Story
We got him at Beatrice Humane Society. He is 5 months old almost 6. Roswaal is a more reserved cat when it comes to humans but, when it comes his brother they get very crazy. He likes to hide under things and is very curoius. He uses the litter box very well, has not peed or pooped outside of it once. I am hoping to find a home for him and his brother that will be able to handle them better than I do.

Story
Puck was bought with Roswaal at Beatrice Humane Society. He is 5 months old. He loves attention and likes to cuddle. He is a very curious cat and will get into everything he can. He is playful. Puck and Roswaal love playing together and sometimes they get into too much mischief. I am hoping to find someone who can love them both and accept them into their life.

Story
Adama is the sweet, sensitive soul of the bunch. In a new or noisy environment, he can be a little shy at first, quietly taking everything in with those big, thoughtful eyes. But give him a bit of time and patience, and once he’s comfortable, his true personality shines through. When Adama loosens up, he’s a total cuddler and an expert purrer, happily soaking up affection—especially head rubs, which he absolutely adores. He’s also very playful, with a special love for climbing and chasing his ribbon wand like it’s the most important mission of the day.The way Adama looks at you when you walk into the room will instantly melt your heart, and his adorable, funny little meows when he sees you make it impossible not to smile. If you’re looking for a gentle, playful companion who bonds deeply and rewards patience with endless love, Adama is ready to be your new best friend.

Octavia is a delightful little kitten who is looking for a home! As far as kittens go, she's pretty standard: she loves to play, cuddle, eat, and sleep. She's fostered with other animals and does well and she's been around kids, too. She's affectionate and easy going, but has plenty of time for play, too (see her here: https://youtu.be/2vFkgsjvxt0) Requires another cat in the home: Yes, kittens always do better with a friend!
