Socks
Socks is approx. 1.5 years, neutered and has been dewormed and vaccinated. He’s a very cuddly cat, he's also a talker!!
He would be best as a single cat home, unless you have the time and patience to do a proper introduction to other animal, he has just discovered playing with toys and uses his claws quite a bit and is a little rough with other cats.
Brady
Brady is 4 years old. He is a big, goofy, friendly giant. He is very smart, we often refer to him as our second dog. He is a very vocal, & playful kitty. He is a hog for attention & cuddles. He also loves to spend time in his cat tree on the highest level. He loves to bird watch & spend some time outdoors if possible. The only thing he is afraid of is the vacuum! We feel that he needs to be in a settled home. He has moved 4 times in the last 3 years which has caused him a lot of stress. We have too crowded of a household & we feel he needs a more calm environment where he can be the king & center of attention.
Pollo
Meet Pollo (chicken in spanish), he chose that name as it is the only think that’ll turn his head. He loves chicken! This handsome kitty is both loving and spicy. Born on a barn and moving around a lot (with the same owner) has not been easy for him. He’s very anxious but with the right person, TLC and patience he can be your best friend. He is very active, loves to play and run around. Pollo is also extremely smart, knows how to do tricks for treats and will outsmart you. He loves to talk and chirp. When he’s winding down, he loves to sun bathe and will enjoy taking long day time naps with you. He needs a home with no children, preferably not an apartment so he can feel safe in his space and no smaller animals or female cats.
Brownie
This is Brownie, a 6-7 y/o timid cat that my elderly Dad coaxed into the house when she was about a year old. Unfortunately, he can no longer manage her care. She is a lap cat on her terms, needs daily combing, reliably uses the litter box and likely prefers to be a single pet with someone experienced with cats.
Lily
Lily is a playful 8 year old tabby. She enjoys watching birds and bunnies outdoors. Lily has a fun, quirky personality and is the perfect fit for an experienced cat lover.
She will curl up on your lap contentedly for hours. Lily is best suited for a home without children, and has lived in a house with a small dog. Once you have made your connection with her, she will be a very loyal friend!
Snowball
Meet Snowball!
He is independent, smart, curious, and responds well to his name. He is 6 years old, neutered, and chipped. He is up to date on all his shots. We found him as an abandoned/stray 3 years ago at the start of Covid and have cared for him since, but are no longer able to keep him due to our age, ability, and travel plans.
He will greet you (or anyone else) at the door. Snowball is playful, and enjoys being brushed. He has a unique meow, which sounds like he is saying “hello”. He also has a great big purr. Snowball likes to sit next to you on a chair, couch, or bed, to receive petting.
Overall, Snowball is a wonderful companion. He's friendly, outgoing, affectionate, and snuggly. Snowball needs to be the only pet in the house so he can have all the attention. He would do best in a home without small children.
Kitty
Loving sweet male cat up to date on shots and neutered, healthy and lets you clip his nails. He is seeking home with a yard and would do best at a home with a companion cat or dog.
Prefers owners who will take me-owt side, on a leash and harness once in a while.
Kitty was allowed to go on our patio and while this is not a requirement, he loves it!
Please be within the Madison area if you cannot pick up.
Sonny
Due to allergies and lifestyle changes, we have reluctantly decided that Sonny would be happier at another home. He is super friendly, affectionate, and way more energetic than you would expect from a 13 year old kitty. He would be best in a house where he could be an indoor/outdoor cat and can sleep in your bed. He will get along with other pets so long as he gets cuddles. Like most short hairs he sheds, but will purr like a '57 chevy when you brush him. Front declawed (not by us - we got him that way).
