Story
I found aries on the furry friends website. She was in a foster home. I have had her since 2018. She was born that year and will be turning 7 this June. She is very cuddly and loving with someone she trusts. However, once i had a baby, i have learned she does not do well with children. She has gotten very jealous and has scratched my daughter. Her whole demeanor has changed since i got pregnant now with two babies and i can’t keep up with her demands. She would do best in a loving home without children. She’s very independent most of the day.

Scooter is a shy but incredibly sweet cat with a gentle spirit that’s worth the wait.

Her shy nature doesn’t stop her from being loving and loyal once she’s found her person. With a little patience, you’ll soon find that Scooter’s calm, sweet presence is the perfect companion, and her quiet love will melt all your worries away.

Misty is a sweet little kitten with a soft, dreamy vibe, as if she’s always drifting through her own little world. Like a gentle fog rolling in, she’s a bit shy at first, but once you earn her trust, she’ll be your loyal companion. Misty loves to curl up in quiet, cozy spots, watching everything around her with a mysterious sparkle in her eyes—like she knows more than she lets on. Her playful nature sneaks out when you least expect it, just like a soft mist appearing at dawn. With a little time, Misty will melt into your arms, leaving you wrapped in her calm, soothing presence. She’s the perfect mix of playful and serene, ready to bring a touch of magic and warmth into your home.

Story
Elvis is a shy and sweet young kitten with a quiet, soulful presence that would make even the King of Rock 'n' Roll proud. Like his namesake, he may start off a little reserved, but once he’s comfortable, he’s ready to melt hearts with his gentle purrs and soft, velvety paws. Elvis loves to explore, but he’s not in a rush—he takes his time, like a slow ballad, carefully creeping around the room before making his move. When he's in the mood for affection, he’ll serenade you with a few gentle head nudges, and if you're lucky, he might even let you pick him up for a cuddle. Though he’s a little hesitant to take the spotlight, Elvis' sweet, mellow nature shines through when he’s in the right company, proving that sometimes, the shyest cats have the most to offer. With a bit of patience, you’ll find that this little "Hound Dog" is just waiting for someone to love him tenderly.

Story
Arkin is 3 years old (we go by the year, his birthday is unknown) I picked him up from an unsafe and unclean place until he was fixed and given shots. I fell in love with him! He is the sweetest most talkative cat! He will cuddle you endlessly. His new home should definitely be full of toys and lots of climbing space. He gets along a lot better with older people not sure how he does around younger Children.
