Story
It all started in October 2013 I worked at petsmart at the time in Fort Lauderdale, Florida . I was at work and a man outside was like there is a tiny kitten up in that tree. I was like “oh noo!!” And this man climbed up that tree and got her down . She was sooo cute up close and so sweet since the beginning . Then they place her in a kennel in the clock in room awaited to be taken to who knows where sooo... I called my ex bf at the time and was like you said you wanted a kitty and there’s a beautiful kitten staring at me . He was so excited we adopted her then we moved to N.C. she was 4 when we split up .. a lot has changed in my life and I am soo incredibly busy I just want her to find her forever home . She’s soo sweet and loves making biscuits . Her favorite places are next to her owner on the couch and she loves soft plush blankets . She is best alone with no cats or other dogs . I have other animals and she just isn’t happy with them around . That’s why I’m rehoming her as well.

Story
This is a super sweet affectionate smallish female cat. Spayed! Up to date on shots! Still has 10+ months of health plan at Banfield Vet. I have NEVER seen her jump on the counters. Always uses litter box. Her only fault is she just won't play nice with the boy cat I already have. My daughter brought her home from the street, hungry and needy but oh so sweet. Even tho I wasn't wanting another cat the Humane society was full so I've tried to keep her. If only she would not be so rough on my boy. She really needs to be an only cat, although she was not fearful or aggressive to my elderly small/medium dog. She does have a bit of a nasal condition that antibiotics have not cleared up, vet thinks nasal polyps or deviated septum, she just makes cute piggy noises. Wants to be your lap cat, with pretty green eyes and nice raccoon tail.

Story
Hiya! My name is Kimberly Moss and I’m trying to re-home my 1 1/2 year old cat. I’ve been extremely unsuccessful finding someone to take her in. I hate the thought of having to leave her at a shelter. She really is such a sweet girl and oh so very soft! I accepted a travel position at Oschner, in Shreveport (LA), and just can’t take her with me. It’s a thirteen week contract. I’m scheduled to leave on Sunday, September 22, but have to find her somewhere to go before I leave. I’m suppose to check in at my accommodation(s) Monday, after 4:00pm. So, if you are willing and interesting in taking her in, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your time! Kimberly Moss

Story
Kodi is a very sweet, somewhat shy girl. She was born in a feral colony but was able to be tamed and brought indoors. Her favorite activity is lounging in her cat tree and looking out of the window. She would likely do best in a quiet home with the patience to allow her to come out of her shell. When adopted, she will come with a litter box, bag of litter, bag of cat food, and 1 month of Revolution flea preventative.

Story
If you are looking for a friendly, cuddly and playful pal Sqints is your guy! He is 1 of 4 kittens. And is the only boy! Someone dropped them & his beautiful mama off when they were just born. Our family took them in & has loved them up ever since! Sqints is very active! Loves to chase and wrestle your hand! He let's you pick him up and play with his arms and paws. His coat is ultra soft and he's great with other cats and children! We would love to see the family stay together and get adopted as a group but we are aware that's wishful thinking. Letting them go will be tough! A loving, caring and devoted home is a must! Sqints is a wonderful cat with a "pal" like attitude!

Story
I was Bitty's rehome when a friend of mine could no longer take care of her. About a year and a half ago, she came into my home and brightened it up immediately. After the general assimilation period, she became the loving and curious cat that I know now. When she first entered my home, I had to keep her in a separate room from my other cat, because out of fear she acted aggressively toward him. As time went on, Bitty explored more and more of her new home and the two have become close. They're playful together and know each other's boundaries. Bitty hates to be held, but is loving in many other ways. While she may be right under your feet sometimes, it's because she loves you. She'll lay next to you in bed or on the couch and knead on you, or a nearby blanket. She loves back scratches and the occasional tummy rub. She is not declawed, but I will provide you with a cat tree that serves as her scratching post and her favorite place to nap.
