Please contact Renee at givethemahappylife@gmail to inquire about them!  Also, please add a little about your home and who lives there as well as any pets.  Thanks!   Plot twist: the only short-haired kitten in a litter of six Ragdoll mixes turns out to be the cuddliest of them all. Edemame (6 months) didn’t inherit the fluffy coat, but she inherited the signature Ragdoll sweetness. She’ll play in the morning, nap like it’s her job, and spend her afternoons searching for the nearest available lap. Bonus points if she can stare deeply into your eyes while she’s there. It may take her a minute to choose you… but once she does, you’re hers forever. And honestly? That’s the best kind of cat. Click here to watch a video of Edemame (Edie).March 7, 2026, 12:02 pm

[Fill out the Application], then email it to the contact in this bio.  TO INQUIRE ABOUT THESE CATS email Renee at GiveThemaHappyLife@gmail.com Include a bit about your home, who lives there and why you are interested in adopting a cat now.  Thank you! King is named King because he wants to be the king of his home!  He doesn't want to share with any other pets.  He's a super affectionate, outgoing, lap cat.  Really, what more can I say - he's wonderful!!!  His foster would keep him if he would tolerate her other pets, she says he's one of the best cuddlers she's ever had.  He loves sitting in a window seat and watching birds and squirrels. He likes to walk into the shower if it's left running!  Such a Maine Coon trait.  He follows his people around like a dog, wanting to be part of all the action although, like a cat, he's a big napper in the afternoon.  When he wakes, he often carries a toy over to someone asking to play.  What a cat!!! King is an opinionated boy, he gives love bites and reaches out for pets and cuddles even when his person may think they are done... for this reason King needs to be in a home with cat savvy people who understand this behavior.  He is an active and playful big kitty too! King is 2 years old and ready for a home of his own!     KE to KS, again 1 yrMarch 7, 2026, 12:02 pm
