Story
Breenie is the absolute best kitty. In her old age (about 13 years) she has developed a food allergy and kidney disease. She is currently on special food Due to the allergy and kidney issues, she vomits a few times a week but this has significantly reduced since only allowing her to eat the specialized food. Unfortunately, without being able to control the vomiting, it is not sustainable to keep her with a toddler and an infant. She is so sweet and I have a dog and another cat and she is great to them as well as my small kids.

Story
Apollo is a great cat who thrives on companionship and enjoys spending quality time with his human family. His soft demeanor and gentle disposition make him a wonderful addition to any home seeking a loving pet. While Apollo excels in forming bonds with people, he tends to prefer a solitary lifestyle when it comes to other animals. He may not readily adapt to sharing his space with other cats or dogs, making him best suited for a household where he can be the sole recipient of attention. If you're in search of a loyal and affectionate companion who will brighten your days with his presence, consider welcoming Apollo into your home. His endearing personality and loving nature are sure to bring joy and companionship to his new family. Please reach out to learn more about Apollo and how you can provide him with a loving forever home.

Story
Porter and Theodore are 3 year old bonded brothers that have never been separated!! They are SO cuddly, playful and loving. They play gently and love being around people. They are clicker trained, healthy and honestly too smart for their own goods! Porter is leash trained and loves walks outside and Theodore loves snuggles by the fire (or really anytime) and is very food motivated. They eat wet and dry food, do not like pine pellet litter, hate being apart, love the laser pointer and high spots to watch you , playing fetch and oddly enough straws! I am looking for a loving home that will take both boys and will look at them as family members. I have to re-home them due to new onset allergies that are making a new medical condition worse and because of the type of medicine I am on, I am not eligible for the allergy shots and I will be on this medicine for the rest of my life. It breaks my heart as these little guys have been my companions since they were 3 months old.

He is 2 years old. A little bit skittish, but once he gets used to you and your home, he’s very nice. He doesn’t bite or scratch. I need to rehome him because we’re not allowed to have pets & because he needs to be neutered. He loves attention & being pet. Looking for a home that will love him.

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.
