Story
Meet Sushi. She is healthy and happy, house-trained and loves to be indoor-outdoor, but is content being indoor-only. Shes 3 years old. I travel every other week and feel it’s not fair to have her home solo so much. She’s lived with kids and other pets before, and while I think she’d thrive as the only pet, she can roll w anything. She does get intimidated by alpha dogs, but enjoys meek/sweet/mild-mannered ones. She’s truly a fantastic kitty and bonds easily to loving humans.

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

Story
I got Swami in February of 2019. He's roughly 6 years old. It's quite hard for me to create this profile because I love this cat - but I move a lot and am gone a lot and it is just not fair to him. I am also more allergic than I thought. I have only had one cat relationship but I find him rather attuned to his owner. He is chill, adaptable, tactile; loves his big belly rubbed and can be held like a baby and kissed all over his face if you so desire. He has been all indoor as well as indoor outdoor. Currently living with a younger female cat and no issues. Once bonded he loves to go on strolls in the neighborhood off leash at night when it is quiet. He will even sit for treats! I think Swami would be great for someone who wants a close relationship with a cat - ideally with the option of going outside. Questions welcome!

Story
Gerard (named for Gerard Way) is a stray local to my apartment complex that I befriended last fall. Food bonded us. He can be food motivated but not as much as he used to be. After allowing me to feed him a few times, Gerard began flopping at my feet and asking for pets. He still does this today. Since being neutered, Gerard has become a very loving cat that is accepted by the other cats in our household. He plays with our kitten, rolls in catnip and enjoys toys. He likes talking with humans as well. Sometimes he gets sassy but is good at giving warnings. A hiss almost always comes before he punches (uses force instead of claws). This often happens when he is ready to be let down from being held. His preferred petting spots are on the top of the head, his cheeks and his chin. The tummy or tail can make him upset. Gerard is also great with cuddles, preferring to lay next to someone as opposed to on them. He would work great in a single pet house or with other fixed cats.

Story
Meet Banta, a loving and gentle brown tabby looking for her forever home. Banta is 12 years old and has been a cherished member of our family for most of her life. She thrives in a calm and quiet environment, which we are unable to provide now that we have two small children. Banta's sweet and sometimes shy nature shines through when she gets to snuggle and play. She's in great health overall, though she does have a history of rare urinary tract infections, which are well-managed with a urinary care stress diet. She was also declawed as a kitten. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to bring warmth and joy to your home, Banta is the perfect cat for you. She deserves a home where she can receive all the attention and love she's accustomed to.
