Story
Arnold is a 3 year-old black cat I previously rescued. He is energetic, spunky, curious, and super cuddly when he gets to know you. Due to the fact he was abandoned as a kitten, he does eat anything he can get into, so you just need to be careful with leaving out food (he will try to eat most human food). He also can get a bit restless at night, so I have crate-trained him and he sleeps in a crate every night when we all go to bed. The reason I am looking to rehome Arnold is that I am going to be moving into a new house with my girlfriend, and she is very allergic to cats. As difficult as the situation is and as much as I love Arnold, I know he needs to find a new loving home. I am only going to rehome him if I can find someone to adopt him and his brother Oscar (tabby cat pictured). They are a bonded pair, and they are best buddies and brothers. They would do best in a home where humans are around regularly, as they are both very social.

Story
Hi! My name is Oliver and my foster mom tells me that I am a handsome boy who is sure to win your heart!! I used to live outside until I wandered up on my foster mom's doorstep. She was nice enough to feed me and allow me to come inside and out of the cold. At first, I was shy and skittish. Every sound and new room was scary. But now, I love running around, chasing feathers, and playing with the resident cats. My mom says she is amazed at how acrobatic I am. I also love getting attention and lots of pets and scratches behind my ears. And at night, I love sleeping right next to my humans. Unfortunately, I tested positive for FIV, which means my immune system is a bit compromised. As long as I stay strong and healthy, I am a happy cat! I love living at my foster home, but it is a bit crowded, and I would love to find my own family!! If you think I would be a great fit for your home, I would be furrever grateful. I'll even give you head bumps and kitty kisses everday!

Story
We love Tom. We adopted him six months ago from a family who had a litter of six kittens and was moving. The other kittens were taken to the Humane Society. I really wanted to adopt at least one of the cats, but this experience has become more of a financial burden and responsibility than I was expecting. Right now, I have to focus on work to support myself, which makes it difficult to fulfill Tom’s needs as I had hoped.

Story
Harmony takes a while to warm up to new people, but once he does he is very sweet. He loves attention and likes getting into trouble, which does not involve breaking things but does involve chewing up stuff (not wires in our experience, but stuffed animals and hair ties). I was originally babysitting him for a friend, but after 6 months they gave up ownership as they are not able to take him back. Harmony is nice to people but does not get along with our cat Buster, so our home is unfortunately not a safe space for him. We are looking for a owner with patience and one who does not already have any cats/dogs or small children. I promise your patience will be rewarded when it comes to Harmony!

Story
Rocket is an 8 month old lazy ham! He is a cuddly, lower energy guy, he enjoys sitting in a lap, laying on his back and getting belly rubs. His temperament is pretty chill, overall. We received him from a farm that had an excess of barn cats when he was a kitten. He is neutered and up to date on shots. Currently living in our home with another cat. She does not like him, and it has put a strain on his demeanor. We are dealing with a spraying problem, as he is stressed by her antagonizing him - which is what has led us to needing to rehome. We do think he would do best in a house with another cat, but it would have to be a cat that is known to do well with other cats. He just wants companionship with another cat and owners. We have a child and he adores our child as well. He is 11lbs and eats mostly wet food, and enjoys a water fountain. He likes scratching posts and catnip toys. But is happiest being held, and cuddled.

I have had Addie and Pumpkin since they were both kittens. Addie is 6 and Pumpkin is 4. They are both very sweet and enjoy being spoiled. Addie is more independent, but does enjoy snuggling after she approaches and Pumpkin is a cuddle bug all the way. It is not uncommon for Pumpkin to crawl under blankets to sleep with you, while Addie sits by your feet. I am only rehoming since a household member is allergic.

