Story
Mittens is a talkative 4 year old girl who loves to be loved on - she almost always answers to her name. Her mother was a stray full bred Siamese who gave birth in my sun room. Mittens loves other cats and wants to be affectionate. She is a gentle spirit. She loves to curl up into a fluffy ball next to you whenever you sit down and lay against you. When bonded to you she is okay with being picked up and held. Calling her name and talking sweet to her definitely makes her come out to you. She loves to play. Mittens is very soft and has a beautiful coat. She was spayed and got initial vaccines as a kitten. She is a healthy and energetic cat. She needs cat food that helps urinary care. Right now she is on Hills prescription dry food diet. When taken to the vet she is scared but almost instantly starts purring when pet and will be okay. She is so loving and sweet. Never tries to scratch or bite.

Story
Borte is about 2 years old. She has had her first round of shots and is fixed. She was a stray that we took in. She is litter trained but She does have a habit of going to the bathroom in front of the litter box. Mostly just poops outside of it but occasionally pees as well. I believe it is because we have multiple other cats as well. She won’t use the automatic litter boxes so we have one regular one as well. She is a sweet girl but mostly keeps to herself.

Story
Meet Gary! 💛 Gary is a one-year-old sweetheart looking for a loving forever home. He’s a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his gentle and affectionate personality shines. Gary truly enjoys being held and petted and will happily soak up attention from the people he trusts. He’s still young, spry, and full of playful energy. Gary loves interactive play and would do best with a family or person who wants to engage with him and keep him active. One of his cutest traits is how much he loves watching TV—he’ll sit and watch the screen with you like a tiny couch companion. He also absolutely loves burrowing under the covers and being cozy, making him a great cuddle buddy once he’s comfortable. Gary would thrive in a patient, caring home that understands shy cats just need a little time to blossom. In return, you’ll get a sweet, playful, and loving companion who’s ready to be part of the family. (He is getting neutered next week.)

Story
Calor is bringin' the heat and he is sure to warm your heart! Calor is a sweet adult cat who is about a year old and is friendly towards people once he has had the chance to warm up a bit and get to know you! Calor does tend to be shy at first and may need a longer period to adjust than some cats might. Calor likes to lounge around or get pets from his people and he will approach people for attention once he is adjusted! He is good with other kittens, cats, and dogs! Calor is a large, handsome, orange tabby cat who likes to curl up and take naps! Calor has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped! He was eartipped at his time of neutering due to the fact that he was a part of a TNR project. Interested adopters can submit an application by contacting HobosHome2020@yahoo.com or by sending us a message and we will send you the necessary form!

Story
Suzy has been with us since January of 2022 so a little over 3 YEARS now! She is brave, independent, pretty, and strong. She was initially found outside trapped under somebody's deck during a major snowstorm, snowed in, and freezing with some frostbite on her nose! Poor Suzy was pretty emaciated when she was found but quickly gained weight and she has now become a healthy and pretty young lady with absolutely STUNNING golden-copper eyes! We just LOVE her very unique and gorgeous eye color and her pretty coat! She is thought to be a middle-aged cat now. It is important to note that Suzy would definitely prefer a home without any other cats but is fine with cat-friendly dogs that are willing to give her some space! Suzy would also be fine as an only pet! She has the typical sass of a tricolored female kitty and would do best with an experienced adopter. (It is very possible that she would be a lot different in personality in a real home without other cats.) We are not recommending a home with young children because she does scratch at times when she has had enough handling. She likes to be pet on the top of her head and tends to be a bit choosy with humans at times. Suzy has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped! Interested adopters can submit an application by contacting HobosHome2020@yahoo.com and we will send you the necessary form!
