Meet Aphrodite (aka Afro) a 13-year-old sweetheart! Trying to look for a new home as she's been a foster with us for the past month and a half to 2 months. We acquired her from my boyfriend's friend who became homeless. She is one of two cats we acquired from him and looking to rehome her, because my original younger cat is bullying her. She is not doing well at our home and is in dire need of a safe and loving space. She is very adventurous even at her age and loves the outdoors. She is even trained on leash! She will cuddle you and lay on your feet in bed with you.

Meet Rue! She is a very calm, loving girl. She loves to cuddle and sleep all day and is overall the sweetest kitty you’ll ever meet. We sadly have to rehome this sweet baby because we recently moved into an apartment that doesn’t allow cats and we have a baby on the way very soon and it would be too much having pets at this time.

Story
Lightning is a former outdoor cat brought inside over 1.5 years ago. He is an older gentleman at almost 13 years old (2/10) but he still has quite a bit of spunk in in his step. He loves bouncing around the room and chasing his tail. Lightning was neglected by a former owner and walks with a slight limp on his left side. He would appreciate a quiet home with no dogs or other cats and a patient owner who will let him snuggle with you on his own terms. **Lightning is neutered, FIV/FeLV/HW negative and is UTD on all vaccines until September 2026. He has no known health issues at this time.**

Story
Cosmo is a 2 year old sweet and outgoing cat who loves everyone he meets. He is great with all animals and would fit in well almost anywhere. I have a newborn and i’m not able to give him anywhere near the attention he deserves. He has no issues with using the litter box or any aggression towards humans or animals. I have had him since he was a kitten and will be very sad to part ways with him, but he truly deserves an owner who will give him the time that I cannot. He eats Blue Buffalo cat food, and the occasional wet food (which he loves). He comes with a large cat tree that he thoroughly enjoys, a food and water bowl, and some of his favorite toys. Please keep in mind that if you want the tree, it is rather large and will have to be picked up.
