Story
Mr. Bones is an incredibly loving and cuddly 3 year old cat who is looking for a home where he can be the only pet! He is outgoing, playful, and a HUGE cuddle-bug. He wants to be with you wherever you are! He sleeps next to me at night, and follows me around the house. He is a Velcro kitty, and cries if he can't find me. He is not afraid of humans or the vacuum. The right home for Mr. Bones is one where he is the only pet, and other cats and dogs will not encroach on his territory. Mr. Bones was found under a family friend's house in East Texas as a kitten, and was given to me. I took him to the vet to get neutered, and the vet incorrectly told me that he was already neutered. After a run-in with a dog set off Mr. Bones into a meltdown, he was taken to a different vet where his double cryptorchidism was discovered and fixed. He is now neutered! However, his territorial marking has not stopped, as he currently shares a home with two other cats. He will be a great only companion.

Story
My baby, Diana, came in to my life when she was 8 weeks old. I raised her as an only cat because I was in college at the time and couldn’t dedicate much time or money to multiple pets. I noticed her play would be very aggressive, so I decided to adopt another cat in order to help her learn how to behave. For years I have tried various solutions to help her be less aggressive, all to no avail. The last few months I have noticed that her tail energy is low/not good, she is always on alert, and she’s quick to attack/hiss. She seems really anxious/unhappy and I can’t fix it. Giving her up breaks my heart, but the vet recommended that a home with more cats would help her learn how to be a cat. I love her so much, I wish I could fix her anxiety. She is a cuddle monster, toy chasing fiend, and so smart! (I have taught her 4 tricks so far). She will make a great pet once she calms down some.

Story
She's a great cat who's good for people and other pets including other cats / dogs. She's about 2 and a half years old, spayed, and house trained. She's very nice with people, I've been told she's the nicest cat by multiple people who don't usually like cats. If I had it my way, she'd be with me forever, she's such a great cat. I have a partner who is allergic to cats so I'm looking for a rehome. If anyone needs videos or has questions, I am here to answer.

Story
She is a calm girl, loves to climb stuff, and likes to play with strings. She gets hyper at points. She loves coconut oil, she likes to cuddle at night and in the morning. At some points she will come to you for attention. She likes to talk: she would do little chirps and other sounds. She also likes to hide to be left alone to sleep. She has this favorite toy that is like a twisty worm.
