Story
It’s okay to eat a cherry around these little ghosts! Inky (gray tabby) and Pinky (apricot tabby) are two adorable and rambunctious kittens. They are sweet playful and affectionate and would be a great furry addition to any home. They are very used to people and being held and will grow up to be highly tolerant and people-loving cats. They grew up around other cats and are perfectly okay with getting along with other tolerant cats. These two Lovies will play together all day long and then settle down into a snuggle nap. They would love to be adopted together as they are besties and bonded but might be able to thrive on their own as well in the right household with a lot of interaction with their people These kittens want to be part of the family. They are both in great health and come from a long line of loved and cherished foster kittens. It’ll never be game over with these two sweethearts when you decide to take them home! Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt kittens in pairs, or into a home with a compatible playful cat. Kittens really need a feline playmate in their forever home…and then they can get to play, and snuggle while you're not home, wrestle with each other instead of with your ankles, and grow up with an always-available companion. Bored cats can become destructive cats. If you are only interested in adopting a single kitten, and you’re home most of the day, and able to spend interactive time with a kitten, we may consider adopting out a single kitten. We usually prefer that they be 4 months or older. But each application will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Many of our kitten litters may also be able to be mixed ‘n matched to make a pair if they are not particularly bonded with a sibling. Each foster home knows the kittens' personalities best, and we follow their recommendations for single placements or mix/matching. Inky and Pinky's estimated date of birth is 4/27/25, and their adoption fee of $195 each includes: vet exam, Feleuk/FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccinations, routine dewormings, flea control, microchip and spay/neuter.

Story
Hi, I'm Gershwin, a handsome young fellow about 3 and a half years old. I was rescued from the outdoors and taken into this really nice lady's home where I have lived for the last year. I really love her, and she loves me, but I just can't seem to get used to sharing the home with her other cats. I'm more of a one-on-one type of guy. Lately I've been kept separated from everyone, and it's really not the kind of life that's good for me. I need a person who's looking for a one-on-one relationship where I can be the king of the castle. I am a VERY smart cat, I know my name & understand what my human says to me! If she leaves an open can of cat food on the counter (with a plastic lid on), I know how to open it! I'm very active, lots of energy…like to play & run a lot (inside only of course). I love to be brushed & always use my litter box. If you're looking for only one cat to be your loyal companion, I'm your guy. Come meet me! I know we can make beautiful music together. Gershwin's adoption fee of $120 includes vet exam, Feleuk/FIV test, rabies vaccination, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming, microchip and neuter.

Story
Meet Mia, a gorgeous little girl with a silky black coat which she keeps beautifully groomed. Mia is not only beautiful on the outside, her beauty lives inside as well. Mia is a super sweet girl who loves to give and receive attention. Mia is exceptionally smart, having learned her name in just one day. Mia has very good recall for a young kitten, her foster mom can call her to dinner by just calling her name. The first time Mia’s foster mom showed Mia a phone app for cats, she was able to learn the game almost immediately. She was a high scorer tapping the mice from the phone app! Mia is very curious and thrives on adventure. While Mia can be very playful with her humans and siblings, she also possesses an independent streak and is quite comfortable exploring on her own.

Story
This is Splashy, so named because her rescuer thought that her markings looked like she had paint splashed on her! She's totally adorable but still somewhat timid. Her foster mom is able to pick her up and hold her close and pet her. No purring yet. We just think she needs more time. Or, some cats just aren't big purrers. Splashy is very bonded with her friendly brother Mr. Whiskers and having him around is teaching her to be more confident. They would ideally like to be adopted together. They make a perfect ready-made pair. Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt kittens in pairs, or into a home with a compatible playful cat.

The combined discounted adoption fee for both Splashy and Mr. Whiskers is $285.
