Story
We adopted Ms Batty about 4 years ago making her 9 years old. Her owner had passed and she was in bad shape. She has the cutest meow and loves nothing more than to rub her two large front teeth on you. She is affectionate, stunning to look at, and is the Queen B of the house. She does alright with kids strongly dislikes dogs and cats and has no problem initiating a fight with ether and winning. She loves men and women but she’s a daddy’s girl for sure. Loves to lay on your chest as well as cuddle. She is not a fan of being picked up. She loves her food and is fairly inpatient for meal times. Batty has had toileting issues since we’ve had her. The vet cannot find anything medically wrong with her but she’s been having bowl movements outside of the litter box and it’s mostly on clothing items or specific spots on the floor. Recently when she comes to cuddle in our bed with us she’s fine and sleeps through the night but she’s started urinating on top of us. Message for more Questions. Thx

Story
I’m looking to rehome my sweet girl Lucy, a 9.5-year-old cat who was adopted from AAC in 2016. Why am I looking to rehome Lucy? She was diagnosed with diabetes in July 2025. She needs a home that can fully meet her medical needs long-term and has a more predictable routine/schedule. I feel overwhelmed and helpless in managing her diabetes care when I’ve already got 3 young kids and a super busy schedule. This decision comes from a place of love and wanting what is best for her. About Lucy: Age: 9.5 years Personality: Sweet but shy, curious, loves snuggles and sunbathing Temperament: Calm and enjoys a predictable routine Indoor only (fully declawed) No issues with kids, cats, or other dogs. Medical Needs: Diabetic (July 2025) Requires insulin and blood sugar monitoring I am happy to share about current treatment, costs, etc. This is not urgent and I am looking for a good home for my sweet kitty

Story
I’m rehoming a very special cat who is ready to bring warmth and love into your life. He’s a 13-year-old orange sweetheart, up-to-date on vaccines, and incredibly cuddly. Once you lay down, he loves curling up right on top of you, soaking in all the pets and affection. He’s calm, gentle, and very laid-back, perfect for a quiet household. He’s been through a little trauma and can be shy at first, but once he feels safe, he’ll be your most loyal companion. He’ll thrive in a calm environment with someone who appreciates his mellow nature. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving, and calm feline friend, this gentle boy could be the perfect addition to your home. Please reach out if you’re interested in meeting him or learning more. He has lived with 2 other cats before. I can provide his stainless steel litter box, toys, and 6mo flea medication.

Story
Beautiful, sweet four year-old female in need of rehoming. She is amazing with people, just does not get along with other animals. Great with kids! My brother got her in California before being reassigned from the Navy, he brought her to live with us and we have had her for a couple of months and she has just not warmed up to the other cats at all. She gets mad and isolates herself and it is very sad. We just want her to be happy and get all of the attention she needs!

Story
Fostered Papaya to prevent her from getting euthanized at the shelter due to lack of space. She has been spayed, but no shots to my knowledge. She is very sweet, cuddly, and people-loving! I will not be able to keep her in my dorm this year, so I’m looking for someone to adopt her and give her the comfort of a permanent family.
