Story
Kevin is a beautiful Tabby-Tortie mix. She can be very playful when she feels like it, but mostly enjoys being curled up on your lap or favorite chair - or maybe a box that's been left lying around. A very loving cat, she enjoys enrichment and lots of petting, but other times will spar with you if you try to pet her - sometimes she'll exhibit both behaviors at the same time so I think she would do better in a mature home. She has been an indoor/outdoor cat for the 10 years we have had her. I think she would transition fine to home that did not want to let her outside though because in the winter time she hardly goes out at all and is very content to look out the window. She does claw the furniture a bit. While she's not overly destructive, and also uses the scratch pads we have for her, she will jump on the furniture to claw or use it for a good stretch so she needs to be in a home that is not bothered by that. We are very sad to be looking to re-home her but we cannot keep her.

Story
This is Luna. She was born back on June 5th, 2022, and gifted to me by a friend. I’m looking to rehome Luna because she doesn’t like kids, and I cannot longer afford her anymore because I am a new mom. She has a murmur level 3 so needs loves of love and no stress. I rather rehome her with a family without kids. Luna is very shy, calm and loving.

Story
Gracie is 1 of 2 bonded cats that need a forever home. Pixie (pictured) is her sister. We want them to stay together. We’ve been caring for & socializing a litter, & our rehoming timeline is shorter because our landlord is selling our house. They’re a year old. They’re both spayed & current with their shots as of October 2024. They are not chipped. Before June 2024 they lived outside; they’re not overly cuddly cats. They are sweet, just wary of new people at first. They both can be pet, Pixie can be picked up. Gracie is a little acrobat that loves to sit by open windows. They both love a good laser pointer. They coexist with cats very well, & I think they’d cohabitate well with dogs with a medium level energy. An ideal home for them has space & sunlight for them. We are looking for people that will have patience; their unique personalities will emerge as they settle.
