Story
I found mittens at a jobsite as a kitten, she is approximately 1 year old. She is friendly and litter trained. I can provide a cat house and litter pan if needed. My grandmother just passed away and landlord wants me out by the end of the week:( I don't have the ability to take care of her anymore, although I love her very much. I have her papers for her vaccines and having been spayed. Please help this sweet cat.

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Georgie. I am a 9-month-old sweetheart. I was abandoned in the fall and a nice lady in the neighborhood brought me inside because I was not doing well and surely would not have made it in the freezing temperatures. When she took me to the vet to be neutered they learned that I am FELV+. I am not sure what that means, but I think it means I'm a very special boy!They gave me my shots and I am a very healthy kitty! I am gaining so much weight and getting to be such a big boy! I can be timid at first, but give me a kind hand and warm lap and I will be your best friend forever. My best buddy is my foster brother Beau, the bulldog. My foster mom says I must be an indoor only kitty and I would prefer a quiet home to keep my stress levels low, to help ensure my immune system stays healthy and strong. Do you think you could be my forever home? I have so much love to give ❤️ Thank you for reading my story🐾

Story
Meet kitty Armondo!!!  He and his litter mates did not have the best start in life.  Their mom was a member of a feral cat colony that lived in a ravine.  People were very concerned about the little family and were finally able to trap them all.  Mom was feral.  The babies were scared but nice.  It just took a little while for them to understand that people are nice and are trying to help them.  Mom was spayed and released and the babies went to a loving foster home.  They have now all been totally vetted and are ready for their forever homes.  Armondo is a sweet but shy 12 week old kitten.  He loves to play with his siblings Leo and Amschel.  They have the biggest time running and playing.  Armondo is a polydactyl/Hemmingway kitten.  He is unique in that he has 5 toes.  It looks like he has hands.  This sweet boy is a very good boy.  It took no time at all to litter box train him.  He would love to have a home with one of his brothers.  If not though he definitely needs a home with another kitten or young cat.  He has been through too much to not have a companion.  Armondo is a special boy with the tiniest of meows.  He will be an excellent companion and addition to your family.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Armondo is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)      November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Hi my name is Ricky Ricardo!  I am an 14 month old young man whose first 8 months were horrific.  I was born on the property of an oil company and lived in the pallets on the property with my brothers.  We were all part of a feral cat colony.  These nice ladies learned about our situation and decided they had to help us.  They started feeding us and then put these long narrow cages out with the most yummy food inside.  I could not resist and in I went.  Well guess what???  I could not get out.  That was very scary.  Then they took me to this building and left me.  That was the vet.  They were actually taking care of me!  That was first for sure.  Miss Becca stepped up to foster me and has helped me to adjust to INSIDE life as a pet.  I love it and have adjusted very well.  I get great food every day and it is never too hot or too cold.  I get along great with the other 5 cats here and am good with her young boys.  We run and play and have the best time together.  We can be adopted with a sibling or by ourselves.  We are all ready for the journey to our forever home.  To be considered for your family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. (We are currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)March 15, 2025, 8:37 pm

Hi my name is Tessa.  ! was born on the property of an oil company and lived in the pallets on the property with my foster brothers.  We were all part of a feral cat colony.  These nice ladies learned about our situation and decided they had to help us.  They started feeding us and then put these long narrow cages out with the most yummy food inside.  I could not resist and in I went.  Well guess what???  I could not get out.  That was very scary.  Then they took me to this building and left me.  That was the vet.  They were actually taking care of me!  That was first for sure.  Miss Becca stepped up to foster me and is helping me to adjust to INSIDE life as a pet.  I was the last one to come to my foster home.  I am younger than the boys and am behind them in my social skills.  I watch the people from afar.  I want to be petted and loved on but am still a bit afraid.  I just need a nice loving home where people will give me a chance to adjust and settle in.  I know that I can do it and become a very loving kitty.   I just need a little time.  I get along great with the other 5 cats here.  So may be if I had a feline friend in my forever home that would help.  I a spayed, current on all my shots, FIV negative and microchipped.  To be considered for my forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)December 23, 2024, 12:05 pm

Story
I got this sweet boy about a month ago but I do need to rehome him. I already have three cats and I was just fostering him so that someone could take him. I cannot take care of for cats and I just want him to go to a loving home. He is very funny. He has a really great personality and he loves toys that are shaped like a mouse.
