Story
Zissou is an indoor cat that was always meant to be outdoors. She would thrive in an environment where she is the only pet and she could go inside of outside. She is an expert mouse catcher and would love to be a barn cat as she does not need much interaction but can be very sweet once she warms up to you. She is house trained, loves to play, and is mostly quiet. An experienced cat owner with a yard would love to have Zissou.

Story
This is Coco! She's a shy, sweet 5 year old Domestic Shorthair. She's from Canton, Ohio. She needs someone a little patient so she can get used to you and is a big cuddle bug. She was originally a stray but adapted to home life very quickly. She doesn't have any medical problems and is house trained.

Story
Star was found living on the streets and spent much of her early life surviving on her own, which made her cautious but also very resilient and resourceful. Since being brought inside, Star has adjusted to regular meals, shelter, and human interaction, and has shown a gentle, curious, and observant personality. She can be affectionate in her own way and continues to grow more comfortable with people over time. The decision to surrender Star is based on the understanding that she needs more time, resources, and consistent care than can be provided right now. This is being done to ensure she has the opportunity to be placed in a stable home where her needs can be fully met.
