Story
This cat was laying at my door when I moved into my apartment 2 yrs ago, with a bloody stub of a tail! She wanted to be friendly but swatted and scratched me when I tried to pet her. She continued to hang around and would great me when I came home from work, still wanting to be affectionate. I quick pet and immediate swat! This has gone on for 2 yrs now. My family even purchased a insulated cat house for her because they didn’t want any thing to happen to her. I have feed her twice a day as I do my own cats. She comes in, rubs against my legs now, allows and wants me to pet her, and I do. My cats do not accept her. She can’t stay with me and my leasing company will charge me $50 per month plus $500 deposit to keep her. I’m on a fixed income. My heart breaks for her. She is finally coming out of her shell and gives body signals before she swats. I wish I could keep her, but I can’t afford her. So very sorry. A lady with a loving heart and gentle voice and touch would be a gift to her

Story
one fateful evening a couple of months ago i got a phone call from my father. he was hanging out at our neighbors farm when kittens appeared out of a dumpster. they wanted my dad to kill them, he called me instead. so here i am now with three kittens and 5 cats of my own. but i could not let anything bad happen to these babies. they need a home with someone who wants a lap cat and a little companion that wants to follow them wherever they go. they absolutely LOVE dogs, i have two big shepherds (who love cats) that have made these kittens very relaxed around dogs. they are also splendid with my adult kitties as well. from day 1 they used the litter box like pros, and they love their wet food with dinner. they will sleep in your bed with you at night and on your lap during the day. there are two boys and one girl and i can’t express enough how loving and sweet these kitties are despite coming from a dumpster. please help me find loving homes!!

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.
