Patches is a sweet old man to humans, but unfortunately he bullies the other cats aggressively. he’s was a total cuddler when we first got him but as he started to get to know the other cats things didn’t pan out. he loves to watch cartoons with us and sit on the edge of the bed. he’s never wanted to eat human foods but he is a baked goods connoisseur. he will try to steal them from you. you have been warned.

He enjoys being around people and absolutely loves to cuddle. Despite his high energy and friendly personality, Chaos thrives best in a calm environment where he can receive one-on-one attention.

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
Woody is a very friendly and handsome fellow, who loves his human friends but has trouble getting along with other cats and dogs, which is unfortunately why we need to re-home him. He is 9 years old (born in March 2016), and we've had him since he was about 8 weeks old, adopted from a friend of a friend. He is a gregarious and very social cat who loves attention and cuddles (he will sleep on your chest or in the crook of your arm if you let him!). He is currently an indoor/outdoor cat, and his ideal living scenario would allow him to roam freely, but he would probably be able to adapt to any environment that has some sort of outdoor access (i.e. a balcony or screened-in porch). If you're looking for your next best friend, Woody is ready to be showered in attention and snuggles -- he'd love to meet you! Nicknames: Woody Booger, Woodsy, The Woodster, Whippoorwill.

Story
Looking to rehome our two year old cat, Percy. Very friendly lap cat who loves to be around people of all ages. With small children, we simply don’t have the time to give Percy the affection he wants. We want to find somebody who can give him love in return. He’s your classic orange tabby (very curious and playful); he does well with children and other cats. He is neutered and up to date on annual appointments and vaccines. If you think he’s a good fit for you or your family, we would love to set up a meet and greet. Please feel free to reach out at jacobyw032@gmail.com.

This is Mikey. He is a lovable, indoor and outdoor cat. He gets along great with other cats and kids, but I’m not sure about other dogs. He is a playful, lovable, and cuddly cat. He is house trained, and there are no health issues with him at all. Please help me in giving Mikey a lovable home.
