Story
So we’ve had Paws from CDS ( cat distribution system) :) he has a twin brother that we found him with. We’ve only had them for a brief period. I have four children from 15-6 years old who love them and cuddle and play with them all the time. We are moving in two weeks and can not bring the boys with us unfortunately. Paws is full of personality, he’s the more sensible brother but still a cat who does his own thing, he’s very chill he likes music, balls, and lasers. He has never lived with any animal besides cats. I’m hoping he finds a loving forever home!

Story
Pretty girl was rescued by my aunt as a Kitten in 2012. She lived exclusively with adults and no other pets. My aunt passed away in 2023 and until last week, Pretty Girl was cared for by my grandmother (who passed earlier this month - March 2025). Unfortunately, no one in the family is equipped to care for Pretty Girl permanently and we have not had any luck with extended family or friends. We are hoping to find a home for Pretty Girl without young children and other pets. She has lived exclusively with adults her whole life and we think she is best suited to live out her senior years in a similar situation. Pretty Girl can be shy but with patience and time we believe she will thrive.

Chad is very friendly and outgoing. He is a cheerful cat, and he is a good sport. Chad likes to play, he is very good at catching toys attached to a cat fishing pole and he is very social. Chad likes our other cats and he cuddles with them at times. Chad is an amazing cat and we love him very much. We just can't take care of all the cats we currently have.

Story
Meet Baylor - Your New Best Friend! Baylor is a 1-year-old male cat looking for his forever home. He may be a little shy at first, but once you start petting him, he’ll warm up to you quickly and show you his gentle, loving nature. Baylor is a true couch potato who loves lounging around and soaking up all the attention you’re willing to give him. He’s mellow, snuggly, and enjoys a calm, cozy atmosphere. Baylor gets along well with other cats, dogs, and children, making him an excellent addition to a family with other pets. He’s just looking for a safe space to relax, snuggle, and enjoy the simple things in life. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion to cuddle with, Baylor would be the perfect fit for you! He is currently in Tennessee, but can be transported Northeast to meet you.  If interested, please contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 2, 2024, 1:01 pm

Story
Hello, I have something come up in my life and will have to leave the country for at least 3 months. Can’t bring my cat because I just microchipped her and she needs to be microchipped 21 days before she can travel. She is like a baby to me and I’m so sad that I have to leave her behind. I’m looking for someone that is looking to get a feel of what’s like to have a pet cat or a person that I can trust to keep my cat for a couple of months until I can take her back. She just needs a caring and loving home until I can get her. I will supply all the food for the mean time. I can also give you something to help. She is very loving and likes to cuddle. Very social and can be around people. She can have a sassy personality but overall so adorable. She is almost 1 year old but looks very petite.
