Story
Tucker is a great cat. He gets along well with my 3 dogs yet doesn't with 2 female cats we rescued. This is why we need to find him a home asap. He is very independent, likes to be where you are, loves the bathroom sink, and looking out the windows. He also loves a little milk when my husband has his cereal! I've been trying to rehome him for a year now. I would rather him go directly to a home than to the shelter first.

Story
Precious is 12 years old, she is a spayed female who is all up to date on vaccinations. Precious was born by a stray who adopted my uncle as her human. My uncle loved the stray and then her three daughters right up to his passing this year. Unfortunately, I have four rescue cats and two rescue dogs already otherwise I would keep them myself. Precious is such a loving girl, she has the softest fur and will wait patiently for your love. Do not expect privacy with this girl as she thinks bathroom breaks means petting time. She loves to be on you, beside you or under your feet if you're available. She'll wait her turn for affection but is always ready to return the love. While she thoroughly loves people, she is hesitant to befriend my other animals.

Starlight is 12 years old, she is a spayed female who is all up to date on vaccinations. Starlight was born by a stray who adopted my uncle as her human. My uncle loved the stray and then her three daughters right up to his passing this year. Unfortunately, I have four rescue cats and two rescue dogs already otherwise I would keep them myself. Starlight is such a shy and sweet girl, she has an irresistible raspy meow that will melt your heart. I've never known a cat to act so appreciative of any love you give her, as if she doesn't think she deserves any. Which is nonsense because she is the sweetest most deserving good girl in the world. She's not much of an explorer and will be happy staying on your bed all day waiting for your love or to snuggle you at night. She has a very calming, loving presence about her. While she loves people with all her heart, she is slow to befriend my other animals, she'd rather avoid them than interact.

Story
Bruni was given to us by his previous owner. His plan was to leave Bruni on the side of the road. So I opted to take him and find a home for him. When Bruni was just a kitten he escaped from his previous owners home and broke his front right leg. Bruni was in a cast for ten weeks. Seven weeks longer than the vet tech had recommended. Bruni’s previous owner didnt want to take off the cast himself and also didnt want to pay the vet to do it. So I took measures into my own hands and I cut it off. Bruni was left with sores, mold, and bacteria in his open wounds. Bruni is now starting to get older, he has started spraying and needs to be neutered. Bruny was left in a crate most of the day when he was with his owner. He was not played with or socialized. He didnt have favorite toys or any comfort items when I received him. He would barely let us hold him. He needs some TLC, all he wants is love but he knows his owner abandoned him. Please help us find a loving patient home for Bruni.
