Story
She's intelligent, cautious, thoughtful, and very likable, especially with children. She'll be four years old on July 1st. I brought her home from the adoption center when she was a little over two months old. My baby loves her, and she loves my baby too. They grow up and play together. After getting used to the neighborhood, she'll explore on her own and come back by herself. She'll follow me when I take my child for walks. If a dog passes by, she'll even stand in front of my child in a defensive stance to protect her. She's very cautious outdoors; she'll hide when someone or a car passes by to ensure her safety. She likes canned food with soup, enjoys watching me fill her with fresh water, likes to sleep at my feet, or find a comfortable spot to sleep. She won't go out when it rains, and will hide under the bed or in the garage during thunderstorms. When we go out, she'll sit on the windowsill to see us off, and when we come back, she'll be there to greet us when we open the door.

Story
I adopted Musa about a year and a half ago and she has been an amazing cat. She is about 3 years old, very social and has a lot to say. Great with visitors and friendly with everyone. Friendliest cat I have ever met. However due to my work situation I will be moving overseas, and I neither have the time or money to get her exported to the foreign country in which I will work in. I would like to ensure she makes it to a good household and is taken care of.

Tobi/Tobias is a very sweet and affectionate cat. He came up to me in a parking lot a couple months ago and I’ve taken care of him since but my dog doesn’t get along with him unfortunately. Tobi likes to sit on the window sill and look outside and cuddle up on the couch. He would do great with a household with no other pets or with other pets that don’t mind sharing attention. I have never heard Tobi hiss at people or other animals but he is very vocal and likes to talk to you! Tobi is between one and two years old and a very healthy cat with a shiny coat. He truly is an amazing cat and a great companion.

Story
I've had the joy of raising this adorable little guy since he was born, and while it breaks my heart to consider rehoming him, we're unable to give him the love and attention he truly deserves. This affectionate 3-year-old, born in April, is a sweet and trusting companion. Once he warms up to you, he'll happily let you hold him and enjoy your company. He loves attention, and occasionally enjoys a brief adventure outside, always returning within 10-15 minutes. He even likes to play fetch from time to time! If you're looking for a loving and playful feline friend, he could be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
Cowboy is 10 years and 10 months old. I took him in eight years ago. He enjoys being held (even on his back like a baby). Loves to cuddle and doesn’t really have any off limit zones for petting. While I would love to keep him, he is constantly terrorized by one of the other cats. Because of this he hides on top of the fridge or in the office for up to 16 hours a day; he deserves better than that. The only medical needs he has is prescription food: Adult Gastrointestinal Dry Food.

Story
We adopted Jasper roughly 4 years ago as a kitten along side his brother. He has been an amazing cat to us but began showing signs of not getting along with his brother a while ago. We have attempted to help mitigate this but it ultimately ended in them being separated. I want him to go to a loving family who will not have to split attention between him and another pet and possibly someone with a pet of equal energy he can play with. He loves to play with his springs and I do think he would get along with another cat other than his brother. Jasper has always loved to cuddle at night and hang out in the evening. When adopted Jasper has supplies such as auto feeder, water fountain, and a litter box I will send with him to his new home.
