Story
Sunshine is named perfectly - her personality is sunshine and sweetness and warmth. This sweet girl came to us with an injured leg that seemed to just start getting better by the day. We are just checking in with her as she lets us know how she is doing. But what we know for sure is that she seems as happy as can be and would love to show you how much she loves to snuggle, play and purr.

Story
There's no need to pussyfoot around the topic. Roseland has a few pounds to lose, but isn't that true for many of us. Roseland is a true professional cuddler. Weighted blanket? Check! Makes the bed feel not so lonely? Yep. Gives relax & take a nap vibes? Definitely. Jump on your countertops? Mmm, probably not. Energetic attacker of toys? No. There's a time in everyone's life for a kitten and then there's a time when you want a big lug of a cat to calm your nerves and tell you that everything will look better after a nap. Cool fall weather will be here before you know it. You better grab Roseland and curl up with a good book!

Good with kids,
Story
Prim is sweet, confident and easy going. She loves to lounge as well as play and is the first one to figure out new toys and climbing options. Prim has the cutest little chirpy mew, and she will use it to call out gently to you to play with her. She is tolerant of children and will snuggle up next to anyone once her playtime is done. While not quite "cuddly," Primrose loves to be close to her people and will make biscuits on the bed or couch beside you before curling up to snooze. She has lots of kitten energy still and will bring you toys to play with her, as well as happily entertain herself (and anyone watching) with wand and mouse-like toys. Her coat has beautiful orange spots mixed with the tabby brown, and a sweet white bib shows that this polite little lady is always ready for a snack. Primrose can be a little shy with them at first, but is very interested in other cats and would get along with any other cat with introductions and a week or two of getting to know each other.
