Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
June was the runt of her litter as a kitten, she has been through a lot of moving and change, I now have a 1 year old and I think she is jealous of the attention I can no longer give her. She can be very loving to those she warms up to and she is very hesitant to new people. We can no longer provide for her, But I do not want her to suffer outside. She is litter box trained and is not a picky eater.

Story
Hi, I'm trying to rehome my 2 cats together, they are turning 5 in November and I adopted Westley and his sister in 2022. Westly is supper cuddly and a bit clingy, but very shy. He's never had any major medical issues and is up to date on his shots. I'm trying to move in with my father who is having medical issues and dealing with my mom's passing, but he is severely allergic to cat dander. thank you for considering

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Meet Zeus, a joyful and adventurous kitten born in mid-February. His mother was a rescued cat that was already pregnant, and Zeus, along with his sisters, was born indoors, safe and sound. He is a healthy, happy kitten, full of curiosity and energy, and he adores playing with his sisters. Zeus would thrive in a calm, stable home with a patient female pet parent—young or older—who can provide a quiet environment, free from young children or dogs. He has no outside experience and would be happiest as an indoor kitty. If you’re looking for a sweet, curious companion to bring energetic love into your home, Zeus is ready to be your perfect match and find his forever home.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
This is Grace, she's a lighter brown/tan tabby with a delicate striped pattern and roughly 11 weeks old at all the time of listing.She’s a bit shy, especially around mealtimes, as she’s a timid eater when her siblings are close. But beneath that shyness is a truly sweet, affectionate soul. Once she feels safe, Grace blossoms—playful, curious, and eager to chase feather wands. After a bit of play, she loves to curl up beside you, purring and nuzzling your hand. Grace would be perfect for a single middle-aged or older woman, especially one without children or other pets, as she needs a calm, predictable home. She must stay inside, as she has no experience with the outdoors. Grace is so ready for her forever home, where she can spend peaceful hours with her person, offering quiet companionship and love. Once she trusts you, Grace’s gentle, classic charm will fill your home with peace, love and warm kitty cuddles.

Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Eris was rescued last summer, she was extremely skinny and weak but has since gained a good amount of weight and seems relatively healthy. She's missing her top canine teeth but is fine with eating dry food and is extremely picky about wet food. We think Eris was previously abused because she watches hands and does become aggressive during petting off and on, plus she seems to be warier of men. She can be very sweet, but does have significant aggression issues and after we rescued two more kitties this winter she's gotten worse. She mostly just growls and hisses at the other cats but she sometimes attacks us, even if we were just walking by. We think she would do much better as a single cat with a female owner, and preferably someone more experienced with kitties who have behavioral issues. We care for her greatly but we can't even get her in a carrier to go to the vet and she doesn't seem to do well with other animals. Eris also loves being outside, so indoor-outdoor is preferred
