Story
Nova is very sweet and loving. She is very playful and will play with toys or a laser. She can also be lazy and just want to sleep on the couch or in a cat tree. She loves attention and will sometimes meow with you. She gets along great with other cats and dogs( sometimes she thinks she’s a dog). She has a full blood sister named Nala and we would love for them to be adopted together but not required. She does not take medication or does not have any special needs. She eats purina dry food. She will eat wet food as well but is fine without it. Available as of 4/24

Story
We adopted Iris a little over 8 months ago. She is the sweetest and most affectionate cat however we have dogs (who are very familiar with cats as we have another cat) and she is so scared of them and hasn’t adjusted. She never leaves her hiding spot in her room and we just feel that we cannot provide her the quality of life she deserves. I have had my dogs years and years so unfortunately rehoming her is the best option for her. I think she would absolutely thrive in a home with no dogs. The only time she has really come out of her shell was when my dogs were at a sitter. I don’t take this decision lightly so anyone interested in adopting her we’d like to get to know and visit where she would be living.

Story
Family member brought a cat into our home that was not neutered and tagged multiple of our female cats. Tiger, as sweet as he is, is apart of that chain reaction and we now are over baren with a few cats we cannot handle/afford. Tiger is only a couple months old and even after getting fixed has still remained loveable and agile. He loves to play and would love to get to know other animals, and play with new toys. Giving him a new home would not only be giving him the love and care he needs, but would also help us out immensely in being able to give our other animals the love and care they need.

These pups are in Knoxville, Tennessee too!

Fritz is a very sweet and loving boy. He will make a fantastic companion. He is FIV+ but that is just a label. We know they can live just as long as non FIV cats. He, I fortunately ,doesn't like other cats . He wants all the attention for himself. If you give this sweet boy a chance you will not be disappointed.April 29, 2024, 7:49 am

This beautiful girl is Sapphire! She is about 6 months old and a bundle of love! She likes to be around her family and would do great in an apartment or house. She has become a good bed buddy and will snuggle next to you or on the pillow beside you! She likes cardboard scratchers and scratching posts. Her absolute favorite toy is a catnip mouse that she would like to bring with her to her new home. She also likes string wands. She has great litter box manners.April 29, 2024, 7:49 am
