Story
I got scooter, not too long ago for my husband for Father’s Day but to find out that my nine month old daughter is allergic and I’m no longer able to provide for him because we will be moving shortly to another place. I just want to find somebody who loves cats he’s very friendly and cuddly very good with kids other than the fact that she’s allergic. He is house Trained other than the fact that he has scratched my couch a few times he does use the litter box. He is very, very sweet and you can tell that he is young because he’s very energetic and still loves to play.

Story
Mama came to me last June with her 4-1-month old kittens. She is estimated approx. 2 1/2-years old. Mama has made huge strides in her time here. She has learned how to be a house cat instead of a survivor. She loves playtime, both with toys and with my other cats. She is thriving as part of a large pack and with her kitten, Howard, who I still have available. It would be ideal if they were adopted together. Mama needs an experienced, patient adopter, who will allow her time and space to adjust to new surroundings. She is highly treat motivated, and demands treats every time my dog goes potty. Her personality is sweet but she is cautious. She asks for pets and being brushed. She cuddles in for a moment when I hold her, but quickly asks to be put down. She loves cozy blankets and sleeps like a pretzel. Mama is spayed, chipped, up to date on shots, and on flea meds. She is litter box trained and on wet and dry food.

Story
Howard is a year old! He's bigger than his mama who is 2.5 He is thriving as part of a large pack. Howard was taken for neuter, but he has an undescended testicle. His shots are current, he's chipped, and on flea meds. He is equal parts chill and adventurous. He's an intrepid explorer, and loves to play and cuddle with his mama and foster siblings. He can be a bit mischievous and frequently tests his limits, but his big eyes will melt your heart. He loves to play with my big cats, and has been put in his place by my little dog, but he always get back up. He's liter box trained and eats a diet of both wet and dry food. He's HIGHLY treat motivated. He wants all the tube treats. He loves pets and being brushed, and LOVES being carried around like a sack of potatoes (over the shoulder). He hides from scary noises (vacuum, doorbell), but comes back out when the coast is clear. He'll make a grand addition to any home.

Story
Hi,. A Trojan cat showed up eleven weeks ago. Before we knew it, we had six of cute very happy tuxies. Ten weeks this Monday. Litter and food trained. Orca is great mother. She's a kitten herself. Chase them all over the house. Still nursing very little but Orca is pretty much shutting this down. I live in summerville This cat named Piebald and has the best facial markings of the lot. None of the kittens have been outside. Orca stopped going out right after her labor. She moved them into the spare bedroom so let them have it. Please consider this youngster and the rest of the family

Story
We got Dev as a companion to our elder cat, Sophie. They are great companions but Dev has recently been diagnosed as a diabetic. Hes 2.5 years old and is loving to everyone around him. Hes apprehensive at first when meeting new animals but quickly becomes friendly. He’s loud, his purr is like a Sherman tank. I should have named him Sherman now that i think about it. Dev needs care that we are not able to give him. Hes on insulin 2x daily and will bug you for treats constantly. We dont want to give him away but he should be with a family that can give him the best care he can get.

Story
After a lot of time and effort trying to help everyone adjust, I’ve made the difficult decision to rehome Luna. Unfortunately, my dogs have never fully accepted having her in the home, and despite giving them plenty of time to adapt, the situation just hasn’t improved. She is a sweet cat, and this decision has nothing to do with her. I simply want her to have a home where she can feel completely safe, relaxed, and loved. She deserves that, and that’s my priority.
