Story
Oreo is about a year old and a few months. She was adopted at the Tri County Animal Shelter in Cedar Hill, Texas. Unfortunately, I am able to keep her because I am in the middle of a divorce and my financial situation is uncertain. Plus, because she is still young, I do not have as much time as I used to to be able to address behavior. Oreo can be a sweet cat, but she does not enjoy being pet for long periods of time. She can be hyper or, in other words, gets the "zoomies" often. She enjoys sitting on my apartment balcony and looking at the trees above us. I'm not certain how she is with kids but, with what I've experienced so far, I would say she would be better off in a home with no kids. My 6-year old son barely bothers her, and she will come up to him and swat at him. In general, he is very gentle with her but she usually wants nothing to do with him.

Story
The most friendly cat you will ever meet. He has never taken his claws out on us. The moment his paws feel skin he retracts. You can squeeze him, hug him, and cuddle! HE LOVES TO EAT! My toddlers pet and play with him and he is so unbothered by them. We have a female cat who always hisses at him and he just accepts her and doesn’t retaliate at all. He is so mellow and chill, except when it comes to food. I’m hoping he finds a wonderful home, he really deserves a loving forever home. He is a sweetheart but my hands are full right now. Also, he’s all indoor!

Story
I found Wren in Dallas, where he ran up to me on the sidewalk and showed me his belly for pets. After taking him to get his microchip scanned, we were both excited to find he had an owner — until the owner claimed they never had a cat before. Once we got home, he let me bathe him, clip his claws, give him meds to get some yucky things out of his system with minimal fuss, and settled in for lots of cuddles. Unfortunately, I already have a bonded pair of kitties who aren’t Wren’s biggest fan, and I’m also temporarily living in a family member’s home who is not too keen on a third cat. I only want to make sure he goes to a loving home and am happy to waive the adoption fee for someone willing to chat a bit beforehand (and maybe send update pics afterwards.) Wren deserves better than someone who isn’t excited to get the call that he’s been found, and I wish I could give him that home, but since I’m not in a situation to, hopefully you or someone you know can. Thank you for reading!

They are the most sweeties kittens ever but they have a lot of energy especially at night. They like to sleep sleep beside me and they love to cuddle. They are the most sweetest and energetic kittens ever. When I found them they looked about just a couple of days old they still had their eyes closed. I had found them a couple of weeks ago beside my apartment building they are 4 kitten 3 orange and 1 black and grey kitten.

Calli’s human passed away. She is an inside only kitty and has been very well cared for, loved, and spoiled. She’s very talkative and purrs like a revving motor. Calli is a beautiful girl and needs to find her forever person.

"Riyah" is a one year old sweetheart who loves to run through her tunnel and play! She will cuddle and lick you at night and loves to be part of the family! :)  Great with kids, other cats/dogs/bunnies, and up to date with all vaccinations and is microchipped. Will come with all her toys, bowls, litterbox and other items! Only rehoming due to allergies from a recent family change :(
