Story
This guy lives in the apartment complexes I am supervisor at. He is a wonderful guy. The tenants feed him but can't have him inside. He let's me pick him up. So I think he was dropped there. He follows me on my daily walks. I really hope to get him a forever family for Christmas. I know you will fall in love with him. Thanks in advanced.

Story
Bird is the sweetest cat you'll ever meet, however the older she gets the more my young children stress her out. She's about 5-6 years old and is super loving. Sher strive in an only pet household. She's been stressed for about 3 years and is developing some health issues and vet recommends removing the stress from her life and the only way I can do that is to offer her a less stressful home. Someone please help her. Will give you food, litter box, etc. Only cat I've ever met that gives hugs. She'll love you so much.

Story
Someone dumped Rosie and her sister (Midnight) when they were kittens and they came straight to my door and meowed the saddest meows ever heard. I let them in. That was 10 years ago. Due to health issues, finances and our living situation I need to find a home for Rosie. Rosie can get along with other cats but it really depends on the other cat/s. Rosie gets along well with children, people, dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits. Rosie and Midnight have been together their whole lives. I do believe they can be separated as they are not that close anymore. Rosie is very gentle and will put her paws on your lap or arm to get attention. Rosie has the softest meow and is part mainecoon and has all the mainecoon traits. Rosie's color is tortoise with one butterscotch paw. She would do well going straight to someone's arms, but would not do well in a shelter. I want someone who can give her a forever home. She is 10 - 12 years old and has no health problems. She likes riding on the dashboard.

I do believe they can be separated as they are not that close anymore. Midnight is very affectionate and will follow you from room to room. I would say she is needy. She also has anxiety because I can not pet her unless I wash my hands immediately as I am allergic to cats. I believe this has contributed to her anxiety. While she can get along with other cats she would like to be the only cat. She is happy with other types of animals. She would like lots of attention and affection and will sleep on you.

Misty

American Shorthair

Female, Adult
Murphysboro, IL
Size

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Misty is a darling kitty, blind in one eye but doesn't look it. When a kitten, she had, according to the vet, congestive heart failure, causing serious respiratory problems. Vet gave her a cortisone shot; he said she would keep needing more shots, and that the condition would nonetheless eventually be fatal. But her "brother" Dart stepped in and parented and cuddled her, sleeping with her. Now she is the most athletic of the cats, leaping 10 feet from the microwave to the fridge. She'll stand and look at me for hours, fading into the background, absorbed in her relationship with me. I'll stand there as if looking in a mirror, then we'll turn and be side by side.
