Story
Tori loves to snuggle people she has chosen to like. She is still playful at 9 years old, but loves to snooze. She is great around my two young children and has never bitten or scratched them, even when they sit on her. She has been around small and large dogs with no issues, as long as she has an escape area. We have been having issues lately related to us not having time to devote to her due to young children and our large golden doodle being in her space. She has been boycotting the litter box fairly recently due to these things. This has become a problem that we are unable to overcome as it is effecting the health of our children. We love her dearly and I know she would do great somewhere that is able to give her more attention and loving. She is full of character, loves sunbathing, and she has been a wonderful companion. Tori has all her shots, is spayed and declawed in the front.

Story
Mystic is an amazing cat! She is 2 1/2 years old. She comes when called by her name, loves to slow blink with love at her people, cuddle up on the couch for pets, play with toys, and snuggle near her big dog friend, Merlin. She is an active cat the lives of her human. Often she follows her human around and looks for pets and loving. She likes to sleep with her people. She is the sweetest and likes her head pet and will often show her belly for a few pets, too! She is good with dogs and other cats. She is litter trained, super healthy, so shiny, and has the brightest golden eyes! She was adopted as a kitten from Louisville metro and has lived inside her whole life. She loved living with a cat companion and then that kitty passed away. She comes with a litter robot v3 (500 value), wet and dry food, cat litter, toys, a cat tree, cat bed, and more. She is perfect in everyway and I am knowing that you might be the perfect home for her ❤️🐾🐈‍⬛🐈🧶

Story
Olive is sweet, cuddly, and playful, with lots of kitten energy, though she is likely closer to 2 years old. But she needs to be in a home where she is the only cat. I took her in during December 2024, hoping she might become a friendly playmate for my older cat. Despite trying to follow all the advice I could find about helping cats acclimate gradually to one another, nothing has worked, and the two cats just don't like each other. A friend rescued Olive after she was found on the streets with a litter of kittens last fall. When the kittens were old enough, each was adopted by a family, and I offered to take Olive. She has now been spayed and is up-to-date on vaccinations. I want her to be in a home where she can really thrive and be happy. In my home, she is retreating to one corner of the house and my older cat to the other so they don't have to encounter each other.

Story
Lucy is the cat with the patch on her back. She’s shy but sweet and likes pets and scratches, especially around the neck. She sometimes plays with toys and loves hiding under blankets. Lily is the smaller cat. She’s sweet and more social than her sister. She loves pets, toys, and blankets. They are approximately 4 years old and are both declawed in the front. I received them that way from the previous owner, who could no longer care for them because of sickness in her family. They had their shots updated in August 2024 at the time I took them, and have shown no signs of illness or disability the entire time I’ve had them. Unfortunately, due to a change in my work schedule, caring for them is no longer affordable. They are extremely exploratory and curious but must remain indoors. All food, litter, toys, and a cat tree included!
