Story
Hi, I’m Dobby! I’m an affectionate, snuggly American Shorthair who simply adores being close to my favorite humans. I’ve lived both indoors and outdoors (though now I’m strictly indoor because I’m a city girl!), and I’m happiest when I can curl up next to you on the couch or greet you at the door with a sweet little “meow.” I’ve lived with kids and a big dog before, so I know how to be gentle around little ones—and I don’t mind a friendly, respectful dog roommate. I’m not too keen on sharing my space with other cats, though, so I’d love to be your one-and-only feline friend. I did have a small health scare a couple of years ago when a lesion on my nose was diagnosed as possible skin cancer, but it was removed and hasn’t caused any issues since. It left a bit of a scar, but I think it just adds to my unique charm! I’m spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on my shots, so I’m ready to settle into my new home right away. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will greet you

Story
Bell and Johnson are brothers born in August, adopted from the SPCA in December. They are both sweet kittens who love to play with each other. They are well behaved for the most part and have no issues with potty training, food, biting, etc. They do have an adorable little sneeze. I am looking to rehome them only because my work schedule has changed and I will be home a lot less and dont have time to care for them the way they deserve. They are affectionate, curious and loving. Like playing with wands, boxes and activity boards. Since they are a bonded pair I am looking to rehome them together. Bell is shy and will take a minute to warm up but once he does he is adventurous, sweet and likes belly rubs. Johnson will come say hi right away, likes to cuddle and is food motivated. I can offer a water fountain, food dispenser, toys, treats, litter box, cat condo, scratch pad, and more. I am eager to rehome them so please reach with Qs. Thank you for considering bringing them home.

Story
Meet Leo (aka Leo the Lion)! He is a 9-10-month-old grey tuxedo cat. He is very affectionate, playful, and super curious. I took him in after his mother (a black and white tuxedo cat) brought him to my front porch. Leo is well cared for and fed daily, but he is extremely food-driven and will try to eat anything (even after every meal). He also was passed down bacterial eye infection via his mother. No worries-- it can be cleared up with erythromycin ointment. I want to make sure that I am honest about that so there are no surprises. He is vaccinated (I can provide paperwork), but he is not nurtured or microchipped yet. I am hoping to find him a spacious and loving new home that matches his energetic spirit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I will be sure to answer them. Looking forward to speaking with anyone who feels that Leo would make the perfect addition to their home.

Story
Hi, I am Magie. I'm an extremely shy kitty but I love to sit close to you and just hang out. Or maybe just near you but not too close, depends on my mood. I am a nervous cat, as a lot has changed for me quickly and I get really scared, so I really would be best as a solo kitty for a time until I can adapted to my environment. I currently live with other kitties, they say hi but I have my room where I hang out, eat, and just chill. I need to be rehomed because my elderly owner passed away suddenly. I have been in a home with a lot of kitties, and I am trying but sometimes I feel overwhelmed. Like I said I just like to chill by myself or with a couple of people a few cuddles and a warm couch. I'm pretty mellow, and enjoy my space. I do love treats, playtime, and a blanket to hide under from time to time. It takes me time to warm up, I need a stable forever home and not a lot of change in my life. I need someone to love me for me!

Friendly/Loving House Cats Looking for New Home These boys are full brothers, both 6 years old in March, neutered. They are super friendly, cuddly cats and love attention. Owner is moving and unable to keep them. Impeccable litter box habit and easy to cut nails. Healthy and up to date on all vaccinations. They will come with all of their belongings (cat tree, litter boxes, warming mat/beds, scratch post, leash/harnesses and more). They would do best as the only cats in the household. Good with dogs. They must go together.

Story
Kelly is a good cat, but I originally wanted one cat and since Callie is a very independent cat, she doesn’t really interact with us. It’s too expensive for me to keep both cats so I’m just keeping one and I’m keeping the cat that interacts with the family most she’s a good cat. She’s house trained uses the litter box and she’s very independent minds her business

Story
Vincent is the ultimate lap cat with the longest tail. Whenever I start working he just jumps right on my lap. He is very goofy and loves playing with toys. He is also a good boy that only scratches the scratching post. He is not picky with food and always wants more. He doesn’t meow super often. He gets his nails out when climbing one of my leather armchairs. I unfortunately can’t afford to get another leather armchair so I decided to rehome him. I’m looking for an adaptor who is gentle with cats to adopt Vincent. He would do well with other cats. He has not seen a dog before.
