Story
Omen is roughly 4, going on 5 and about 8-9 pounds. He loves to lay on laps and get pets on his terms. he also likes to lay at your feet under a blanket but don't actually cover him with a blanket. He's also quite the talker and loves catnip. His front claws are gone but still has the back. Up to date on vaccines and preventatives and neutered. Not a fan of dogs but will tolerate them.

Story
Pickles is a chunky boy and he is roughly 3, going on 4 and about 13 pounds probably. He loves ALL the pets and the wand toys. Once he gets his pets, he'll go flop down and take a nap. A Garfield of cats if you will. He has all his claws still and he uses a cat scratch tree well, haven't had any issues. Litter trained, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and neutered. Very anxious around dogs. Would do best as single cat home or maybe a cat only home.

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
A neighborhood cat chose to have her litter in my yard shelter and I’ve since taken in her kittens. They’ve been spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Lil Dude and Poppy are two of the four siblings, and they’re ready for loving homes—either together or separately. Lil Dude is bright, “talkative,” and follows you around like a loyal pup. Poppy, with her velvety-soft coat, is gentle, affectionate, and equally devoted. Both are cuddle bugs who love snuggling in bed, soaking up kisses, and being scooped up for hugs. Playful and curious, they enjoy chasing laser pointers, batting yarn balls, and pouncing on crinkly toys. While they’ll need a little time to adjust to a new environment, their goofy, affectionate personalities shine through. They thrive on attention and would do best with an experienced cat owner who can give them the love and care they deserve.
