Story
Hi my name is Meiko. I am 14 years old. I am a indoor cat. I love a lap to sit in and snuggle up. In the summer time I like to sun bath on the patio and watch the birds. I get along with other dogs. I am a pretty chill cat that enjoys naps during the day.

Story
Maddox is the absolute sweetest cat. He loves cuddling, having his belly rubbed, and sitting in the window. He is generally quiet and likes to do his own thing, but when things are calm, he loves to lay behind his favorite humans on the back of the couch with his head on their shoulder. Maddox enjoys batting toys around and chasing a laser pointer. He likes to sleep where it's a little cooler: window sill, hard floors, and even the bathroom sink! Because of his fluffy paws, he needs non-clumping litter so it doesn't get stuck between his toes. He is approximately 4 years old.

Story
Binx is all about the cuddles! He is super curious and outgoing. He loves blankets, batting toys around, and following his favorite human around the house. He is very smart and knows how to fetch certain types of toys. He gets anxious when his humans are gone too long during the day and would do best with someone who works from home or is retired and has a more stable schedule. He and his brother Maddox enjoy chasing each other and napping together next their humans on the couch. Binx is a great cat who has never missed the litter box and only throws up if he gets too anxious or is given the wrong food. He is approximately 4 years old.

Story
Newton is 5 years old and a very fat cat. He is a lover although at times wants to be left alone. He is used to sleeping in bed at night, quite frankly he sleeps all day. He foam feeds and likes lickables as a from time to time treat. I will be traveling for work too often to take care of him so I am looking for a loving home for him.
