Story
Looking to rehome this senior guy. He was found as a stray that I took in, and him and my cat have begun to get into fights.The vet estimates he is at least 10 years old. I had him chipped on intake, and he is up to date on vaccines. He is FIV positive, and would likely do best as a single cat. He is box trained. His back legs have some muscle atrophy, and a home that will encourage play and exercise behaviors is needed. He does not enjoy brushing, but is a good boy for nails. Okay for ear cleaning. Good for water/waterless baths as he is not the best at cleaning himself. I have not observed any destructive behaviors. He uses scratchers and spends most the rest his time sleeping.He is such a good boy and is very sweet and affectionate to everyone he has met! He would likely do well with children, but has not to my knowledge met dogs, and he is territorial with other cats.

My Dad also has 2 adult cats that do not get along with the younger ones.Tuting and Junior are:• Estimated to be 3-5 years old• Friendly and sweet personalities• Believed to be both female• Litter box trainedI haven’t had much interaction with the cats but the times I have, they have been very sweet and friendly.💰 Rehoming fee: $0. We just want them to go to a good home and avoid a shelter.

Story
Mischka is about 8yrs old. He is a very sweet cat. He doesn't shy away from anything or anyone. He loves to greet everyone. He enjoys lap time and playtime. He gets along with other cats except for our one female elderly cat. He keeps attacking her and that is why we are rehoming him. He has seen the vet and we have tried so many things over the past few years but nothing has worked. He gets along fine with the other cats. Mischka does eat special cat food for his bladder stones. If you adopt him, he will literally be your best friend.

Story
Hazy is a sweet girl who loves attention. She’s a little on the husky side weighing in at 15 lbs on her last vet visit but I believe it’s just how she was created. She has the loveliest purr.I acquired her 5 years ago when my daughter went into the Navy. Her birthday is December 18, 2021. She has been having trouble with my other cats so I have to keep her separated. I hate having to keep her locked up because she really does love human interaction. She does shed so brushing is important but she doesn’t mind a little brushing.I believe she would fit in best with quiet adults who may occasionally have kids around like grandma and/or grandpa. However she does love visitors which is her curious nature.
