My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Kukula (means doll in Greek) is a female. She is the one in the back right side (with the most swirly colors). She will sit in your lap for hours and will eventually start to purr and purr. She is totally non-aggressive. Her markings are very cool/different.

All spayed/neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, tested negative for any feline diseases, de-wormed and MICRO-CHIPPED.

These guys were just babies when they were rescued from under a car cover. They were being fed by a family in Spring Hill after they discovered them living under a car cover between the hood and the windshield.

They came to Cat Crusaders REALLY scared. They have made leaps and bounds during the socialization process.

When I place them on my lap they instantly LOVE it. They settle in nicely for a good petting and purr but........ as soon as I put them down they forget just how nice it was:) So I go and get them again and repeat the process. They have come so far with this type of socialization but they will need someone who has patience, LOVE and understanding of what they have been through who is willing to put in the effort to go and get them and continue this process.

They are not scared of me or other people. They play with me, my dogs and other cats. They play with each other right in front of me. They come to me when it's time to eat or to get treats. It's just the whole picking them up thing. They like to run and make me do the work of going and getting them. Then they love sitting in my lap getting pet all over again.

It's a total trust thing. Once they trust 100% then that behavior will stop and they will start to come on their own. Trust comes with time. In two months time they have come so very far in behavior.

They are totally non-aggressive. They do not bite or scratch and are actually very sweet kitties.

They are very PLAYFUL and love to play with their human and each other. They love to chase laser lights and balls and love to run and jump.

They REALLY just need a chance to prove that they can be great INDOOR pets.

If I cannot find them a home soon they will have to go back to where I found them and released.
I am unable to take in more rescues until they are either placed in good homes or released and that is not fair to other needy kitties.

The family that found them is willing to allow them to live OUTSIDE their trailer but they will just be so miserable and scared being put back outside there again. Especially since they have been inside now for two months.

They were so young when I took them in and are already used to being in a safe home. I don't think that they'd really know what to do if put out there again.

It would kill me to put them back out there. It is not a safe place because there is a lot of land and there are a lot of predators. They have really started to trust people too. They would be so confused and would not understand why they were being put out. I have a lot of pressure on me to release these guys and I've been holding on hoping someone would step up to take them.

Are you the right person for this challenge? Would you give these guys a chance? Would you be willing to give an otherwise over looked kitty the chance at a nice, warm, safe and cozy home?

I feel that they are really just too sweet to be turned into "feral" kitties. Had I released them right away after they were spayed/neutered and vaccinated it would be different but they have already known love and a safe home.

My promise to you is to take them back from you AFTER 30 days if it just doesn't seem to be working out. This way they at least get the chance to try and prove themselves as being worthy of your love.

I'm very honest about personalities because I want to make sure that I find the right person for each individual kitty.

So being honest.................. these guys truly are loving and respond well to love but they will not just come when called:) You will have to go to them and remind them often that they are loved and it is safe. They really WANT to be loved. Every time I pick one up they respond to it right away.

Eventually it will click and they could potentially become lap kitties. I just know that they will given the chance. They will sit in my lap for hours one end when I put them there.

I really think that they'd LOVE a nice lanai to hang out in or a enclosed porch with lots of windows to look out. They really like hanging out on their cat tree and looking out of the window at the birds and the squirrels:)

They are all litter trained and use their scratching posts like good kitties.

I believe this so much and I want them to get homes so badly that I am PERSONALLY willing to pay their adoption fees IF you would be willing to open your heart and your home to one or more of them.

So they are FULLY VETTED and FREE if you meet the following requirements as listed below........

I ask a lot of adoption questions, so please be prepared for that.

A home visit is required as with all of our adoptions to make sure that they go to a safe and comfortable home. It's a quick visit. Not to get into your business or to check if you have dishes in your sink or your beds made:) Just to make sure that they will be in a safe environment.

You must promise to not de-claw them.

You must promise to keep them as INDOOR kitties only.

You must promise to give them at the very least 30 days to get comfortable in their new home. If you cannot promise ONE FULL MONTH then please do not respond to this post. It is only fair to give them the proper time to get used to the new smells, sounds, other pets and voices in their new home.

If, however after the full 30 days you feel for one reason or another that they are just not working out for your family then I will take them back, no questions.

Please CALL me with any questions or to set up an appointment to meet these sweet babies.
