Yamma and Nuna were adopted in 2017 when they were only a few months old. They shared the same shelter room when we first picked them up and have been part of our family for the past 7 years. They’re both extremely friendly, love people and will purr close to non-stop when they’re next to you.

🐾 Looking for a Forever Home for Two Adorable Cats 🐾 We are sadly rehoming our two beloved cats, Hunter and Fe, due to our new job and growing family. Hunter is a smart, sweet, and outgoing tuxedo male, while Fe is a shy but sweet Siamese female. Hunter is incredibly affectionate, good with other cats and kids, and loves to be the center of attention. He is fixed and well behaved, NO funiture spraying or house marking. Fe, on the other hand, prefers to observe from afar but enjoys occasional cuddles and rubs. As much as it breaks our hearts to part with them, our busy schedules make it challenging to give them the attention and care they deserve. They are bonded at birth and have been inseparable, so we hope to find them a loving forever home together if possible. Adoption Details: Hunter: $30 Fe: $50 Both (together): $65 Please reach out if you can provide these sweet cats with the loving home they deserve. Thank you! 🐱💕

Hi, looking someone to adopt my cat. Her name is Janice. Around a year and a half old. Up to date vaccines, and spayed. She will be very shy at first, please be patient and give more love to her, then she will be sweet for you. The reason why I rehome her because my other cat can get along with her. She got some wounds on her head and neck(didn’t show on these pictures). She is in the quarantine and get much better, she is waiting the wound area to grow hair again now. However, she is not aggressive to other cats, my other cat didn’t get injures. So, if you have other friendly cats at home, still good for her. I will give her rest of food and kennel if you want. Please pm me for more details if you’re interested.

Story
Hello! My name is  Percy . I am looking for my very own family. I am a sweet and friendly young cat. I am just about a year young. I love toys and people. I currently live with dogs and cats. I am a special needs kitten.  &#226&#128&#139I don't really know why my back legs are paralyzed, but I promise you I don't let that stop me!!  I would love someone willing to help me with daily functions.  I need to be expressed.  Don't let that scare you.  It is pretty easy to accomplish.  I am most comfortable when I am expressed multiple times a day.  At night, I am comfortable wearing a diaper.  I usually cooperate when it is time to express and stimulate my bowels if you can catch me!!  I love my cat perch and have no problem climbing it.  They named me Percy, which is short for perseverance.  I have never let any challenges get in my way!!   I would love to meet YOU. Our Adoption fee is reduced to $105 for Special Needs Cats.   For adoption consideration or to meet our kittens , please complete our online application:   www.everypetsdream.org/adopt and  we will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:  Facebook  and  Instagram   April 11, 2024, 5:29 pm
