Story
Ernie is 7 years old and was raised by a golden retriever and a black lab. He truly actors like a dog, knows his name and will come when called. He is a polydactyl (Ernest hemmingway descendant) and has claws. He does not use them on our furniture. He willingly lets us clip his nails . My wife and I changed careers and we unfortunately don’t have time to give him the care he needs. You will absolutely love him. He deserves a good home

Story
Moses is an adult male cat that is sweet and hard to have to re-home him. The problem is I work double shifts and dont give him the attention he needs. Moses loves to be held, he will let you know when he wants to be petted or held by climbing into your lap. He loves his neck and cheeks scratched. He purrs very easy. My boyfriends dog came over once time and Moses was terrified, his fur stood up and he ran away and hid. We didn't have the dog over any more when we realized how scary it was for him. He is not used to being around other cats, although he was with another cat for a month (i took a kitten in for a friend) and it went ok. Moses was not thrilled about the new kitten, however did tolerate it and didn't hiss at the cat. Moses plays with me and my two boys, so definitely good with kids. Moses loves to fetch little yellow balls. When you throw a little styrophone ball he will chase it and grab it in his teeth and bring it back to you. He will wait for you to throw it again.

Story
Fat Louie is a very calm, quiet cat 7 year old cat. She is not active unless motivated. I adopted Fat Louie from my friend and she lived with me for sometime now. She wasn't spayed until she was almost 3 and she became my pet at 4 years of age. We have moved from Virginia to Illinois and I feel that my fast lifestyle is a bit much for her. She loves to be around her parent daily and I am not around enough for her. I feel she has anxiety from her previous owner. Fat Louie is very reserved and open to meeting new people but she doesn't like other animals. She does live with her other adopted sister Bailey but they do not get along. She needs a normal same routine daily. Change is not appealing to her. She naps and does the same activities daily and her new parent needs to be ready to give her a lot of attention. She likes to be under you at all times.

Story
I have a bonded pair, a brother and sister 6 1/2 years old both micro chipped. I have original paperwork from the adoption center. This is the sweetest cat- Indoor for his entire life. He is very affectionate, no behavioral, or bathroom issues. If it wasn’t for the severe allergies of my spouse ( newly married) I would keep him forever. He’s the best! His sister is amazing and I’m looking for someone who would love attentive, affectionate cats. The ones who don’t mind being held or being right next to you!
