Story
This poor guy was abandoned by his family. They moved and just put him out on the street to fend for himself. The homeless people in the area began abusing him. A good Samaritan worried for his safety contacted us. He has been vetted and this sweet guy just can't catch a break. He is under 2 years old and is neutered, but is positive for FIV. (equivalent to HIV in humans). He can go on to live many years and lead a normal life with good nutrition and a low stress environment. Due to the virus it is recommended that he be in a home with no other cats, unless they too are infected. He is such a sweet boy. If you have a soft spot in your heart for needy and forgotten felines, please think about giving this gentle guy a loving home.

Story
I URGENTLY need to rehome my 2 year old cat Chance. PLEASE HELP. He is fixed and a polydactyl cat. Unfortunately is is very fearful of new people so it will take him a while to warm up to you, but he is very loving. Gets along with dogs and I have another male cat. My 1 request of his rehoming is you have a place for a Catio! Please take mine, have one , or buy one for him to sit outside. He loves sitting in my catio ( cat padio) all day but is terrified to be outside by himself. He loves flying feather toys, and has a weird fixation with twist ties and thumb tacks (for real he'll steal them out of cork boards) He likes to snuggle occasionally. And loves to sleep in bed with up you. Spends most of his time looking out windows or sun bathing in his catio. Doesn't NOT like yelling or cursing. He will run and hid if people are yelling. He's never been around kids, but I think he'd do great.

Story
🌸 Meet Camilla – Our Beautiful Little Tiger-Calico Girl! 🌸 Sweet Camilla is a stunning young lady with the softest mix of tiger stripes and calico patches — a true one-of-a-kind beauty! 😻 She was rescued right before the cold weather arrived, along with her siblings, after starting life as a stray. Since then, she’s come such a long way and continues to surprise us every day with her gentle spirit and playful personality. Camilla loves to play and explore when she feels comfortable, batting around toys and chasing shadows like the curious little huntress she is. 🎾✨ She’s still a bit unsure of new people and situations — a little shy at first — but once she learns to trust you, you’ll see just how sweet and special she truly is. 💕 She’ll need a patient, loving person or family who understands that the best bonds take time to grow. With kindness and consistency, Camilla will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your patience a hundred times over. 🐾 About Camilla: 🐱 Female – Tiger/Calico mix 🎂 Estimated DOB: 8/8/2024 💉 Up to date on shots & spayed 🧼 Fully litter box trained 🐶 Gets along with other cats and dogs 🏡 Could thrive as an indoor-outdoor or even a barn kitty, where she can feel free while still knowing the comfort of a safe, loving home Camilla may be shy, but she has the heart of a survivor and the soul of a sweetheart. All she needs is someone patient enough to show her that humans can be trusted — someone who will give her the time she needs to truly feel at home. 🌷 If you have the love, patience, and space for a shy but sweet little beauty, Camilla might just be the purrfect addition to your heart and home. ❤️
