Domestic Shorthair

Male, Young
Madison, TN
Size

Details
Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Apollo is a sweet and VERY handsome gentleman. He takes some time to warm up to you but if you can be patient, he will greet you with chirps and ask for pets 🖤 He is a pretty chill guy but will play with string, laser pointer, or wand toys if you’re offering! He is good with other cats (not sure about dogs). Since he is a shy boi, probably needs a quiet home with older kids/ adults only. He was found living outside with his siblings (Polly and Rocky) and is ready to live the indoor life!

Story
Stella is a 9 year old indoor cat who loves to nap in the sunlight. She is a sweet kitty but is slow to warm to new friends. She loves soft blankets and playing with hair ties. She would make a great pet in a home with no other animals and older children.

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Houdini has been living in our community for the past few months. My neighbor was feeding her but she moved a couple weeks ago and I’ve been taking care of Houdini in the meantime. Houdini has moved onto my porch and once she became comfortable with me, I discovered that she is extremely affectionate and friendly. I decided I wanted to bring her in since it’s getting cold so I took her to the vet and discovered that she has FIV. Unfortunately I cannot take her in because she could infect my cat. I’m hoping someone can take her in as she’s living outside and the temperature is dropping. She’s extremely sweet and loving and deserves a loving home.

Story
Tinky is a beautiful, friendly 2 year old male! He was a kitten I originally kept from a litter his mom had unexpectedly and I never imagined having to give him up. He has been a light in my home since he was born. He is very playful, house trained and has also found a new interest in exploring around outside. I still have his mom who he is very close to and I would hate to separate them but I have no choice. I am hoping to rehome both together but the mom has been very skittish around people who are not in our home in the past so that may not be an option for her. Please message for more information!

Story
My husband and I found her at a rest stop on our way back from visiting family in Idaho. We took her to Haley vet and got her checked for a chip (none), spay (not currently spayed - this is $50 at most shelters/humane societys), had vaccines done and general health check. She is healthy, 1-2 years old, and still has claws. She doesn't destroy, but uses the scratching post. We would prefer someone who would not declaw her, as it seems a bit barbaric. She would also do best as an indoor cat only. She is litter box trained and is very sweet, playful, and cuddly. Since my husband is allergic, she is left alone all night (not allowed in the bedroom) and we have not had any issues. She is food motivated, and mostly just a relaxed, curious, cuddly cat. Her extra food, litter, litter box, toys, cat tree, and any misc items will go with her. As for her current environment, we are a clean and non-smoking home.

Story
Keeps is such a sweet loving boy. He loves to cuddle and be held. He is playful and never plays too rough to hurt anyone. I’ve had him since he was two months old and he is now almost 9 months. I’m going into the military and I need to find a good home for him. Preferably a home with no kids, but with someone who loves a sweet, fun kitty.
