Good evening everyone this is Slippers! We’re looking to unfortunately rehome her . She’s our sweet old lady and we love her so much but we’re gonna be stationed over seas and won’t be able to take all of our cats with us .

She’s incredibly sweet and loves people , she enjoys playing and cuddling. We just really want to find her a good and compatible home . She’s fixed and up to date on all her shots/microchipped and up to date with dental care . She’ll come with her paperwork/automatic feeder and her things , we’re looking for a 50$ fee rehoming and willing to help with travel Thank you again!

Story

Hi! I am Bert. I am one of six born on Oct 17, 2024 and am 5 months old. I am the most demanding for attention and affection of my litter. My momma is a lovely feral neighborhood orange cat. I am a small sweet naughty boy who talks, loudly when I want love. My brothers and I have been in a foster home since we were born. I have only lived indoors and think I'd do best with limited or controlled outdoor exposure (like a catio). The vets say we are all very well behaved! We've gotten all our shots, deworming and clean bill of health. I was just neutered 3/22/2025. If you promise to love me furever I promise I will be a wonderful companion. I demand to be held and then I wiggle lots, reposition then nuzzle necks or try to parrot cat to tell you I love you. I am also an escape artist but am not sneaky about it, I just insist on exploring. I love laser pointer toys and feathers! P.S. Our foster mum rescued us on her own and took on all vet costs, she doesn't get donations like a rescue.

Story

Hello! I am Ernie! I am one of six born on Oct 17, 2024 and am 5 months old. I am the shy boy of my litter but I want lots n lots of play. I seem distant but when I get scritchers I lean into them and then gently play with the hand. I am quiet unless I want attention then I make very cute mews. My brothers and I have been in a foster home since we were born. I only have lived indoors and would do best with limited or controlled outdoor exposure (like a catio). The vets say we are all very well behaved! We've gotten all our shots, deworming and clean bill of health. I was just neuter on 3/22/2025. If you promise to love me furever I promise I will be a wonderful companion. I love my shoulders rubbed. I am probably the most 'chill' of my siblings. I get the kitty zoomies and bounce all around my home. I am obsessed with laser pointer toys and destroy feather toys! P.S. Our foster mum rescued us on her own and took on all vet costs, she doesn't get donations like a rescue.

Story

Hi! I am Lil Rascal! I am one of six born on Oct 17, 2024 and am 5 months old. I was the 'runt' but I loooove food so I got a big belly. I am a troublemaker and I was the first one in my litter to show my foster-hoomie my chaos gremlin tude! My brothers and I have been in a foster home since we were born. The vets say we are all very well behaved! We've gotten all our shots, deworming and I occasionally have some eye gunk but otherwise a clean bill of health. I will be neutered at 6months old if I haven't been adopted. I have only inside and think I'd do best with limited or controlled outdoor exposure (like a catio). I haven't shown myself to like water much. I love cuddles, play and am 'fierce' with my siblings, my whiskers are all nubs to prove it. I'm a wiggle worm & I will head butt your head to tell you I love you. I climb on EVERYTHING and have the kitty zoomies many hours of the day! I should have a furbuddy and they have to want play with me or I'll drive em crazy!

Story

MiMi was a rescue cat from the local pet store in March 2022. She has been with us for almost three years but, unfortunately, our growing human family and obligations outside the home prevent us for caring for her the way she deserves. She is shy at first but very loving once she gets to know you. She loves to lay on your lap or chest. She enjoys playing games from time to time but is generally low key.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Luna and her sister Binx came to me from a friend who was moving into a rental where she’s not allowed to have cats. She was very nervous to put them in a shelter so I offered to take them in temporarily. I was open to keeping them permanently if my cat got along with them, which she does not and I have to keep them in their own room right now which makes me very sad. They’re such sweet, loving, curious, friendly girls. They’ve lived with other cats and dogs and have even interacted with my rabbits and guinea pigs and seem to be super comfortable with animals. Good with kids too. They love to play, snuggle, explore, very reactive to catnip. They are bonded and need to stay together. The only health thing that I’ve noticed is they seem to maybe have some allergies as they’re prone to sneezing and they kinda snort a little bit when they’re sniffing around a new area. I’m looking for a home for them where they’ll have lots of love and space. If that’s you please reach out to me!

Thea

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Newport News, VA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Thea is a shy, mostly "blue" cat. She is about 7 years old and was found in between some walls of a office building when she was a few weeks old as a kitten. She has been living inside since then and never been back out. She is a timid, and shy cat and would likely benefit from a more quiet household. She currently lives with several other cats and has no issues getting along with any of them. She has never really been around dogs so I am unsure how she would be with them. I think if the dog is calm and not a high drive energetic energy type they will be fine. She may start off shy and hide for a bit before she gets used to her new surroundings but when she gets comfortable she will cuddle with you on the bed, on the couch and will want attention. She loves to give you chin rubs and will talk to you in her high squeaky voice. She might do pretty well with rehoming as she might end up exploring on her own.
