Kittens born to stray momma cat, I’ve taken the in, fixed and vaccinated them. Can’t keep all 10! Tank & Cartman (1 yr old littermates, born to one of Little Bits siblings I was unable to catch) Tank - female - med-long hair tabby, HUGE tail. Loves pets on her terms, stands on my in bed and will paw at my hand if I stop. Cartman-male- loudest purrer you’ll ever meet, always happy and the first to greet you. Loves pets and being held. Has really big ears and such a long tail, almost looks like sphinx-like.

Story
Former stray that I began feeding and caring for. Has had at least 3 litters (see my other posts for them!). Approx 3 yrs (?) old, loves pets but still isn’t sure about being held. She has a deformity to her front left ankle joint that doesn’t allow her to run on it but can walk and gets around fine. Vet didn’t see any reason to try to fix it and wasn’t sure it could be corrected.

Story
This is Pumpkin Jack, an adult boy who loves attention and treats. He loves to be held, petted and talked to as he himself is a very talkative kitty. We estimate him around 8-12 years old, he came to us back around 2018 as a stray. We took him in as he came right up to us and just wanted food and loves. Jack lived in the garage with our other kitty for around 6 to 8 years before we ended up moving and falling into a bad financial strain. He can be a bit territorial towards other male cats even though he is neutered but it is rare. I have not had him spray on anything in the years that I have had him.I would love to keep him but he does have some dental issues that have come up in recent years we have not been able to get taken care of properly. Jack is missing a few teeth and the ones he does have are not in good condition so he eats mainly wet cat food.Jack is amazing, he just needs a bit more care than I can give ATM. Otherwise, he is in good health and is a happy kitty.

Story
I began noticing barn cats hanging around a few years ago and began feeding them and providing shelter. I also began catching them and getting the fixed and vaccinated in hopes of finding homes. Little Bit is Momma’s right hand man. 2 yrs old. Never left the shop to hunt with his siblings, preferred to yell at me for more food ( and is a bit overweight). Loves pets and being held (even like a baby). The subsequent litters all adore him and he’s always got one or two 1/2 siblings attached to him at all times. Very gentle but extremely bored living in the bedroom.

Story
Strays that I began feeding and have caught, fixed and vaccinated. Croc- female-super sweet, rubs against the others and the door frame, wants to be petted desperately but too much competition for her timid soul to fight. Will sniff my hand and eat churro from the tube I’m holding. Turtle-male-just like Croc with pets, stands on my nightstand and looks at me when I sleep. Very interesting markings that I’ve never seen before and a heart shaped nose. Enjoys the cat wheel. Al-female- was Aligator and then we started calling her Weird Al because of her huge alien eyes. Super Snuggly with Little Bit and LOVES the cat wheel. Loves pets if she can’t see your face. Junior -male - prettiest brown eyes. Loves pets and tolerates being held ( would be easily persuaded to love that too). He’s also very affectionate with the other cats, almost to the point they get sick of him.
