Story
Chloe is 4 years old. She is a sweet chatty baby. She loves to cuddle when you are sitting down anywhere. A true lap cat. She likes to sleep with you and will follow you around. Chloe is great with both other cats Iamd children. She is shy when first meeting new people but warms up. Chloe is EXTREMELY food motivated she will murder for chicken and never says no to treats. I am no longer able to care for her. My landlord has restricted the amount of cats allowed and added a pet fee. I cannot afford to find a new place or keep her at my current place. Please give her a loving home. I am willing to cover some of her upfront expenses when she is rehomed such as litter, food, etc.

Story
Milo was found outside across the street from my mother's home. We took him to the sheltor and they were able to nurse him back to health and we adopted him after the fact. He is now 11 and has been with me ever since. He got a brother soon after that we absolutely loved. Snuggle buddy if you will. He is amazing with kids and any people. He is super friendly meaning he greets people at the door when guests come over lol. He is a snuggle bug and just an overall amazing cat to have. He started Developing of VERY SENSITICE STOMACH AND GUT. I have been through every food non to mad at this point every supplement medicine purina sachets EVERYTHING. Financially I can't take care of him anymore. I also think our youngest cat being1 years old has made the house more loud then it used to be being that Milo is 12 and his brother is 11 they like more piece and quiet now that they are seniors. I just think an only cat home and a more calming home his issues will disappear.

Story
Mouse is a quiet, outgoing kitty who lives to love. Her perfect day would include a game of chase and hide and seek, some playful petting, then to cuddle up on your lap and purr for hours. She loves sprawling out in the sun and watching out windows, plays with people and independently. Mouse was rescued as a tiny kitten 4 years ago and was almost mistaken as a mouse, hence her name. She does well around kids and can acclimate to other cats, but is very afraid of dogs. She is low maintenance, eats dry food and does not beg or try to steal people food. She has so much love and cuddles to give and needs someone to share them with and to appreciate her sweetness.

Story
Say hello to Hilda! This pretty old lady came to us in October of 2025 due to the current pet in the home not accepting her. She is quite the shy girl, preferring to nap away on the top shelf of her kennel — until a tasty treat is offered, that is! Food is the quickest way to her heart, especially in the form of a lickable treat or wet food. Once she warms up to you, Hilda is a sweetheart who likes to cuddle and absolutely loves a good head scratch! She can be fairly vocal about things she likes (and doesn't like) and certainly demands the pampered life she deserves. We have not seen much playful behavior from Hilda, but we suspect she likes to play when no one's watching as her toys are always moved around. In her previous home, it became evident that Hilda prefers a chill life. She'd do best as the only cat in the home or with a male cat companion. We have not seen her with dogs. Hilda is great with respectful, calm children but fearful of younger and louder children. Hilda is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
