Nico was rescued from kitty cat rescue as a baby. He is friendly, loving, and love to play fetch! Yeah I know haha! We love Nico dearly but due to his brothers recent vet fees we are unable to care for both. It was so hard to choose but we want the best for both of them including a a great home!

Story
9 years old female, a rescued cat from shelter in Maryland. She is reserved, quiet cat. Most of times, she likes to spend her time, hiding somewhere confirmable to her. She nicely lets me know when food dish is empty. Otherwise, she disappears from our sight all day. Usually, she doesn't like you to approach to her. Never pay attention to any human's food or steal food. She doesn't like other dog. Very diffensive, not friendly in hostile situation against dog.

Story
I inherited Chloe from my daughter as she could not have pets in her apartment. I have two other dogs and a cat, and Chloe does not get along with them. She is very loving and snuggly with humans and craves attention, but she just doesn’t care for or get along with other animals. Chloe is a brown/black tabby with white markings. She’s almost 13 years old. She would make a great companion for someone who doesn’t have other pets.

Story
🌼🐾Meet Daisy, the sweet and shy feline searching for her purrfect forever home! At just 4 years old, this lovely lady has had her fair share of ups and downs.

Prepare to be showered with affection as she follows you around the house, yearning to be the center of your attention. She doesn't ask for much–just some treats & some gentle chest rubs. Whenever Daisy wants your love, she'll adorably plop down on the floor, signaling her desire for some chest rubs. She will gladly curl up beside you in bed, kneading biscuits with her paws as a sign of contentment. Adopt Daisy today and experience a lifetime of purrs and lovin.

Story
Leo is the brother of fellow tabby, Rocky, and just turned 5 years old this April. Leo and Rocky originally hail from Queens, New York, where their mother was rescued. They are well-behaved, loving and great companions. Ideally, because they have been bonded from birth, I'd like to rehouse Leo and Rocky together. As the ginger tabby, Leo is curious, playful and attentive. His favorite toys include catnip mice with long tails and feather toys.

Story
Rocky is brother to ginger tabby Leo. They originally hail from Queens, New York, where their mother was rescued. They are about to turn 5 years old this April. Rocky is is a calm, fun-loving and sweet companion who loves nothing more than resting on his owner's stomach or lap. He is affectionate and playful, and especially loves anything that slithers -- be it a catnip mouse's tail or a feather toy that slinks about the ground. He is also very partial to chasing laser pointers. Like his brother Leo, Rocky is easy maintenance but does have occasional asthma which we treat with oral medication. The asthma isn't serious and is triggered by household dust/dander, so a clean space will ensure Rocky is perfectly fine.

Story
In 2021 I found her when she was about for the six week old walking and meowing around in the alley by the trash can in the rain. I quickly got a box and blanket and brought her inside. Since then we had her for about two years now. Me and my grandmother are getting very busy, her with work and me with college. We would like the opportunity for her to have a loving family that will take care of her and give her the love that every pet deserves.

Story
Luna and Cloud are two young cats, a little over 2 years old. I travel frequently and I’m unable to give them the attention they deserve. They are very cuddly and love to rub up on people. They love attention and will cry if you need space. They are quite talkative as well.
