Story
Theodore (Ted) was my exs cat that I agreed to hold onto while my ex found a place to live after we broke up in 2024, however my ex never got back to me about Ted until 4 months later saying he could not take Ted and effectively abandoned Ted to me. Ted is a very quiet cat, he is not the most cuddly but has a big personality. He loves his pumpkin and mouse toy, loves cardboard scratchers, and staring into the void from time to time. He recently had a medical concern with throwing up, but was switched to a hairball control food and has not had any issues since. Ted is bonded to Jade, his 2 year old companion that was also my exs cat. Both cats are very sweet and loving, they ask for pets and ear scratches, and to have cat tv turned on when the birds and squirrels are not out. Ted will not cuddle with you on the couch, but he will lay near you and accept pets. He does not enjoy being picked up for held, but wants belly rubs and butt scratches.

Story
Jade was given to my ex by his neighbor after they adopted a dog and it went after Jade. Jade has bonded with Ted since being with him for most of her life, she is not suitable for a house with dogs due to her past experience. Jade is a shy cat who really has come out of her shell, she loves bird watching and is a avid bug hunter. She squeaks more than she meows, and purrs so loud all the time. Jade does not enjoy being picked up nor having her ears scratches, Jade prefers her butt scratches, and some occasional chin or ear scratches if she is in the mood for it. I would like to keep Jade, however given her bond with Ted and my financial situation being less than ideal for two cats, Jade will be rehomed with Ted. Both cats love to wrestle with each other, groom each other, and nap together. Jade is 2 years old. Jade favorite past times include, chewing on cardboard, chewing on plastic and napping in her hammock. Jade does not like being held or cuddled unless its on her terms.

Hi! This is Whompo, a five year old lovey tuxedo! He loves to cuddle and is full of personality. I am rehoming him because he does not get along well with my senior cat. I believe he would be best suited in a home where he is the only cat. He does just fine with dogs and kids! He has so much love to give that I think he’d be perfect for almost any home c:

Story
Socks is an amazing kitty! She very relaxed, laid back and loves some catnip spray to wake her up at times. She loves playing outside in a safe environment( flower beds) where she can come inside again if she needs to. But she is very much an indoor kitty first and foremost. She has been indoors all her life, and truly is not aware of the dangers of stray dogs. She loves to sit on you if you are on the sofa, she is very cuddly. We are working on helping her lose some weight as her greatest love is to eat. She really needs more affection and attention that we are no longer able to give her like she needs. My main priority is for someone to love and spoil her like their best baby. She has been treated like a princess with us and we want someone that will adore her.

Story
Max is my brother’s cat who is in the military and can’t take him back anymore, i am moving soon overseas for graduate school and don’t have anyone taking care of him unfortunately. He is good with cats and dogs if introduced slowly. he’s about 12 pounds and 2 years old, healthy and looooves food. He’s very low maintenance and just sleeps when he’s fed, likes to play too when someone initiates playing with him. Very friendly and would come up to you and adjust well to new homes
