Story
Please meet our heart breaker BABALOO, nicknamed BALOO, a magnificent Bombay with a big heart and a feline inspiration of love and affection❤️ When BABALOO appeared and joined a feral colony, it was right away apparent that this lover boy kitty was abandoned and truly did not belong there. So the rescuer jumped into action and swept this little man off the street and into a warm place to snuggle in. Surely, it didn't take BABALOO long to show his affectionate side and his gentle and loving personality that exploded when realizing he is finally safe. His statement was clear and didn't leave any doubt that his rescuer made the right decision on intake by rubbing with his cheek against their hands, circling around her in full delight and rolling over to show his cute belly belly to command some serious belly rubs.. He LOVES chin rubbing under constant love-seeking purrs and maximizes his cuteness with his ultimate signature move to roll over and demanding his favorite spot - the belly - to be massaged! When melting in your arms, his expressive golden eyes are closing out of satisfaction being held and he is enjoying the ride under the deepest purrs - we can't imagine why someone would abandon such feline jewel! PLEASE get a little taste of affection: As every young teenager, BABALOO has of course also a very playful side, batting mice or playing with his wand toy. To his fullest delight, he loves to play hide and seek with his foster Mom, reaching for higher spots to hide and then peaking around the corner to make sure that she is really looking for him. So super cute❤️ BABALOO loves to be part of everything and will follow you around with his tail up making sure he does not miss a beat in your life - nothing is holding back this sweet Snuggle King to get attention and his will to be part of "his human's" life is unbreakable. Thus, we are looking for a home that can give this personal assistant lots of human interaction and of course tons of love❤️ BABALOO is a 2 year old young healthy lover boy, neutered, dewormed / deflead, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FELV and otherwise fully vetted including microchip Please meet this stunningly beautiful Bombay bachelor with a heart of gold and a feline charm that will sweep you off your feet❤️ And check out our website for more adorable kitties looking for a forever home: https://www.adoptapet.com/shelter/84295-east-harlem-kitty-rescue-new-york-new-york#featured

Story
Evie is a vibrant, friendly, and easy-going kitten who just recently turned one. She has moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), which means that she isn't able to stand or walk, and instead gets around by scooting around the rug. Despite her physical limitations, Evie is full of personality and is determined to live her best life. She is very content to relax and observe the goings-on around her from her cat tunnel. She loves to play with wand toys from her tunnel or on a rug. Evie does great with routine and is able to eat, drink, and use the litter box on her own once she is placed near them. Aside from being cute as a button, Evie is extremely friendly with both people and cats. She would do great with someone who is retired and or works from home, who can help her maintain a routine. We first found Evie as a young kitten abandoned outside a Petco in a cardboard box. She is now thriving and we are hoping to find her the loving home that she deserves! Evie is fully vaccinated and spayed. If you're interested in adopting her, please get in touch and we can share videos so you can see how she moves around with her condition.
