Story
Milo and Oliver are brothers about 3 1/2 years old I had them since they were about 4 months old. Unfortunately my baby brother has become very allergic to them and now im unable to keep them in my house and I dont want to just drop them off at a shelter :( They are very loving and affectionate cats who have been around two dogs before a Rottweiler and a pitbull. I would love them to just go to a loving home where they can freely roam around the house. I had let them outside a couple times and they would always stay close by as well.

Story
This is Tequila. He is a shy cat at first, but once he settles in he becomes very affectionate and playful. Tequila is in good health with no medical conditions. He has been my only pet so I can’t say how well he would do with other cats or dogs. Due to my work schedule, I can no longer give Tequila the care and attention he deserves. He is a loving animal and he would thrive in a new home with lots of attention and love.

Hello! My name is Moxxie! I was actually found as a stray in the Denver metro area when I followed a nice lady home one day. Let me tell you a little bit about myself! I can be affectionate but also love my independence. I love sunning myself in the window. I would be fine as an only cat in the house or could do well with other pets with an appropriate introduction. I am litterbox trained. I'm ready to find my furever home!  ##2122072##

Story
We rescued Ollie in CA back in 2017. We got a dog and had two kids and Ollie has been using his litter box but also consistently marking. We took him to the vet and there is nothing health wise wrong with him. He ha been an indoor cat since we have had him. He is very affectionate but we can’t handle him marking as much as he has been and we think he would be happier in a house where he can get more attention.

Story
2 cats for adoption they are bonded and about 2 years old. Not willing to separate them. They would both make great adventure cats that was my original plan for them. They snuggle and nap together. Albedo needs someone who will play with him lots and cuddle. He does like to nibble to get your attention so not suitable for households with children. Graywing is a little more reserved but loves attention and getting to snuggle with you. They currently live with a dog and just ignore him and do their own thing. Adoption price is negotiable I’m just trying to find a good home for them. Someone who is able to give them the attention they deserve.

Story
I adopted Leif almost 2 years ago now when I moved to Colorado, I love him but don't think I can keep him anymore given the situation. He's always had some behavioral tricks but recently they've gotten exacerbated as I moved in with my fiancee. He's playful and good with one of her cats and antagonistic with the other. But he's also not good with kids at all he's aggressive to my stepson. Leif chews on wires and everything except covers he can't chew through. He also has FLUTD which means he can become incontinent if he's not eating his medicated food or is extremely stressed out. I wish I could keep him but he's been becoming more aggressive to my stepson and it's becoming a real issue. I want find a home that will love him like I do.

Story
They should be kept together, as they are very close, reliant and dependent on each other. They are 3 1/2 year old brothers (DOB 9/9/2020), all black except for Salem (the chonky one), who has a little white spot on his chest. They are fixed, micro-chipped and litter box trained. They are picky eaters but ONLY because they eat dry cat food and no expensive or canned stuff. They don't like people food (even bacon!) and only like a certain brand of treats that I've gotten them (can't remember the name right now). They are very leery of people, kids, cats and dogs, but I think they would be okay if they were around them more. They do like their peace and quiet, though. They have been indoors since birth, as we live in an area with a lot of wild animals and are next to a buy street. We do have to move out of our house before July 1st and will be, basically, homeless until we find a house, so they absolutely cannot stay with us.
