Story
Yuki is a 7 year old tortoiseshell. She can be a bit standoffish at first but once she warms up to you she can be a real cuddlebug. She loves to play with the feathers on a stick and pretty much any toy with feathers. She does have the tortie spice though!

Story
Rosie is an adorable tiny black cat. She's incredibly social and friendly to the point that you might question her survival instincts. She'll nuzzle up to any stranger, with or without treats (but especially with treats). She's very cuddly, often wanting to sit on your lap while you're watching TV or under your arm as you go to bed. You can pick her up and cradle her without any complaints. Vets have left comments about how much they love her. She has a few medical conditions such as skin allergies, bladder stones, and anxiety. She requires special diet and medications as a result, but she's tough enough to make it through all that with plenty of love left over to give her owners. Rosie has experience living with another cat, namely her adopted sister Daisy. The two are lightly bonded and get along well.

Story
Daisy is a 6 year old domestic short hair gray tabby. She's shy and nervous at first - it takes some time for her to feel comfortable with you, but it's worth the wait. Once she warms up to people, but she's a princess. Very polite and proper, she'll wait for you to guide her onto your lap for cuddles. She's chatty but soft spoken, communicating mainly in squeaks and chirps. You can expect to have a conversation with her at least once a day. She's well behaved, smart enough to know when she's done something wrong, and will pick up on your queues. She's an absolute sweetheart, but even more so once you learn how she likes to be loved. Daisy has experience living with another cat, namely her adopted sister Rosie. The two are lightly bonded and get along well.

Emma is super affectionate and plays well with other cats Shes adventurous and like going outside and doesn't run off but will explore. She's almost silver in some lighting. My heart hurts that I have to let her go and I only hope to find her the best home possible. She requires a high fiber diet. Absolutely loves water and will get in the shower with you if you let her. She's the softest cat ever litterly. She was born on 09/06/2018. She is microchiped and has her front claws removed.

Story
I need to rehome my cats Mina and ViVi. They are a bonded pair, but this page doesn't allow me to post 2 pets at once so for the two of them would be $100. VIvi is a male. Mina is 8 with a January 1st birthdate and ViVi is 7 with an August 8th birthdate. ViVi does territorial live bites, and Mina responds to Mimimimimi! They are loveable, they are declawed and indoors only. Spayed an neutered. I can only take one pet with me into my low income housing, so this was a difficult decision for me. Please contact me with anyone interested. Thank you.

Name: AshleyBreed: ShorthairDOB: 07/29/2021Good with kids: YesGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: YesFoster location: Milwaukee, WI Adoption fee: $25 eachFun Bio: Mary Kate & Ashley are twin girls who are BEYOND ready for their forever home! They have been waiting for their forever story now since September of 2021! They have quite literally grown up in foster care, and were adopted once but kept in a laundry room then returned for not being social enough. These girls may be shy, they may be more timid than most want, but they are NOT meant for the outdoor life. They are far too big of divas! They LOVE to play their kitty games on the iPad. They love snoozing in the comfiest spots. These posh girls just need a place to call their own. They are extremely friendly with other kitties but will hide from dogs. They will take time to warm up, but with the right adopter we know you will love them!!! To try and find the perfect home we are willing to give an exceptional adoption discount so PLEASE inquire today! If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip.Anti-Declawing Policy:All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!  Declawing is a series of bone amputations.  Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies.  In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputates so the claw cannot re-grow.  Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine.  Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint.  Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger. Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner.  There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw.Declawing can lead to behavior changes.  A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often.  Due to pain, they may stop using the litterbox. There are humane alternatives to declawing.  Cats can be trained to use scratching posts.  They should have their nails trimmed regularly.  There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there.  There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat’s nails without harm.  ##1214821##
