Story
Lyra is 3 years old this December and she’s an absolute people person sometimes so much so it feels like she has the personality of a dog some days. She loves hair ties and scratches. Moving to Japan so I cannot take her with me unfortunately. She lives in a house with a dog and another cat.

Story
Ivy wandered into a friend’s auto body shop and I agreed to take her in temporarily which ended up being a year long stint. Absolutely fantastic cat. She takes a few days to get comfortable around others but is a very loving cat. Wish I could take her with me to Japan but the circumstances just aren't right. She still needs to be spayed, something I’ve been meaning to do but a TDY, deployment, and now a PCS have delayed me from doing so. She currently lives with another cat (Lyra) who is also going up for adoption. I would prefer that both cats go to the same home but not a must. I will pay for her new owner to get her spayed.

Story
Kittens cannot be fixed until 5-6 months old! Ginger is a 3 month old kitten, born October 5th, to a community cat named Luna who is Calico. She is part of the second litter I’ve helped raise. She has been socialized daily, is litter box trained and eats dry food. She has been dewormed and is ready to start her vaccine schedule. Ginger is energetic and playful, a little feisty sometimes, but still very cuddly and affectionate. I am also willing to rehome in pairs since they make great friends and playmates.

Story
Isaac is 15 months old and we adopted him 12/26/24, from a family whose older cat did not get along. He is extremely affectionate, playful, and people-oriented. He wants to be with us constantly: cuddling, following us around the house, or engaging in interactive play. He scratches well on posts, enjoys toys, and uses his litter boxes reliably. He does not do well with older, non-playful cats. He has never been with a younger, playful cat, so he might do well with them. He is currently on stress management medication. We think he needs to be: An only cat, or possibly with a young, energetic cat who truly wants to play as much as he does; In a home with people who can give him daily interactive play, especially in the mornings; With someone who enjoys a very affectionate, cuddly companion; Ideally with someone comfortable managing his current medication routine, or exploring under vet guidance, whether he can be weaned off it in a stress-free environment
