Story
Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.

Story
Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.

Story
Daisy is a personable, highly playful, adorable female with so much spunk. We adopted her 2 years ago as a playmate for our existing kitty but have to rehome her at long last because of allergies. We've been reluctant to rehome her but the allergies have gotten too hard to ignore. As we move into a new home, we are hoping to find the perfect home for her as well. Daisy is highly social and loves her attention. She likes to play and wrestle with other kitties, and will talk to you if you strike up a conversation! She loves her toys and action. Because she was rescued from the side of the road, she tends to be on high alert when she hears a sound she doesn't know, but is easily comforted with kind words. She is welcoming to new people and very curious about her surroundings! She is spayed and has all of her claws. She does not use a scratching post but likes coarser rugs to scratch on. We think Daisy would do best in a house with at least one other cat or critter to keep her company.

Michael is a sweet boy he just has scaredy cat tendencies. The vet thinks it’s anxiety. I tried the medication and it didn’t work. I’ve tried to take him to the local shelter and they will not accept cats right now or any time I’ve tried. I can’t just abandon him.. he needs a nice home.
