Story
A neighbor found Java in a local community garden and needs a good loving home. His shots will all be up to date be the end of April, had a healthy 1st vet visit. He is neutered and I have chipped him. He is sweet, affectionate, and has a fun personality. Loves to play, he will chase a ball you toss-he runs after it, it’s the cutest thing🤣. He needs a bigger home and more space than I am able to provide. I would love to help you if you are someone looking for a sweet - fluffy - quirky companion& can give Java the space and love he needs.

Story
Meet Benson! He is 2 years old and is ready to find his forever home! He was adopted from the Humane Society of MO. Our family already has 3 cats and we were hoping to add Benson to the family. Unfortunately, Benson is from a hoarding situation and has not developed great social skills when interacting with other cats. Benson does really well when he is not around other cats and we feel like he will make the perfect companion for a patient owner who can give him all of their love and attention. He lives up to the orange cat name and is very playful and frequently gets the zoomies. He LOVES his wand toys and anything with catnip, bells, or feathers. Benson also loves to snuggle and sleep curled up on your legs at night. Overall, Benson is a very cute and energetic boy who deserves the best home! We would love for you to come meet him and fall in love!

Story
Thomas is about two years old. He was originally taken in by neighbors as a stray kitten and lived with them for about a year until they kicked him out. My guess is he bit or scratched one of their children because he was extremely(!) reactive/aggressive when we took him in. They hadn't neutered or socialized him so he was a tom cat with behavioral issues. We got him neutered but he still terrorizes our other pets. He would be an amazing only pet! He has a big personality and can be very sweet and loving to humans. It has been very hard deciding to give him away, but I can't socialize him and keep my other pets safe. He has a cat wheel that his adopter is welcome to take. He does have a bit of a head tilt that we took him to the vet for, but the vet said he is totally fine and will just have that little quirk. He does occasionally try to play fight and while he doesn't bite/scratch me hard anymore, he is still feisty and may bite/scratch you if you get him too excited.
