Story
I adopted Mike from a friend who is a rescuer. He is blind, He has no eyes. I’ve had him since he was a baby, while he was going through his surgeries. It pains me to do this but he hasn’t adjusted well to my new baby, we recently found out that my baby is allergic to cats, he was a preemie so his lungs aren’t as developed as other babies his age. Mike has also became increasingly aggressive with my child. At first it was just a nip here and a nip there. I understand he is blind and he doesn’t communicate like a regular cat but he has recently bite and scratched my child. I just can’t keep him anymore. He needs someone who can focus on him or a home that has other cats that he can appropriately play with. I’m afraid he doesn’t know that he’s a cat. He’s normally good with older children. He does not meow. And he’s very playful and loves to climb. He doesn’t like car rides and is generally afraid of cars. He likes going outside for short periods of time but is afraid of load noises.

Story
Rompus is 14 years old. He was found outside the church when he was a tiny kitten. His life has been good so far, living with another cat and a dog. Unfortunately, his owner, a 98 year old senior is no longer able to care for Rompus or the rest of the pets, so Rompus is looking for a new, loving, owner to spend his last years with. Rompus is loving and quiet, though he does like to explore. Rompus has been an indoor cat all his life. He knows nothing about cars, streets, or strangers, and thinks all dogs are safe. Rompus would do best with a small family with older children or a senior, who needs companionship. He takes his job of providing comfort, attention, and love very seriously. Prospective adopters should be aware that Rompus has an allergy that causes severe itching and his hair sometimes falls out. He receives an allergy shot once or twice a year as needed. Rompus will be bring with him, his carrier, food, favorite bed, and flea treatment for several months.

Story
Smudge is around twelve years old. She appeared at the last owner's house out in the country. She settled right in with another cat and a dog. Unfortunately, her owner, a 98 year old senior, could no longer care for the pets and moved into a home. Smudge is very healthy, despite a weight problem. She is doing well on her reducing diet. Prospective adopters will need to monitor her food intake. Smudge is very friendly and loving, but she is also mischievous. She loves to get into cabinets and open drawers. She has no qualms about pushing out your treasures to make room her herself. She is still playful. Smudge has spent most of her life as an inside cat. She is not experienced with cars, streets, or unfriendly dogs. Smudge's perfect home will be indoors with maybe another pet for company and loving owners, who will give her lots of attention and not too many treats. Above all, Smudge would be great for a family with older children or a senior who needs a loving companion.
