Story
Peewee is a very calm cat. He’s a very indoor cat he seems afraid of the outside world although sometimes he gets curious. He likes to sit out in the balcony and sun bathe. He’s very good with calm dogs and calm kids. If he’s approached by kids in an exciting / aggressive manner he will run and hide. Overall he’s super calm and loving. Likes to sleep a lot but he definitely needs a companion. He seems stressed out lately because I been leaving a lot. I work a lot and at first he didn’t seem to mind but now I’m realizing he wants more attention and maybe someone to play with. I would really appreciate if there is someone out there who can provide this type of care for peewee.

Story
Sandy is a British Shorthair cat who is looking for a new home. Although she isn't very cuddly and needs you to respect her personal space, she's very good and does not cause trouble. She's almost one year old (her birthday is May 29) and she is the last of her litter to be sold (3 sisters and 1 brother). Sandy is perfect for anyone who just wants a cat to chill with. Occasionally, however, she's up for a good scratch behind the ears.
