Story
Artemis is 3 years old. She is shy, but extremely affectionate and loving. She has benn raised alone, but would likely benefit from some feline companionship. She is still very playful. She has been indoor only, but has enjoyed time on the other side of an open screened window. I suffer from several disabilities, that has limited the amount of attention and playtime I can give her. She is a wonderful cat and deserves a loving home. Please help me find her the forever home she deserves.

Story
We adopted Jekyll (we call him Doc) and his brother Hyde (who we call Steven) about two years ago. They are a bonded pair and should remain together, therefore we are listing them both together. They are both very cuddly and adorable, but they just don't get along with our other animals. They do get a little rambunctious but they are so sweet. They're both good with kids, other cats and dogs (I think our issue is more personality based rather than behavioral).

Story
Rosa is simply the best! She is a lap sitter, couch lover, head butt giver and just all around amazing cat. You should see her play and jump as high as the sky for her toys. If you meet her, you will love her. Her coat is silky smooth and therapy to touch. She likes other cats and her sister Harriett if you are looking for a pair. If not, she will do well in a family that has lots of time and love to give her.https://youtube.com/shorts/OTZ1GytyMow?feature=sharedShe is available to meet at Cat Tales Cat Cafe!

Chester is a beautiful orange tabby boy with a kind soul. He ADORES other cats and will be happiest in a home with feline friends. He can be a little sensitive when first being approached but once you make friends with this handsome fellow you are good to go! He even likes belly pets and all the scritches when he is comfortable. With a little patience and a lot of love, you're sure to be rewarded! He will thrive in a relatively quiet home with kitty friends.
