Shamroxy

American Shorthair

Female, Young
Richmond, VA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Shamroxy (Shamrock+ Roxy) was recently adopted from a shelter, but due to extreme job requirements after the government shutdown and their lovely high energy nature, I can not realistically give the cat the care they need for the next year. She is about 5-6lbs and about 1 year and 3 months old. She is extremely affectionate and brave, she got settled into her current home immediately, and loves to speak. She loves to follow anyone most of the day wherever they go, and loves chasing feathered toys. She is fine being picked up for short periods of time, and is okay with her belly being rubbed a bit when she is not being playful. I am working with her to be fine with her paws being handled. To whoever adopts Roxy, I have everything the cat needs to be cared for that I will donate to the home that takes her in.

This beautiful boy right here his name is Simsim. It’s Arabic for sesame seeds! You know because he is the color of a sesame seed 😅 Anyways. He is active, playful and an indoor/outdoor cat. Loves to play fight with other cats. Loves toys and loves to eat! Please help me finding him a new home. I simply cannot afford having three cats anymore in this tough economy. Thank you 🩷🩵

Story
Meet Sugar – A Sweet, Loving Cat Looking for a New Home 🩷 This is Sugar. She’s been part of our family for about six years, and it breaks my heart to have to rehome her. I will be moving and can’t take her along with me. She was declawed before she came to us, so she’ll need to remain an indoor-only cat. She’s a gentle, affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and adores attention. Sugar is an older cat who enjoys quiet spaces, cozy naps, and being close to her favorite person. She’s very calm and easygoing, the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving friend. I just want her to go to a good home where she’ll be loved and cared for the way she deserves.

Story
Miiso is about a year old. In the picture I uploaded he was about a couple months old, he is a lot bigger now. He is house trained, it takes him a bit to get adjusted to new environments. He loves to sleep. I’m just hoping to find a better home for him, since I am a busy college student and can’t take care of him the way I wish I could or the way he deserves to be taken care of.
