Story
We adopted Nash in 2015 and have loved having this little guy in our lives. He is very sweet, and cuddly and loved to come around you, especially at the end of the day. Unfortunately, after having 2 young kids, we are forced to make the choice to rehome him due to him being stressed out all the time from the kids. He spends the entire day hiding and is just scared of our kids and we want him to be able to be in a home that fits better with him. He would do best with a single person with no other pets, elder couple without kids, or something like it where he can be the only pet and no kids around in a mostly quiet household (the opposite of our current situation). We are heartbroken to have to do this but feel confident this will be the best solution for him.

Story
my baby Enzo needs a new home since my i can’t keep him anymore due to moving away. i have had him a for a year and he is a very sweet boy, very clingy and cuddly, and extremely playful. hes 2 years old, has had all his shots and is neutered. he’s mainly an indoors cat but loves to go outside from time to time (and will always come back home if he does wonder off). he has a collar with an apple tracker though that might help if you worry about that. he’s also very clean, doesn’t have any litter problems. he has everything like his bed, litter, food bowls/food matt, toys, and even a cat stroller that i can offer you along with him. i want to find a loving home for him and if there’s someone whos willing to give occasional updates to me about how he’s doing, i feel that would be best for him.

Hi There! Let me introduce you to our Fabulous Foursome! Winkin, Blinkin, Tabby, and Tux! These 4 brothers have been in a loving foster home since being rescued from under a backyard shed. Each has their very own lovely personality and every bit of kitten playfulness they should be! They were born on April 1st so are now about 3 months old. They’re ready for their forever homes and will continue to receive vetting support and neuter through East CAN even once in new places. Winkin (one of the twins! Gray and white and curious) is a very friendly curious babe who likes a nuzzle and is quick to purr. Tabby (he’s the Tabby… ha!) is an outgoing and playful little boy who loves to explore. Blinkin (gray and white like his twin brother but with the addition of a sweet gray beard) like Tabby is playful and outgoing - kind of the Ying to his twin brother Winkin’s Yang! Tux (in his regal black tuxedo) is a true snuggle bunny. He’s the last to the food bowl and the first to his nap. He likes to sneak away under the couch for some quiet time away from his brothers. They’re all absolutely precious and ready for their forever families! If you are interested in meeting any of these babies please email info@eastcan.org and someone will get back with you ASAP to set something up.
