Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I adopted Noche to keep my other cat company. Noche is extremely anxious and scared, doesn't like the litterbox and pees wherever she feels like it. She wants to be petted but is to nervous to stay put. I feel she would be better in an exclusive home, or to be able to be and outdoor/indoor cat. Maybe she will do better taking something for anxiety, but I am unable to do this.

Story
Meet Maxine, a resilient cat who faced a challenging start in life, but with the support of her foster mom, she transformed into a wonderful feline friend. Max's early days were tough, but her foster mom showered her with love and care, turning her life around and providing a warm and nurturing environment. Possessing the typical independent nature of cats, Max displayed a mind of her own, exploring her surroundings with curiosity and a hint of mischief. Despite her independent streak, Max had a sweet side, surprising everyone by transforming into a snuggle bug when the mood struck, showcasing her affectionate and loving nature. Max's journey from a rough beginning to a delightful and loving cat is a testament to the transformative power of care and compassion in the lives of our furry friends. This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $150.

Meet Gruyere! This cutie has a sturdy and firm temperament with a slight cheesy nature. Named after cheeses Gruyere and her sister Colby are ready to be adopted by loving families! These darling sisters came from a cat colony and are still discovering trust and love. Shy but oh-so-sweet, they thrive in tranquil environments. Gruyere is extremely shy and would do best with an owner who understands this. She would make a great barn cat due to her shyness and slow-moving nature around humans. ONLY AVAILABLE IN TEXAS This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $100.

Meet Colby! This darling girl is a mild but sweet cat looking for a special family to join. Colby and her sister Gruyere come from a cat colony and are extremely shy. They will need owners who know that they'll need a great amount of patience and understanding, as they both tend to come around slowly. Colby would do great as a barn cat for these reasons! ONLY AVAILABLE IN TEXAS This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $100.
