Story
Ariel was rescued from Animal Welfare in March '23. She immediately caught our attention because she was so eager to love our two children (then 7 & 4). We already had two dogs (med & large) and another (f) cat. She blended into the home quickly enough and found her rhythm. Because we already had the dog door for the dogs to get to the backyard, Ariel discovered it and has shown her intelligence and capability by coming and going as she pleases. She will usually spend most mornings and afternoons outside lounging around the property & hunting lizards but does not wander far. She always comes back by dinner time and spends the evening inside and sleeps with us in the bed. She is now 4 years old, very intelligent, and affectionate (especially to the one who feeds her!) She has unfortunately developed a territorial problem with our other cat & has become inconsolable with this problem. We hate to see her go but feel that another home w/o another cat would be better suited for her comfort.

Story
(Buttered) Toast is sweet, playful, and gets along with my small dog. He loves to cuddle! (on his own terms) I'm looking for a home where he can receive all the attention and love he needs. I'm unsure if he's good with other cats because I don't have any, but I'm absolutely certain he'd prefer to have company who will play with him.

Story
Marlo does not have front claws and is only an inside cat. Marlo is a ~8yr old, light color calico with super soft short hair. She is a sweet girl that loves to sun bathe, getting some love, and sleeping with her family (lap and bed snuggles). She is a vocal cat that asks to be fed and have lovingly time. She isn’t good with dogs or cats that want to play. She is a low maintenance cat with lots of love to give. She needs a new home because she doesn’t get along with our other cats and has decided to hide under the bed. She deserves a better home where she can get all the love she wants.

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
He is a small, shy 3 year old cat, and he has been neutered. He is house trained and has the cutest squeaky mew. He rarely vocalizes when he is nervous or unsure of a situation, but is prone to hissing out of fear when approached. He loves to play when he becomes comfortable in an environment and enjoys back scratches. After getting comfortable with his home, he does enjoy sleeping on the bed with his family and he loves to eat. He has medium-to-low-level energy but is very very skittish. He gets along well with other cats, but has never been around dogs or small children. He was rescued as a kitten from a stray colony and is easily frightened. He is an indoor house-cat only looking for an experienced, patient cat owner and perhaps one or two other cat companions to play with.
