Story
Harry is a senior cat, turning 15 this year. Harry loves attention and affection from people. Harry is very vocal too and will let you know when he wants attention or food by meowing loudly! His ideal home would be with someone who works from home or is home often and can snuggle with him all day. We use a timed feeder for his dry food as it is good for him to know that he will be fed at the same time everyday. I adopted Harry when he was 6 years old and we were living in Boston. We relocated to Dallas and since then we moved in with my husband who has a cat and I have had two children. Unfortunately things have gotten tough over time and Harry has acted out due to lack of attention, the addition of another cat and two babies. It breaks my heart to put him up for adoption but I am hopeful we can find a home that is a better fit for him. He is an anxious cat and needs to be around people with no other pets or young children in the house.

He’s the sweetest cat but he just does not get along with my other cat. He gets along with my male cat, ideally I’d want a home for them together but if not that is okay. My other cat is named spot. He is microchipped, neutered, and very cuddly and sweet. These two are best friends but my third female cat does not get along with Jiji at all and it’s causing her a lot of behavioral problems and anxiety.

Story
we got Bandit from a loving family member who loved him but sadly passed away. we adopted him, took him into our home, and had him for 5 years. but unfortunately, we have gotten too busy to give him enough attention and care. Bandit is a loving cat and loves attention he is good with kids and other animals most of the time, he will leave them be unless they become good buds. Bandit is an adventurous cat who will not try to escape but will like to roam in a gated backyard or porch. he is sweet, loving, and very social, a great cuttlebug, and loves to be scratched. he loves food and treats and tuna but is very healthy. he likes being brushed. he is very friendly and doesn't like hiding although he will find cute and funny places to hide and rest. he loves company. he will want to sleep with you and lay with some toys he does not like toys that sound like plastic bags and doesn't like costumes.we will also include his automatic litter box, food feeder, and a cat stand to come with him.

Story
ADOPT ME HERE (click on or copy and paste link into browser): https://tinyurl.com/yck86pp4Hi! My name is Bagel. I am a super unique fellow who prefers to have all interactions on my terms. I must admit, I am not a lap cat, unless I want to be. I don't like to cuddle, unless I want to, and if I grace you with my presence, you should feel privileged. It's better if you pet me with your eyes most times, but I will let you know when I want some attention. Hands are allowed only when I want them and I will even let you give me treats or play with toys on occasion.I have been called a jerk, a curmudgeon, a sourpuss, and several other not-so-nice names, but I say phooey on them. I just know my limits and expectations, and want to make sure you understand where I am coming from. I have been known to communicate with hissing at times, and while that may seem off-putting, you will never question whether I want attention or not. If you are looking for a cuddle buddy, sadly, I am probably not your guy. But, if you are looking for a companion who will always be honest with you, who will not pester you for attention, and who will provide much needed companionship and loyalty, I am your guy. I tolerate other kitties who respect my space and have previously lived with a dog, but am happy to be an 'only child' too. I probably would not do well with kiddos, as they want attention all of the time, and my sun-bathing and nap-times are precious to me. I am a big guy, so prefer not to be picked up either, but I am trained to go into my pet taxi when travel is required - I am a sucker for treats! I am vaccinated, microchipped, had flea treatment applied, and have been sterilized. If you are interested in adopting me, come visit me at the shelter during visiting hours or you may copy and paste the link above into your web browser and fill out an adoption application. I cannot wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Niko, an affectionate and curious kitty looking for his furever home! Niko is a 2 ½ year old male adopted as a kitten from a rescue agency in Wisconsin. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. 

Since kittenhood, Niko has delighted in both play and snuggles. He is happy to chase the laser dot around the house, but afterwards he wants to sit in your lap, purr, and nap. He is also very intelligent â&#194&#128&#194&#147 his favorite game is for his owners to hide mice stuffed with treats around the house for him to find. No matter where you hide it (including up the chimney!), Niko will find it! He loves attention, and he greets any house guests at the door, expecting some pets in exchange for his hospitality. Niko has not been around dogs or cats before, but he is very gentle and patient with children. He is fully litterbox trained and does not scratch furniture.

In order to thrive, Niko needs lots of attention and love. When he does not get enough interaction, 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 would do best in a family that offers him daily cuddles and playtime, has enough space for him to explore, and is open to a sleeping companion at night. Nikoâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s current owners love him dearly, but some new family dynamics have rendered them unable to continue to care for him.

This cuddly and playful boy is deserving of a furever home! Could it be with you? Adopt Niko today!
