Story
Hi, this Boo she is 2 years old and a very good cat. I have to re-home her due to personal reasons but none of which have to do with her. she is super sweet and loves to look out windows and watch the birds all the time. she's very calm and affectionate & loves to cuddle when she is ready to lay down. I would really like for her to go to a loving family who will take very good care of her because she's very special to me. She gets along with my dog but i'm unsure how she would react to a new dog. ( Im also looking for a new home for her daughter "Baby" who is 1 year old). please only reach out if you can guarantee she will be fully taken care of.

Story
Luna was rescued when she was 8wks for my daughter and has been in our family for 5 years now. She is beautiful, has a playful personality and loving. She is a shy girl at 1st to new people but loves to play with toys and interacting with her humans. Loves to lounge and sleep in the sun rays. She has always had a sensitive tummy and requires special diet food in small amounts twice a day. Always has been the only cat indoors but loves to step out in the yard to watch her human garden or sit in the sun. Weighs about 8lbs. My daughter is off to college out of state and I'm going to be moving out of state. Please let me know if you have questions. Hoping that some one would love to have a new companion with loving Luna. Looking for a new loving person to call her own.

Story
My co-worker had a stray cat living near their house who had kittens. My husband and I took one of the kittens, a gray female, in early September 2023, when she was about 1 month old. Now, as of 8/5/24, she is about a year old. I have two huskies, who unfortunately see her only as prey, even after living together for a year. The dogs have attacked her a few times, (luckily no injuries). We have tried everything and they still don't get along. Ahsoka is living in our spare bedroom, and when we let her out of the room, we have a tall baby gate to separate the dogs and her. We have decided to re-home Ahsoka because its not safe for her at the house, and its not fair that she has to spend most of her time in a bedroom, alone. She is sweet and feisty at the same time. She loves to play and zip around, but also cuddle when she is sleepy. She doesn't really like to be held.

Her name is Lokita. We’ve had her since she was 2 months old she’s already 2 years old. We’re moving out of state and unfortunately can’t take she her with us. She’s good with kids, I have a 1yr old who she’s very patient with. Never lashed out at anyone including my daughter who messes with her too much everyday. She lives with 3 dogs (English Bulldog, Husky, and Chihuahua) and she gets along with em all. She lives with another cat who she gets along with as well. She does like going outside so I have had flee problems with her. She was apart of our family and we just want someone who treats her the same as well.
