Story

Gracie is a super sweet cat. She is mostly grey and resembles a Russian blue. She has been good with cats, but due to my fostering of cats she has been unhappy with all of the cats, and would probably prefer to be a one or two cat household. She will most likely take a little while to warm up to you, and once she does will be sleeping in your bed. She is currently and indoor outdoor cat, mostly I think she wasn’t out to get away from the other cats. She Could use someone who can give her all the love and attention she deserves.

Story

Cherry is one of 4 brothers, but he currently lives alongside his brother toast, whom is orange. They are both 8 months old and both grey american shorttails. They are bonded together so they won't be seperated. In a new home, I am looking for someone who is loving and can handle their presence. They love to cuddle up and be around people they like. Both cherry and toast are both very calm cats, however cherry loves to be more active and go around the house a lot. Toast on the other hand, likes to lay back and relax most of the time. Throughout the day, cherry is more closer to people and would like to be by their side.

Story

2 black cats needing a loving home. They are brothers by choice and love, 2 male cats from separate litters. They 2 months apart in age, both turning 4 years old this summer. They are the biggest snuggle lovers, whether it’s with each other or anyone that wants to snuggle. I’m unfortunately just unable to give them the time, energy and attention that they deserve and are used to having, due to juggling 3 jobs for the past year. These are 2 very gentle and loving boys. They have only ever lived indoors, and they come with a self cleaning litter box and an automatic feeding station.

Story

Hello there! We're Pippa and Chely, a bonded pair of Bombay DSH mix sisters. Our story began in a rough place we were found as kittens in a dumpster, but a kind soul saved us, and now we’re ready for our forever home! Pippa is the more outgoing one, while Chely is a bit more reserved. We are shy at first, but once we get comfortable, we’ll show you how sweet and affectionate we are. We’re considered special needs only because it may take us some time to adjust to a new home, but with patience, we’ll open up. We’re spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and great with other cats. Playtime is fun for us, and we can’t resist treats! If you're patient and looking for a pair of loving companions, we’d be the perfect fit to bring warmth and joy into your home.! 🐾💖
