Story
Wagon is a very loving cat, but he is incredibly vocal and skittish. It will take him a while to warm up to you, but if you’re patient, he will be incredibly loyal and sweet. Huge cuddlebug.

Story
Looking for a New Home for a Sweet Cat (Only Animal Household) We are looking to rehome our beautiful cat who needs a special environment to thrive. She is shy at first, but once she warms up, she becomes incredibly loving and affectionate. She craves attention and will quickly become your best friend once she feels comfortable. Unfortunately, she does not get along well with other animals, and it’s not fair to keep her in an environment where she’s constantly stressed. We truly believe she will flourish in a home where she can be the only pet and receive all the love and care she deserves. What She Needs: A quiet home with no other pets A family or individual who can be patient as she warms up (she’s shy at first but very sweet once she trusts you)

Story
Mama Mo is a sweet cat- she has lived a tough life outdoors after her owners moved away. She was a good mama to her kittens (all adopted and loving their new homes)! She is learning to trust people again- and can sometimes be a little spicy if you pet her past her allotted timespan (which only she is privy to).  She had a brief stint at Whisker Station, but that wasn't her jam- she was not at all aggressive with the other cats but prefers a quieter more laid back vibe. So now she is back with us in her favorite chair! She deserves the absolute best- a family (without young kids) that really understands and appreciates cat behavior as she does have a few quirks! I think she would be fine with non-aggressive dogs or cats. She is pretty much ignores the other animals in our home- a dog and 3 other cats.  Mo loves to be brushed and pet, but does not enjoy if you put your face close to her. She will let you know about it! Reach out if you would like more information on Mo! It is definitely worthwhile gaining her trust- she is a special kitty and deserves a special family of her own!November 5, 2024, 10:31 am
