Story
Oreo was a stray when we picked her up. Life as a stray was hard for her. Clipped ear to denote spaying, crushed paw from seeking warmth in an engine block, used as a bait vehicle for hounds to chase. Despite this, she's always been affectionate and took to domesticated life happily. Now, after a decade of being the best cat we've ever had, she needs a new home. She's used to a house with another cat, someone home most of the time, including children aging from newborns to teenagers, and a backyard to explore; things I can no longer provide from my small, second floor apartment while I'm gone 11-12 hours daily during the week and out of town at least one weekend.

Story
Phoebe needs a new home, as I can no longer care for her. I adopted her when she was a couple months old from the Dane County Humane Society, which was about 11 years ago. She is on a Hydrolyzed Protein Diet that her body does very well on. She used to be on a high fiber diet due to IBS. Other than that she is a very healthy little lady. She will probably be shy initially since I have been her only care giver. I love her very much and can't care for her like she deserves. I'm looking for a loving home that she can enjoy for however many years she has left in this world. I do not want her to go to a shelter, especially with her being (considered) "older" :)

Story
Turnip is a sweet, sensitive cat who thrives in a calm, quiet home. She prefers a household with one or two adults. She’s not a fan of chaos or loud environments—construction noise, in particular, causes her a lot of stress. Personality & Ideal Home: Turnip is affectionate on her own terms. She’s not one to come when called, but when she chooses you, she’s incredibly loving and loyal. She would do best with someone who works from home or is retired and can be available when she wants company—but who also respects her independence. Important Notes: • When feeling stressed, Turnip may sometimes urinate outside of her litter box. • The ongoing home construction has been difficult for her and is contributing to her stress. • We are looking for a calm, low-stress forever home where she can feel safe, relaxed, and happy again as we prepare to welcome a baby If you’re a quiet person looking for a calm, gentle companion and can offer a peaceful home, Turnip might be a great match for you.

Story
Rowdy is a perfectly loveable cat. He is calm, playful, and enjoys being around people. He came to me from the Humane Society. When he was found by them he had been living outside in a small cage for a month. His treatment left him a bit careful about giving his love to someone, but he very quickly got over that once he left the shelter. He doesn't like to be picked up but he does love to sit on a lap or next to you on the sofa/bed. He is very playful and his favorite toy is a stick with strings being dragged across the floor. He has a quiet meow but a loud purr. I would very much like to keep him, but my cat will not accept him despite a lot of effort on my part to change that. Rowdy is not aggressive and has lived with other cats in the past. Rowdy is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
White and black are beautiful cats that need a new home. They come as a package deal. They are about 5 years old. They get along very well together and with our dog. Black will once in awhile hiss at the dog but tolerates him OK. White is very loving and likes to cuddle and talk. Black loves to be on your lap all the time. She doesn’t have a sensitive tail so doesn’t like it rubbed a lot. They will play a little but mostly love to lay and cuddle. They would love to meet you!!
