Story
I have had Andi since she was a kitten. She is a well behaved cat and loves all the attention. She would do better in a single pet household. She has been with me for 11 years and has lived along side her mom as well but I moved into a new house a year ago with my boyfriend and we got a dog shortly after we moved. I knew that she was not fond of dogs but we got a puppy thinking they would adapt better that way. Since the move she has not been getting along with my other cat and she has not adjusted to the dog either. She has been going to the bathroom outside of the litter box for a while now and I feel like I have tried everything to help her and get her to stop. So I think she would be happier and do better in a new home with no other pets. She definitely loves all the attention she can get and loves to snuggle. She just doesn’t like other pets any longer and gets jealous and she does good with children but gets skittish around them and new people. But she has never been aggressive.

Story
Hello! This here is Saber. She is a very sweet and shy baby but needs to be rehomed due to peeing on things a lot. She has a health condition known as FLUTD as was diagnosed by our local vet. She is on liquid gabapentin long-term (aka probably for the rest of her life). She is also on special food from the brand Hills — she has a VERY sensitive stomach and this food is like the only thing that helps her. Due to her very shy and anxious nature, she pees a lot on clothes or blankets out of stress but it has gotten too much for us over the months. She needs a very quiet home, NO dogs because she fears them. Saber loves to meow a lot and yell for hours to get attention once comfortable with you. She is a little hunter and will catch any mice in the house. $100 will include Saber, her food, medicine (ofc), and favorite toys. I want someone with IMMENSE patience to take her in. She is also very scared of other cats but if you have friendly cats she will warm up eventually.

Story
Midnight was born on June 26th 2025. She is quiet and aloof, the perfect “low-maintenance” cat. She is shy at first but has grown more affectionate over time, but she shows her love in quiet ways. She will suddenly appear next to you in bed, quiet as a mouse, and relax with you. She is a kitten though, so she still has plenty of energy to run and play!

Story
Smokey is a beautiful young adult cat in need of a new home! She is an extremely loving girl and would love to cuddle up to you in bed on a cold winter night! She has had kittens but has since been spayed, is litter box trained, and has no behavioral problems. She is timid around loud noises and would most likely do best in an adult only home (or a home with older children) and would be a good single cat or would do well with one other cat. Smokey does not become aggressive around children but becomes visibly stressed when there is too much noise and action in the home. Smokey prefers to relax and snuggle with her favorite people rather than be in an action packed environment.

Gemera is a fun and spunky girl! She has all the energy in the world and loves to run and play! Gemera would do wonderfully in a home that already has a playmate for her, or a dedicated pet parent willing to provide proper stimulation to support her. Gemera loves children and would make a great family cat. She is a polydactyl, so she has extra toes, giving her super cute mittens on her feet!
