Story
Max found her way to my door screaming and crying for food and to be let inside. She was fine with humans which led me to believe she had an owner, maybe she was lost. Found the owner on a local rehoming cat page. Turns out he moved and abandoned her, leaving her to starve. Her ribs and hip bones were showing. Poor girl just wanted food and shelter. From the post, we know her name is Max (we call her Maxine) and she is 5 years old. We are assuming that she was abused or mistreated because she doesn’t like to be handled roughly and is very picky on how she can be pet. She will bite you if you pet her wrong. We had to transition her outside (bc we have a new foster cat) and she really does not like it outside. She prefers indoors. With all this being said, she is the easiest cat I’ve ever taken care of. She wants attention for 5 mins then will do her own thing. She does prefer soft food, she mainly eats and sleeps. She uses the litter box (has never had an accident since we found her)!

Story
We have a cat named Juniper, Junie for short, that needs a home. She is excellent with children, adults, and other cats, has all of her shots, is fixed, and would be an excellent addition to anyones home. We found her at a gas station and have been fostering her ever since. She has the cutest, crunchy meow, loves to slow blink at you, and loves to cuddle and play. A cute quirk about her is she has a paralyzed tail. This has been checked out by the vet and has a clean bill of health with no issues stemming from her tail. Just something that sets her apart from other cats!

Story
I adopted Toffee from an animal shelter in Texas when I had lived there. We currently reside in the 337 area of Louisiana. He is about 13 lbs, and the shelter said he’s about 4-5 years old. He is neutered. He is a very sweet boy, super calm and stays to himself most of the time. He knows his name and comes when called, especially if you shake a bit of food in his bowl. He is the opposite of aggressive, super gentle and loves neck scratches or belly rubs. We’ve never had an instance where he has tried to bite us or hiss at us. He’s a bit shy to new people but warms up pretty quick with treats and some gentle love. He doesn’t get into anything or scratch up furniture. We’re looking to find him a home where he can be properly cared for. He’s got some allergies that couldn’t be verified by multiple vets and we cannot afford to dish out anymore money for him unfortunately. He will come with a bag of food, litter box, bedding, as well as tube treats and wet cat food. Someone please help us:(
