Story
The only girl of the bunch. She has the slightest little bit of white on her chest. She is confident and lovable. She will lick your face in affection and snuggles in where she can. A friend watched her for a few nights and she said she Zena slept with her all night and licked her face in the morning. She also melts in your arms and loves kisses - taking kisses and giving kisses.

Story
Sometimes I feel like he is my favorite out of the four. He is the most "chill" of them all. He doesn't really meow, its more of a rough "meh." My husband called it a meep but that doesn't seem quite right. He has a few white hairs between his front legs. He's a great snuggle in front of the tv cat.PanPan, Zena, and Oslo are his siblings.

Olso is the little YouTube personality of the bunch. Always talking. Chirrups, purrs, meows, and any of those mixed together. He is the softest one. Its like petting a bunny rabbit. He snuggles in and lifts his face for kisses.

Story
His mother came to us as a pregnant stray and we gave her a room in this building we are working on. She became very lovable and passed that on to her kittens. It was very cute but we realized that we now had seven cats. It's too much for me and now that the kittens are getting older my husband is starting to have an allergic reaction. Mama cat has been adopted and now its time for these loving kittens to be with someone who can enjoy their loving personalities. PanPan is the first to purr and will give you an affectionate lick. He melts into your arms and loves kisses.

Story
Sheba is the mother cat in the photo. She is just a little over one year old. I found her as a stray cat when she was a baby and took her in. She recently got out of the house and came back pregnant. I'm losing my house due to a foreclosure and need to find loving homes for her and her new babies. They are currently 6 weeks old (on September 2nd 2026), and will be ready for new, loving families by mid September. Sheba will be ready for a loving home to relax and take a well-deserved break at this time as well. She's a sweet, beautiful, loving pet. She's even more impressive now that I've witnessed her being such a patient, gentle, loving mother. She's so giving and deserves a great family and secure forever home. 💓

Story
Very nice cat. Gets along with some dogs, but not others. Has never been around other cats, but I would assume he would not get along. Super loving to people. Somewhat skittish but once he gets used to the environment, that pretty well goes away. Doesn't scratch or tear things up. He was picked up from a shelter in August of 2025.
