Story
Simba, the cutest-chubby cat with big, beautiful emerald eyes, is a cuddle enthusiast. Every evening, he’d climb into your lap, purring contentedly as he nuzzled into your chest. At night, he slept beside you, warm and peaceful, never disturbing your rest. Come morning, he’d gently wake you with soft nudges, ready for breakfast and snuggles, but always patient and kind. With Simba, every moment is about love, comfort, and the joy of being close. Simba's toys, litter box, and other stuff comes free with him!

Story
They were found in a box in a tree with their sister after Helene. Their sister is happily housed elsewhere. Loki has the white spot in the middle of his face. Snape has the white mustache. Loki is a little more cuddly and outgoing, but Snape will curl up on your lap when you're on the computer or watching T.V. They love doing back flips to grab a feather, chasing the laser pointer, and watching what's happening on the street. They love to cuddle in bed with at night. Lots of purring. They may try to bathe you though watch out. They come with their litter box, water fountain, and a few weeks worth of wet food. These cats made me realize my allergies are so much worse in adulthood than in childhood. If it weren't for my allergies, they wouldn't be listed on here. They're really charming, loving, and fun boys.

Story
Link is 5 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten. He is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. He is not shy around strangers and will go right up to you and sit on your lap if you let him. If you feel like cuddling, just call him over and he will happily sit on your lap! He is very affectionate as well as very energetic! He loves being pet and chasing toys. He loves doing "cat-acro" where I put him on my feet and he hangs out in the air! I am rehoming him only because I am about to be traveling full-time and unfortunately just won't be able to care for him.

Story
Buttons is a cuddly, playful, and loving cat. He was adopted when he was 6 weeks old. It took him about 3 weeks to fully adjust to his home. He loves a comfortable spot to lay and prefers it to be up high. :) He lives for body rubs!! Whenever he wakes up he likes a session of rubs and hugs. Buttons loves to play with his feather stick. He will wake me up by dragging it towards me so I can hear the bell or he will stand on top of it and rub my leg to signal it’s play time. He hasn’t been around too many men, so that could definitely be an adjustment. He hates baths, but loves to be in the bathroom with you. He is the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. I wish I could be with him more and really give him the love he deserves. I hope the family that gets to know him will take him in as family to love and be loved.

Story
4 beautiful kittens for adoption! Two stray cats had kittens on our porch, and we’ve been caring for them ever since. There are 2 male gray striped kittens, 1 male mostly solid gray kitten, and 1 female brown kitten. All are SUPER sweet, playful, and love cuddling together and with our resident cats. They’re litter box trained, fully weaned, and around 12 weeks old. We’d love them to go to homes with another cat or be adopted in pairs. They’ve been indoor-only since birth. They are a little over 12 weeks old. Ideally, they are adopted to homes that have another cat or go home with a pair! They have been inside since they were born! We would love to set up a time to have a video call (FaceTime, WhatsApp, Zoom) so that you can see the kitten that you would like and to get to know them more before meeting. Please put an email you frequently answer and then we will coordinate a call from there :)!

Story
Peaches was born from a litter of a stray cat in a friend’s neighborhood. She was born indoor and has remained indoor her entire life. She is about two years old now. She has lived with a cat and dog her whole life but as she grew up she started not getting along with the dog. The dog follows her around due to herding genes and this has made peaches feel like she has no territory for herself. We are looking for a cat only home for her to enjoy some peace and quiet. She may be shy at first but she loves to cuddle (on her terms), loves to play especially with other cats, and loves treats and food. She has grown into a very clean, cuddly cat, with a healthy curiosity and playfulness about her.

Story
Hello! I am writing this for a refugee family who took in a stray cat. The daughter is 15 years old and has been caring for the cat since she was a kitten. However, the family is not able afford to give the cat medical care and needs to give her away very very soon. I am really struggling to help find a place to take the cat. We think she is about 8 months old. She will need to be vaccinated and neutered, but she is very friendly! She likes to play with toys.
