Story
We rescued Pickles and his sister (Sprinkles) last May, after they were dumped on a rural county road. Pickles is a big personality and a hit with the neighborhood kids, but has caused some issues with our neighbors that do not care for cats. Unfortunately, we had an incident recently where Pickles nipped a neighbor. Pickles is a year and a half neutered male, good with kids, good with other pets, and very friendly. Our cats stay in the garage and outdoors during the day, but I am unable to make them indoor cats due to allergies in the family. We have tried for several months to resolve the issues that Pickles has caused with our neighbors, but now the best course is to find him a new loving home. Any help would be appreciated!

Story
Hi. With a heavy heart I am looking to rehome Crash. I adopted him at an Austin animal shelter in 2012. He was a good cat for the majority of his life until recently. I divorced my wife a couple of years ago and currently take care of our 3 and 8 year old boys 50% of the time. I’m always really really busy and can’t give him very much attention besides just feeding him and cleaning the litter box. I’m looking for the new home to be loving and nurturing. He loves to play with toys and run around the house. He also loves to have his fur brushed. Adjectives to describe him would be playful, sleepy, and loving (minus small children). He doesn’t seem to care for small children (he just steers clear), but he’s not mean and has never harmed children or adults. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

DEXTER THE CAT NEEDS A NEW HOME. CAN YOU HELP? Dexter is a calm sweet cat who loves to play. He is great at catching greenies in mid-air, and loves to stand up on his back legs to lick the spoon when you are dishing out cat food. A talkative cat, he understands basic English, especially his name, and loves to be groomed. With a clink of a spoon on a cat food bowl he will come running. He is 12 years old, healthy, and up to date with his vaccinations. Please email to enquire: xxxx@xxxx.x

Story
Teddy was born sometime in December of 2015. He is very vocal and bossy, usually when asking for something he wants (often pets). His favorite things are food, attention, and catnip in that order lol. He is a fairly picky eater at times, but will always eat wet food. He much prefers his water fountain, but will drink out of bowl if need be. He was an outdoor cat most of his life, made the transition to indoor cat life and loves it. He had fleas for a few years and because of this he now has a twitch that happens in his lower back by his tail. He is okay and flea-free now, but that is a spot to avoid when petting him. He has itchy ears and chin that he loves getting scratched though. Overall, he is a very loving cat almost always willing to cuddle and eager to sleep + watch tv in bed with you at night. He is super food motivated and a perfect fit for someone looking to spoil a big softie!

Story
This is Riley. She is a two year old sweetheart who loves playing, snuggling, and spending time with people. I adopted her from a humane society two years ago when she was only a few months old. She is such a sweet girl and a great house cat. She will need a home where she spends a lot of time with people. She loves her toys, especially feather wands, mylar crinkle balls, her water fountain, and scratching posts. She loves watching from windows and loved spending time on our balcony. She loves to take naps, especially with people and prefers sleeping in the bed with you. She is very friendly and cuddly when she is comfortable.

Story
Stormy (neutered male) and Tinsel (spayed female) are litter mates. They were born 7/6/2022 so are not quite 2 years old. We were so excited to have kitties and got them from a family with kittens by an unknown male. Stormy is either super chill or super playful and has been termed a “dog-cat” because he’s talkative, engaging, loves everyone, and sleeps in hilarious positions. Tinsel is more timid but loves to get on the furniture to be near you and will jump into the chair next to you or behind your back to be with you. She’s quieter but still shows affection. They’re playful together, snuggle to sleep together, and groom each other. Stormy is dominant among them. Tinsel’s personality is stronger when he’s elsewhere in the house. They’d love to be outdoor cats and were briefly. We’ve kept them inside to limit critters due to immune conditions but can no longer even take the risk with indoor kitties. They’re so ready to be loved by another person, couple, or family.

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.

Mittens is a 2 year old female grey with a hint of orange short haired American tabby cat. She has always been an indoor cat and has lived with big dogs and children and has always had her trusted little brother Ash by her side to play with. She is very well socialized as a result. She loves to be near all the family, lounging in the sunlight, playing with crinkly toys and balls. She is a great cuddler, will jump up next to you on the couch, is happy to be brushed and have her nails clipped. She has not had any health issues.

Hello, I adopted Jazzy off this app a little over four years ago. She is literally the sweetest cat there is and only wants be in your company. She is a little shy at first but comes out of her shell fairly quickly. She never scratches anything nor makes any messes. She just wants to lay beside you and be in your presence. Shes your best friend. I just started a new job and don’t have the time for her that she deserves anymore. I love her so much and I just want her to find a loving home where she won’t be spend a lot of time alone. ❤️ she also has her own litter box and food and water bowl

Story
I found this super sweet, very healthy cat living on the street. She loves people! But she doesn't like cats. The vet believes she's about 3 years old now, but she wants to play all the time... when she's not sitting on your lap. It would probably be best if she had a home that could give her a lot of attention.
