Story
I adopted Newman when he was just a little baby. He was the only black kitty there and I knew I had to have him. He is the funniest most unique cat I’ve ever met. The way he plays, the way he communicates with all his weird sounds he makes. He always wants to be around you, there isn’t one place I go that he isn’t following my every footstep. It is not an easy decision for me to have to rehome him. But due to his behavioral issues I am not able to keep him anymore. I have went to the vet on many occasions and I don’t have enough money to keep trying to find out why he just won’t stop peeing on specific things. I am also moving and cannot take him with me. I would be sooo so happy if he could go to a loving home. He deserves it.

Story
The mother is a feral cat (friendly) that lives in my neighborhood. In Sept I discovered she had 4 kittens. I estimate they were born in mid-August. I captured and have fostered them since early November. They all took to the litter immediately. The 2 up for adoption are very friendly (once they get to know you) and playful, and both are starting to cuddle with me on the couch. My landlord won't let me keep 2 kittens (I also have a blind adult cat), and I can't afford to keep all of them long term. I'd like to have both adopted together since they've been together since birth and are very close to each other. I can share more about their individual personalities when I meet a potential owner.

Story
We love Addie very much. She is cuddly, sweet, & obsessed with squiggle toys. She loves attention & wiggles around in anticipation of being pet. We rescued Addie when her litter was found outside. Her birthday is 9/7/2020. Addie does not get along with our youngest female cat. She has no issues with our boy cats - in fact, she’s very cuddly with them. It’s just this one female cat. She has become dominate over any territory the younger female cat has been in and it’s impacting the peace among all our cats. Addie has no issues with male cats, she has no health issues, and she has no problem using the litter box with any type of litter in it. She eats dry food and does not require wet food. She drinks water regularly. She has no medical concerns (medical records available).

I was scared and I had no where to go. I had my babies alone under a deck :(  Finally someone saw me and my babies and called 2nd Chance, but unfortunately by then I had lost one of my babies :(  Now my 3 other little ones and me are safe in the arms of 2nd Chance. I'm spayed, housetrained, had my shots and am super sweet. I love kids but I am not fond of dogs. I can tolerate cats but would prefer to be an only pet. I am ready for someone to love me FUREVERVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat)   Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5.
