Story
Millie has been in foster care for a while now. She is 4 years old and very sweet. We havent been able to test her with dogs or cats but with slow proper introductions we believe she will get along. She is owner surrendered and is in foster care right now. We havent had any behaviour problems with her and she is litterbox trained. If you are interested in adoption please fill out the Adopt A Pet application and we will be in touch. We can give you more history on this sweet little girl at that time.

Story
Grace is an absolutely wonderful cat. She is five years old and in perfect health. She is talkative, friendly and extremely affectionate. She loves to play, likes to sit with us on the sofa and sleeps at the end of our bed at night. She is perfectly house trained, and does not scratch or bite ever. She’s just a funny, lovely girl and I am really upset at the idea of rehoming her. We are moving to Dubai for my husband’s work and may move to yet another country after that. It’s just too far and too complicated and mostly unfair to Grace to drag her around the world. She is a very cozy at home cat. She’s very special. Please reach out with questions or if you’d like to meet this charming and lovely cat.

my sweet little orange baby, Gina. She’s 2 years old, spayed, litter box trained and such a beautiful girl inside and out. Gina has the sweetest personality. She’s a very shy cat who loves to keep to herself, but she’s never mean or aggressive. She loves sitting in windows and watching the world outside, and she does well around both people and other cats. HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE She would do best in a calm, loving home where she can take her time to feel safe and comfortable. she’s such an easy, gentle little soul to have around.

Story
Scarlet is an incredibly social, loving, and rambunctious 11-year-old cat. Unfortunately we have had difficulties with her urinating outside of the litter box which has turned into a health issue for our young children. We’ve tried everything including visiting the vet for scans which found she’s in perfect health other than the beginning of some hip arthritis due to her age. Scarlet would do well in a house where she receives lots of love and attention and doesn’t have to share litter boxes with another cat. She also enjoys being outside, and living in the country where it’s safe for her to spend more time outside might solve her urinating in the house issues. We love her so much and are heartbroken that nothing we’ve tried has worked. Our hope is that someone can give her the attention she needs to solve this issue.

Story
We adopted this sweet girl about 11 months ago, and she is now a year and one month old. She has been nothing but joy in our home. She’s healthy, playful, active, and has a very loving personality. She loves attention, follows people around the house, and can turn anything into a toy. She also has her cute spoiled moments where she likes gentle pets or wants to sit close to you. This has been a very difficult decision for us. Someone in the household recently developed allergies, and it has become challenging to keep her, even though we truly love her. Because we want the absolute best for her, we’re hoping to find a loving and responsible home where she will receive all the attention, care, and stability she deserves.

Story
Sara is an adorably sweet cat. I adopted her when she was only 4 months. She was in a home with a large, noisy family. I say this because she became traumatized from this. When I went to adopt Sara, the members of the family used to chase after her, and poor Sara would hide in her cat tower. Sara is a very sensitive cat, and needs alot of love and attention that i tried to provide for her. However, Sara does not get along with my other cats, and that's unfortunately why I decided i must find her a better home, preferably one that does not have other pets. Shes a sweetheart, loves to cuddle, sits on your lap, and loves people. She likes fish meals, sitting by the window, rolling in the backyard, and chilling with her loved ones. I hope Sara finds a better home for her :)

Story
Jet is a super friendly cat and he loves people and attention. He is not much of a cuddler but does enjoy being scratched all day long. He will however, sit beside you and watch as you do things. I got Jet as a 6 week old kitten from the animal shelter while I was in the army. He has always been big, as in a long tall cat. He does love to eat but is not over weight. He is very curious as most cats are, loves to inspect any new space given to him. Jet has given me so much love and peace but I can no longer keep him. I have moved back home from the army and currently stay with family they are not fans of animals. They have told me I must find a new home. Jet also has a little brother named miles who I will make a separate post about. Miles is one month younger. Both cats being under 2 years old. Miles is the same breed but a bit smaller. I would really like to keep them together but that will of course not be up to me.
