Story
My neighbor alerted me to this stray kitten that had been hanging around on her porch and had had a litter of kittens some time ago. She thought she was pregnant again, but after a couple of months in rescue she was not. Mandy is very vocal with her expressions when she is hungry or just needs reassurance that someone loves her. She was already tamed and my neighbor was able to just hand her to me. She likes other cats and does well but pretty independent. She is much neater now than she was at first with learning her litter box. She no longer kicks the litter out of the box or lays in it any more. She would make an excellent friend for someone weather they stay home a lot or not. She like being inside in her room or in her big cage.

Story
Rey girl (Star Wars themed name) is 8 years old with no health problems and medical care up-to-date. Her coat is a brown/black classic tabby swirl pattern. She has a very mild temperament and sleeps/lounges most of the day, playful at night. She seeks cuddles/pets morning and evening. Such a sweet one! She can be talkative when she's hungry or when she wants to be picked up. She has no behavioral issues! Recently our (2) male cats have bullied her persistently over the past year despite several interventions attempted to redirect and balance the dynamic. We are also in the process of relocating and facing housing/pet restrictions. She seems like she would do well in a single-cat home - she thrives indoors and also in a garage area. She has previously lived with (1) small dog and there were no issues with their interactions. Although we are sad to say goodbye, our family is hoping to find a loving new home for her.
