Story
Smudge would do well as either an only cat or with another cat at this age. He is ok around dogs, however can be skittish around large breeds or loud ones. He is between 8-9 weeks old, and is very independent. I would consider him one of the quiet ones. Smudge does know how to climb out of playpens. He is boxed trained and eats kitten food/canned tuna or chicken. He would do well with someone who works fulltime as he is very independent. He loves to play with his siblings however likes his alone time.

Story
Merlin was a feral cat taken from Camden, NJ in May 2024. He is about 3 years old. He was taken to a shelter where he was adopted by a family with kids. He was returned 3 days later for biting. I adopted him in August 2024. I found that he had behavioral issues such as biting when he gets over stimulated and aggressive behavior towards strangers, especially children. His biting has improved but he still gets over excited and will bunny kick and act very mouthy at times. He is very affectionate with me, but will sometimes react strongly to strangers. Once he warms up to someone, he is smart, energetic, and sweet. He loves interactive toys that he can wrestle with and he will carry around smaller toys and put them in your shoes. He loves milk, chicken, and sleeping on laps. He enjoys short adventures outside and chasing cat wands. He can get along with certain cats, but introduce them slowly. I would like him to go to an experienced adopter in a single or two person household.

Story
Four year old, healthy male cat. 100% indoors. Well behaved. Great with kids. Gentle and laid back temperament. A bit shy around strangers but particularly likes kids. We rescued him as a kitten but my daughter has developed a terrible allergy to cats. She has been trying to manage but it has really affected her wellbeing. We are also moving overseas (to a county it is difficult to import cats) and this seemed like the right time to try and rehome.

He would love for someone to give him a chance to be a normal cat and he has so much love to give you. Lucas is neutered and up to date on his shots.

Story
Donut is a charming 5.5 month old male pure bred British Shorthair. He has a lovely silver coat, along with striking blue green eyes. Donut loves to play with a wand and has a sweet personality. I've never seen him hiss or growl, although he does need some time to feel at ease. We brought him home from a breeder around two months ago, but sadly, he hasn't adjusted well to living with my young children. He tends to get frightened easily when my kids are home, goes to his hiding spot until my kids are in bed at night. I want him to find a forever home where he is not stressed and be relaxed and happy. We are looking for a home without young children or other pets. He is fully vaccinated, not neutered.
