Hobbes would be ideal for a quiet, calm home, with as little chaos as possible. He is easily stressed around other animals and small children. He is such a sweet, lovable boy, that deserves a quiet space to rest and be given lots of pets. He would truly flourish in this type of home

Story
I found Daphne outside when I was brooding ducklings. I didn’t want a cat getting any ideas about an easy-access snack, so I brought her inside & realized she was pregnant. She spent a few days isolated from my other animals, but eventually I was able to set up an indoor nesting area for her. I did take her to the vet once, she does not have worms or feline leukemia. They did an xray to check on the kittens, but didn’t mention anything abnormal about her anatomy when they saw it. She has not been spayed yet & had her kittens going on 9 weeks ago. She is an absolutely lovely cat, she loves to be paid attention to & pet, she doesn’t fuss when held, she lets me clip her nails & get her eye boogies off easily. She hasn’t once gone to the bathroom other than in a litter box & gets along without any issues with other cats. The only caveat is she does NOT LIKE DOGS. She got better at tolerating their existence, but when they get near her she hisses, growls, & sometimes throws claws.

Ashe is extremely sweet and very laid back. He will snuggle and hang with you all day long. He was born on 1/06/24. I acquired him through a litter that my friends cat had. He’s really great with other cats so a home with other cats would be preferred.

I need to find my cat a new home, ideally with multiple people in the household so she can receive the attention she needs. I have allergies and between that and her high strung nature, I cannot be a home for her any longer. She is declawed (this was done last year because of how destructive she was with claws).

Story
Meet Valhalla- A Loving Companion Looking for a Forever Home Two years ago, Valhalla was found as a tiny, helpless kitten on the streets, searching for warmth and safety. She was rescued with love and has grown into the most affectionate, playful, and gentle companion you could ever wish for. Now, Valhalla is a healthy, well-mannered indoor cat with all her shots up to date. Unfortunately, due to a chronic illness, her current owner is no longer able to provide the care and attention she deserves. This heartbreaking decision is made with only one goal in mind: to find her a home where she will be loved just as much, if not more. She is a perfect mix of independent and cuddly. Great with kids, enjoys lounging by a sunny window, watching birds, and curling up next to you for a cozy nap. She has been raised in a quiet, loving home and would greet you with the sweetest purrs. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will bring warmth and joy to your life, Valhalla is the one for U!

I’m looking to rehome my son’s cat. She is trained, understands commands, she will talk to you, loves to lay with you, 2.5 years old, fixed and all her stuff comes with her. Tampa psalms area. She is very loving. She is microchipped. She is an indoor cat. If I wanted animals I would keep her. She hasn’t been around other cats that I know of. Idk how she will respond. She isn’t afraid to go outside and play. She is still quite scary in a lot of ways. I’ll provide all her paperwork and items if you choose to take her.
