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.

Yeti is a 4ish year old spayed sorthaired female cat that needs an only cat home or someone with another FIV cat as she has FIV.

She is up to date on all her shots and had a clean bill of health from the vet last month minus an ear infection that is being treated with ear meds. She is the sweetest girl and will sit on your lap for hours, she was outdoors but would love to live inside. She loves the attention, love treats and absolutely LOVES catnip. She is very vocal as well!

Story
This is Joey! His birthday is June 25th 2024. He is a little gentleman! His favorite hobbies are playtime and staring out of windows at birds, squirrels, and people! Joey is super friendly, though he can be a little shy around new people. He warms up quickly! He likes his personal space, but will always welcome scratches on his chin and kisses on his head. Joey is very low maintenance and is content doing his own thing all day, but will not hesitate to let you know when he is hungry! He gets along well with other cats, and knows how to use the bathroom all on his own. He has never had an accident. He loves to be in whatever room you are in, even if he isn't directly interacting with you. He loves to be in your presence. Joey needs a good home and lots of love, please consider him to be a new member of your family.