Story
Meet Neville, a charming feline eager to find his forever home. This playful kitty possesses remarkable athleticism and an insatiable curiosity. Playing is his true passion, and he fearlessly explores anywhere and at any heights, executing daring attacks, occasionally even hanging upside down to capture that elusive toy.After a rigorous round of play, Neville wants to cuddle on your lap and welcome copious amounts of petting. Until he notices a toy and then he is off again! Neville is a silly boy and he will occasionally emit a playful growl at invisible foes and sometimes before attacking his meal. While he is fearless around imaginary adversaries, he may be frightened by loud noises. This independent guy likes to get his way and may give warning nibbles to indicate his preferences or to grab your attention for a playful interaction. If you do not take his hint, then he may attempt a bite to fully grab your attention. Due to this tendency, Neville may not be the best fit for younger children. Neville's attention can be redirected during these times and would benefit from continued positive reinforcement training. A stable and predictable environment where Neville is the only pampered pet will enable him to thrive. Neville wants you to visit him!Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Story
Rosco is such a versatile cat! He's both cuddly and super playful. He loves very easily. Everywhere he goes and everyone he meets, he just makes himself at home and trusts you almost immediately. Although, he might make you late for work if he's sleeping on you and he's just too cute to wake up. He's also a very curious kitty. He might get into some things he isn't supposed to, but as soon as you tell him to stop, he's very smart and will learn to stay away. At one year old, he is very playful, and can keep himself entertained, but he'd much rather be playing with you. Lastly, he's a little chatty. He'll meow to say goodbye, to tell you he misses you when you've left, and to welcome you home. He's filled with so much love and wants to share it!Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Story
Come meet Ellie Sparkles. She lives up to her name and shines brighter than all the stars in the universe. This low maintenance cat loves to cuddle and make biscuits, acting as an excellent antidote to winter. If you call her, she will run to you to see what you want. It is important that she keep active and manages her weight. Sometimes she will play by herself and at other times she likes to chase after toys. Her interests include using a ball tracker, a mouse kicker, soft cat toys and a kitty fishing rod. She has been known to drag her fishing rod from the living room into the bedroom as a present. She is quick to welcome strangers into her space. She uses her litter box 100% and likes horizontal cat scratchers. She may do best as an only cat or with slow introductions. Ellie Sparkles has been a delight to foster. Wouldn't you want to be her adopter to keep those emerald colored eyes shining?Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Hello, I'm Draco Meowfoy and I am a sweet and gentle guy who loves napping and talking your ear off when its meal time, I, unfortunately, am missing an eye but it doesn't bother me one bit, just make sure to stand on my right side to get my attention! I may be a bit nervous when I first get to a new place and may hide all day but I will warm up quickly and be your best friend, always letting you know what you missed as soon as you come back from work. I'm a true sweetheart down to the bone and just want someone who will care for me and let me be me. One little note, give me some playtime before bed, that way I wont be getting up to mischief while you're trying to sleep!Since he is positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), he can only cohabitate with FeLV+ cats, dogs, or other non-feline animals. FeLV is species-specific and only contagious to cats; it is not contagious to humans, dogs, or other non-cat animals. He must always remain an indoor kitty and needs to be fed a nutritionally complete and balanced diet. For this reason, his adoption fee is waived.Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Story
Bud is a sweet, affectionate cat who’s been my best friend. From the moment he wakes up, he meows his greetings, follows you around, and curls up close, purring contentedly at each pet. I’d hoped we’d stay together forever, but my child’s severe allergies and asthma make it impossible to give Bud the time and care he deserves. He used to live alongside his feline brother—who moved out with my sister—and still misses that companionship. Bud would be happiest in a home with another friendly cat or someone around often for play and cuddles. He also lived with a large dog in the past; he was initially cautious, but never aggressive—just needed a little time to adjust. It truly breaks my heart to rehome this loving, talkative companion, but he deserves more than I can provide right now. If you’re looking for a devoted cat who greets you with gentle nudges and plenty of meows, please consider welcoming Bud into your life. He’ll repay your love a thousand times over.

Story
Ella was adopted as a kitten when she was 8 weeks old from a Humane Society. She loves to play and is energetic and sassy. She will come and curl up on your lap when she is ready and does like to be petted especially under her chin. She is affectionate with me and lived peacefully with me and my other cat until recently. She seems to have developed anxiety toward the other cat in the household and my other cat is afraid of her. I need to find her a new home for the sake of the other cat. She does seem to have some general anxiety around unfamiliar situations and people so may take some time to settle into a new home but I think she would be a good cat once she feels comfortable. It may be advisable for her to be in a home as an only pet and probably one that is somewhat quiet. She has not been around dogs or children. I have taken very good care of her and feel sick about rehoming her but need to for the sake of my other cat.

Story
Vivian is a 1.5(ish)-year-old sweetheart who has come a long way from her early days on the streets. We took her in as a foster when she was pregnant, and she has since given birth, been a wonderful mama, and is now spayed and ready for a loving forever home. Vivian is social, playful, and loves to be near her people—she’s a champion purrer and will happily curl up near you for company. She has been living with one of her kittens for the past six months and would likely do well in a home with other cats. While she’s incredibly affectionate and curious, she can be nervous around loud noises or new situations. But with patience and a calm environment, she quickly comes out of her shell. We are working on fully potty training Vivian, and she’s made great progress, but she will need an attentive adopter who can help her stay on track with her litter box routine. She is chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, no medical issues, and is eager to find a home where she can feel safe and loved.
