Johoney is a loveable and sweet boy. He has sad eyes but is the happiest little boy and he will snuggle and want pets as much as possible. He enjoys talking and will nap all day if you let him. He was rescued from a hoarding situation and we don't have the ability to give him the home he deserves.

Story
We got Gil as a kitten from a friend. He’s been with us for 2 1/2 years. Gil is a sweet, spunky cat. He loves to play…sometimes fetch! When in the mood, he enjoys a cozy nap on your lap. Occasionally he’ll sleep through the night in bed with you. Gil enjoys going outside and sticking close to home. Mostly he just likes to watch the world around him and sometimes try to catch something, which he rarely does. We have another cat. Gil is definitely the boss. But they get along with the occasional cat scuffle. Unfortunately, Gil is a bit territorial and for some reason has taken a dislike to one of our daughters. When she visits, he’s unkind. We’ve tried all sorts of things and he’s made up his mind. So, we can’t keep him. We think he’d do great in a different home. He’s truly a sweet cat and we’d love to see him in a home that can handle him.

Story
Meet Cat Burglar, the sweetest little sneaky boy you’ll ever love. He’s currently an indoor–outdoor cat who uses a dog door and sticks close to home, but he’d be perfectly happy living fully indoors—he’s litter-box trained and loves the cozy life. He’s not a fan of being picked up, but the second you sit down he becomes a total snuggle bug and will curl right into your lap. He gets along wonderfully with dogs (he even plays with them!), though we aren’t sure how he does with other cats. He’d do best with older kids who understand gentle boundaries. He has a grade-2 heart murmur that doesn’t affect his health, and he’s fully up to date on shots, deworming, and flea/tick prevention. We love him deeply and making this decision is absolutely heartbreaking, but our daughter’s cat allergies have become severe, and we want to do what’s best for both her and him. He deserves a safe, loving home where he can keep being the affectionate little companion he is

Story
Hey there! Needing to rehome this sweet tortoiseshell cat named Nami! She is a senior cat but still a kitten at heart! My family adopted her from Petsmart as a kitten 13 years ago, and I have personally cared for her and our other cat for the past 5 years. However, due to financial circumstances I have had to move back in with my Dad and his dog hates cats. I have since rehomed my cats with an extended family member. Unfortunately, Nami has not adapted well to the new living situation and has been very territorial with the other cat. Ideally I would like to find her a single pet household where she can get all the attention to herself. Her favorite game is fetch with a rubber band and she loves to have her fur brushed. She is still very playful for her age but she will likely be shy for the first week or two. I think she would do well with children as long as they are gentle and would tolerate a calmer natured dog. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, thank you!

Story
We found Bobo wandering around our small, quiet apartment complex one night. He was so friendly and it was very apparent that he used to being indoors and around friendly people. We think that someone dropped him here since flyers were posted and emails were sent out without him being claimed. Age: unknown, likely young adult based on his energy and his teeth Fixed? He appears to be neutered, although this has not been confirmed by a vet. Litter box and house trained? Yes! Playful? Yes, he loves to play with wands, in tunnels, and with other cats. He also gets along with dogs and even bunnies. Color: Mostly black with a little patch of white on his front chest area as well as a little bit on his stomach. His shining qualities include his loving demeanor, his friendliness, and his nonchalance. He loves to get as much attention as you will give him and he also lets you pick him up and do basically whatever as he becomes a noodle in your arms. He is the perfect quirky, cuddly boy!
