Story
Henry's Mom showed up on my porch one day with him in tow. He was only about 3 weeks old. I tried to bring them both in but Mama was not happy, I kept Henry inside and brought her in to nurse for a few weeks till he could be weaned. I have several older cats and have been told by the landlord I must rehome all the younger ones, (I have 6) or I will be evicted. Henry and the others deserve a permanent, safe, loving home. He is litter trained, very sweet, very rambunctious, and adorable.

Story
I found Jimmy outside of my apartment. He does so well with other cats, always wants to cuddle, is very playful and full of life, but sadly due to my living situation I am unable to keep him. I would love him to go to a home where he can have lots of love and playtime!

Story
Tuxie is a tuxedo cat with a short, deformed tail that we found as a stray. He's very skittish around people, but has already formed a strong attachment to my fiancé and I. Constantly wants to be held, will jump up in our lap for head butts and cuddles. The problem is, we can't provide what he needs as we are moving very soon, but he's so scared of other people we dont know what to do with him. He's about a year old and needs flea treatment. (ive tried a flea shampoo to no avail, probably didnt do it right). Not aggressive just very scared of everything and everyone. He would make the sweetest cuddly little pet in a calm environment. He uses a litter box, seems to prefer to be indoors rather than out despite being a stray, knows his name already and responds to "wanna eat?". sometimes quite vocal and seems to "answer" you when you speak to him. Does not like to be alone. I believe he's had some trauma in his past, maybe abandoned previously.

Story
Mason is a mostly chill kitty who enjoys nap time and watching birds through the window. But he loves to play with string or toys that get him to jump. He is 9 years old. He would do well in a single pet household, but he might warm up to another cat over time.
