Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is sweet girl Layla. She is loving, and very cuddly! She adores sleeping on your chest and staying close to you all night long. Shes well behaved, never had aby accidents. She has been being fostered by me for about 3 months now. Her first owner had recently had her first child and couldnt take care of Layla any longer, so my fiance and I took her in. She was adopted by her first owner from Petsmart so she was thoroughly examined and vaccinated. As much as I wanted to keep Layla, we have already rescued 7 cats. Unfortunately our 7 cats do not get along well with her, regardless, she never instigates any fights or acts out. She just gets scared, so we have her set up in her own private room. She deserves to be happy and stress-free in her own forever home. ☺️

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Baby is a six years old Female Feline with black tail and calico spots. She is well behaved and do NOT scratch furniture but her own scratcher. She is very playful and lovely cat. she is trained and loves spending time on the balcony early morning. She was spayed in year 2020 but sadly she still has ovarian left out parts and she might need another removal surgery to prevent minor heat cycles. She used to live with another cat until last year. so she is very playful but now she is alone and feels lonely. When I adopted her at age of 1.5 years old, she injured one finger in her paw on the day of adoption ( she freaked out and hid inside the car hood) It can be fixed surgically if you choose to do so. She deserves to live in a decent home with another feline.
