Story
Dobby is a very special cat who means the world to us. We adopted him from Morocco when he was just a tiny kitten, and he came into our lives at 6 weeks old. From the beginning, he’s been full of energy, curiosity, and playfulness, and he’s brought us so much joy. This decision is truly heartbreaking for us, but we’ve realized that our home isn’t the right fit for Dobby. We have two older cats who are struggling to handle his high energy and strong personality, and it’s created a challenging environment for everyone. Dobby deserves a home where he can truly thrive—a place with lots of space and people who can match his playful spirit and give him the attention he needs. Dobby loves people and has so much affection to give. He’s litter trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. We’re looking for a home with someone experienced with cats, who understands his energetic personality and can provide the right environment for him to be happy. We love Dobby more than words can say,

Story
Mow Wow, the cat, has been very well loved and cared for in our home since 2016 (her birth). We received her from a family friend’s cat that had kittens. Mow Wow is deaf but loves the vibration of drums, cuddles, and a window to look out of in the home. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats and have been on multiple meds to try to keep the cat, but I am getting worse.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chet is a timid, but playful boy who is still getting used to being around people. He loves his best friend, Aquiles, who he met at the shelter, and they must be adopted out together. Chet has been diagnosed with asthma and has a little kitty inhaler that he currently takes daily. Despite his shyness, Chet has been fairly easy to medicate. Depending on air quality and his own anxiety, he may not need the inhaler long-term. Chet is so handsome and with a calm environment and patience will be a wonderful addition to a home, especially with his brave buddy, Aquiles to give him confidence.
