Story
He was originally a feral cat who lived behind our house in a wooded area. We fed him, got him neutered and shots. He then went to live with my mom for a year as an indoor cat only. Because she had health issues, we have him back now, but cannot keep because of our other cat. Not a good mix. He is very active, playful, catches bottle caps, not afraid of humans and will snuggle sometimes. Though smaller in size than most adult cats, he has a very healthy appetite. Excellent mouser, in the shot time he's live with us, he's already caught and killed two mice. Sweet feline and would be a great addition to your home.

Story
Ham is genuinely one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met. My ex partner and I adopted him from the Denton County shelter when he was only an 8 week old tiny bean, and due to things outside my control he’s been with just me ever since. I have one other cat currently and they get along very well, but my life is too busy for keeping up with two cats. I only had more than one because of my partner at the time, and now that I am the sole caregiver I cannot give proper care to both of my sweet fur babies with my lifestyle and schedule any time soon. Ham had a scary fall a few years ago, had proper checkups at the emergency vet and was cleared of any issues, but ever since has been an anxious little guy. He shows this by talking and being kinda clingy, but has no other issues of any kind, dietary or otherwise. Hamilton is such a sweet boy and it breaks my heart to rehome him, but it breaks my heart even more knowing I don’t have the spoons or time to care for & play with him properly.

Story
hi everyone, meet birdie! I adopted my sweet birdie about 2 years ago, and she’s been an absolute joy! She’s the sweetest, most low maintenance lady. She loves bird watching, head scratches and late night cuddles:) Birdie will probably need an experienced adopter (or at least someone who’s had cats before). She can be a little picky about the way she’s pet and picked up. She’s never aggressive! just has some sensitive areas. reason for re-homing: Unfortunately, she stopped getting along with our other cats several months ago. We’ve tried to re-introduce them, but have found that she’s happiest by herself. because of this, I can no longer provide the best home for her. There is no adoption fee, and i’ll send her off with all of her favorite toys, food, and litter.

Story
My baby, Diana, came in to my life when she was 8 weeks old. I raised her as an only cat because I was in college at the time and couldn’t dedicate much time or money to multiple pets. I noticed her play would be very aggressive, so I decided to adopt another cat in order to help her learn how to behave. For years I have tried various solutions to help her be less aggressive, all to no avail. The last few months I have noticed that her tail energy is low/not good, she is always on alert, and she’s quick to attack/hiss. She seems really anxious/unhappy and I can’t fix it. Giving her up breaks my heart, but the vet recommended that a home with more cats would help her learn how to be a cat. I love her so much, I wish I could fix her anxiety. She is a cuddle monster, toy chasing fiend, and so smart! (I have taught her 4 tricks so far). She will make a great pet once she calms down some.

Story
She's a great cat who's good for people and other pets including other cats / dogs. She's about 2 and a half years old, spayed, and house trained. She's very nice with people, I've been told she's the nicest cat by multiple people who don't usually like cats. If I had it my way, she'd be with me forever, she's such a great cat. I have a partner who is allergic to cats so I'm looking for a rehome. If anyone needs videos or has questions, I am here to answer.

Story
She is a calm girl, loves to climb stuff, and likes to play with strings. She gets hyper at points. She loves coconut oil, she likes to cuddle at night and in the morning. At some points she will come to you for attention. She likes to talk: she would do little chirps and other sounds. She also likes to hide to be left alone to sleep. She has this favorite toy that is like a twisty worm.

Story
Binx is the sweetest little girl and is approximately 5 months old. She is very affectionate and loves "making biscuits". She gives her other kitten friends daily massages and loves to snuggle. Binx loves to play with the other kittens and she loves to play with toys. She's been handled a lot and will let you hold her like a baby and rub her belly. She's already amazing, but she's going to be even better. It looks like she's going to be on the small side.
