Story
Little Kitty is an amazing cat. She is very active, loves to play, and will occasionally have the zoomies. She’s shy at first, but is so affectionate and loving when she warms up to you. She loves cuddles and will want to lay in your lap, lounge with you on the couch, or lay on you in the bed. She loves wet food! She is also a great exterminator, and will go for any pest that could be in your house.

Story
Tiny Cat. Big Chaos. Meet Lil Bit. Don’t let the petite tortie princess looks fool you… Lil Bit is basically a parkour athlete in a nugget-sized body At just ~10 months old, this spayed, fully vaccinated queen is: - A professional zoomie specialist - A toy assassin -Occasionally… a tripping hazard with whiskers Lil Bit LOVES to play—like, really loves to play—so she’s looking for a home that can keep up with her WWE-level energy. Because of her enthusiastic (spicy) play style, we don’t recommend a home with small kids. The good news? With proper introductions and a little patience, we think she could vibe with other cats or even dogs! Ideal home: Active humans, good reflexes, and a sense of humor Bonus points if you enjoy being randomly ambushed by cuteness Ready to adopt this tiny tornado? Head to our website and fill out an application to meet Lil Bit! Trust us… your life will never be boring again

Story
We saved Lucy as an abandoned runt when she was a baby. She was bottle fed and got along with our little dogs. She is aloof and curious, not very snuggly, but can be sweet at times. She moved into our new home with us and has been out for almost 7 years now. When my wife got pregnant she started to attack her feet in a non-playful way. She didn’t much care about the baby but now that my daughter is a toddler she has also begun attacking her a bit. She is mostly sweet and wants affection but doesn’t seem to be a lap cat. She has become less comfortable as our toddler has grown and can reach and interact with her more. She has also attacked my wife more than normal recently. I think ideally she’d like an indoor outdoor space with no kids, maybe some new places to explore. It breaks my heart to send her away but I can’t let her attack my wife and daughter anymore. We have her tree and litter box and an automatic feeder that would go with her, along with food, toys and her vet records.

Story
I first met Buddy during the winter months of an intense ice storm. He came to me meowing before curling in my lap and falling asleep - a routine I would learn he loves to do often. I live in a high traffic area, in which cars don't always follow the speed limit and won't slow down upon seeing him. I have been able to keep him safe but this has prevented me from leaving my own house because he likes to lay behind my car or in my driveway, in which it's hard to see him at night after work and I risk hitting him. Buddy will play with normal cat toys such as wands and mice and loves to knead in someone's lap before falling asleep. He is a sleek, allergy healthy cat who doesn't shed a lot and keeps himself well groomed. In addition to all of this, he stays on our porch and as much as we love him we simply cannot care for him anymore. With prices rising, trying to feed my cats inside and him is becoming hard to manage. I strongly hope to find him a home and look forward to seeing him happy.

Story
Hello! I am Re-Homing my Cat Kashi She is a 1 y/o domestic shorthair tabby, loves to play. Very affectionate. I will say she is not fit for a household with small children. She will not under any circumstances be picked up, she doesn’t like it. She isn’t aggressive by any means but she does playfully bite when petting her occasionally. She’s definitely an indoor cat, I have tried getting her to go outside with me but she refuses to leave the porch, which is a plus if you like to leave the door open. She will not run away. I have brought her around other cats and a dogs one time to see how she reacted and she responds well. It was too short of a time to really tell how she would do but I would say long term she would likely do well with other animals. I can’t forget to mention she is very cute. All shots are up to date, spayed, no known health issues. I love her to death but unfortunately I do not have the time to give her the attention she deserves. Free adoption to a loving home
