Story

Holli and Billy Holli - Domestic Short Hair, Born April 2023, Black, Spayed Female Billy - Domestic Medium Hair, Born April 2023, Black, Neutered Male Hi there! We are a brother and sister team! To tell us apart, I am Billy and I am big and fluffy. My sister is Holli and she is more petite.  Believe it or not, I was the one who needed more socialization initially but now I’m the one who will come up to you first and nuzzle against you particularly if you have what I refer to as kitten cookies (aka treats) for us. We both love when our foster mom sits with us during our KCBT (kitten cookie bonding time) as we eat them from her hand and lap and get lots of love and petting.    We don't just live for treats, we also love running through the tunnel, plus the wand toys are so much fun. I particularly like the small size tennis ball toy to bat around and we both love small toys to chase around the room.    So . . .  we need you to know that we are still a little shy around new people and new situations. We are also not fans of loud noises. It will take us some time to feel comfortable in our new home. But if you are patient and have a nice, calm house we would love that and you’ll be able to hear us happily purring away.    If you are looking for playful, older kittens but not the crazy super high energy kind, who appreciate the finer things in life like quality lap time, petting, and of course cookies, then we are the pair for you. One boy and one girl, one of us super fluffy and the other with a sleek short hair coat — isn’t that the purrfect combo to join you in our new furever home?   Holli and I are a bonded pair and must be adopted together! Adoption Information:  Children: Yes, older, cat experienced    Cats: Yes, with proper introduction  Dogs: Unknown  Adoption Fee: $200 for the pair  They are microchipped, spayed, and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.  To get more info please fill out our online adoption survey. Surveys are responded to in order, so don't miss out! carenorthshore.org/cat-adoption-survey May 18, 2024, 11:43 am

Nigel Domestic Short Hair, Born 2020, Buff Orange Tabby, Neutered Male Hi, I'm Nigel and I'm the quintessential cat. I have many opinions that I like to discuss, I'm fun, smart and like to be in charge. I love food, especially treats. I might even open a drawer or cabinet to help myself to some noms. I prefer to do things when I want ('cause you know, cat), things like lap sit when I want, play with wand toys when I want, go for a stroll on my wheel, and do clicker training (code word for I get more treats) when I want. Another favorite thing of mine is exploration and adventure travel (I have been known to sneak out the catio door a time or 2). We'll have to think of some fun activities we can do together, maybe puzzles or obstacle courses.  I really like to use my brain to figure stuff out, like where you hid the treats for example.  Adoption Information: Children: Children over 10, with cat experience Cats: Maybe?? I’m picky about my buddies  Dogs: No thanks Adoption Fee: $150This cat is microchipped, neutered, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

R is also for:Radiant – our foster mom says that’s the purrfect word to describe us and our purrsonalities!  We are real charmers most of the time, but oh, those occasional little hissy fits?  Well, that’s just a touch of sass to keep everyone on their toes!Rambunctious – yup, that’s a good word for us too!  We love, love, love to play with our toys or chase through the house and wrestle each other as we go.  Respectful – ummm, this one’s about you, not us.  We are looking for some furever people who will respect our preference for a quiet and peaceful home, and our need to take things slow.  We are still pretty shy and can get scared when things around us change.  Well, the list of R words is endless, Really, but we think you get the idea.  So, if you are someone who is looking to Rescue two Rascally youngsters and give them a loving home to Reside in, then you should come meet us ~ Right now!Ryan and I are a bonded pair and must be adopted together!

Story

SoniaDomestic Short Hair, Born 2018, Calico/Tabby/Tortie ('Torbico'), Spayed Female Hello, humans, Sonia here. I was living outside for a while, but I much prefer life indoors. As a result of my previous outdoor life, I have a few patches of fur missing, but things are healing nicely. C.A.R.E. saved me right before the cold spell - thank you, C.A.R.E.! I'm so glad to be safe inside.   I'm a darling, sweet, petite & colorful gal who is always glad to see you. I'm quite ladylike but I do enjoy some intense play sessions now and again.   I will greet you when you come home with a gentle meow and affectionate rub against your legs. I love to sit in people's laps and be cuddled. If you decide to stop petting me before I've granted you permission, I might just protest and make myself even more comfortable in your lap. Or you'll find me burying myself under the covers, as I sneakily try to take over the whole bed.   My favorite toys are various sized mouse toys, wands, strings, and I love to steal hand-towels. A lot. It's on a daily basis that you will find any unattended towels all over.   I'm social with visitors and my curiosity will always get the best of me as I want to be 'in on all the action.' As a lover of food, I want to be involved in all kitchen activities, ensuring you added the right flavor to the dish.    Sometimes you'll hear me make growly sounds, it's because I have feline hyperesthesia, ask the adoption counselor for more info or check the link above.     Things I love? A delectable treat (or 2), sunbathing, listening to the radio, and just being all around cute!! I look forward to meeting you soon.   Note: This cat has Hyperesthesia.

Story

Rumba and Salsa Rumba DSH Gray and White and Salsa: DMH Gray Tabby It's been said,  'It is with your feet that you move, but it is with your heart that you dance.' That's where we come in. I'm Rumba and this guy next to me is my brother Salsa. My foster mom says my ears are as big as my personality. I have been dubbed the life of the party. I will charm you with my affectionate leg rubs, feet rubs, any part of your body I can reach rubs. Oh and my love for squeezie treats is certainly a way to win me over quickly. I'm a playful dude that adores string toys and I promise to keep you entertained for hours with my dance moves. We both have excellent litter box habits, our only request is a tall sided litter box.  Salsa, my brother, is elegant and mysterious. He's a vision of beauty with his longish grey fur and ginormous paws which help him keep his footing while dancing. He may start off shy and might hiss from time to time but never in a mean way - underneath that reserved exterior is a heart of gold. He enjoys quiet moments perched high, with a watchful gaze, observing the world around him. While hesitant at first, once he trusts you, he's all in for affection on his terms, and he really appreciates a gentle back rub. Are you looking to spice up your life with some feline flair? Come meet us, Rumba and Salsa, the purrfect pair ready to dance our way into your heart!Age: Born September 2023Breed: DSH Gray & White (Rumba),  DMH Gray Tabby (Salsa)Gender: MaleChildren: Yes, older, cat experiencedCats: Yes, with proper introductionDogs: UnknownPurrsonality Traits: Sweet, Playful, Shy at first, Affectionate These kittens will be spayed/neutered, microchipped and have full veterinary checkup and vaccines.
