Story
We found Emmie in a drainage ditch and took her in as a kitten. She is approximately 8 years old. We are looking for someone who does not have any other animals or children in their home as this is the most adequate living situation for her. We have 2 children under the age of two and we find she is extremely stressed with small kids. We have two dogs that she has grown up with and does well around but new dogs she doesn’t do well around. She could potentially open up to a dog in the home with time. She would do well in home with someone who is an experienced cat person.

Story
They are two sisters. One is a tortoiseshell and the other is a silvery gray (blue?) cat. They are young, probably 6 months old by now. They’re super sweet, affectionate, great with young children, and like to play but keep busy together. It’s just not a good fit for us in our lives at the moment, we have a toddler and very busy lives that pets at home just doesn’t suit us right now. I really just wanna see them get in the right happy home together. We will provide everything we have to you as well if you want it (like their food, treats, litter etc)

Story
Patrick Mahomes (named by the shelter before they figured out she was a she) is a sweet and timid cat. She currently lives in a loud home with another cat that is far more confident, and it's made Patrick very shy and skittish as she did not adjust well. When it's very quiet and the other cat is not around, she loves to pet and snuggle, but it's not often. Patrick is very uncomfortable in a stressful environment, and I believe she would be much happier in a single-cat home.

Story
14 year old brown tabby that was adopted from the Williamson County Animal Shelter. She is an easy going cat who highly prefers a quiet and calm environment without any additional pets (dogs or cats) or young children. She is shy at first and usually takes her time to adjust to her new home, but will sit with you and lay in bed with you once she feels at home. She is a low key cat who doesn't need a lot of attention, but just a few pets and some time together in your presence to feel comfortable. Would also be best with owners who worked remotely.

Faith is a sweet and independent cat who is looking for a home where she can truly thrive. While she enjoys affection, she prefers to bond with one person at a time and likes attention on her own terms. Faith would do best in a pet-free home where she can be the center of attention and enjoy her own space. She’s healthy, loves lounging in her warm cozy cat beds, and adores sitting in windows. If you’re looking for a soft, calm, and loving companion, Faith might be the perfect fit for you.

Story
Unfortunately I can’t keep my precious Havi as its become impossible to introduce to him to not only my cat of 4 years but mg schedule has changed to two jobs. I received him from another owner in my complex as they found him on the street and took him in for a brief moment. They wanted to kick him outside again so I took the necessary actions and took him in. Not only did I want another friend for my cat but wanted him to avoid being put outside again When I received Havi, he has been completely neutered from someone else but I took him in for his necessary shots as well as a chip. He is the sweetest. He needs plenty of attention and love, cuddles, and play time, i believe hes never received a lot of love as he drools when hes petted and cuddled with this has been a difficult decision for me but i just want him to be happy

Story
I had recently moved out of my daughters home after a 6 year stay with her due to relocating to Texas. She had just acquired two sweet kitties herself and I thought the company of a cat would be a nice addition to my new home. I re homed Miss Zoe just over a year ago. She had been living in a large house with her brother cat and four humans. I took just Zoe, as I live in a small apartment and didnt really want two cats. She adjusted to her new home in under a month but she was always very clingy when I was home. It took me a bit, but I soon realized she probably missed having humans around all day ( first family had stay-at-home mom and young child), plus the added bonus of her littermate brother for company. Suffice to say, she is just one lonely cat. I think if she had another cat or human around her more, she would be much happier. She is an absolute sweetheart and I feel she would be better served with someone who can give her the attention she craves. Please consider adopting.

Story
This beautiful adult cat has brought so much joy and comfort to our life. The only reason we are trying to rehome her is because of severe allergic reactions developed in our kid. Despite being an adult, Puma has a playful and curious spirit, always exploring and investigating her surroundings. Her soft fur and gentle purrs are incredibly soothing, making her the perfect companion for relaxation. She is low-maintenance, easy to care for, and will adapt seamlessly to her new environment. If yo are considering adopting an adult cat, I highly recommend giving Puma a chance. She will bring love, comfort, and companionship into your life.

Story
Gentle, Resilient, Sweetheart Neighbor Tommy is on the mend from a shoulder injury he suffered while living outside. Our vets took a look and decided the best thing for this boy would be to rest up and heal. So that’s exactly what he’ll do! While Tommy is taking it easy he’s receiving lots of love, and loving every minute of it. The moment you offer a few gentle pets, he lights up with a steady purr and leans in to get closer to you. He gets up and moves around when he feels like it, but for now, he's mainly resting, and soaking up love. In a few weeks our vets will take another look at him to assess his care. Once he’s all healed up, he may have a bit of a swagger in his step, but he’s expected to feel great and enjoy life like any other cat—zoomies, sunbathing, and all. Tommy is on the mend and ready for a future full of love. Come meet this little guy! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
