Story
Fletcher was found on our neighbors balcony. He is extremely friendly and vocal when hungry. Fletcher loves curling up in laps and getting full body rubs. He is a purr machine!! Most likely abandoned by another renter as he is friendly with humans. Fletch has tested negative on everything. The vet said his kidney enzyme is elevated, but care and access to healthy diet will help bring this down. When found Fletch had several wounds, which are healing nicely thanks to antibiotics (course finished). The worst of wounds are scratch directly above his left eye, burned paw pads, and would under his tail. All are healing and healthy pink flesh visible. Vet believes he crawled inside vehicle engine to stay warm and was still there when motor started. We have a 2 pet limit at our apartment, so we are caring and covering expenses while searching for his furrever home. He is not fond of our 2 dogs, so we think a home without dogs is best for him.

Story
DOB 05/21/19 - Oreana needs her angel! This adorable tuxedo cutie had a rough start but Orrie has started to blossom. She's lived with calm, gentle, cat friendly dogs, and a variety of friendly kitties. This princess has decided her perfect place would be a calm, quiet home. She would probably love to be the queen of the castle and just live life with you! Oreana will be shy at first and will need some time, love and patience to settle in, but she will be forever grateful and your BFF once that happens! She sleeps with you once she's comfortable too! Are you her angel? For inquiries on adopting, please email DallasCatLadyInfo@gmail.com. You must be over 25 to adopt with proof of ID. Adoption Fee is $65 and covers care and vetting done. ##531450##

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!

Story
If you are in the same room with Ophelia, she is in your lap purring loudly. She turns into a little velociraptor around other cats…we attempted for 3 months to socialize her with our other cats when our friend needed to rehome Ophelia, but it is not possible. This cat is awesome for someone who is home a lot and wants a cat who will happily receive constant attention and prefers to be sitting in a human’s lap. She is an absolute dear and we love her but after three months living in a large room away from our other two cats, it is clear she will never be reconciled to sharing space and she shouldn’t be cooped up. She loves to sit on the window sill by an open window, and does seem to get along with the outdoor cats through the window screen. :) She will go to her new home with her food dishes, her litter box, litter box liners, litter, a big bag of food, her bed, her toys and cat treats.

Story
George is a 7-year-old orange and white chonk of a cat who loves to snuggle in your arms at night. He's a very relaxed guy who likes to sunbathe and hang out next to you wherever you sit. He grew up with young kids in the home but a few years ago my wife and I got a divorce so he hasn't seen them much since. A few months ago I sold my home and moved into an RV to simplify my life but he hasn't adjusted well because it is cramped. He's bored and needs some space to move around. George has been an absolute great companion and friend and hate to see him go but I want him to have a better existence since I'll be in this way of life for a few more years. Neutered. Not declawed. No issues with him scratching so long as he has a post.
