Story
We rescued a litter of kittens & their mama in July 2025. There were 4 kittens and we kept them isolated from our other cats so they could be with their mama. We had the mama fixed & released because we discovered that she is about 10 yrs old and has always been outside. She still comes here to eat every day and we have an outside, heated house for her. We have 2 black male kittens (about 6 mos) old that we would love to adopt together, but understand that sometimes that's not possible. Squirrel is a very funny, lovey cat that plays with the other cats and loves small sparkly ball toys! Loverboy is just as sweet and loves belly rubs! He has some tabby stripes on him that show in the sunshine.They are both house trained and would make a wonderful pet for anyone! We would love to keep them, but already have 5 cats of our own.
