Story
Camrie is a fun loving, social cat. She loves people and makes for a wonderful work-from-home companion. She loves to chase small balls of paper and can jump high after feather wands. She purrs whenever she curls up in your lap and loves to make biscuits on fleece blankets. She warms up easily to company and will approach strangers to your home. Easy to brush and clip nails. She has the ease and independence of a cat with the social, playful disposition of a dog.

Story
Hello! I am heartbreakingly looking to rehome my big old baby boy. Long story medium, a few major life changes happened and I can no longer provide him with the unconditional love and care he deserves. The major culprit being severe PPD and a huge financial shift. He’s does have some ongoing health concerns that I cannot afford to properly have evaluated. I can only assume some mid tier dental work would be required in the near future. He hasn’t shown any indication of pain, but his breath is noticeably bad. He’s a shy boy at first, but once he’s comfortable he can be very chatty. In the past he has been able to adapt to other cats in the household with proper introductions. He’s going on 16 so if he’s not seeking attention, he’s sleep. He is not suited for a home with children. Feel free to ask any other questions!

Story
Ginger is a sweet cat with severe diabetes. She will need two shots of insulin a day. She’s 14 years old and we’ve had her since she was 1 year old. She lived with my parents before they had to move to an Assisted Living facility recently. My mom can’t take care of her anymore, given Ginger’s diabetes and needs. We’re looking for someone with a big heart that can help Ginger (and us) in her time of need, and someone who has experience taking care of an older cat that needs insulin shots.

Nina is a nearly five-year-old female short-hair cat with velvety soft fur. She has black and white tuxedo markings on her lower body and calico markings on her back and upper body.

Nina's favorite sleeping place is in her foster Mom's bed or the chair next to the bed. Nina has the softest, squeakiest meow that she uses to signal she wants your attention and to be petted. She loves to play with the laser toy and nap next to her foster siblings. Nina has not been exposed to children or dogs she has not demonstrated any aggressive behavior to date with humans. She gets along very well with the other cats in her foster home. Nina had a full medical work up and she has no health issues at this time, She tested negative for FIV/FeLV and she is spayed.
