Story
Cleo is a mama cat through and through—warm, attentive, and completely devoted to the people she loves. Shy at first but quick to warm up, and never one to hiss at a human, she'll greet you by rubbing against your legs before settling down nearby and patiently waiting for attention. Cleo is an absolute sweetie, even grooming a juvenile kitten who wasn't her own but who was very scared and shaking. If you make a kissing sound in Cleo's direction, she'll answer with a head bunt kiss. Sweet, affectionate, and deeply loyal, Cleo is the kind of cat who turns a house into a home. She deserves a soft landing after everything she's given, and she'll repay the kindness tenfold.

Story
Pepper and Ginger are 2 lovely pair bonded lovers. They've been with us for 7 years, so all their lives. I've been allergic to them for a long time, and I was hoping to get accustomed to it, but my health issues are getting worse and our child is also allergic now. We're looking for a wonderful and happy home for our cats, and we'd only want to part with them to someone who'll consider them for the rest of their lives.

Story
I got this cat during Covid times when i was 17. He is now almost 6 years old but has a lot of anxiety. i am a student and have tried every thing to help but i think he needs someone who has more time.I also cant afford him anymore sadly :(. I love this cat more than anything and hope to find him a great home, He loves to keep you company but he likes going outside aswell which also results in his anxiety. He is a built in best friend but I love him enough to know i cant care for him anymore.
