Story
Meet Banta, a loving and gentle brown tabby looking for her forever home. Banta is 12 years old and has been a cherished member of our family for most of her life. She thrives in a calm and quiet environment, which we are unable to provide now that we have two small children. She has also stopped getting along with our other cat and needs a new home as soon as possible. Banta's sweet and sometimes shy nature shines through when she gets to snuggle and play. She's in great health overall, though she does have a history of urinary tract infections, which are well-managed with a urinary care stress diet. She was also declawed as a kitten. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to bring warmth and joy to your home, Banta is the perfect cat for you. She deserves a home where she can receive all the attention and love she deserves.

Story
Artemis was rescued from an unfortunate situation where she was kept in a cage under a tarp on the street in an encampment. She is a very affectionate and social girl! She is very comfortable around all people, other cats, and dogs. She is very gentle and loves to play and climb! Artemis would do very well in an environment where she can have plenty of enrichment and indoors only. She would do just fine as a solo cat, and she would also do very well in a home with other animals.

Both boys not fixed need rehomed to good home for free. Please let me know they're going somewhere to be loved they are no longer welcome here and I don't want them in a tent with me. I want them to at least be the temporarily fostered til I can take them 3 months or rehome them. They are a pair since birth. They're about 6 months old. Almost 7 months. Not updated on shots just the first initial ones they both need fixed. But they need each other for comfort so they come as a pair. Littler box included with some food and they've been mostly inside comfort cats.

Got her as a baby to sit with my other cat while I went to work. She is very shy and anxious , prefers quiet spaces. She doesn’t like kids but will just run away, she won’t fight them. Gets along with cats just fine.

Story
We rescued Clover when she was a kitten and living on the streets. She’s about five years old. Clover does well around our dog but hasn’t been around any other dogs or cats. She usually hides from small kids but she loves playing with older kids and will even “hunt them” and do sneak attacks. We are rehoming her because we can’t get her to stop peeing on our couch. I don’t know if this behavior issue stems from the stress of our own house becoming more active or because she’s not being stimulated enough during the day.

Tom is a sweet cat. He loves the indoors and outdoors. Loves to cuddle up on anything soft. He is a curious and quiet cat. Does not need much, other than some yummy food and cuddles. He can be jumpy but will adapt when he needs to. Gets along with our other cat very well.

Sweet affectionate one year old boy, used to get along with other cats but now they fight, doesn’t like new people until he gets comfortable. Very much does his own thing but loves pets and scratched when he comes up to you. Goes crazy for treats and loves cat nip. Has a bad habit of knocking over his water bowl so prefers a fountain. Not super interested in the outside has always been an indoor cat. Does good at the vet just is nervous.

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

Meet Onyx! Onyx is the sweetest two year old house panther! He is extremely chill, go with the flow and gets along with everyone - kitties and humans alike. Onyx is a long boy, who loves to use those long legs to run! He loves chasing around toys, and especially likes interactive ones that move around. He also wouldn't mind having a kitty playmate - he got along with the other kitties in his foster home very quickly. Onyx also has a great appetite! He loves food... wet food, dry kibble, treats - he's all about it! Food = fuel for his playtime! He loves to be loved on and is all purrs when you give his head scratches. He also doesn't mind being held, and will often find himself curled up in your lap or next to you on the couch. Onyx is a great little guy looking for his furever family and a home that can provide him with lots of love, playtime and of course tasty treats!

Story
Loki is a 4 year old girl who is sweet and playful. She loves being around people, and is very social. She was raised with my son in the house and is great with kids. We are moving, and unfortunately pets are not allowed. We'd prefer her new home have people who will play with her, and keep to her normal feeding schedule (she does very well with set times).
