Bombay kittens & cats in Longboat Key, Florida

Hi I'm Monte- aka the wild man to my siblings! I do stunts that no other cats dare attempt. Laughter and applause fuel me on. I am a serious chow hound who quickly grew much larger than my siblings. I’m the epitome of a big brother: I drive my little brother and sister crazy with rough play one minute, then am so sweet snuggling and grooming them the next. I’m not scared of anything and am even friendly with dogs and vacuum cleaners. I am very full of wild kitten energy but have a surprising sweet side. At least a couple times a day I like to be held like a baby and smothered with kisses. I will be very interested in everything you do and will follow you around to make sure I don’t miss anything. My midnight black fur is so silky and mysterious, isn’t it?? The litter of Fluffnutter, Sloppy Joe and Mote Cristo were born on 5/23/20 and ready for adoption now! Babies need to be adopted in pairs to avoid only kitten syndrome. We'd love for you to meet them! Please submit an adoption application at CJPAWS.ORG/ADOPT so we can set you up with an appointment to meet. Mother Nature Knew What She Was Doing When She Created Kittens in Litters! Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development. A kitten learns a lot in the first several months of life from their mother and littermates. Separating a kitten from their mother is often a necessity for adoption purposes, but taking it away from their littermates and isolating it can delay the kitten’s development emotionally, socially, and sometimes physically. Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates or a similarly-aged companion tend to be healthier and happier, and in the long run, better socialized pets than those who are isolated from others of their kind at an early age. Even loving, caring, hu-mans are not adequate substitutes for kitten companionship. Even if a person is fortunate enough to be home quite a bit, the amount of attention a lone kitten will demand is likely to occupy more time than the person has available. A pair of kittens will definitely still want to interact with people, but can keep each other occupied. Most cats, regardless of their age, are highly sociable and are truly happier living with other cat companions. This in turn makes them better pets. Kittens are curious and crave constant stimulation. Out of bore-dom, a single kitten will often entertain themself by chewing plants, climbing drapes and furniture, unrolling toilet paper, exploring electrical cords and sockets, etc. Kittens who live with other kittens may sometimes do these things as well, but if they have another kitten to tumble around and play with it is less likely they’ll need to entertain themselves with behaviors like these, which can be destructive and dangerous. Kittens bite and wrestle with one another–this behavior is normal. You can’t prevent a kitten from doing what comes natural-ly, any more than you can force a two-year-old toddler to sit still. Though it’s not acceptable for a kitten to bite and wrestle with their human companions, in the absence of having a littermate or companion their own age to play with, this is precisely what a single kitten will want to do. Even if you are willing to allow (and can tolerate) this behavior from your kitten, by the time the kitten matures, you will end up with an adult cat who has developed very bad habits (i.e. biting and scratching as “play”). Kittens are very active at night A single kit-ten is likely to keep people awake at night with constant jumping, pouncing and other “hunt-ing” behavior. With a companion to play with at night, this behavior is minimized because they will have each other to chase and play games with until they too fall asleep. A single kitten is not a good companion for an older cat Kittens have boundless energy. They want to play and run constantly which typically overwhelms and irritates an older cat. Likewise, a kitten is apt to be frustrated that their companion doesn’t have their same level of energy. At the very least, this can lead to two very unhappy cats. At worst, behavior problems such as litter box avoidance or destructive scratching can occur as one or both cats act out their frustrations on their surroundings. It’s not likely that the two will have a close, bonded relationship, even after the kitten matures, since their experiences with one another from the beginning of the relationship are likely to be negative. An older cat is better matched with a cat closer to their own age and temperament. If you chose to add a kitten to a home with an older cat, adopt a pair of kittens, not a single kitten. This ensures the energetic kittens have buddies to play with and the older cat can choose to participate in playing or not.

Seriously, please understand that I’m such a baby. I would really love it if you could carry me around all day, or even better let me perch on your shoulder. I’m really hoping to be a shoulder cat, and my foster mom is nice about letting me practice. It’s very important to me that I have LOTS of special attention from my human and I will chase you down with meows until I get my fill. Please and thank you!

Meet 6 of the cutest bunch of kittens you’ve ever seen that are all named after Greek deities! All are boys but one sweet little girl named Gaia where the boys are aptly named Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Helios, Cronus and Hades. All would do well in most any loving home environment including young children as they are super social, loving and quick to purr when you come near! They are being fostered in St. Pete and were born in care on April 11th and will be ready for adoption around late-July but are available now for pre-adoption with the possibility to foster to adopt. Babies must be adopted in pairs to avoid only kitten syndrome. We’d love for you to come meet them! Please submit an adoption application at CJPAWS.ORG/ADOPT so we can set you up with an appointment to hold them and watch them melt into your arms!

Sparky is a lively Bombay boy who’s almost a year old and still bursting with that irresistible kitten energy. This little guy adores being on your shoulder and loves being involved in absolutely everything you do—he’s a “helper” whether you asked for one or not! He’s incredibly lovable, playful, and full of personality. Sparky thrives with attention, interactive play, and plenty of stimulation toys. He would do especially well with a feline friend to match his energy and keep him entertained. This affectionate shoulder-rider may be in your business, but he’s so worth every minute.
