Story
Juniper was taken as a kitten by a person who had a grown cat that seemingly did not like other cats. Unfortunately, after trying a year plus, her cat would not be nice or even co-exist with Juniper so he was put in a bedroom most of the time by himself. I was afraid he might never be friendly to people or other animals but especially to other cats since he was only around the hostile one. He has surprised me and is now around my 3 cats and 3 dogs without a problem. He is leary of the dogs and cats but does not hiss or go after them and he plays with my female cat Tinkerbell. He loves attention and purrs and likes toys. He is learning to use my cat door. He is 1.5 years old and has been fixed and has all his shots. I would suggest he join a family with a cat or dog that is docile and friendly. I wouldn't want to put him back in the same situation he was in before. Please give me a call to arrange a visit. He rides Well in a cat carrier in the car.

Story
Aria is Queen B of the house. She has plenty of tortietude but also affection. She loves to cuddle in your lap or lay by your side. And if you aren’t paying attention she will get your attention with a lick to your nose. After a stressful year with lots of things changing in her life, Aria has become aggressive towards her two other cat brothers. She needs a home that can shower her with affection and she can be the only cat. She loves head and chin scratches and will gladly return the favor by rubbing on you and head butting you. She is also a bit of a weirdo. She will puff up her tail when she gets excited, never aggressively.

Story
Toby is approximately 6 months old, but his exact age is unknown as he was found in a bush around 4 weeks old. He is super sweet and cuddly! He is very timid and affectionate, and does not meow or scream when my 6 year old little brother tries to “manhandle” him or accidentally steps on his tail. I absolutely love him but unfortunately, with the circumstances of my job and apartment location, I am unable to keep him. You will absolutely love him and he is the sweetest! Adoption fee negotiable!

Story
She is an elderly cat over ten years old who likes to talk to you and plays with toys often still. She is a yapper and would like to stay in your room just for the company. Ideally, she is with someone that can keep her company and enjoys having a cat following them around the house. She is house trained and will use scratch posts when provided. Currently, I cannot support her along with my landlord not approving the cat. I am also happy to supply a litter box, scratching post, food + automated feeder, and some litter for you for FREE to begin your cat journey! Adoption fee is ZERO. Landlord needs her out immediately.

Just about a year old, has experience around young kids, and will typically just stay away. Slightly skittish, but very loving. Trills a lot, but that might be from the fact he isn’t fixed. All around, a good cat. Litter box trained with all kinds of litter, so no matter what litter you use, it won’t be a problem.

Pen is an amazingly sweet overweight pampered princess of a cat who loves to demand attention, and cuddels. She has the most adorable wobble as she walks, and will deffinatly let you know when the food bowl is empty with a very sweet meow. While she is not great with kids, she tends more to ignoring their general existence, however would be a great companion for an older more calm child. Penumbra is not fond of dogs however she leaves them alone as long as they leave her alone, with an occasional hiss.

Story
Meet Bartleby, a black cat with major main character energy and a potbelly he proudly flaunts. He sits like a little old man—hunched over, deep in thought (probably about snacks or world domination). Bartleby is endlessly curious and always plotting his next great “outdoor expedition.” One time, he sat staring through closed blinds for ten full minutes, absolutely convinced he could will them open with sheer stubbornness. He’s mischievous but sweet—an expert snuggler who insists on climbing right up under your chin, and he’ll throw in a nose-to-nose boop if he’s feeling extra cute. He also loves his fancy water fountain, though he’ll never turn down a good old-fashioned sip from the tap. I’m looking to rehome Bartleby due to some life changes—family allergies and plans to travel—but this hilarious little shadow deserves a home where he’ll get all the laughs, love, and attention he gives in return. 💝
