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
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.

Archer is sweet, healthy boy. He loves to cuddle up and sit on laps. We think he would do well with an adult household where he can be the baby. He's had a hard time adjusting to a house with small children and just doesn't get the attention he needs.

Story
Friend is a cute 1 year old brown tabby that came to us just before Christmas 2024. She was on a neighboring apartment window ledge and had the sweetest temprament as soon as we met her. She is a very loving cat that is very energetic. She seeks attention regularly and is VERY food motivated. She needs a home filled with live and the ability to give her the love and quality of life she deserves.
