Story
I adopted Magnus in 2018 after he wandered into my apartment and found his spot on my couch. Magnus is about six years old and very playful. He has lived with me, my roommate and his brother Ash, who I adopted at the same time. Magnus is sweet and very protective of his space and can be territorial. We recently had a dog move in with us and unfortunately Magnus and the dog are not getting along. After months of training and working with Magnus and our new furry house-mate we are faced with the reality that Magnus would be much better off in a new home, preferably with someone who is looking to home just one cat. Magnus is very loving and it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to help him find a new happy home, but I truly believe he will be much happier in an environment that better suits his needs.

Story
She loves cuddling when she get comfortable. She’s never really interacted with other cats fully but she does fine eating around another cat. She doesn’t typically like being touched much on the body but loves head scratching. She is supper sweet and sometimes playful but mostly chill in her own world.

Story
Pumpkin was one of several neighborhood strays. I had begun feeding her mother and tried to become friendly with her but she would not let anyone get close enough to touch her. Weeks went by with her coming by to eat daily. Then one day another cat followed the mom and this one allowed me to pet it. Both returned two more times and then one day the mom stopped coming but the baby kept coming back. After asking some neighbors, we learned that Pumpkin was one of two kittens and that the mother had not been seen in at least 2 weeks. We thought we could adopt Pumpkin and invited her into our home. She visited a vet and had her vaccinations and was spayed in December 2023. Pumpkin has become a fun and affectionate young cat that loves to play and be petted. Unfortunately we are not able to continue caring for her and I did not want to just put her out of the house or call the county animal shelter. She is litter box trained and is fine indoors but enjoys being outside.

Story
Buffy is the sweetest thing in the whole world, it breaks my heart that I can't keep her when I move. I fostered her at 6 weeks old and fell in love. Unfortunately, she started having seizures around 4 months old and has been diagnosed with epilepsy. She's been stable on her current meds for about a year and a half but she does occasionally have seizures and will require ongoing vet care. She has minor brain damage, so she's a little goofy (she drools when she's excited!) She loves new people, places, and chill pets immediately, but can't get along with my other young cat. She doesn't understand cat play and gets anxious and upset when he pounces, so after trying everything in the book I've had to keep them in separate rooms. She overgrooms from anxiety so her tummy is balding. I've barely been able to manage them separated while living alone, and now that I have to move in with a roommate it just won't be feasible to care for her well. She deserves more time and love.
