Story
Spanky is around 10 or 11 years old. We adopted him from an animal shelter back in 2015. He is a very spunky and curious cat. He loves being an indoor/outdoor cat. He never wanders far. He loves to explore. He also loves chasing things like flies and twisty ties. He loves cat nip and scratching his cat post. He loves to cuddle on his time. He will usually cuddle up to us at night. He loves temptations cat treats and is very picky with wet food. He will only eat the cat food with chunks and gravy. He does not like pate. He isn't as picky with dry cat food. Unfortunately, our dog has a high prey drive. While we have tried working with her, but she still goes after Spanky. We are also moving and cannot take him with us. We want to avoid surrendering him to a shelter. He is a very sweet boy.

Story
Fergie is such a sweet boy. He loves to cuddle, is very vocal where food is involved, and likes to play w/ wand toys and springs! He was found behind a new coffee shop, and my spouse and I thought he would be able to assimilate with our established 3 girls. He has not been able too, and we don’t have the capacity to integrate them in the correct fashion. We love this boy and want him to go to a good home. It would likely be best for him to be the only pet.

Story
Malcolm Reynolds is one of my three cats. He is the most lovable and cuddly guy. When it comes to humans. Over the last 2 and 1/2 years has been rough with the other two cats and the dog. We have tried everything to make him feel comfortable but his anxiety is through the roof. When the baby came home about 8 months ago it got substantially worse. And he started attacking the other cats and now has become aggressive towards the baby and we are worried about that right now. We have tried calming medicine, talked to the vet, and all of these things, but ultimately we have come to the conclusion that he really needs to be in a home where it is just him. He is a fantastic little critter and it breaks my heart that he is not doing well in this home right now. But we are no longer a good fit. He needs a home where he is the only cat and that he can get all the love and cuddles that he asks for constantly. I have had him for roughly 8 years and it is the hardest thing to post.

This is Lucy, A cuddy and sassy girl who is Elmo's partner in crime. This girl loves to be brushed, pampered and play with teaser toys. She is a bit on the hefty side so may need to be on a diet. Like her partner Elmo, Lucy's owner lost there home so both these cuties need a loving and stable home. she tolerates dogs and cats but she will do best with Elmo so please adopt both. She has 0 special needs and is ready to come home with the right family (with Elmo)

Ethel is a sweet girl. We found her outside as a kitten, now she is grown we think about 2 and a half years old. I had to stop taking allergy shots and I think her hair causes me issues. She will absolutely love anyone who takes her in. Have all her paperwork, and shot information.

Story
I found him as a kitten and took him in over a year ago. He’s super sweet and sometimes skittish, but he’s truly the best. My schedule has grown busy with work, thus I am unable to care for him like I would want to. I want him to have the best quality of life with all the cuddles. I am allergic so there aren’t as many as he deserves. Looking for a loving owner who can take him in and care for him for good.
