Story
Jiffy is an orange female American short hair. She is spayed and up-to-date on rabies. She is almost 6 years old. Jiffy is very sweet and would lay next to you on the couch all day long if she could! I would say her personality closely relates to Garfield. She loves to eat and be lazy! She is a huge couch potato and enjoys snuggling in her bed or being close to our window where she can watch what is going on outside! She does get along with other cats, however dogs are unknown. I am placing Jiffy up for adoption due to my spouse and I separating. Unfortunately, due to my work requirements, I am unable to give the best life she deserves and it is very important that she goes to a good home where she can get all the love and pets she needs! I am primarily concerned about a good home for Jiffy, not so much the adoption fee which could be negotiated.

Story
Maverick is a 13-year-old short-haired mixed-breed tabby. Unfortunately, after recent moves and additions to our family, he has been acting out and urinating in my children's beds. Additionally, Maverick has feline diabetes and was diagnosed about 8 months ago. I am willing to purchase additional insulin and needles to last at least a year to help you settle into a routine. Additionally, I am willing to provide you with a few months of food until you are established. All the other items we have for him can also be taken at no cost.

Story
I found a litter of cats outside. Shortly after finding them I was hospitalized and diagnosed with lung cancer. I am not able to take care of them like I was before I was diagnosed and I am sick a lot of the time. I just want to find them loving homes where they can have individual attention. Dempsey is a sweet fun loving active cat. He gets along with other cats. Keisha: very talkative, loves short walks under the sheets and air kisses. Gets along well with other cats. Bob: Lap cat. Loves the window and following his person around. Gets along well with cats. George: I call him gentle George. He is the sweetest cat and loves to play and carry his toys in his mouth around the house. Richard: He is a lover boy. He loves to cuddle and play. He loves the window as well. He gets along with other cats well. He can fall asleep anywhere anytime. I only have 4 boxes. If you are interested in Richard please let me know and I can send you a picture of him.

Pie is a loving, caring cat who loves cuddle and sleep with you.He is playful, likes to play with all kinds of toys. Due to my own health issue I'm not going to be able to take care anymore. Which is heartbreaking to me cause I really do love pie but I rather him have a home that has the time and patience for him

Story
Meet Asteroid Asteroid was only 8 weeks old with a severe upper respiratory infection when he was found in someone’s yard. Unfortunately his finder couldn’t care for him, so he was surrendered to rescue. When he got here, he was terrified and very convinced that he was going to be hurt. Even gentle touches made him melt into a frozen puddle of terror. Asteroid has come a long way, but definitely has farther to go. He’s comfortable in the house, fully litterbox trained, loves playing with the other kittens, but he’s still very concerned about people getting close to him. He wants to love, sneaking into bed at night for secret snuggles and accepting gentle pets, but he’s still scared of being cornered. We don’t know what he went through before he was found, but with his level of fear, you always worry about the worst. Asteroid needs a quiet home to learn that people are actually nice and that snuggles are freely offered and don’t have to be secret! The first step is to complete the cat adoption application below. Symbiotic Inc. has a required minimum $150 adoption donation. If you are adopting two cats at once, it is a total of $250. (it is tax deductible!) All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all needed health care before adoption is finalized. We require a meet and greet with all potential adopters, a home visit and a vet reference (if applicable). If you are interested in adopting please visit our website to find our adoptions standards and a link to our cat adoption questionnaire. https://symbioticinc.org/adoption-application
