Story

Archer is a 1.5 yr old confident cuddle bug. He is kind, cuddly, intelligent, athletic, and the sweetest boy you will ever come across. He has the softest fur and the gentlest demeanor. He loves to curl up into your lap and purr until he’s asleep. He’d be great in a home with kids and space to roam around. He’s made so many of my friends who are scared of cats fall in love. Looking to rehome because I’m moving for work, and he’ll need more engagement that I can give him with my work schedule. My family who’s anti-cat thinks he’s the sweetest cat in the world.

Story

Cookie has been the family pet since she was old enough to come home at 8 weeks from the mother and father. Got her for the kids as a Christmas present December of 2021 (was born October 2021). Since then our family has unfortunately split. I still have Cookie but I’m severely allergic to cats. Though I’d love to keep her around for my daughter when she’s here, she is home alone most of the time while I’m at work. Cookie is a cat that loves attention, playing, cuddles, and affection. She needs a home and someone that can give her that. Preferably someone with time or a family that doesn’t mind the attention. She’s such a friendly family cat. She has never been outside of the house before (she’s terrified of the outside world other than the views). And will need shots/spayed. I’m not asking anything for her for a rehoming fee other than a reimbursement for the listing fee. Just someone’s love that’s going to be real and long lasting (we will check in..my kids will wonder).
