Story
Hello, I have something come up in my life and will have to leave the country for at least 3 months. Can’t bring my cat because I just microchipped her and she needs to be microchipped 21 days before she can travel. She is like a baby to me and I’m so sad that I have to leave her behind. I’m looking for someone that is looking to get a feel of what’s like to have a pet cat or a person that I can trust to keep my cat for a couple of months until I can take her back. She just needs a caring and loving home until I can get her. I will supply all the food for the mean time. I can also give you something to help. She is very loving and likes to cuddle. Very social and can be around people. She can have a sassy personality but overall so adorable. She is almost 1 year old but looks very petite.

Story
Nico was found very young and bottle fed. He is now about 8 months old and very friendly and playful with green eyes and a shiny pure black coat. He came to live with me when family needed a home for him. I am now desperate to rehome him. I have mobility issues and will have to take him to a shelter if he doesn't find a home within the next week. He is very good with people and with kids, even my twin 2 year old granddaughters. Nico has a lot of affection to give and I hope there is someone our there who can give him a forever home.

Story
My names Mittah Mac, I’m a two year old tux with two thumbs on each hand. I have a brother cow cat, 2 years old squints, that I’m very attached to. I ask whoever wants to adopt me, please keep me and squints together. I am curious, loving to squeeze into any box or cabinet left open. My full time job is being a watch for the house, I enjoy going outside in my harness when allowed. I am super playful with the many toys I come with , and of course my brother. I just love being included in whatever you are doing! Cuddling on my own time is nice, I will usually lay at ur feet. Lastly, I enjoy being held by putting you arm underneath my belly, I do not enjoy being on my back. I’m looking for a forever home with my brother. Please contact me with further questions/Inquiry.

Story
Pretty girl was rescued by my aunt as a Kitten in 2012. She lived exclusively with adults and no other pets. My aunt passed away in 2023 and until last week, Pretty Girl was cared for by my grandmother (who passed earlier this month - March 2025). Unfortunately, no one in the family is equipped to care for Pretty Girl permanently and we have not had any luck with extended family or friends. We are hoping to find a home for Pretty Girl without young children and other pets. She has lived exclusively with adults her whole life and we think she is best suited to live out her senior years in a similar situation. Pretty Girl can be shy but with patience and time we believe she will thrive.

These pups are in Providence, Rhode Island too!
