Story
My husband had gifted me Carlo for Valentine’s Day about 7 years ago when he was born. He was the kitten to a house cat and stray. He’s a gentle kitty with a love for peace and fun. He’s favorite dish is tuna fish with water and he loves feathers. He grew up around chickens and a big dog, and has a bit of a hunter’s instinct. I’ve trained him to avoid jumping on tables and countertops. He always asks for permission. He’s a very patient cat and easy to love, but he’s a little skittish and takes time to know.

Story
I took in Chapman (also known as Chappy) when my cousin couldn’t properly care for him anymore. He’s a senior cat and requires a lot of attention, but he’s gives back all the love he receives! I like to say that Chappy is a cat that loves love! He is a grateful kitty and goes crazy over Greenies treats! He loves the laser pointer and does require a specific type of food and litter, and of course, snuggles! He gets cold pretty easily and he is easy to walk on the leash.

Story
MaoMao was part of the local feral community. We trapped her under our house when she was pregnant and brought her inside to have her kittens. She turned out to be very friendly, so once her kittens were weaned, we had her spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated in the hopes of finding her a home. She's nervous in new situations and takes time to create a bond, but she's very affectionate once you have that bond. She's the most laid back cat we've ever had as far as handling. She's currently our porch kitty and spends most of her time chillin' on the porch swing; though if we're outside, she follows us around to "help out" with whatever we're doing. MaoMao would be good as an indoor, outdoor, or combo kitty, but plan to keep her inside for at least a couple weeks to create that bond. If considering her for an outdoor kitty, you'll need to be in a rural area as she's used to a lot of space and quiet and wouldn't do well in a neighborhood with lots of people and traffic.

Jami Bug was rescued after a Good Samaritan found her by herself in a bush. She is a healthy sweet baby girl. She comes to her name Jami or Jami bug. She loves playing with other kittens and cats. She plays with little puff balls and climbing. She likes to sleep in bed with me and lay on the couch with her friends. Jami has a little crooked tail but it does not seem to bother her.

I’m a quiet guy. That means you better come find me because I’m probably into something. There’s so much to explore! I like to sleep beside you and watch you work, though I’m told I can’t sit right in front of the monitor. My sister and I would love to explore every inch of your house. Can we? ##1968371##

Story
Meet Layla  – The Sweet Tabby Who Just Wants to Be Loved  Layla has truly blossomed in her foster home. Now that she’s settled in, she’s revealed her inner love bug! She enjoys playing with toys, seeks out affection, and loves spending time curled up on her foster’s lap. This beautiful 3–4-year-old tabby spent much of the last year and a half in an outdoor crate due to a family allergy. Her young owner adored her but is leaving for college, and Layla is now ready for the forever home she’s always deserved. Layla is affectionate, gentle, and people-oriented. She would thrive as the only pet in a calm home where she can soak up all the love and attention she’s missed. ##2450131##
