Story
🐱 Meet Graham Cracker! 🐱 Graham Cracker is a beautiful grey tabby with a gentle soul and a playful heart. She came to us from Ozarks Pet Rescue, and now she’s ready to find her very own forever home. She may take a little time to warm up and prefers to do things at her own pace, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet personality shines through. Like most young cats, Graham Cracker loves to play, chase her toys, and show off her silly side—then curl up for a cozy nap afterward. She’s the perfect balance of fun and relaxation! Graham Cracker would do best in a patient, loving home that will give her the time and space she needs to feel safe and confident. In return, she’ll reward you with quiet companionship, soft purrs, and plenty of adorable moments. If you’re looking for a gentle, playful kitty who will blossom with love, Graham Cracker may be the perfect match for you!

Story
Meeto is an incredibly sweet and gentle 12‑year‑old orange tabby with a wonderfully calm demeanor. He loves receiving pets and being near his humans, but he’s never demanding or clingy — the perfect fit if you want a relaxed, affectionate cat who also respects your space. This loving boy originally came from a shelter, but after his adopter sadly passed away, Meeto once again finds himself searching for a place to call home. He’s hoping to spend his golden years with someone who will cherish him as much as he’ll cherish you. Meeto does have a urinary tract condition, which simply requires him to stay on a specific diet to keep him comfortable and healthy. He follows it well and is otherwise a happy, easygoing guy. He is chipped and also is up to date with his shots. If you’re looking for a mellow, sweet‑natured companion who will bring warmth, comfort, and gentle affection into your life, Meeto might be your perfect match.

Story
This Scar! He’s a 2 year old certified big boy!! He really is the best boy, we moved into a house from an apartment and he has just not been liking it. He did run away at the age of 1 and every since then it has been an absolute fight to keep him indoors. Where we moved has too many stray/barn cats and they are truly disturbing his peace. He has NEVER been a cat to not use his litter box. This cat used the litter box once with no litter in it. Once we moved and the cats started coming around to see him he started peeing. He has since stopped this issue as we are VERY cautious and follow lots of rules. He is however very picky about his litter boxes. He has two just in the room he currently spends most of his time in. He will pee in anything that resembles a litter box if you don’t keep up with the box. He is NOT cat friendly. He has been attacked by two cats and doesn’t do well with them. He is an active boy and boy does he love to talk!He loves to open doors also! He’s very smart.

Story
Izzy and Duncan are brother and sister and a bonded pair. Izzy, female, is the grey and white cat. Duncan, male, is the all grey. We adopted them from the humane society at 2 months old. Izzy is active and playful, Duncan is a little lazy! He loves to flop around the house. Both love to snuggle and are patient with kids. They are now 2 years old. We are rehoming them due to having issues with Izzy peeing around the house on occasion. They also have clawed up furniture and we just can’t keep up with keeping their nails trimmed well enough to prevent it. They are very sweet, and my kids will be so sad to see them go. We are happy to pass along litter boxes, litter, water fountain, food bowls, and whatever food and treats we have on hand.

Story
I will start by saying Charcoal is a great and loveable cat under the right conditions. When we are alone with no other cats around, he is the most attention starved cat on the planet. He's shy around strangers so he takes time to warm up to people. We got him when he was about a month old back in October 2020 from a family friend. Things started out fine. We got him fixed as soon as the vet gave the go ahead to avoid the very issue we have now. He acts as if he's never been fixed. He fights all our female cats, (tolerates the males?) and worse of all, he's marking everywhere. We've taken him to the vet, nothing wrong. We tried pheromone diffusers and collars, nothing improved. Judging by his behavior when we are alone with him, we have come to the hard decision that our house might just be stressing him out too much. He might just not like other cats as we never see him playing with anyone.
