Story
I got Wyatt from a Foster home for a shelter nearby. He was 8 weeks at the time. He is 2 now, his birthday being in April sometime. I have two other cats. A male and a female, both of which I have had for 5-8 years. They are all orange. My two older cats are not snugglers and I wanted to get another that was more personable. Wyatt is certainly that. He loves pets and loves to be with you. He is kind and very easy. You can cut his nails, clean out his pads and give him a sanitary clip easily. He would be fine as an only cat, if one is all you are looking for. My reason for rehoming him is that he and my older male do not get along and my female cat is very shy and quiet and is intimidated by his wanting to play. It is not Wyatt's fault. He just wants to play and would love it if they wanted to snuggle with him.

Story
Mama was a pregnant stray we found and took care of until all of her kittens were old enough to leave the nest. She looks really young since she’s also very small. Unfortunately, we can’t keep her long term. She’s very vocal and loves being pet, but being a stray has made her very wary of strangers and she won’t be held. She gets along just fine with all of our cats except one of the smaller ones. I think she’d do well as a single cat or with cats her size. She immediately warmed up to my other 4 cats, no hissing or growling at all. She hasn’t been spayed as her kittens just hit the 9 week mark.
