Story
Meet Mittens! He is a very loving kitty. He was a stray cat. We took him in and he is the most grateful cat. He loves the cuddle with you! He sleeps very peacefully. He is very sweet. He loves attention and toys. Mittens is the best cat ever. The reason we have to rehome him is that our other cats are not fond of him. Mitten deserves a home that he feels comfortable in and unfortunately that isn’t our home. Mittens is good around our female cat but our male cats do not like him. He is really good about using a litter box. He loves treats and loves cat nip.

Story
Junie was found outdoors. My parents let her stay in the garage over the years and she has become rather domesticated. He likes to be inside and outside yet loves snuggles and to be cared for. My parents are no longer able to care for any animals due to medical issues and are too old to take care of the cats. Junie would be best in a single pet home to get all the love and attention he deserves! He was found as part of a barn program I believe but was abandoned. I can get him up to date on all shots and anything else needed before being rehomed. He is a sweetheart!

Story
Marmalade (Marmie) is a sweet girl that I adopted as a kitten. She gets along great with other cats - she likes to cuddle with her adopted sister Eggnog and play with the neighboring cats in our apartment building. She takes a bit to warm up to new people, but once she does she is super cuddly. Her whole life she has had issues with chewing on / eating non-food items like charging cords, fabric, and shoes. When she was about 1 yr old she damaged her canine teeth and recently had to have 3 out of 4 pulled because they were starting to get infected. I had hoped that the chewing would get better now that she’s older and her teeth are healed, but it hasn’t. I’m going to be moving into a much smaller, shared space in June and I don’t think I will be able to keep her away from items she’d try to eat. If you’re an experienced pet owner who wants to give my orange girl a chance, I’d love to meet up and talk!

Banjo is an energetic and talkative little guy. The ideal home would be one where he has plenty of companionship (human, cat or dog). He loves to play with a laser pointer and has yet to cause any sort of a mess or issue.
