Story
Medusa is a short hair black cat with a cute patch of white on their chest and belly. At 4 years soon, she is very playful and loves to fetch. Her personal favorite toy is a green fluff ball she carries, chases, and smacks the heck out of. She can get along with her litter mate named Athena, but they often get jealous of the other's cuddle spots. Medusa has been around young children, preferring to hide and watch instead of playing. Medusa is almost never misbehaving unless she's hungry. She eats almost only Crave brand cat food with any other making her sick. I am trying to find this sweetheart a home since my elderly grandmother is moving into a care facility and can't take her or her sister. She thanks you for considering!

Story
I adopted Beefy in 2011 from the Humane Society in Orlando, FL. I adopted him when he was around 1 year old, and used to be an outside cat. He came into our home and befriended our female cat very well. 2 years later we adopted 2 dogs and he also adapted easily with them. Then we had children and he also does extremely well with children. Overall he is a very friendly, cuddly cat. He is very demanding with feeding time. My MIL feeds him on the clock, and if she's not home he will definitely try to rouse ANYONE to follow him to the kitchen and feed him. He is very clean, has an old man routine, and seriously chill. He just gets really vocal when its feeding time or when he's looking for company (will walk into rooms meowing, calling for a response)

Mia is a 5 year old rescue kitty. She’s a sweet loving and cuddly girl. She’s super social and loves humans, cats and dogs. Mia is very very friendly and just wants a lap to cuddle on. Mia is spayed and approximately 5. Would do well in any environment. Mia is use to regular grooming, and does well with it. Mia is the perfect kitty for someone who needs a lap cat.

Story
This is a very difficult decision. Scarlett has been my baby for over 13 years. Scarlett is a sweet and quiet 13.5 year old cat. She gets pretty stressed out by our toddler. And while we’ve not tried long-term, she’s never shown any interest or even kindness when it comes to other cats or dogs. She hisses, but is not aggressive. For the past 5 years she has had a vomiting problem. It’s been difficult to ascertain if it’s due to diet, stress, or both. She’s currently doing better on single-protein lamb foods. She’s had tons of blood work done, and everything is fine. We’ve been told she can do some tests that are around $2,000 to see if specific intestinal illness can be determined. Before I got her as a kitten, she was de-clawed. I think this may be what contributes to her litter tracking problem. Scarlett needs a kind, quiet environment. She likes to be a lapcat, but of course on her terms. :)

Story
Gita, who responds to "GiGi" (hard 'g') or "Gooby," is a very sweet 3-yr-old torbie, who LOVES to be around humans. She has a wonderful balance of energy, spending a healthy amount of time between play & sleep. Neither overly needy nor antisocial, she does a great job of showering her owner w/ affection AND being 'hands-off,' whenever she needs her alone time. She has had no medical issues since I got her as a kitten, and has been an absolute breeze to take care of (she gets along great w/ the other cats in our house -- they LOVE to play w/ each other). I adore little GiGi & am so sad to be having to re-home her -- I will be moving out of the country later this year, and won't be able to bring her along with me :( But I know that she's going to make her new owner as happy as she has made me. Lmk if you have any Q's. Thx! P.s. One of GiGi's many adorable quirks: she's not at all skittish or flighty, but she IS very afraid of thunderstorms. Please be sure to comfort her during storms!
