Story
Taco can be pretty shy. He prefers quiet environments. Taco is currently homed with an older dog, and a younger cat. While he does get along with both, he definitely does not like other animals. He can be very territorial and prefers lots of space. When stressed, he can be aggressive. I've had him since he was a kitten, and I love him very much. I'm not in a hurry to rehome him, but if the right household came along, then I would love for him to be happy.

Story
I fell in love with these two sweethearts when I met them at Pets On Broadway in January. Mom (Little Rogue) is just under a year and a half, and baby boy (Pudge) is 4 months. They are bonded, keep each other busy with play, and do all the cute things together like cuddling and grooming. They are really cool cats: curious, chill, handle-able, playful, sweet, affectionate. I het a kick out of em, they can really run laps with the laser pointer. I love these 2 fuzzy lovebugs, but I have only had indoor/outdoor cats before and having them confined to my small apartment feels insufficient. I think they need a bigger home. They are very social and would like to he in family home with multiple people to love and bond with. I have wrestled with this conclusion for the last couple weeks, but I am committed to doing what's best for them. They love me but I know they would love more space.

Story
Meet Benny! A charming 3 year old neutered male cat who loves making biscuits and has a special fondness for boxes! Gets along with other dogs but does not like other cats. Loves sunbeams and chasing flies. Indoor cat - but would probably be totally fine with exploring the great outdoors. Totally house trained and is flexible with dry or wet cat food. Benny is a super chill cat and a great companion!

Story
We adopted ricky from the cat adoption team in Sherwood oregon when he was 8weeks old. He’s now 2 years old, and he is the biggest lover and needs a home with multiple cat lovers to snuggle him. I like to say he is aggressively loving. Are you looking for a cat to cuddle? He’s the perfect boy for you! He is a lap cat that still has some kitten vibes - gets the zoomies and loves to play! He’s so handsome and lovable, he’s a really good boy. He doesn’t get along with the other young cat in the house who tries to instigate fights. Ricky would probably do well with kids and an older/mellow cat or dog who doesn’t want to fight. Ricky is an indoor kitty and I’m hopeful that he’ll land in a home where he’ll stay inside. He’s a healthy young cat, and while I’m sad to let this lover go, I know he’ll be happier in a more peaceful home. I’ll be moving the end of the summer, so I’m hoping to find him a new home before then.

Story
The cat showed up on our deck before the cold weather set in January 2024, we caught it and brought into the house. Took it to the VCA vet, had it checked out and had its shots updated, because we have 2 cats at home and did not want any problems. We looked for lost cats, sent out pictures of the cat to see if any one is looking for it. Since or 2 cats do not get along with it, we want to rehome it o a good family. The cat is very personable and would like someone who will cuddle and pet it. The vet said it was approximately 2 yearns old. We are having it spayed on April 19, 2024.
