Story

Salt was a stray who came frequently to my porch for food and a safe place to sleep. I could tell he was once someone’s house cat, rather than a feral, so I took him in, as a foster. Unfortunately, he has some trauma from the time he spent on the streets, can react aggressively when he feels threatened, Salt absolutely MUST be in a dog-free home, with no small children, and should have an experienced, patient adopter, who can manage his reactivity. He also needs to learn how to play gently, without claws and teeth getting involved. Salt is: 2.5 years old Friendly to other cats Playful and curious FIV+ He enjoys: Bring brushed Observing human activity, especially cooking Looking out the window from his perch Teaser toys and catnip He hates: Dogs Salt has the potential to blossom into a sweet, loving cat, in the right home. He loves being with people, and wants to befriend our resident cats. Unfortunately, due to us having a dog, our home is not a good fit.

Salem is a 4month old kitten who was born on December 6 2023. He loves to feel included (Especially in playtime). Loves to snuggle once he’s comfortable. He’s also been learning these past few months to sit when told to. Still needs a bit of practice but he gets the hang of it when you tell him to...maybe two or four times (lol)

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

Hi! My name is Kahlua! I am almost 4 years old, but as playful as a kitten! I like: Sleeping in Working from home Long walks to the bedroom for snuggles Kisses The occasional mouse intruder to catch Sink sitting Bathroom break lap sitting Talking your ear off Playing frequently Relaxing by warm vents Waiting for you by the door Being in whatever room you are in Snuggling all night long right next to you High up places to explore Bird watching I dislike: Glasses full of water sitting suspiciously on tables I have been indoor all my life (and have been outside a couple times on a leash). I have been in a home with other animals before, such as a boxer and another cat. I have interacted with small dogs as well. Due to my playful nature, I might not be the best fit for a household with small children. Looking for a new family to share all my love and affection!
