Story
Hello everyone, I’m seeking a loving new home for my young senior cat, Gracie. Recently, my mother, who is over 80, moved in with me, and unfortunately, her allergies to cats have become very severe. Despite trying medications and air purifiers, her symptoms have not improved. Gracie is a healthy, affectionate cat who follows me around the house and gives a lot of love and affection. She especially enjoys foot massages and is always eager for attention and companionship. Gracie loves being indoors and rarely ventures outside, making her well-suited for a calm, indoor environment. I adopted her from a shelter in 2018, and she has been a wonderful companion since then. She would make an ideal pet for a senior individual or couple looking for a gentle, loving friend. If at any point the new arrangement doesn’t work out, I am more than happy to welcome Gracie back into my home. Thank you for considering giving Gracie a new loving home.

Story
Shrimp is a sweet, confident, and outgoing kitten. She is a survivor of animal cruelty: someone tried to drown her in a bucket when they were only 3 weeks old. Despite the odds, she survived and has become an amazing, sweet, and loving kitten! Shrimp is ready for the good life. Shrimp is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped. She is great around kids, dogs, and other cats. She would do well in any home. Shrimp is listed as "special needs" due to mild chronic respiratory issues such as sneezing/watery eyes. It may be due to allergies or residual symptoms from her health issues as a kitten. All kittens are vaccinated, vetted, spayed, and microchipped.

Story
I adopted Skunk about 1.5 years ago, from the Humane Society in Oklahoma City. His profile said he was approximately 12 years old at the time. When I picked him up, he was hiding in his room. Upon arrival at my home (with one other female cat) I kept him separated in my guest room. Each day I went in to try to pet him and give him attention, but he never received it well. Once I allowed him to have free range of my home, he continued to hide under the bed, only coming out at night to use the litter box and eat. My female cat was not and still is not fond of him. Since my husband and I moved to Virginia we put her in our bedroom at night to allow Skunk to come out and be a cat. We believe he will do best as the only animal in the home, with someone who is quieter. He will most likely start to come out during the day and be more social!

Story
Just as the moon was full in the sky, there was a clanging sound: the trap had been triggered. Upon inspection, the trapper was shocked; instead of the intended stray dog, she had caught a pretty little kitty with chicken McNuggets. For obvious reasons, the gray-and-white bicolor cutie was named Moonie McNugget and was sent for spay and vaccinations. Although she was a bit shy, Moonie seemed to be friendly. With ample time for decompression, Moonie McNugget has come out of her shell, seeking out pets and hanging out with the resident cats in her foster home. Moonie could be the center of your universe or join a home with friendly cats--as long as you're willing to give her time to get comfortable. Then, she might even agree to lounge in your shirt pocket!
