Story
Nancy was adopted in early 2015 when my daughter lived in Hawaii. While living there, she became aware of the feral cat population in the area and did her best to find loving homes for many kitties. She fell in love with all of them and brought them with her to her husband's next duty station state-side. When our daughter's marriage unfortunately ended, she and our grandson came to live with us in Nashville for the next 3 years. We already had 3 cats & a dog in addition to our daughter's cats so we ended up with quite a house full of animals. Due to medical problems, our daughter was not able to take her cats with her when she got a place of her own and it became too much for my husband and I to handle. We have found a good home for two of the cats and still need a loving home for Nancy as well as for Daisy. We love both these cats dearly and and desire to place them with people who will love and care for them. Please help us find a loving home for our cats.

Story
Imagine a world where Mila, the cherished six-year-old feline who has graced your home since her earliest days, continues to live in harmony with your family. This indoor-only cat, who once shared an inseparable bond with a fellow feline companion, has faced a heart-wrenching year of change when her best friend sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. Her recent assertiveness with the other household cat and the young ones in the home is just her unique way of seeking attention and affection as she adjusts to her new normal. It's natural for her to seek a new balance after such a loss. Now, it's our turn to extend empathy and understanding as she navigates her emotions. Mila needs time with a loving family to gently guide her back to her affectionate self, ensuring she feels safe and loved in a new home. It's a journey worth taking with Mila, who deserves to find her way back to happiness again.

Story
UPDATE: Dozer needs a totally secure outdoor home that has heating and air where he can go in during the winters and summers. He is very friendly. . He may or may not be a mouser. Due to unresolved and occasional bouts with diarrhea, he would not be accepted in most homes. Please help!! I will work out something with you.....................🐾♦🐈‍⬛♦This wiggly, lovey boy is almost impossible to photograph. "Dozer" is just a little over 2 years old and needs a home 🐾♦🐈‍⬛♦ . He is completely vetted, microchipped and is such a little love booger. He does have digestive issues and needs a special diet. If you can take him, this would greatly help our rescue. He was taken from a real bad case and apparently it did something to his digestive tract. A person who is patient will love him regardless. I sure hope this person is YOU.

Story
My name is "Callie". I am fiercely independent and found myself homeless and with kittens, even though I was a kitten myself! The nerve of people to not have spayed me! I ended up at a shelter, but they needed help when my milk dried up and the kittens were not gaining any weight at all. Lingering was the fear of "failure to thrive" for them all. Dove Road Sanctuary and Safe Haven stepped up for us all, and we are glad they did. Any cat is good with a dog that knows its limits, but I love to play with them and swat their nose so they know I am the queen of the castle. I play hide and seek with them too. I love to be pet when I want to be pet and love other cats to play with. My adoption fee includes vetting and our rescue's full microchip service.

I found my pet while out delivering food in august of 23. I’ve taken care of her since then but I’m moving from the area and it has been a difficult time finding somewhere to accommodate pets. I would like to foster and keep in touch until I can reunite with my cat again.
