Story
Blueregard also goes by Blue or Mr Fat Butt. He is a sweet and cuddly boy for 4 years now. (He’ll be five in July). He loves to sprawl out on anything soft, is always asking for pets and snuggles. He’s very quiet, loves to chow down on his food. He would do well in a home where he can be the baby. A home with either no cats or older cats, and no small children (they make him very anxious).

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We adopted Mr Beans from a shelter as a kitten in 2018. He gets along with my large mastiff but not with our Pomeranians because the Poms barks at him and Beans goes to hide. He hasn’t been around other dogs or cats but I feel like if the other animals are chill and respectful of him he would be the same way. We’ve solved this in the past by having a room for Mr Beans upstairs and keeping the small dogs downstairs where the master bedroom is. After a job loss and having to get a job in a new state and downsize I’m looking for a new home for Mr Beans. He’s a smart cat, I taught him to sit on command and he likes to follow me around the house and sleep by me on the bed whenever the little dogs are away. He still has his claws and enjoys some outside time but has never been a full time outdoor cat. He occasionally eats too quickly and throws up, he has an automatic food dispenser and that helps but still occurs sometimes. The food dispenser and his automatic litter box come with

Story
Chester (M) and Mama (F), a bonded pair since birth. As the name suggests, Mama is Chester’s birth mother. I adopted them in 2018 and absolutely love their personalities. Mama is 7 and Chester will be 6 in June. They greet me when I walk in the door, talk to me (in meows of course) and are always ready for snuggles. They are playful but know how and when to calm down and chill out. They are just the sweetest, most loving babies. Everyone that meets them say they are the best cats ever. I would love for them to be in a home with children as they love attention and snuggles. Or any loving home that can provide more attention than I can provide at this time. My new job has me traveling a lot and I’m not able to give them the love they deserve anymore.

Story
We adopted Nibby (or Nibbyzz or Nibbysis) 3 years ago as a kitten. She is a sweet and loving cat. Loves to cuddle a purr next to you. She is a very intelligent cat and plays with all her toys. If you have other cats in the house she will need a very slow introduction. Other than that she is great with kids and loves to play fetch.
