Story
Navi was rescued from the naval base at 6 weeks old. She grew up with cats and dogs and is now 1.5 years old. She's VERY playful but does like to snuggle when she's worn out. She has never had an accident and will do tricks for squeezy treats (I was able to train her to sit). She is curious about everything like sitting on the counter while we wash dishes, hopping into new boxes, and exploring cabinets and closets she never gets to see.Our favorite thing about her is that she greets us at the door when we get home and has crawled up a leg to sit on the shoulder of her favorite person. She will come with all toys, food, litter, and her own litter box if needed. She truly is a gem, and we are sad to have to say goodbye. Unfortunately our older cats have never adjusted to her, despite her strong desire to play with them. Ideally, she deserves a playmate (feline or human) that can match her energy. We just want the best home for her.

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!

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.

Story
Moosey is mostly white, with a black mask and a black spot on her body. She is about 9 years old and was brought inside 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 very loving cat who LOVES attention. She will grab your hand so that you give her pets, and sometimes will give love bites. She currently lives with several other cats and has no issues getting a long with any of them. She has been around dogs a little so I think she would be okay with them. I think that if the dog gets in her personal space looking to "play" she might "defend" herself. She will most likely be very open to a new space and I think she would adjust very quickly. She will cuddle with you on a bed, on the couch and will always want attention.

Story
Stash is a typical tuxedo cat with a small black mustache. He has a very large body in height and length as you will see in the last picture. He is about 9 years old and was brought inside when he was a few weeks old as a kitten. He has been living inside since then and never been back out. He is a very loving and laid-back cat who will cuddle with you whenever you want. He currently lives with several other cats and has no issues getting along with any of them. He has been around dogs before and with his laid-back personality I think he would be just fine with other dogs. All the other cats in the house see him as a big brother, follow him around, and will sleep with him all the time. He will most likely be very open to a new space and I think he will adjust very quickly. He will cuddle with you on a bed, on the couch and will always love attention from you or guests.
