Story
Ralph is a 3 year old cat, he likes to nap and chill around the house. Occasionally he like to play loves his tunnel and running and climbing. He does have FLUTD so he has to eat a specific food. I have all of the paperwork for it and can answer any questions. Otherwise hes is healthy and happy! I just work and travel often so I’m looking for someone who is home more so he has company. I think he will adapt best to a calm home he does have anxiety with loud noises but he loves people and very good motivated!!!!

Story
She was abandoned in my neighborhood. It was late winter, early spring when she started appearing on my stoop. She seemed as though she had been abused because she was very skittish around me. I started feeding her to win her confidence. Felt bad that she was out in the cold Without Shelter. So I built her a small shelter for her to at least get out of the weather. Finally I got her confidence up enough to get her into my apt. To see if she would adjust to my boy Auggy (a 2-yr)American domestic short hair tuxedo black & white kitty. Who of course has the shots' neutered. But apparentlyOn my plan did not go through because she Lacey seems not to like him. My apartment was big enough that they somewhat got along. Then I noticed that she started getting fat' signs that she was pregnant. I was going to have her to see by vet. Not knowing how long' She birthed 5 kittens2 died. Found homes for all her kittens. She needs a loving good home. A bit of patience care a good pet.

Story
I adopted Tweak about a year ago. He's a great cat but I had an unexpected relocation come up and unfortunately can't take him with me. He is very skittish at first but once he trusts you he is a very affectionate cat who loves to be around people. I have a two year old daughter who he was also great with. Unfortunately his previous owner gave him to me because he bullied their other cats so he needs to go to a home without cats currently. He is fairly low energy but loves to play with elastics and scraps of paper on the floor. He is house trained, up to date on all shots and neutered. There is a 50 dollar rehoming fee to make sure he goes to a home that can take good care of him.

Story
Lover Boy is a stray cat near my workplace who I quickly fell in love with. He's super friendly and cuddly, loves being held (hence his name) and eating food. Since I had planned on adopting Lover Boy myself, I brought him to the vet to get treated and neutered. Lover Boy is healthy but was diagnosed with FIV/FeLV which spreads to other cats through saliva. Because I already have a cat at home, I cannot keep him with this in mind. FIV/FeLV means that Lover Boy may require a longer amount of time to heal from sickness or wounds. The vet predicts Lover Boy to be 3-5 years old, although he looks much younger due to his small size. I am looking for Lover Boy to go to a home with no other cats, although other animals are ok (FIV/FeLV can ONLY spread to other cats). Lover Boy does very well with people - it's easy to win his friendship with affection and plenty of pets.

Story
This beautiful lady is Matilda Jane. I rescued her off the street in 2019 as a young cat. She is about 5 years old, give or take. We introduced our first born to the family 8 months ago, and while she is very sweet and curious towards him our change of environment has caused her immense anxiety. We had to move into my parents basement, and the lack of windows and space has been very hard on her. She loves to chirp at the birds and will look outside for hours. This factor accompanied with our focus and attention primarily being on our baby has been hard on her, as she requires lots of snuggles and attention. I work in the veterinary field, so I took the precaution of starting her on Prozac before the move and the arrival of our baby but that didnt help her. Matilda would be happiest in a home with windows, and parents who have the time to give her tons of love and affection. She may take a little while to feel comfortable with new people, but she is a great companion.

Story
Tiger is a lovely cat, but can be stand offish. She does not bite or scratch, simply runs away when things get too loud or busy. She likes to lick toes and chew on grass. She is afraid to go outside, so no worries about an escape artist. My mother had this cat for three years and recently moved into a home and gave her to us. We have three children, two cats and a dog already. The house and schedule is very busy and tiger has had a hard time adjusting to our busy home. She gets along with our cats and dog but I do feel she would be more relaxed and have a better life in a quieter home with a more relaxed atmosphere.

Has 28 claws. Adopted from shelter in 2017. Don't know the exact age, but pretty sure she's adult. She's very timid as we have other 2 larger cats. But she can be very close to people when she's the only cat at home.
