Story
Nico was found very young and bottle fed. He is now about 8 months old and very friendly and playful with green eyes and a shiny pure black coat. He came to live with me when family needed a home for him. I am now desperate to rehome him. I have mobility issues and will have to take him to a shelter if he doesn't find a home within the next week. He is very good with people and with kids, even my twin 2 year old granddaughters. Nico has a lot of affection to give and I hope there is someone our there who can give him a 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.

Story
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
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!
