Story
Comet is an 8 year old sweet boy. We have had him since 8 months old. He is very friendly and a lover to most everyone. After 8 years of trying endlessly to make it work because we love him so much, we realize it just isn't fair to him. Unfortunately, he does not like to share a litter box with our other cats, all a few years older than him. He is very territorial and needs his own space and litter box completely - inaccessible to other animals. When this happens he does great and uses the box just fine, but as soon as one of our other cats uses the box he will not go inside of it until it is cleaned. Other than the Litter box territorial behavior, he interacts with people, cats and dogs just fine! Very friendly, not aggressive at all! I really just think living with 3 other cats, one dog and 4 children is too busy of a home for Comet. I really want to find him a home he can be at ease in and live out the rest of his life in peace.

Story
This little guy came into my life in October 2025 after being abandoned by a neighbor. I took him home the night I met him, he is so sweet and cuddled up on my lap instantly. It was going to freeze that night and I could not leave him outside yowling on their porch. Since then, he has been neutered, gotten all shots and been dewormed. He is very sweet but very energetic, and needs more than what my chronically ill self and my existing anxious cat can provide. He likes to climb (including on shoulders, loves spring and string toys, wants to be involved in everything, and loves to cuddle on his own terms. He needs more space to run around than my 1 bedroom apartment, another cat (maybe a dog?) that actually wants to roughhouse with him, people that are home more than I am (I work overtime most weeks), and maybe some kids who can fulfill his major need for playtime. He originally came from a house with at least four kids so he should be fine with them. Can come with his fav toys.

Story
Not good with small children. Daisy is a loving cat and loves to lay on your lap. She loves attention and talking. She’s all black. She would do best in a home with older kids above the age of 7. Preferable would like her to have other animal siblings but if not that’s okay too. She is territorial with small children. But other kids older than 7 would be best. She loves playing with toys and will come with her food litter box/litter and all of her toys/bed etc.
