My story

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

*** Billy, Tommy, Mikey, and Tiny Tim are in our PetSmart Aero adoption center ***

Billy: brown/gray tabby with white, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 6/11/23, #18591
Tommy: gray/brown tabby w/white, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 6/11/23, #18592
Mikey: white w/brown/gray tabby, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 6/11/23, #18593
Tiny Tim: gray tabby w/white, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 6/11/23, #18594

Cats: love-friends required!
Dogs: unknown
Children: older respectful kids

A kind person watches over and feeds a colony of cats near a trolley stop, including making sure they are all spayed and neutered. When these kittens appeared one day, she promptly took them under her wing. They grew up in Rescue House foster care and are now ready to find loving homes!

The boys have grown up knowing love and are absolute sweethearts! In terms of their daily routines, following some serious playtime or a good meal, they will pile together on the bed for a nap. Upon awakening, more roughhousing is in order, and they adore romping around with each other. They all agree that springs are the best type of toy, and they love playing with springs-especially in the bathtub! Toy mice are also beloved by this crew.
---Billy is the big-time cuddler, and he barely lets you sit down before he's scrambling aboard your lap! He's so happy that he'll start to soothe-suckle. The first to greet you in the morning after he hears your alarm go off, he also is the main supervisor and will watch you brush your teeth or put on makeup!
---Tommy is a mellow fellow. If you pick him up, he will go limp like a rag doll, allowing you to adjust him into the perfect cuddling position! A quirky sort, he is very fond of the bathroom sink and will curl up in in it. Also a total foodie, he adores mealtime! Afterwards, he might climb into your lap for a snoozle.
---Mikey always seems to be the first to do something-with the others following in his wake. Fascinated by water, he enjoys watching it come out of the faucet! Mikey understands the importance of being well read and will support all of your literary pursuits by laying on the back of the couch as you read.
---Despite his name, Tiny Tim is the boldest of them all! A habitual lap loafer, curled up with you is where he prefers to spend the majority of his time-when not caught up in shenanigans with his bros, of course. Like Billy, he will appear as soon as the alarm rings, but it will be to climb on your chest and encourage you to stay in bed for a snuggle!

The boys clearly adore each other and would be ecstatic to be adopted in pairs; if that's not in the cards, they each must move into a home with a playful and welcoming feline friend looking for a buddy. While we have not observed them with dogs, if given a proper introduction, they may adjust well to a cat-friendly canine. As enthusiastic teens, they are still learning that hands aren't toys, and Billy and Mikey will need consistent guidance to reinforce that idea when they get overexcited. We suggest having kicker toys and wands nearby for redirection, and they will do better in a home with older kids who can understand how to respond appropriately.

Our handsome guys-did we mention they are as cute as they come-are eager for their forever families to lavish them with love! Who will be a permanent fixture in your lap?
