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.

Percy is 5 months (born September 2). He's a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy. He's playful (climbing & parkour apparently lol), fairly verbal. Loves to cuddle & be with his brother. I would prefer to keep them together, but he'd be okay with his person or with a friend!

Story
I'm a Tortie without the 'tude. I was an outdoor cat until last year when I had my last litter of kittens. I stopped being able to feed them when they were about 5 weeks old so the people who fed me on their porch brought us all into the house. They fed my kittens for me and once I realized that I no longer had to worry about finding shelter in the winter or in the rain and always had fresh water and food, I began to really like it inside. I was always friendly with the humans but now I could snuggle on nice soft blankets, beds, pillows...it was amazing. I used to catch lots of mice and even some birds but I'm learning that catching my tail is so much better. I love to play with ball towers and cat teasers, too. I even get along with their big dogs! The people who took me in are very nice but since they took my kittens and I in, they're stretched thin. They already had many cats before we got there. They love us but we need more room (&scritches)

Story
I rescues this cat and his brother (bonded pair hoping to rehome both together) from a hoarder about a year and a half ago. They really struggled with food aggression but we always assumed that was due to the situation of their old home. Now almost 2 years later the behaviors have just gotten worse and worse. It's to the point where we can't even eat around them because they will attack our food and hands. They are constantly breaking things and in search of food in our home despite many sources of entertainment and regular meals throughout the day. They are very sweet most of the time, its just any time food or drink are involved. It is breaking my family's heart but they are taking away more and more from our lives and we don't have the means or ability to care for them anymore and are in immediate search of new home for them.
