Story
Finn is a shy but sweet cat. He takes his time to get to know you but he loves head scratches and when he gets super comfortable, he may accept tummy scratches. He is potty trained and is very attracted to fake plants so keep those away from this one! He isn't a huge fan of little kids but adults are always welcome. He has lived in a home with both dogs and cats however he is not a fan of dogs as they have a lot of energy. Finn likes calm environment and to snuggle after getting to know you well!

Story
Cricket is approximately 1 to 1.5 years old. We found him roaming our neighborhood on our night cameras outside. It was the middle of summer and he was looking worse and worse trying to get through the heat. It took us a few weeks or so to get him to trust us. When we finally brought him inside, he was underweight and badly beaten up by another cat. He was afraid of everything at first. We've had him now for two months and he is fully healthy, happy, playful and very affectionate. He loves to give kisses. He has some separation anxiety that will likely go away once he is with a forever family. He is obsessed with food (understandably) but that means you cannot just leave too much food out for him. He is very resilient and has an easy temperament. He gets along with our cats and dog but needs someone who can give him all the attention he needs. We already have four pets with special needs--leaving little time for Cricket. He needs to be an indoor-only cat unless he goes out on a leash.

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
My cat had a litter of 9 which 3 sadly passed away, Gordis fought a tough battle to be here with us today and he is such a sweet baby who loves to be cuddled, enjoys treats, and toys. This sweet boy is in need of a good home, I have been way too busy to give him the amount of attention i used to give him and I feel bad because he deserves better and much more.

Story
Absolutely beautiful pure gray cat. She is such a sweet and loving cat. We got her and her brother when I was at home all the time and my husband was working from home. She is great with my pit mix and very tolerant and patient with my 3.5 year old boy. Plays with toys and uses scratch pads. She is litter box trained and likes to use a traditional litter box as well as the auto (PetKit) litter box. If a home would accept two beautiful cats, she has an adopted brother that she has bonded with. If both go to the same home I will throw in their automatic PetKit litter box which connects to an app on your phone and shares info about their current weight and usage. Retails for $500+ Things have shifted significantly with my family and work life that requires us both out of the house for 12+ hours of the day and the cats deserve a loving home with a family that will be around more.
