Story
Chichi is a wonderful girl. We rescued her after she was abandoned in a parking deck with her siblings as a kitten. She was born with congenital heart disease and has a hard time breathing. Even through all of this, she is very loving and affectionate, and we would love to allow her to have a better life. We've been quoted a wide range since we've had her. When we first took her to the vet, they suggested we put her down or let her live out the rest of her life; they did not think she would live a full year. She is now almost 3 years old, but since we can't spay her due to her condition, living with her in heat is quite difficult for us.

Hi, I'm Dilly — a little brown tabby kitten with energy for days! 🐱 I'm already neutered and ready to bring joy and playfulness to your home. I'm friendly and love to have fun, making me the perfect little companion for an adopter looking for an active, engaging and playful kitten. I would love to be adopted with my brother, Havarti, if possible. I can't wait to meet you — come say hello! ✨

Story
Must be adopted with Jackson. James and Jackson are truly the best boys — lap sitters, snugglers, and total velcro kittens. Bottle‑raised from just one week old, they adore people and think humans are the center of their universe. If you’re looking for affectionate, loyal companions, these two are everything. James and Jackson are also extra special: they’ve tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV). FeLV isn’t cancer — it’s a virus that can make the immune system a bit weaker over time. But here’s the part many adopters don’t know: FeLV‑positive cats can live wonderfully happy, love‑filled lives, especially when they’re kept indoors, cared for thoughtfully, and given a calm, safe home. These boys are playful, social, and full of joy. FeLV simply means they’ll need to be indoor‑only, live with each other or other FeLV‑positive cats, and have routine vet monitoring. Many FeLV cats enjoy months to years of excellent quality of life, and they thrive with families who want to make a meaningful difference for two incredibly sweet kittens. If you’re ready to open your heart to a pair of affectionate, people‑loving boys, James and Jackson will give that love back tenfold.

Story
It's Tara! And she is ready to keep you entertained for hours. Tara is VERY neat cat. She is quite smart and silly! She is energetic at times and will do best in a home where she has room to zoom and play. She loves to play with the kittens and will pounce and chase. Tara is awesome with kids and would likely enjoy a polite pup! This cat loves to show off her mermaid side by standing in her water bowl while drinking. This girl has no shortage of personality! Tara is also loving and knows her people. She loves to greet us when we arrive at the Cat Cafe. She is looking for a home where someone will get a kick out of her antics and want her to be an involved member of the family. She is a beauty too- a really pretty fawny tabby queen. We are crazy about Tara at Cat Tales!
