Valentino is an orange short haired cat that arrived on my doorstep on Valentines day. He is ultra vocal (purrs and meows) very friendly and loves to explore!

Story

Dutch has had a long and difficult life. He was shot with a bb when he was a kitten and has a goofy walk. He was a stray for some time, but was adopted and unfortunately seized from his previous home. You would never know he had ever had a bad life as he is the sweetest cat you’ve ever met. He loves to snuggle and sit on your lap. He likes to sleep in bed with you and be anywhere you are. He’s talkative and overall an amazing cat. He does require some medication. He would be a great fit for someone who had a lot of time to give him all the love and attention he deserves.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

An old friend gifted me two kittens, brothers from the same litter, about five years ago. Since they've been in my care, both have lived incredibly happy lives, as they are relentlessly curious. A few months ago, one began expressing hostility toward Hades, despite a half decade living harmoniously; consequently, Hades can no longer be around his brother. Irrespective of their sibling rivalry, Hades remains uniquely himself when separate: unbelievably affectionate, calm, low maintenance, and desiring of love. He demands consistent attention, but has no problem relaxing on the couch next to you either. Moreover, he is eager to meet strangers, and welcoming of human presence. Hades deserves a loving home where he can freely be the warm cat I know he is!

Meow is very sweet, affectionate, and always wants to cuddle. She is very good with kids as I have a toddler and older children. Her purrs are so relaxing and just releases your stress. She is not spayed but is scheduled for one in July which I will pay for. She has a brother who is also for adoption named Zelda. They can be adopted separately but they have been together since birth. I am not asking for any adoption fee but requests to please be loving, caring, and be their safe space. Due to divorce and needing to move homes, our new landlord does not agree with having pets at home.

Story

Rashita is a rescued cat from the shelter, we got her 7 years ago. She was very scared when we got her as a kitten she was a strayed cat before getting to the shelter . At only 8 weeks old we adopted her and has been with us since we are the only family she knows or has been. Although she’s is very scared of the outdoors she loves to peak her head out to watch the birds chirp in the mornings . We have a dog that is 12 now and their relationship hasn’t been the best. Rashita has her own room with her litter and food all to her self she’s very to her self doesn’t like people hides when we have visitor. Her only major problem is . She pees on beds sofa and anything she finds on the floor from time to time. I attribute this to anxiety or anger towards to dog or whenever she misses a bit of food or water. Never goes a day without eating and pees in her litter daily . We don’t know what else to do. Maybe is the dog the kids or us she doesn’t like n would enjoy a solo family instead.

Story

HONEY Meet Honey! After realizing that she didn't like sharing her humans with other cats, Lovepaws took in this sweet girl to help find her a wonderful and loving furrever home. She would love to be your one and only! She enjoys daily belly dancing and loves to hear how beautiful she is. She craves human company. Honey is as sweet as her name, keeps her claws to herself, and rubs up against hands, legs, arms, computers, furniture - all of it! As an advocate of work-life balance, she will very gently (but insistently) tap on your arm if you pay too much attention to your phone. Honey loves to play with string toys, lasers, and little toys she can chase. Her day usually starts with a drink at her water fountain before gently pawing her foster parents awake. Before breakfast, she shows off her belly, collects some head scratches, and rubs herself against everyone and anything. Zooooooommmming up and down the stairs, climbing the cat condo, and chasing toy mice complete her pre-breakfast workout. Honey loves watching the outside through her favorite window and finding a comfy place to nap. This girl needs you to follow her lead and take the time to get to know her. But her foster parents say her trust is worth the wait! Honey is up to date on vaccinations and spayed! Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here! June 13, 2025, 9:28 am

Story

We have had Chaos since she was a kitten and sadly she does not get along with our other cats and is causing them stress. She is an amazing cat but needs to be the sole fuzzy pet of the house. She loves cuddling, likes to sit at the dinner table, loves playing with string and lasers. She loves being around her humans and loves attention. She also loves sleeping under the covers. She will meow at you when it's time for bed. We are currently trying to get her used to a harness to go on walks. She has an amazing personality but we can't get rid of our other 3 cats for her, especially since two of them are seniors. She is *chunky*. We are trying to help her lose weight but we're having a hard time balancing between a food motivated cat and another cat with hyperthyroidism. The adoption fee is to make sure she goes to a safe and loving home.

Story

We found Mr. Meowser when he was a few months old on the side of the highway. He loves to play with other cats but sadly it has only stressed out my senior cats. I don't want to confine Meowser to a single room, so I'm hoping to find a loving home for him. He loves being held like a baby while being walked around. He likes sitting at the dinner table. He's definitely food motivated and *loves* ham & oddly enough sourdough starter. He loves toys and will play one sided fetch with you! Like his name implys he is talkative but not too talkative. He'll respond when you talk to him. He is scared of strangers so it could take him a bit to warm up, but he has the coolest personality. He prefers to sleep on a cat tree than a bed, but he's still super affectionate and loves to give head butts and get pets. The adoption fee is to weed out anyone with nefarious ideas.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to read this profile. I am looking for a loving home for my cat Felix. He is 10 years old. My husband of 53 years recently passed away and I have to leave our home. Where I am moving doesn't allow pets. I don't want to take him to a shelter. I really hope you find it in your heart to adopt my precious Felix. He will be truly missed but I hope he is able to bring joy to your life as he has mine.

Story

Gussy came to us as a kitten about 4 or 5 months old. We already had 2 grown females. Everyone made progress getting along until Gussy moved away to college (his boy moved and went along). When they returned, Gussy was bigger than the girls, and they will not accept him, constantly hissing and swatting. This is not Gussy's fault, he wants to play with the girls and gets along beautifully with a neighbor's cat. He deserves a place where he can roam the house and be accepted and have someone to play with, people, dogs, cats, he will play with anyone. He is a wonderful "Velcro" cat hanging out with the people and dogs in our house. He does very well on leash, loves going out for walks on his halter or rides in his backpack, loves children, snuggling, steals food like a dog, and runs to greet all visitors for scratches. I am hoping to find a home with people or animals that he can follow around and love.
