Story
Kitty is about 16 years old, and the sweetest little lady. We adopted her around age 2 as the children in the home she was living in developed allergies. We are heartbroken to be in a position to rehome her, but as she has gotten older and slower, our two younger cats bully her. She is not happy being kept in a separate part of the house, but is not safe to roam around freely because of how the other cats treat her. Based on this, we think she would do best in a situation where she is the only pet. She is up to date on shots and very healthy. She has lived exclusively indoors since we adopted her. She is so sweet and cuddly, and just loves to sleep in a quiet sunny window or on your lap. Please let us know if you think your home is the right fit for our sweet girl.

Story
I got Rimmy a little over two months ago, they said she was around 6-7. she seems like a really good cat however my other cat terrorizes her so shes very stressed out all the time. When my cat isnt around she gets very playful and I think she would do better as an only cat or to be homed with other older cats. Im not sure how she is with dogs however she gets overstimulated easily because she is a senior cat so she would probably do better in a quiet home. She doesnt like to be picked up.

Story
Scout was born to a feral mom, and has lived with us while looking for her forever family. She’s now an adult, almost five years old, and though all her siblings found homes, she’s still looking. Scout is super cute and has a little grey heart on her nose. She is sweet as can be and secretly goofy. Her favorite toy is an automatic laser made for cats, and she also enjoys carrying soft toys around and meowing.

Story
My ex adopted Moscato, white, & Merlot, black and gray (pictured in frame 3) when we lived together. She moved out and did not take the cats with her, and is not willing to take them with her. I have been caring for them, but will be moving soon and will not be able to bring the cats with me. Both cats are very sweet, and used to interacting with other animals, such as dogs. Moscato really enjoys tuna tubes, rubs, and will always find a spot on your chest for a nap. She may put up fuss for nail trims but is easily distracted with treats. She can be finicky about litter boxes. If it is not pristine she will find somewhere else for #2. Merlot, has no bathroom quirks, but nail trims are a hassle. Merlot is not as social as Moscato but will still let you rub her and pick her up. She is extremely comfortable with dogs, and has been caught sneaking into the dog crate for a nap. I would ideally like to keep both the cats together because they are comfortable with one another.
