Story
Nasa is 7 year old, I adopted him at 24PetWatch in 2018. Nasa is a cat who desperately needs to be loved — you can see it just from his eyes. At the same time, he is also very jealous and possessive. After a few more cats joined our home, he became very insecure and started pooping and peeing everywhere. We tried many things — giving him good food, playing with him, using sprays that are supposed to calm him down — but none of it worked. On top of that, my wife left the United States, and I was struggling with depression myself. I simply wasn’t able to take proper care of him. To stop him from making a mess in the house, I had no choice but to keep him in the backyard. He stayed there alone, but he would always stand by the window or lie on the table by the window, watching everything happening inside the house. He longed to come back in. I saw all of this, and it broke my heart, but I didn’t know what else I could do. He loves being loved.

Story
Pepper is a roughly 2 year old male cat with some special needs. He came to us as a scared little stray from a Target parking lot, and I'm honestly not sure if he was ever an indoor cat before then. It did take some time for him to warm up, but once he did he can be a snuggly little fellow when he wants to be. He likes sitting beside of you on the couch while you watch tv, and at night he likes to snuggle up at the foot of the bed. He's also quite playful and loves toys! Pepper does, however, have some special needs and would really do best in a calmer house where he is the only cat. He's fine with small dogs, but he does NOT do well with other cats. And unfortunately, he and my sweet older kitty just aren't getting along and they are both becoming very stressed. I am absolutely more than happy to get shots updated for you if you want to adopt. Comes with litter pan, some toys, cat collar w/ tracking tag (iphone compatible only).
