Story
This handsome fella is easy-going and sweet-natured. He is immediately comfortable with other cats and them with him. Mykola may be shy to start but he warms up quickly and is quite the charmer. Mykola loves to play. He plucks out his favorite toys from his toy box on a daily basis and carries and bats them from one part of his room to another, but he also enjoys fun interactive toys. Mykola is bonded with his brother, Matviy. They must be adopted together. With proper introduction, he might get along with a cat-friendly, calm dog or children age 8 years and up. Mykola's birth date is estimated to be May 2020. Kitty Bio #3876MB-My.   If you're interested in adopting this or another of our cats, please fill out our adoption questionnaire at http://icraeastbay.org/adopt/how-to/.April 25, 2024, 8:00 pm

Story
Are you looking for a new head of household? Gandalf is looking for a CEO position with an understanding family who likes a cat with sass.

Otherwise, he will sit on his throne and observe his staff as they go about their duties. He expects strict breakfast and dinner times and treats throughout the day. But he`s not interested in being carried around on his palanquin, preferring to move about his subjects on his terms.Once a street urchin, Gandalf clawed his way to the top and knows what hard work looks like, which is why he has no interest in hard work. He`s earned his corner office and a life of luxury - in return he will give you great satisfaction just by knowing him. Nothing more, nothing less. Gandalf is in foster and is scheduling interviews as his schedule permits. Fill out an application today!

Domestic Shorthair

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Roscoe is extremely playful and sweet. He was the runt of his litter which is probably why he has so much spunk!! His nickname is Rossy Bossy. He was a mama’s boy and now he is a complete mama's boy with his foster mom. He gives the best snuggles, makes the best biscuits and he absolutely loves to play with his brother Oreo. They hope to go to a home together, as they have become quite bonded over the past many months and look out for one another, but this is not a deal breaker. They are both also very good with other cats. Roscoe can be a bit shy at first with people he doesn't know but will definitely warm up to you quickly. He would do really well in a calm home environment along with another young playful cat and/or his brother Oreo, without young kids (under age 10) or rambunctious dogs. He has very mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia, where he will lose balance slightly in his back legs while walking, it is almost unnoticeable and does not slow him down at all (scroll down to see his video). CH is not a medical condition that will cause him problems as he grows. We estimate that Roscoe was born in late May 2023. Kitty Bio 1506KL-Ro.

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Oreo is a gentle and sweet kitty who will win you over again and again with his little 'innocent' gaze! He is brave and curious and loves to play, especially with his brother Roscoe. Pouncing WWE wrestling style on Roscoe is one of his favorite pastimes. He discovered early on that he can do back flips into his cat bed and he finds this very entertaining (scroll down to his videos below). He has adapted this skill into his play tactics. Oreo has mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), and will lose his balance from time to time, but this doesn’t slow him down one bit nor does it affect his health or ability to eat and use his litter box. When he runs, his back legs will hop like a bunny rabbit rather than a kitten which is quite cute. Oreo is incredibly affectionate and interactive with people. He would love to be adopted with his brother and nap partner, Roscoe, as they have become quite bonded over the months although this is not a deal breaker as he will also do well with another young playful cat. We estimate that Oreo was born in late May 2023. Kitty Bio #1506KL-Or.

Story
Notes from the foster:I have had `Fraidy` since Dec 1, and she is SLOWLY opening up! She still hides under the bed a lot, but always comes out to eat in the kitchen, scurries past me, and sometimes I find her in the living room when I wake up. She doesn`t come up onto your lap by choice, but does meow like she WANTS to (but isn`t quite there with the full trust yet)!Every night she comes up onto my bed while I am laying down in the dark, and gives a cute `meow!` and allows me to scratch her chin, body, pet her, but keeps just the right amount of distance to be able to bolt in case a fast move or sound frightens her. She is slowly gaining trust! I have hope she will get better at it. She is afraid of toys, and does not come to a call, but she played on a handmade cat mat that is infused with catnip the past few days, and she likes to jump up on my window sill behind the curtain. She doesnt allow me to pick her up, or cuddle, but she sleeps next to me on the bed in her little bed. So it is getting better!
