Story
Lulu was adpted from a local animal shelter when she was around 6 months old. She was born in 2015 so now she is 9 years old. She is neutered. She is such a friendly cat who wants to snuggle with everyone. I mean EVERYONE! Her love language is touch. She loves to be petted. She never ever hurted me or anybody in my family, never hissing, never scratching someone. If you play too rough with her especially around her belly, she gets too stimulated and may grab you by being playful. Just don't do that, be gentle with her. She is such a princess and wants to be in the center of attention all the time.

Story
Lala is such a cutie. He is very sweet and will come sit next to you. He likes to be on your lap and be petted. He is also very cautious. He needs time in a new environment; maybe a few hours. We have moved several times, but he adjusted very well. One thing he is just not able to adjust is with kids. He is okay with infants, but with toddlers he gets scared and does not get along with them. In 9 years with Lala, I never saw him hissing unless a handful times when he was playing with my other cat. He never hurts or scratches me or any other members in my family. He can get rough with his adoptive sibling cat when playing and needs to be reminded to play gentle. However, it never caused me to be worried enought to separate the cats. Lala is a sweet cat and always craves for lots of love and attention.

Story
Bear and Sunshine are twins who are 3 years old and born on May 27th 2020. Bear is a male and a mostly black cat. He is very playful and slightly dramatic. He loves to cuddle and is a great little cat. He goes outside for about an hour a day to explore and play. He is very good will meeting new people and is very social and loves little kids. Sunshine (sunny) is a Female Brown cat that is very sweet. She is a little more shy but is super nice to everyone. She loves to be pet and play around. She does not like to go outside but enjoys fresh air. They both don't hunt and are all together very gentle creatures. They both play with each other and don't require to much attention. Once you get used to them they really are the best cats and i am sure their new owners will love them very much.

Story
Merlin was adopted when he was only 2 months. Now he is 2 years old. He is a great cat. Love to take naps and sit in the sun infront of our front door or in the backyard. He loves to be pet and loves playing with the kids. Due to overseas travel we have found it difficult to find him shelter since we can't take him with us. It is a very difficult decision that we delayed for a while and the kids are not happy with it but we had no choice. Will only consider serious adopters who can take a great care of Merlin.
