Story
I have had Grendel since she was born from a neighborhood stray that we were taking care of. She is mostly an indoor cat, but does enjoy wandering around the yard, but she is mostly satisfied being indoors all the time. She has recently become more aggressive towards another cat that she has been living with for several years. She has always been less than happy with sharing the house with another cat, but has done so relatively amicably her entire life. She expresses her frustration with the other cat by chasing her and spraying furniture, even when we are all in the same room. I was hoping this was a phase she would get past, but it has been occurring for weeks now. Grendel is 12 years old. She likes to sleep anywhere, on furniture, the floor, and on my lap. She is litter-box trained. She has been mostly deaf for a couple years since the vet treated her for an ear infection. She also is missing her top eye teeth but can still eat any foods, including dry food from a bowl.

Story
Hi! I'm Figaro. I'm 8 months old and a Hemingway cat! I have 6 toes on both front paws, which means I'm polydactyl. You can see my fancy paws in my photos. I'm one of 5 kittens born to a cat owned by a lady with Alzheimer’s. The lady next door took us in to care for us and to prevent my mom from having litter after litter. My foster mom named me after the cat in Pinocchio. I'm very friendly with my foster mom, but I'm still skittish around strangers. However, when I realize that you have food for me, I'll be your best friend in no time at all. Don't know yet if I'll be a lap cat, but I do love to be petted and I purr instantly. I am neutered and have had my rabies and distemper shots. I will need to be an indoor cat where I can be safe and live a long, happy life. I am bonded with my brother Figaro, which you see in one of the photos. I would be so good if we could get adopted together. He is also a Hemingway cat!

Story
I am the black male of two siblings. My sister's name is LuLu. We are seven months old. We enjoy playing with each other and with our toys. I love attention and getting loving but my sister, LuLu, has some differences. She requires a little more patience to come around in a new environment. I feel that we would be better if we were adopted together because of our bond and my sister needs some support from me to have a smoother adjustment to our forever home, but we can be separated if absolutely needed. If you would be interested in giving us our forever home, here is some information you would need to know: Our adoption fees would be $75 each if adopted separately, but if you would like to keep us together, the adoption fee would be reduced to 50% off to cover a portion of our expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials we would need in our new home.

Story
I am Lannie, the female sibling, and my brother is Linnie. We are seven months old now. We are close to looking alike but have a few color differences. Lannie has more of a silver color to him and I have more of a brown color like our momma. We enjoy playing and chasing each other. He has a more curious personality than me. Love attention and giving love while he likes to explore and play. He enjoys catching me off guard and wrestling with me. While our fosters have been awesome, we would be so excited to find our forever home. We would love to be adopted together so we could be playmates but if we absolutely need to be separated we understand. If you would be interested in giving us our forever home, here is some information you would need to know: Our adoption fees would be $75 each if adopted separately, but if you would like to keep us together, the adoption fee would be reduced to 50% off to cover a portion of our expenses for the rescue.

Linus and Lucy are a bonded pair. They are very social and friendly. They will run to answer door when visitors come. They are approx 4 years old and are up to date on shots and spayed/neutered and microchipped. I am heart broken that I need to let them go due to health issues. They are good with dogs and other cats. They are currently indoor cats but would prefer to be in and out. If you are looking for friendly snuggly cats these two are for you.
