Story
Mao Mao is a friendly almost 18 lb gray cat. Her favorite thing to do is sit and watch things outside and watch the birds. She likes to be indoors and outdoors. Litter box trained. Mouser. She's having some issues with stress in the house and it is causing her to pee on our furniture and bed. But again she is a very sweet thing and we're hoping somebody will give her a good home. She loves to snuggle my son's and will cozy up on the blanket if someone is sitting there with a blanket. She loves catnip and boxes and just to be around people.

Story
Stella is a beautiful Sealpoint Siamese. She has had a tough background and, at times, left for days by herself without food in shelter. My coworker walk a dog at the shelter and heard the cat crying. She was all by herself in a messy, dirty room. She befriended the cat and asked if I would adopt her. I have 3 other cats, and really was unsure, but she was suffering in that shelter. I brought her home and gave her a private room with a high gate. It took her about a month to somewhat trust us. Now, she is out of the room about 10 hours a day. She loves to be pet and play with a toy wand. However, she attacks both of my cats. I did the proper introduction for both cats and thought it would change over time but it's getting worse. She rubs against everything and lives to be pet and purrs, but, at times, she swipes my hand or when I'm walking attacks my leg. She hisses .when she gets over stimulated. She definitely needs someone with no cats and patience.
