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.
