I got Cherry from my cousin. She’s around 7 years old until January. She’s very sweet, likes to hang out next to humans. Like affection but sometimes doesn’t like her head touched. Very friendly and wouldn’t hurt a fly but playful with other cats.

Angel is a sweet and energetic kitten. He loves chasing red laser dots. He was born on December 18, 2025. He is a little timid around new sounds and noise. He would enjoy a new home that has a lot of space for him to run around and investigate.

Story
I found Dashi eating garbage in the middle of the street last year. I took him to the vet and discovered that he has an owner, however they had originally adopted him to use as a mouser for a basement in a business that closed. We decided to try to keep him, but he doesn’t get along with our other cat. We’ve tried everything, but he attacks our cat on sight, and we can’t deal with it anymore. He’s a brilliant mouser, with at least 6 kills in the time that we have had him. He’s great with our dogs, but would need a home without other cats. We’re are currently separating him in the basement at night, but he hates it and it isn’t fair to make him live like this. We’re are starting him on Prozac, however if that doesn’t work we will need to let him go. With his struggles I’m concerned that he will be euthanized. If you are looking for a cute little guy with a lot of personality he could be for you. We will hold on to him for as long as possible. We will provide brand new cat supplies.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Louie is a spunky cat who loves tuna and cuddles. He is very friendly with people and enjoys playing with the laser beam. He also loves to jump and chase feather toys. He even played fetch as a kitten. He was found at 3 months old with his male litter mate and has been in a happy home for 10 years. We recently adopted 2 dogs and ever since then he has been having behavioral issues. He is aggressive towards his brother and they have had territorial issues. He would do best as an only cat, or with someone who has experience with territorial issues in cats. He is a sweet boy who needs a happy home.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Leo found me around 1 year ago. I took him in and he has been neutered, micro-chipped, up to date vaccinations and well cared for. He loves the outdoors yet is very affectionate to me and my bernadoodle, Ziggy. Unfortunately my daughter passed away and I am traveling now which does not bode well for a cat. I had someone stay at my home for 3 weeks to care for him while I was away. My next trip is for 2 months and I don’t have anyone to continue to stay with him and it is unfair to Leo. I’m looking for an animal loving home which Leo can become a part of. I have a carrier, litter box, litter and some food to go with him wherever he ends up.

American Shorthair

Female, Adult
Cleveland, OH

Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Caramel started off as a foster kitty with my roommates but I soon adopted her after a couple months. We’ve been together for almost three years now and she is turning four in September! She is the friendliest cat ever and steals the heart of everyone who meets her. She loves to cuddle and is usually lounging around by the window because she loves to people watch. She’s quite a talkative girl and is 99% you can hear her purring. Caramel can be pretty independent but she shouldn’t be free fed because she can be a bit greedy and eat more than she needs and throw it up afterwards. She’s not a huge fan of toys because edge gets bored pretty quickly but loves a scratching pad so I usually get her a fun one every few months. Overall she’s a great girl I am just sadly moving and will not be home as often due to traveling for school. She deserves someone who will give her a steady schedule and constant cuddles.
