Story
Edie (Edith) is a 4 year old cat. Very sweet but timid. She’s a talker and loves light affection such as petting her back and sides (doesn’t love head scratches lol). She has a thicker coat and needs brushed frequently, but she is a good sport and loves it. She is moderately overweight but still active around the house. Her owners are separating and are looking to land her with a loving home, preferably with other cats.

Story
We love him and want to keep him. Had to move because of health/finances. He's a great cat. We adopted him when he was a kitten. He's been indoor-outdoor, but could probably adapt to either. He is a sweetie and loves people. Good with kids of all ages. Tolerant and chill. Knows how to use a litter-box when indoors, but when allowed out, just uses the outdoor potty. He has lived with cats and dogs before, and could adapt to other pets again if introduced carefully.

Story
I got Kenny from a cat shelter two years ago. They said he was two years old but the vets believe he is older but do not know by how much. He is shy but loves being pet and sleeps a lot. He has issues eating and digesting hard kibble, and is mainly fed wet food. He lives with two big dogs and one cat and they all get along fine. He doesn’t need much attention and is not very active.

Story
I am reaching out with a very difficult and deeply personal request. I am looking for a loving, caring home for my two beloved cats, bonded brothers - Dobby and Maximillion (Maxie).As I prepare to sell my home and begin traveling much more, I have had to face the heartbreaking reality that I cannot take them with me on the road. After much thought and consideration, I truly believe that the kindest thing I can do for them is to find them a stable, loving home where they can be happy, comfortable, and well cared for.Meet Dobby, who is 15 years old, and Maxie, who is 11. They are both healthy, affectionate, friendly, and incredibly loving. They absolutely adore being with their people and will happily curl up in your lap whenever they get the chance. They have been a very special part of my life, and letting them go is not something I am doing lightly.

Story
Oscar is a good big boy! He is a sweet cat and he loves outside. He was found as a kitten at 4 weeks in a garage stuck between the brick and the drywall, the mama cat had taken her other kittens and left. A couple days later his brother was found. I was able to find a loving home for his brother but Oscar ended up staying with me, he's 6 now. Oscar enjoys scratchies, sometimes belly rubs if he feels like it, and he likes to taunt the other pets in the household. Oscar loves loafing around and being chill. It is breaking my heart to have to rehome him, but I am struggling in a way that is unfair to him, Oscar deserves a good home that can take care of all his needs. He's not a picky eater, but he doesn't seem to like fish, and he won't wear a collar. But he is a pretty easy cat otherwise.

Story
Pepper is a super sweet kitty who loves to snuggle. I got her when I went to buy a car at a dealer right off the high way. At about 4 or 5 weeks old this little kitten had climbed up from the grass on the off ramp into the parking lot and was following customers around meowing at them. One of the staff took pitty on her and was carrying her around. He had asked if my kids could watch her while I looked for and purchased my car, my kids were thrilled. Of course I took her home. My intention was to get her cleaned up and find her a forever home. She ended up staying. She is now 8 and she is such a good kitty, but she has bad allergies. I am in a position where I can no longer afford her care, it breaks my heart to have to give her up, but it is the most responsible thing I can do right now. Pepper is going to make a great addition to a family with older kids and no other cats or dogs. Pepper does well with people, not so well with other animals.

Story
I got her from one of a kind in Akron, Ohio four years ago and she has been a little ball of energy and joy. She loves to play and is super active she loves wand toys. She sits on your lap while you’re at your desk but she’s very stand offish if you touch her paws or anything. She loves attention :)
