Story
This beautiful male kitten is very shy, he tends to Bolt (hence his name) at anytime. But when he is ready he will come to you for affection. He love meal time when he gets wet food (Sheba cuts in gravey). And he loves to play with cat springs, Lazer pointers and string.

Story
Chaos is a very loving cat. He loves to watch you cook, and loves to nudge you to remind you he is there. He reaches very positively to treats/food, and will follow you around if you have a cat tube. He is a timid cat at first but if you take your time then he will be your best friend.

Story
We’ve had Arlo since he was 3mons old. We was found as a single orphan, we co-adopted him with his “sister” Biscuit (who is also posted). He definitely thrives off LOTS of attention. While he does just fine left home few a days at a time, he really prefers to tag along! Great with children of all ages (really loves the pets from our toddler) and gets along dandy with other cats and dogs alike (so long as they like him). He is 6yo, his birthdate is 3/20/20. He is a wonderful cat, and is being rehomed by no fault of his own. Our new dog just cannot see them as anything other than prey items. We’ve tried everything even had a trainer try to help…no success☹️ Him and Biscuit deserve to be in a home where they can have freedom and unlimited human interaction, which we no longer can give them due to the situation.NOTE: all potential adopters will be screened and asked to meet prior to final rehome (can be video)Although they should do just fine, we’d prefer both Arlo and Biscuit go together

Story
We’ve had Biscuit since she was 3mons old. We co-adopted her with her “brother” Arlo (who is also posted). She is an absolute goof, with her silly quirks. Although she’d do just fine with another cat, she REALLY likes dogs (see photo). She (we) has been heartbroken since I lost my mal mix of 16yrs this last Nov. She is really great with children of all ages (loves the pets from our toddler, following her around the house). She is 6yo, her birthdate is 3/8/20. She is a wonderful cat, and is being rehomed by no fault of her own. Our new dog just cannot see them as anything other than prey items. We’ve tried everything even had a trainer try to help…no success☹️ Her and Arlo deserve to be in a home where they can have freedom and unlimited human interaction, which we no longer can give them due to the situation.NOTE: all potential adopters will be screened and asked to meet prior to final rehome (can be video)Although they should do just fine, we’d prefer both Biscuit and Arlo go together

Story
My baby boys name is walle. I adopted him when he was 2 months old. He's about 5 years old now, he's genuinely sweet and playful. But he has some play aggression issues or territorial issues. I genuinely think he would function better with companionship with another cat. I've had a dog in the past and he swatted at her regularly and she was a very submissive shy dog. I don't have the finances to get another animal and my roommate is allergic to my cat as it is. I live with two other people and walle is especially very "hunting/praying" on my boyfriend who lives with us. Constantly attacking him on a day to day basis. This has been going on for 8 months. I've spent at least $600 in the past few months on treats toys perches etc to try and maybe redirect this aggression elsewhere but it just has reached to a point of failure. His favorite toys growing up and still is stuffed animals.. he "grooms" them regularly and cuddles with them. I have a theory he'd do well with another cat.
