Story
Super loving, talkative, follow you everywhere cats!Oslo, PanPan, Yuri, and Zena are all kittens/young cats from a stray cat we took in as we are working on an old school building. They are almost six months old and love people. We have them on the second floor and every time someone opens a door a stampede of cats comes their way. They are the cuddliest cats I have ever been around. We have two long hair cats that don’t seem to bother my husbands sinuses but these medium haired cats are making his nose and eyes itch and water. Even he hates to see them go. (I don’t think I will miss all the litter boxes though.)  They take their kisses and want more. We hold them like babies and they just go limp and soak up the love.The only girl of the bunch. 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 said Zena slept with her all night and licked her face in the morning.

He likes to give these little whisper half meows which is very deceiving considering the vocals on him if he finds himself all alone. He's a great snuggle in front of the tv cat.

He is the softest one. Its like petting a bunny rabbit. He snuggles in and lifts his face for kisses.

Not a little hop into snuggles but a pounce. He will also butt his head into your kisses. Smooches on command.

She was pushed on me. She had been rehomed several times in the last couple months and I currently have her. I cannot afford to take care of her and my life is far to busy to give this cat she deserves

Story
Meet Mama Sophie who was a young stray that my daughter took in this Spring. Fairly soon after, she had kittens! Also meet her kitten, Figaro, an 11 week old, friendly, energetic, male tuxedo kitty. He's half cuddle bug and half ball of fire! (We found wonderful homes for her other 5 kittens) Mama Sophie is petite, sweet, adorable, and very affectionate. She LOVES people and attention! The problem is, we have other adult cats and dogs and Sophie does NOT like them. At all. There have been many violent, "fur flying" fights. She has to be kept in my daughter's bedroom, but it is really hard to keep her in and the other cats out. I would love to find a home for Sophie and her kitten together. They are remarkably well litter box trained, both very sweet, friendly, great with kids, playful and they are obviously bonded! ❤️ I'm sure Sophie will never bond with another cat, but if they could stay together they'd have each other! I know they'll make some lucky family so happy!
