Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mr. Black was born in my yard with 2 brothers and a sister 8 yrs ago. I was able to trap and neuter and spay him, mother, sister, and one brother. He is a large, mostly white cat w/black spots, and has been an outside cat all of his life. I have insulated boxes for the 3 who remained with me, and have a heater inside a large shed, where they can stay inside their boxes near the heater, and come and go to the back yard as they like. Unfortunately, I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and I'm trying to rehome my cats before I get to the point that I can no longer care for them. Mr. Black is socialized to me, although he is still skittish around other people. I love on him every time I see him, and he comes to me wanting to be loved on. Separation and a slow introduction to other cats would be best. I feel he would be able to acclimate to other cats. I have an indoor/outdoor female cat that he has gotten used to being around, no longer considers her an outsider.

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Romeo showed up during a bitter winter. Initially, I thought she was male, thus her name. She is a very small cat, which I think is the result of malnourishment during development. Romeo has been with me about 5 yrs, and is fully grown but is very small. She is docile for the most part, unless she feels threatened, so a slow introduction to other cats and dogs is essential. Romeo acclimated to 2 sisters in our home, which took about 6 months total. Now those sisters are deceased, and she is currently my only inside/outside cat. When Romeo started coming around, it was clear that she had an extreme upper respiratory infection, which she will carry the rest of her life. About 2 years ago, a severe infection required a vet visit and a round of antibiotics, but once through with that, she bounced back very well. Romeo is playful and very social with humans. I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and need to rehome my cats before I can no longer care for them.

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Naomi is a sweet old lady who is looking for a place to be loved and spoiled in her golden years. Unfortunately I can no longer give that to her. I adopted Naomi in 2016 from Angels of Assisi. She is anywhere from 11 to 14 years old.She's extremely sweet and loves sleeping next to or on top of her people. Ear scratches and chin rubs are her favorite.Naomi has very few teeth left but that doesn't stop her from wanting to eat dry kibble whole. She isn't a fan of wet food but enjoys churu. She won't eat seafood but adores turkey.Naomi is extremely territorial and does not like other cats and is very picky about dogs. She seems weary of children.Will not adopt her out to anyone who allow her to be an outside cat. She has been an exclusively inside cat the entire time I've owned her.All of Naomi's things are included in adoption including vet documents, food, toys, carrier, and litter box (if desired).

Love Bug has been an outside cat all of his life. I have insulated boxes for the three who remained with me, and have a heater inside of a large shed, where they can stay inside their boxes near the heater, and come and go to the back yard as they like. I tried to get them into a local no kill shelter when they were still kittens, but everyone was full. The local animal shelter now immediately euthanizes cats and dogs if they are owner surrendered. Unfortunately, I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and I'm trying to rehome my cats before I get to the point that I can no longer care for them. Love Bug has been in my house some, as well as in others' houses. He is sociable, loving, and very passive with other cats. I think he would adapt to home life well. Thank you.
