Story
Gryffon is a sweet boy. He loves people and is good with chill dogs. I am moving and will be living with my mom who is allergic. He is on special urinary tract health food (Purina) as he gets crystals in his urine if he doesn't. He loves to lay in your lap but doesn't really like being picked up. His auto-clean litter box, water fountain and food dish will acompany him. I have a female cat that will also be rehomed that he invades her space and they fight. That is the only experience he has with other cats. He may do fine with a non-territorial cat.

Hello!! This is Cheddar, he is 2-3 years old. He is up to date on all of his shots, he has tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia and he was de-wormed and flea treated within the past month. He is a very very sweet, friendly and cuddly cat. The perfect couch cat! His favorite toys are fake fabric mice and wand toys. He’s very vocal and will let you know when he wants to cuddle!

Story
Simba (AKA Jake) is will make a great addition to your home! He is very people oriented, He loves to be carried on your shoulder, and use to being held like a baby. He is a leg rubber, purrs loud, and likes to lick you to show his affection. He has always been the biggest in his litter and will be a big boy! He is so tidy in his litter pan, that if one of his siblings doesn't cover, he covers it! He is a pampered indoor baby only (INDOOR ONLY). He is a handsome yellow and white dreamsicle. He is just a great boy! He has a twin brother (very similar) names Riley. Riley had beautiful bullseyes on his sides! The adoption fee is the same for 1 or 2. So you can adopt siblings for $45 fee for both or still adopt just one for $45. Willing to transport within a hour radius. Vet reference required. Questions? Call 740/642-4260 Happy Pets

Story
Max is a sweetheart who is happiest snuggling in a lap or snoozing under a bed. He loves pets and attention. He has lived his whole life with another cat, so with time I'm sure he'd adjust to living with a new cat. He hasn't been around a dog since he came to live with us at 10 wks old. I think he'd do fine with a mellow dog. Max spent the first 4 wks of his life living outside with a feral mom, so his fight or flight instincts are very present but it's ALWAYS flight. He has never been at all aggressive. He runs away when people come into the house but will return if it's a person he's comfortable with. I do think a noisier/busier home would be too stressful for him. When my kids and grandkids come over as a bigger group, he stays hidden away until they leave. He will come out for quieter guests that come around often. He has never had any litter box issues and his front claws have been removed. I want to find him a home with someone who will love him like we do. (DOB 4/9/19)

Story
Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.
