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.

Story
Mimi is a former stray who wandered into my life months ago and completely stole my heart. She would make an amazing indoor companion. She is extremely affectionate, very talkative, and loves being involved in whatever you are doing. Mimi adores playtime, pets, and sleeping on top of you every single night. She is soft, athletic, charming, and full of personality. She is constantly making us laugh and always greets us with her funny meows. I would keep her if I could, but she does not get along with my two male cats, and we are a military family moving in April. I am determined to find Mimi a loving forever home where she can be spoiled and cherished. She has so much love to give and will truly brighten the right person’s life.

Story
Boots is a sweet, healthy senior girl who enjoys snuggles and curling up on your lap or next to you. A little shy at first, she will warm up quickly to you. When you hold her sometimes, she curls up, purrs and wants to groom you. Usually relaxed and quiet, her meows are soft and chirpy, increasing in intensity when it’s mealtime. She is food motivated! This 13 year old girl does take thyroid medication with her food. Her parents recently moved into a nursing home and she is looking for a place to spend her senior years, hopefully with her bonded “brother” Charlie, who’s she’s spent all her life with thus far.

Story
Milo wandered into our house when we moved to Abilene, scared but very hungry. After taking him in, he quickly showed us what a sweet, gentle soul he is. Milo is incredibly patient and gets along beautifully with every cat in our home, even the more difficult personalities. He truly loves other animals and is always eager to play, share space, and be part of the group. He is a total gentleman and a big food lover, always excited for meals but never pushy. At night, he happily settles in for cuddles and quiet companionship. Milo’s unique ears are the result of life outdoors before rescue, and they only add to his charm and puppy-like cuteness. He is an absolutely wonderful cat who deserves a loving forever home. He will fit into your house as the perfect funny, charming, and cute guest. Please consider him!

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.
