Story
Meet Frederick! 🦃🤎If you've ever dreamed of sharing your home with a big, handsome tabby gentleman who radiates "dad energy," allow us to introduce Frederick.At 8 years old, Frederick is a glorious tubby tabby with striking green eyes, an incredibly sweet face, and enough charm to win over just about everyone he meets. Photos really don't do him justice. This is a BIG boy... a true tubby turkey, complete with the sturdy build and lovable presence of a cat who's clearly never missed a meal.Frederick is currently on a weight loss journey, and his future family will need to help him continue making healthy progress. Carrying around those extra pounds has made his joints a little sore, but we're optimistic that as the weight comes off, he'll be feeling better and moving more comfortably.Despite his impressive size, Frederick is a gentle, social guy who genuinely enjoys being around people. He likes greeting new friends, hanging out nearby while you relax on the couch, and quietly keeping you company. While he isn't an instant lap cat, he clearly enjoys being part of the action and may become even more affectionate as he settles into his forever home.He absolutely melts for chin scratches and rewards them with enthusiastic headbutts. He also enjoys batting around toys and has a playful side that's sure to blossom even more as he slims down.Now, let's address the elephant... or rather, the turkey... in the room.Frederick is extremely food motivated. His current diet has him convinced he's being personally victimized, and he may offer dramatic commentary when it's getting close to mealtime. If you happen to walk past his food bowl while he's hungry, expect a few grumbles or the occasional hiss of protest. It's less "angry cat" and more "I would like to speak to management about these portion sizes." He'll also happily investigate any people food if given the opportunity, so his family should be prepared to keep tempting snacks out of reach while helping him stay on track.Like many cats, Frederick also has a few boundaries. He can occasionally become overstimulated during petting, especially around his chest, and may give a quick warning nip if he's had enough. The good news is he's very easy to read once you learn his signals, and he's never held a grudge. In fact, he'll often be back for more affection moments later. He happily allows belly rubs, enjoys being picked up, and regularly rolls over to show off his fluffy tummy. He simply appreciates a family who listens when he's ready for a little break.Frederick gets along wonderfully with the resident cat in his foster home and would likely enjoy another calm, cat-friendly feline companion. Given a slow introduction, he could probably also adjust to a cat-friendly dog. Because of his tendency to become overstimulated at times, we think he'd be happiest in an adult-only home with people who understand and respect feline body language.If you're looking for a distinguished gentleman with a giant heart, a giant appetite, and an even bigger personality, Frederick may just be your perfect match.Frederick's adoption fee ($125) includes:• Neuter• Dewormer• FeLV testing• Microchip• Core vaccines• A free 30-day subscription to Petcademy (24/7 cat behavior support!)• A free exam at a ChewyVet clinic + a $50 Chewy gift card• A "go home" bag of goodies 🐾

Story
Every girl group needs a fearless little leader, and in this litter of five sisters, that role belongs to Baby Spice! At 3½ months old, Baby is the bravest and most outgoing of the bunch. She's usually the first one to investigate something new, whether it's a new toy, a new room, or something interesting happening across the house. She's naturally curious and loves being part of the action. She's also the most uniquely dressed of her sisters. While the others are torties, Baby stands out with her gorgeous light brown, almost silvery-gray tabby coat. She's got a look all her own, which is fitting for a girl who certainly has a personality all her own, too. Baby is playful, curious, and adventurous. She enjoys exploring all the levels and surfaces of her home and loves having toys and interesting things to investigate. She's an especially good fit for a household where there's plenty going on, because she loves having things to keep her curious little mind occupied. She's also a total foodie. Food? Yes. Treats? Absolutely. Snacks? She would like to be involved in that conversation immediately. 😂 Despite being the leader of the pack, Baby is wonderfully social. She's great with kids, including young children, and does well with dogs, making her one of the more adaptable members of the Spice Girls. And because no Baby Spice should have to grow up alone, she needs a feline friend. If you don't already have another very young cat at home, Baby must be adopted with one of her sisters. She'll love having a built-in bestie to play with, explore alongside, and curl up with for kitten naps. She's confident. She's curious. She's playful. And she's always ready to see what happens next.

