Story
This cat arrived at our property looking for a home. She appears to have one kitten tagging along and we are afraid the mother could be pregnant again. We cannot take her as our cats and dog do not get along with her. Kitten, that is following this female along, will go with her if it can be caught. Kitten is still nursing.

Story
Hello! My foster mom calls me Bunny and I live on her porch. My mom is a neglected neighbor's pet who has had too many litters before me to want to take good care of me. I was born in the Spring and am about 2 seasons old. I am in need of a loving home with a reliable food source and cuddles. I love to be close to you, crawl between your feet, follow you around and watch all the cool things you do. I also sleep alot to get my kitty strength. I love playing with butterflies in the garden. I'm already pregnant, so my foster mom is getting me spayed and getting me all my shots. I spent some time in her home and she trained me to use the litter box when I was very small, so I should remember quickly. I grew up around kids and dogs for the first month of my life, so as long as your dogs are good with cats, I should be OK! I am still shy right now, so may hide from kids in the beginning, but am used to seeing them around. I'm still young, so very adaptable. I am so excited to meet you!

Story
We took Sunday in off the street when she was a kitten. She had an infection that has been treated, but she still has minor scaring around her eyes. Her name is Sunday, but she responds to the name Kiki as well. Sunday is about two years old and is a very sweet girl. She is incredibly sweet and gentle as well as getting along well with strangers, dogs, cats, and children. She has had a single litter of kittens, but since then she has been spayed. Although she loves to be pet and cuddled, she does not like to be held. She has never scratched anyone, she just makes unhappy noises when picked up. She has lived inside and outside, but is definitely more suited to be an indoor cat. She is very food motivated. Unfortunately I am moving out of my parents house and can only bring one of our two cats with me. Sundays daughter is more aggressive and hard to win over, so I feel Sunday would more easily assimilate into a new home.

Story
Captain is a kitty with sever Wobblers Syndrome. He does not need special medical attention for this but he's very wobbly. He's a calm, affectionate guy who just wants to lay around a buddy. My animals that I do have bully and attack him. Over the past year he's lost some weight and I'm afraid my other cat may attack him severally when I'm not home. He's great with kids. I have children who Ragdoll him around and he never even growls at them. He's so kind hearted and I'm looking for a loving home for him. ***CAPTAIN UPDATE*** After being in a different environment older children would be preferred.

Story
Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.
