Story
Buttons is a very cuddly cat that loves to sit on my lap while I am at my desk. She will also lay down in bed with me most nights. She is alright around strangers as long as they are chill. Generally she is low energy and just likes to relax. A quiet home would be best. She is not very comfortable around other cats or animals but will leave them alone if they leave her alone. We have one other cat and she hisses at him sometimes but otherwise ignores him. She would probably not do well with other high energy pets. She is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccines. She is prone to constipation though and requires Royal Canin Fiber Response cat food. It costs ~$80 for a bag that lasts 3 months on Chewy. Due to her issues she poops on the floor most of the time. It is usually either right in front of the litterbox or in a comfort place like a floor mat or under the bed. They are big logs though and easy to pick up and flush. She pees in the box just fine.

Story
Meow meow is a great cat. He would do best to be an only cat or potentially with a cat that does well with other cats. He is playful, loves the wand toys but will also play by himself. He loves to be high in his tall perches. When given time, he is a cuddler and will reward you with some happy contented drool. Meow does have a history of asthma which is currently managed with 1 puff of Flovent daily. He is trained to take his medicine with 1 treat after his puff. He is so good with medicine it’s amazing!

Story
Smokey is a very affectionate and fun cat. He will greet you when you get home with a meow and by rubbing up against your legs. He likes to follow us around the house and sit on the couch next to us. He is pretty good with strangers and will come out to say hi to them. However, he is easily startled by fast movements or loud noises. Our 2 year old daughter can pet him but if she lets out an excited scream he runs away. He has a good amount of energy and likes to run up and down stairs and play with toys. He can be very goofy and finds funny spots to sit. He is an indoor cat though sometimes goes out on our balcony. The one thing that upsets him is loud noises or fast movements. He is easily startled. He is fine with other cats and more calm people. Neutered. Chipped. Up to date on vaccines. No special medical conditions or dietary needs. He is healthy. No behavior issues. He also occasionally scratches the walls but not enough to leave any marks or cause damage.

Story
May May does not get along with other cats and would be better off as the only pet in the home. She is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old and very affectionate, but only on her terms. She does not like being carried or held, or having her nails trimmed. She is overweight (work in progress), and needs some dental work, but otherwise healthy.

Story
Winnie is a very sweet girl! She is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, spayed, and fairly quiet. She loves to be petted and will even pat your shoulder if you do not immediately give her the attention she wants. She does not like to be held, but will occasionally climb into your lap for attention. She is overweight (work in progress with the vet), but otherwise healthy. She would be better as the only pet in the home, because she was not socialized properly.

Story
Harry is a friendly cat who loves food and enjoys a calm, relaxed lifestyle. He’s affectionate without being too demanding, often choosing to sit nearby rather than seek constant attention. However, Harry has a habit of chewing and eating small items made of silicone, foam, and plastic, so his home needs to be kept tidy and free of loose objects to keep him safe. With his easygoing nature and low energy, he’s well suited for a quiet home without young children, where he can lounge, snack, and enjoy gentle companionship.Harry's bounded pair, Ollie, who is affectionate and loves human attention, will go with him.
