Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Edjy was an outdoor stray who was missing his left eye and was heavily scarred. We brought him inside, got him surgery for his eye, got him vaccinated, and he's been a very loving lap cat since. We've been working on his food insecurity as he tends to gobble down food quickly. However, one of our cats is very territorial and keeps attempting to start fights, and Edjy doesn't back down. He doesn't start fights with the other cats, but he is the newcomer, and we have to be fair to everyone. He's good with having his claws trimmed and hasn't scratched or bitten outside of rough play. He does hiss at loud sounds and is a little skittish.

Details
Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Her name is Olive, shes about 2 1/2 years old. We rescued her from the shelter almost a year ago. Shelter claimed she was an owner surrender and came from a traumatic incident. She is good with other cats but dont know about dogs. We have a loud/active home and it doesnt work well for her. Shes dislikes children and hides all day, she will sometimes come out during the day but 95% of the time its only during night time. She needs more of a chill/quiet/adult home. She is affectionate in her own way and when she wants affection. She is calm and chill when it is only one person at home. She seeks cuddles and pets when she wants them and will let you know when she doesn’t want attention.
