Story
They are the most sweeties kittens ever but they have a lot of energy especially at night. They like to sleep sleep beside me and they love to cuddle. They are the most sweetest and energetic kittens ever. When I found them they looked about just a couple of days old they still had their eyes closed. I had found them a couple of weeks ago beside my apartment building they are 4 kitten 3 orange and 1 black and grey kitten.

Story
The most friendly cat you will ever meet. He has never taken his claws out on us. The moment his paws feel skin he retracts. You can squeeze him, hug him, and cuddle! HE LOVES TO EAT! My toddlers pet and play with him and he is so unbothered by them. We have a female cat who always hisses at him and he just accepts her and doesn’t retaliate at all. He is so mellow and chill, except when it comes to food. I’m hoping he finds a wonderful home, he really deserves a loving forever home. He is a sweetheart but my hands are full right now. Also, he’s all indoor!

Story
I found Wren in Dallas, where he ran up to me on the sidewalk and showed me his belly for pets. After taking him to get his microchip scanned, we were both excited to find he had an owner — until the owner claimed they never had a cat before. Once we got home, he let me bathe him, clip his claws, give him meds to get some yucky things out of his system with minimal fuss, and settled in for lots of cuddles. Unfortunately, I already have a bonded pair of kitties who aren’t Wren’s biggest fan, and I’m also temporarily living in a family member’s home who is not too keen on a third cat. I only want to make sure he goes to a loving home and am happy to waive the adoption fee for someone willing to chat a bit beforehand (and maybe send update pics afterwards.) Wren deserves better than someone who isn’t excited to get the call that he’s been found, and I wish I could give him that home, but since I’m not in a situation to, hopefully you or someone you know can. Thank you for reading!

I adopted a stray queen a few months back and it's about time for us to rehome the litter of her babies. Mom is a mostly American shorthair tabby and kittens are 3 female tabbies and one male mostly grey with cream here and there. Babies are 3 months old now, all really sweet and well behaved.

Story
Slim Shady is a stray who we rescued off the street over a year ago. Unfortunately, we didn't realize we were allergic to cats until after we got him so we are looking to give Slim a more suitable home. A little bit about Slim, he is about 3-4 years old and is a very sweet boy who loves to cuddle and play! He is not shy at all and loves his people, and can be pretty vocal when he wants attention. Slim lives indoors but also enjoys outside time. He is litter box trained, is neutered, has all of his shots, and gets a monthly topical flea treatment. He is also used to having his claws trimmed and having caps put on them. Having a scratching post is definitely recommended! We are not sure how he is around other cats but think he may like having a buddy. Slim's ideal owner would be someone who has at least some experience owning cats, is able to give him lots of attention and who has a backyard. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like more pictures!

Found this abandoned kitty yesterday in the middle of the road. About 4-6 weeks old and less than a pound. He has been nothing but loving and affectionate while with us. Unfortunately due to work schedules my wife and I cannot take on a kitten. He was taken to the vet and is currently taking meds for a respiratory infection. Seems to be recovering very well and takes medication like a champ!

Story
Looking for a snuggly and playful new addition to your family? Look no further! Niko is a 2 1/2 year old male who would love to spend his days purring in your lap, chasing a laser dot around the house, and cuddling up next to you while you read or sleep. He is great with kids, and he doesn't mind being manhandled or held. He is curious, talkative, and loves to observe what you are up to - he especially enjoys sitting on his kitchen perch and watching you cook. Sometimes, he is even too smart for his own good - he learned how to open several of the doors in our home! He needs lots of love and attention in order to thrive. When he doesn't get enough attention or snuggles, he gets anxious, and he expresses his anxiety by overgrooming the fur on his belly. Consequently, he has some bald spots on his tummy! He is really a neat cat though, and with lots of love he will thrive. His current family loves him dearly but is expecting a baby soon and cannot continue to care for him.
