Story
Full name is Dr. Petunia Pepper. She is almost 3 years old. My daughter joined the military and could not take her cat. She does have a tendency to be dominant when introduced to new cats but will relax and be fine when given time. Pepper very much is one of those cats that picks her person and no one else exists unless its time to eat. She will definitely let you know when its feeding time. We had a dog that she got along with famously. She did learn 1 bad habit from him. She learned to scratch at the door to let you know she wants in. She loves to sleep with her person. But if the person isn't available she will wait til someone else falls asleep and then sleep by their legs but leaves before they wake up so they never know she showed affection. I'm hoping to find a home that loves her quirks as much as we have. Oh one last thing. She's also one of those cats that has a large belly pouch. She's not fat per se she's just thiiiicc.

Story
Meet Bubba Bubba is an 8-year-old male cat I adopted in college when he was just 1. He is incredibly friendly, smart, and happily lazy. Bubba loves sunbathing, relaxing near his people, and enjoying his favorite treats. He does well with adults, children, and other pets. While he tolerates dogs, he prefers to keep his distance, as rough or high-energy play can scare him. He thrives best in a calm, low-stress environment. This has been an extremely difficult decision. I am currently pregnant, and per my OB-GYNs medical guidance, Bubba needs to be kept separated from me and the baby. Due to the tight layout of our home and his need for free range, this has become unmanageable. Despite trying, I have not been able to find a family member or friend who can take him. My goal is to find Bubba a safe, loving home. To help with his transition, I will provide a big box food, his robotic litter box, and all supplies at no cost. Bubba deserves a peaceful home and to be loved
