Story

I adopted Teddy in October 2021 from a rescue. Teddy turned 3 years old in July 2024. He is currently 10 pounds and in good health. No previous or ongoing health needs. Unfortunately, Teddy no longer gets along with my other cat and has become aggressive toward her. In Teddy's new home, I'm looking for a family (with or without children) who can give Teddy the full attention that he desires. I believe Teddy would thrive in a household where he is the only cat. Teddy can be territorial if other animals are in the home, which presents itself as aggressive behavior (jumping on top of other, less powerful cat). Teddy has always been very playful and loving. He is a sweet boy to all humans and very social. He is always the first to greet you at the door. He adjusted perfectly when I had my son in 2022 and continues to show a loving interest in spending time with him.

Story

Sylvan is a 3 1/2 year old shorthair/blue with a friendly, bold, smart, loving and playful personality. His paws have a beautiful silver coating that glisten in the light and he grooms himself very well. He enjoys a calm environment, lounging on a deck, and walks outside with his harness. He also loves drinking water from his fountain and eats dry and wet food for optimal health (salmon and tuna are his favorite). He gets along with other domesticated cats, is low maintenance and trained (knows his name, nickname(s), and several English action words), and welcomes interaction and affection. A one (1) month food supply and all rehoming supplies will be included for the perfect new owner.

Story

Tipsy & Harley are looking for their furever home. Tipsy is a 4 year old American Shorthair with Wobbly Cat Syndrome. He is a little skittish around new people, but if you’re his person you are his best friend and he will always want to be by your side. His CH is mild, so he doesn’t need any adaptations besides a high sided litter box and a raised water and food dish. Harley is a 3 year old American Shorthair. She is incredibly playful and cuddly, and will love spending time with her people. The two can be separated and go to two different homes, but I would love it if they can stay together.

Story

Chewy is a playful and chill cat who loves to sunbathe, chase toys, and comfy spots. He was rescued from my community last year and has taken to indoor life and is housebroken. He is up to date in all shots and vaccines and is fixed. He’s affectionate once he gets to know you, but doesn’t like his belly touched. He will nuzzle and loves snuggling in the couch. He also is good in the car and will let you pick him up and give him pets. We are looking for a new home for Chewy because we adopted a dog from a friend, and Chewy is very scared of the dog. He took a while to get used to my other cat, but they tussle still about once every other month. Since he has been scratching the dog, and the dog has been getting increasingly defensive, we are looking for a loving home for Chewy. He would be perfect for single-pet homes or someone who is looking for a calm buddy.

Story

Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel
