Story
We took Sunday in off the street when she was a kitten. She had an infection that has been treated, but she still has minor scaring around her eyes. Her name is Sunday, but she responds to the name Kiki as well. Sunday is about two years old and is a very sweet girl. She is incredibly sweet and gentle as well as getting along well with strangers, dogs, cats, and children. She has had a single litter of kittens, but since then she has been spayed. Although she loves to be pet and cuddled, she does not like to be held. She has never scratched anyone, she just makes unhappy noises when picked up. She has lived inside and outside, but is definitely more suited to be an indoor cat. She is very food motivated. Unfortunately I am moving out of my parents house and can only bring one of our two cats with me. Sundays daughter is more aggressive and hard to win over, so I feel Sunday would more easily assimilate into a new home.

Saved this kitty from living outside at my mom’s house, I no longer have the means to take full care of it. He is such a sweet cuddly baby and he’s about 7 months old. If you’re interested in two he also has a sister of the same age and they’re bonded

Story
Max is a sweetheart who is happiest snuggling in a lap or snoozing under a bed. He loves pets and attention. He has lived his whole life with another cat, so with time I'm sure he'd adjust to living with a new cat. He hasn't been around a dog since he came to live with us at 10 wks old. I think he'd do fine with a mellow dog. Max spent the first 4 wks of his life living outside with a feral mom, so his fight or flight instincts are very present but it's ALWAYS flight. He has never been at all aggressive. He runs away when people come into the house but will return if it's a person he's comfortable with. I do think a noisier/busier home would be too stressful for him. When my kids and grandkids come over as a bigger group, he stays hidden away until they leave. He will come out for quieter guests that come around often. He has never had any litter box issues and his front claws have been removed. I want to find him a home with someone who will love him like we do. (DOB 4/9/19)

I have a 4yr orange american short-hair who's rambunctious, he would need someone who is willing to give a good amount of attention to him he's loves his pets but he like to chose when to cuddle.

Story
It's a tough decision to make, but I've decided to rehome my princess, Lucy. She has been a great companion, but I have too many cats. She is spayed, has her claws (but doesn't use them on furniture), microchipped Likes: a clean litter box and a full food dish, her own space, tops of couches and looking out the windows Dislikes: loud noises, annoying brother cats chasing her She would be fine with little kids, but don't expect her to play with them. Would be better suited for older kids or adults. She does meow, but mainly to remind you it's time to eat. Her fur is super soft. It's very important to me that she goes to a good home. Please pm me if you are interested to see if she's a good fit.

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.
