Story
I adopted her from the Janesville Humane Society. She is just a little over 1 year old. She is very playful and outgoing and confident. She purrs a lot. Super sweet and loving. Likes to be around people, watch out the windows, and about twice a day does the zoomies to express her energy. She loves to hide in the 3 part nylon tube while I dangle the wand with feathers. The only reason I’m rehoming is she will nip at my legs, I believe as a way to communicate and get attention. She follows me around and likes to be in the same room, when she isn’t napping. I’m hoping someone who isn’t afraid of her nips can help her learn that is not acceptable.

Story
Luna is a sweet, affectionate, playful girl. She loves toys and loves snuggling even more. She is the kind of kitty that likes to cuddle close the moment you sit down. Give her a sunny spot during the day for the happiest girl! Another amazing Luna trait: Her patience is such that she even allows you to clip her claws without a fuss! She also LOVES a scratching post and we would provide two along with her adoption, plus a few months’ food, litter boxes, and food dishes if desired. We adopted Luna and her brother as kittens, and they both unfortunately developed urinating issues when we had our first baby. Her brother’s were much worse, and he was successfully rehomed after we had our second baby. We now have two children and have basically eliminated Luna’s issues. However, we would still love to provide a loving, young-child-free home for our sweet girl. She deserves to be happy and comfortable, though we will be devastated to lose her.

Fiora was adopted from MADACC in February. She is friendly, snuggly, and very high energy. She loves to play and loves people! Be prepared for a bed partner. She has gabapentin to help calm her before clipping nails, but otherwise has a good temperment and no health concerns. Please contact me with any questions.

Story
Bubba is a young 7 month old petite amazing cat. He loves people and to give and get affection. He will curl into your lap and sit on your chest too. If you are lucky he will even hop up on your should and pretend he is a parrot. And boy does he purr like crazy when he sees you. He adores playing especially with a wand toy or a stuffed animal he can bunny kick. This being said he does like to be independent at times when he looks out the window or is napping in the mid day. He is very chill and one of the lowest maintenance cats ever. An interesting note about Bubba is that instead of meowing he trills (like a cat hum). It is very cute because you can have a convo with him while he trills. He would be ok as an only cat but would also be ok with having a brother or sister he can play with and learn from as well. Bubba would fit just great into your home! The reason i am rehoming him is that i want him to live his best life in a home that could offer him the attention he deserves.

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.

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

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!

Story
Pippin and Squeaks are a bonded pair. Pippin is a lovely calico kitty and Squeaks is a striking black cat. Pippin is estimated to be 6 years old and Squeaks 11. They are both FIV+ but don't let that diagnosis fool you. They are active, curious cats who, while a bit shy at first, but warm up to new people and are snugly and playful once they get to know you. They are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. Their owner recently had a significant change in life circumstances and is no longer able to keep them.
