Story
14 year old, all black, male cat. Needs Thyroid medicine every day. We adopted Bullit from the humane society about eight years ago and he has been a good cat, but also difficult at times. He tolerates my female cat although they have fought occasionally, and he really, really does not like the dogs that we have added to the family. My male dog and Bullit have gotten into some very serious fights that led to near vet visits and a recommendation to separate them for a time. Because of the Thyroid medication and the fighting, I have kept Bullit quarantined for a while in one of my spare bedrooms, but it really doesn't seem fair to keep him there. I would love to find him a home where he can be an only pet for the next 4 to 6 years that he has left. He also has dandruff but doesn't consistently eat fish oil or skin care treats. I am starting a conditioner to see if that helps. He is up to date on shots and had a dental cleaning within the last year. I can provide veterinary docs.

Story
I was a foster for Corvus & Talitha and they are ready for their forever home. They are a brother and sister duo who love each other very much ! It is best they stay together. They are very cuddly and outgoing and kind with new people. They were born April 12, 2024 so they still have a lot of playfulness and energy. Talitha has a vestibular murmur in her heart she was born with, meaning she needs a calm and peaceful home. Most often cats born with this have longer life spans than those who develop them in life. I keep an eye out for if she starts panting during playtime and that tells me it’s time to rest. Otherwise, she is a loving and magical sweet girl who loves to lay on your lap- especially in the mornings.

Story
August (Auggie) is a 12 year old sweet boy. I adopted him from a woman when he was 3 years old, because her new husband was allergic to cats. He has been with me through EVERYTHING including various moves, breakups, grad school, getting married, and having my daughter. I love him so much, that I feel like rehoming would be the best thing for him. When my husband and I moved in together, we each had our own cats. Unfortunately, August has not been able to adjust to having a cat brother. For the last 2 years, my normally sweet, outgoing, playful, cuddly, social boy, has become sad, reclusive, and picking fights with the other cat. We have done everything we can to help him adjust, but he refuses. He is great around humans, even my 1 year old daughter, but feels threatened and can not stand to live with another cat. I am looking to rehome him because I just want him to be happy. Hoping to find someone who wants to give lots of love to this sweet boy.

Story
Sugar is a beautiful, silky soft loving cat. We got her 2 months ago from the Humane Society. Her crate at the Humane Society had a note that said “not good with other cats …past trauma.” The box next to “Good with dogs” was checked as “unknown.” We have 2 very sweet and social dogs at home - a chocolate lab 8 years old, and a 12 year old dachshund. We thought they’d be great, the dogs are older and mellow. Sugar loves her new home…. She loves being pet, & picked up & purs loudly . She likes to going in the backyard, and after about 15 minutes, I call “Kitty!” and she comes running in. She likes to be around the family & people! However, her past trauma with cats must also extend into doggy territory. She hisses and scratches then runs away from our dogs. The chocolate lab got a scratch on her cornea and needed special drops and gel put on the eyeball twice a day & cone protector on neck for 2 weeks. Our dachshund, got a bad scratch on the nose. Now, cat is afraid, & dogs afraid.😢

Story
We adopted Cosmo as a kitten in June of 2020. He is the most sweet and loving cat I have ever had. He is very cuddly and loves attention! We always joke that he has the personality of a dog. Every time someone comes over he is all up in their business and wants pets and sniffs. He would be best in a home without other pets as he can be a bully to other animals (as we have seen with his sister clover). He eats from a timed feeder because he is food obsessed and will eat too much and vomit if he is not portion controlled. He does have a problem with one of his knees but it does not seem to bother him and if his weight is managed. If he does get too heavy, jumping bothers him, you can tell because he hobbles. He is litter trained and never has accidents or goes in places he should not. He is SUCH a good boy, we love him and if it were not for our 2 year old daughter having a severe allergy to him we would of course be keeping him. He deserves an amazing home.
