Need to rehome cat. Friendly, playful, healthy, polydactyl, good with dogs. My living situation changed and I can’t keep her. She was a stray we took in. I’m navigating through a divorce and the change was unforeseen.

Story
I am rehoming my sweet girl because we have some serious sudden health issues in OUR health, and as a result we do not have the time and cannot devote the attention to her that she needs. She is a very affectionate cat, loves to sleep in our beds or right next to us and be near us. She follows me each morning as I get ready for the day just to get extra pets, and is always at the door when I get home. She likes to look out the window, sometimes open with the screen closed so she can lay there and watch nature for hours. She likes to play on her own in short bursts. She really likes to snuggle up whenever we are still. 🥰 She always comes and tells us after she uses her litter which is nice. She does not do well with other dogs, I'm not sure about cats. She is affectionate with us and our child, but not with strangers, as she doesn't like to be pet by them. She lays in all types of crazy positions which is hilarious, so the picture opportunities are endless! Such a sweet girl!

Story
I found Minnie outside starving. At the time I had no idea she was pregnant but when I found out I fostered her. She is estimated to be about two to three years of age and she is house trained and litter trained. I’m looking for a home that will give her the love and attention she deserves. She loves playing with toys and is obsessed with catnip! She enjoys crawling into your lap whenever she needs a hug. She is known to meow loudly when she feels she isn’t getting enough attention and she loves treats! Especially the yogurt cat treats. For some reason she enjoys plants and running around on hard wood floors. She gets along with other cats and is fixed and vaccinated. She’s been treated for worms and fleas. Her kittens have found homes and she had a healthy pregnancy. She acts like a kitten all of the time and just wants to be loved. She gets along with people and can be picked up, brushed, and I am able to clip her nails on my own.

Story
Captain is a kitty with sever Wobblers Syndrome. He does not need special medical attention for this but he's very wobbly. He's a calm, affectionate guy who just wants to lay around a buddy. My animals that I do have bully and attack him. Over the past year he's lost some weight and I'm afraid my other cat may attack him severally when I'm not home. He's great with kids. I have children who Ragdoll him around and he never even growls at them. He's so kind hearted and I'm looking for a loving home for him. ***CAPTAIN UPDATE*** After being in a different environment older children would be preferred.

Story
Mittens is being surrendered to our rescue due to too many animals in the home. She is utd on vaccinations & spayed. She is an independent cat, who will snuggle with you occasionally. She might need a little work with litter training, it is intermittent, but it is probably due to the number of cats in the home vs. the number of litter boxes. She is about 3 years old and weighs about 8lbs
