What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:
Bug needs daily affection and attention to thrive, not unlike other pets, I’m sure!
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
Bug has lived with at least one other cat since she was adopted (an older male tabby) and for the first two years with three other cats-two male tabby cats and one female tortie. She has always lived well with the male tabbies, but not as well with the female tortie. She has never been a solo cat in the family, but I believe she would be fine as a solo because it’s human interaction she prefers.
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Housing is Inadequate for Pet
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
I lost my job and home due to DOGE ending my federal contract and career with the federal government. My current housing situation is not adequate for my cats, and I can’t afford to move anytime soon.
