Story
Trying to rehome both cats together. The boy is called Mandela and he’s all black while the girl, Olga, is orange (super rare!). He’s a super sweet and friendly cat, and loves to stay on the lap. He lets you do whatever you want with him. He’s somehow vocal and needy, always asking for some love. He loves to scratch cardboard boxes. She’s super cute and somehow more reserved. She loves to be pet and chew plastic. Not vocal neither demanding. They’re both 12yo and Brazilians! He was rescued in the most famous carnival venue (sambódromo) in São Paulo when was ~3mo. Olga was severely sick when we adopted her and developed some kind of dwarfism. She’s tiny and suuuuper cute! They’re with us since 2013 and have been moving around from Brazil to Portugal and finally to the US. We recently had 2 kids and unfortunately we can no longer give them all the love they need and deserve. They’re both healthy and never had any health problems. Both are sterilized and microchipped.

I'm Spaghetti, big kitten rescued from outdoors. I was very shy at first but now I am trusting my foster mom and opening up more and more. I need a quiet home and patient person who can give me time to settle in and blossom more.

Story
Every cat deserves a good home - is yours the right one for Pam and Flo? This bonded pair of felines is ready to find their permanent one. Flo, a luxurious soft gray, and Pam, midnight black, both with beautiful green eyes, are 8.5-9 yrs old. They met in a shelter, where they spent a long time, and are quite timid. They're good cats and would love a quiet home (no kids, no cats or dogs) where they could have their own space to enjoy the sun and lots of naps. Pam and Flo are perfectly happy just to keep one another company and do not seek out petting or laps. As their photos show, sometimes they're velcro kitties, and sometimes they want their own space. They need lots of time to build trust with their caregiver, one who will be patient and kind and understanding as they slowly settle in. Their foster mom lovingly refer to them as “my decoratives”. Do you know someone who whose home would be perfect for them?

Sparkling * Delightful * Playful A warm-hearted lady looking for love, 4yo Minty Lou is super affectionate and energetic. Her treasured spot in the house is in the laps of her favorite people and she adores and seeks caresses and cuddles. When not cuddling, Minty Lou looooves to play, and could spend all day chasing her feather wand. Minty Lou will thrive in a quiet home where she may shine as your only pet, soaking up all your attention for herself! She will brighten when you come into sight and happily greet you with chirps, once she has settled. Come and meet this wonderful girl: we just know you’ll fall in love!

I'm Candy Corn and oh so sweet. I'm a very active adorable little boy of 3 months who wants an active feline to play with and show me the ropes! I adore people too, so my forever home should be one where people are home a lot. I'll also be safer with older children who understand that I'm just a baby!
