Hello there, I'm Cookie! My days are filled with play and sweet cuddles. I'm gentle and a bit shy, but once I get to know you, we'll be the best of friends. I've got a playful spirit and a heart full of love to give. I'm not just a cat, I'm a companion, a friend, and a confidante. I've been through some tough times, but I never let it dull my spirit.

If you're looking for a friend who'll stick by you through thick and thin, who'll listen to you without judgement, and who'll bring a ray of sunshine into your life, then I'm your girl.

Story
Cracker will be eight years old in June 2024. Cracker has never been away from her brother, Jack, who is from the same litter as her. My preference is that they both find one home so they can be together. They are healthy cats, and their vaccinations (rabies and RCP) will be covered till 2027 by the time they are rehomed. Cracker has no specific dietary restrictions and eats both wet and dry food. Cracker is a playful cat. She loves to sit on top of a bar stool or a high chair and catch hair ties I throw to her. She also enjoys lying in a box with holes in its sides, and playing with things poked at her through the holes in the box. She is fond of her collection of wand toys. My friends who have had to cat-sit for Cracker and Jack over the years have often remarked on how nice they are. They do not scratch. They are shy and do not hang out much the first time they meet you, but they are playful and sociable once they get used to you.

Story
Jack will be eight years old in June 2024. Jack has never been without Cracker, his sister from the same litter as him. My preference is that they find the same home. Jack is a healthy and energetic cat, and his vaccinations (rabies and RCP) will be covered till 2027 by the time he is rehomed. Jack has a tendency to develop bladder stones because of which he only eats prescription wet and dry food. Jack's absolute favorite game is when I spread a blanket on the floor or the bed, and he tries to get under it. He also loves to chase toys down the hallway, although he does not play fetch. He is also fond of his collection of wand toys. My friends who have had to cat-sit for Cracker and Jack over the years have often remarked on how nice they are. Jack is shy and does not hang out much the first time he meets someone, but he is sociable once he gets used to you. (Jack occasionally tries to lightly bite you but that's an affectionate response to your cuddling.)

Story
She is a very sweet 11 year old girl. She is an indoor/outdoor cat that loves to be outside during the day when it's warm. She will cry and let you know when she's ready to come back in. She will tolerate other cats, but otherwise prefers to be the only one. She likes to watch the birds and prefers a high place to sit and watch. She loves to sleep on your legs or your body when you lie down. Picking her up and cuddling are not good things to do.

Story
Hello! I am heartbreakingly looking to rehome my big old baby boy. Long story medium, a few major life changes happened and I can no longer provide him with the unconditional love and care he deserves. The major culprit being severe PPD and a huge financial shift. He’s does have some ongoing health concerns that I cannot afford to properly have evaluated. I can only assume some mid tier dental work would be required in the near future. He hasn’t shown any indication of pain, but his breath is noticeably bad. He’s a shy boy at first, but once he’s comfortable he can be very chatty. In the past he has been able to adapt to other cats in the household with proper introductions. He’s going on 16 so if he’s not seeking attention, he’s sleep. He is not suited for a home with children. Feel free to ask any other questions!

Zorro is amazing, fun and energetic. He wants petted a lot. He likes to sit on your lap. He loves snuggling but also likes sitting up high. I don't want to rehome him but have to. He is a great cat and so cute with his short tail.