Story
Meet Carnita! If you've always wanted a forever kitten without the forever kitten chaos... allow us to introduce Carnita.At 4 years old, Carnita is a full-grown cat who somehow missed the memo. She's delightfully tiny, impossibly adorable, and looks more like a 6-month-old kitten than an adult. She even has the playful energy to match.Carnita is incredibly affectionate, loving, and playful... once you've earned her trust. She can be shy and easily startled in new situations, so she'll need a patient adopter who understands that the best relationships aren't rushed. She thrives with gentle voices, slow blinks, tasty wet food, and the understanding that she'll come to you when she's ready. Trust us, the payoff is worth every bit of patience.And what an entertaining little cat she is.Carnita has enough kitten energy packed into her tiny body to power a small city. She absolutely loves to play, especially with little mice and crinkle toys. Cat wands? Meh. Tiny toys she can launch into the air like an Olympic gymnast? Absolutely. She'll gleefully bat them across the room, chase them at full speed, and, with remarkable consistency, swipe them underneath the couch... where she fully expects you to retrieve them so the game can continue. Throw. Chase. Under the couch. Retrieve. Repeat. It's her favorite sport.She's also a foodie in the making. Wet food is the quickest way to her heart, Churus are always appreciated, and Fancy Feast ranks high on her list of culinary masterpieces. Dry food, on the other hand, receives little more than a polite glance. She also finds people food endlessly fascinating and believes every meal you're eating deserves a thorough inspection.When Carnita is feeling affectionate, she absolutely melts for head scratches and ear rubs. Find the perfect spot and she'll dramatically flop onto her side, stretch her tiny little body from nose to tail, and soak up every second of attention. Body and belly pets aren't really her thing, and she'll let you know she'd rather stick to head scritches.She's a quiet little soul with the tiniest voice. Most of the time she communicates through silent meows or adorable little squeaks, although she'll occasionally let out a soft mew when dinner is being prepared. We suspect she'll continue finding her voice as her confidence grows.One of Carnita's favorite hobbies is bird watching from the window, but she's also developed... surprisingly refined television tastes. She's apparently a fan of Bob's Burgers, and while we can't officially require it, she does seem to appreciate humans who sing made-up songs about what a "bonita, poquita señorita Carnita" she is. Once Carnita fully trusts you, she becomes incredibly loving. She'll happily let you pick her up, carry her around, and hold her close. It's a privilege she doesn't grant just anyone, which somehow makes those cuddles feel even more special.Because she's easily startled, Carnita needs a calm, quiet, adult-only home with experienced cat people who understand shy cats. We highly recommend her future family follow our Guide to Winning Over Shy Cats to help her settle in and build confidence:https://www.denverkittens.org/post/how-to-win-over-a-shy-catShe does well with calm, younger, non-assertive cats but can be intimidated by dominant feline personalities. She would not do well with dogs or children.If you're looking for a tiny cat with a giant personality who's equal parts playful, sweet, quirky, and endlessly rewarding, Carnita just might be your perfect little forever kitten.Carnita's adoption fee includes:• Spay• Dewormer• FeLV testing• Microchip• Core vaccines• A free 30-day subscription to Petcademy (24/7 cat behavior support!)• A free exam at a ChewyVet clinic + a $50 Chewy gift card• A "go home" bag of goodies 🐾

Sweet Tater is still looking for his home! Sometimes black kitties get overlooked, but they often make the very best feline companions!  Tater takes a little bit to warm up to new people but loves to cuddle on the couch and rest his head on your leg after he feels comfortable with you. He’s a chill, laid back kitten, except for when it comes to his favorite activity- pouncing on toes under a blanket. He’s extra chatty in the morning, and will let you know when he wants something! He will do well in a home with someone that wants to play with him! He’s under a year old so he’s the purrrrfect mix of kitten and adult and is sure to bring so much love to the people who recognize how special he is!  If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $100 for one kitten in this litter or $100 for siblings includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip #tuxedocatsrule #circle2rescue #tuxedocatsofinstagram ##2733832##
