Story
We are looking for a "Furever" home for this beautiful kitty. A few weeks ago "Jo Jo" as we call her showed up on the doorstep starving for both food and love. She has been to the veterinarian and has had her first round of shots, Profender ( broad spectrum for any worms), as well as Revolution Plus Orange ( 6 in 1 topical protection for fleas, ticks, heart worm etc. ) . I am attempting to get an appointment for next week for the remainder of her shots as well as being spayed. Jo Jo is a very loving and affectionate kitty who, now that she is well fed and has gained weight, is very playful as well. She is a mix of Abyssinina and Calico. Jo Jo has very long legs and a very long and tail and is both beautiful and graceful. We would love to keep her ourselves but we also have a 19 year old bird who does not appreciate our new guest and Jo Jo has taken a great interest in attempting to eat the bird. Jo Jo is warm and loving and needs a happy furever home.

Story
Molly showed up on my back deck in June with 3 nursing kittens. They had been living under my deck and probably the kittens were born there. 2 of the kittens have now been re-homed and I took in Molly and 1 kitten. Molly is very sweet and low key. She is both indoor and outdoor and overall does well in the house. She uses a scratching post and is well behaved but she has rejected using a litter box so she must live with someone who wants a cat that is both indoor and outdoor and is able to let her in and out. She has no indoor incidents as long as she can go outside to go to the bathroom. A pet door would be ideal. I travel frequently and can't have a cat I'm unable to leave inside for a several days at a time. (I have no good place to put a pet door, unfortunately). Molly is up to date with vet visits and shots, is very healthy, and has been spayed. I hope I can find Molly a forever loving home that will suite her needs. I am happy to provide more details - just message me.

Story
A person near my son's university was getting rid of kittens, and he accepted one. He knew I was allergic but thought he could keep her on campus. Ofcourse he could not, and she had no where else to go. However, I am extremely allergic and my health is not faring well. I don't want to put her out, but I need to be healthy again.

Story
Meet Seymour, a black American Bobtail kitten, aged 4 months. He was found at the age of 4 weeks. He is current on his vaccinations; has medical records and is neutered. This is a delightful, playful and social kitten. His unique qualities match all of the American Bobtail characteristics and we received confirmation from the veterinarian to support this. I am looking to find a loving home for him because I have other, older cats in the household and the addition of another animal goes beyond the limits for pets in my community. The American Bobtail is an uncommon breed of domestic cat that was developed in the 1960s. It is most notable for its stubby "bobbed" tail about one-third to one-half the length of a normal cat's tail. This is the result of a genetic mutation affecting the tail development, similar to that of a Manx cat. The American Bobtail is hearty, short-tailed cat with a moderately long, stocky body with a wedged shaped head and almond shaped eyes.

Story
We have three cats. The other two get along fine. Bridget has tortitude and attacks the other cats. She is thin, but healthy according to the vet. We think she is thin because of stress of the other cats. Lots of daily aggression. Gets upset and pees in a corner. She loves to sleep next to you and loves to give nose bumps, but does not always like to be petted. She is very loyal and follows you around. She talks. She would be very happy in an apartment and never go out. We have tried all the usual treatments, felloway, prescription medicine, extra cat boxes, separate food stations. Nice cat, but, she just needs a home where she is the only cat.
