Story
Leo is an old man who has a quiet scratchy chirp for a voice. He is hard of hearing and limited vision in one eye. He has been a stray growing up in an apartment complex where he has been bullied by other cats and likely was hit by a car when he was a kitten. He walks with a limp and has one good eye. He had an infection as a kitten that wasn’t treated so unfortunately he lost vision in one eye because of that. He is litter box trained but would need time to decompress and adjust to life inside. He is friendly either his caretakers but not trusting of other animals. He is an old man that just needs a place to retire and rest. He loves windows and would love a covered enclosed catio. He would do best in a home with no children and no cats or dogs. He needs a retirement home. He just needs a safe quiet clean place with a gentle voice, little pats here & there, not too much fuss, and a cozy spots to sleep.

Story
We adopted Moonie (formerly Esther Price) from the Humane Society as a companion for our playful older cat. Unfortunately our cat has not adjusted to her companion and the two can hardly be in the same area together. Moonie is 12 years old and very sweet. She loves pets and scratches, but currently spends the majority of her time hiding from our cat. She does not care to be picked up, but loooves to be pet. It's uncertain if she would do well with other cats (she came from a home with another cat) or dogs. She does really well with elementary aged kids.

Story
She is a 6 year old tabby that I’ve had since she was about 8 weeks old. My living situation has recently changed and I’m looking to either temporarily or permanently re-home her. An ideal home would be someone who has no small children under age 9. Full disclosure, she has not lived with children period and is not used to them at all. She also does not like dogs at all. She had a brother (cat) who was her companion for the majority of her life until he died recently, so she would possibly get along with another cat that is also male but ideally if I could find someone that doesn’t have any other pets I believe that’s where she would be happiest. She is litter trained, likes to go in and out of the house, and and will avoid scratching things provided that she has a scratching post and toys. She eats a whole can of wet food a day and also partially dry food as well. She is a really sweet and loving girl and loves to cuddle, she is also vocal at times. when she wants something.

Story
In search of a wonderful home for this kitty. Toby showed up at our home one day in July and never left. We took him in to give him a great home before we realized he was a TNR cat. He is absolutely wonderful and loving with adults and our 2 indoor male cats but not our 2 female ones. We would love to find him a loving home with someone who needs a great buddy. Not certain of age but definitely over a year or two old. He recently received a rabies shot as well. Although he is a TNR cat, we feel he needs the love from a human instead of being back outside alone to fend for himself. He follows you around the home everywhere you go, he will chirp and talk, literally give you hugs around your neck, loves to be in your lap and plays with much energy. Thank you for your consideration.

Story
This is a stray cat that has been coming around my house the last month. I believe it is a male. He is very very sweet and loves to be pet. He tries to get inside my house and I have not seen any aggression from him whatsoever. Id really like for him to find a home because I think he would be a great pet and he seems like he wants a home. I cannot take him in because I already have multiple cats. His ear is clipped so Im suspecting that he is neutered but I cant be sure. He has been around for awhile and doesnt show any signs of sickness so Id like to believe he is not sick with anything but I strongly strongly suggest getting him tested for FELV and FIV just to be safe especially if you have other cats. Hes very sweet and would love a home!
