Story
Leia is a fun playful young cat(3yrs old). She’s energetic and fun to be around. She splooches and loves to lay on top of boxes. She has an older sister(adopted) and for her whole life so far they were fine until they got into a really bad fight while I was gone one day and they have had to be seperated since. The little reactions they’ve had together leia does her cute little meows of excitement seeing her sister but knows her boundaries and doesn’t go towards her or tries to attack her. Leia loves her space but sometimes likes to cuddle

Story
Yanagi has been in the family for 8 years since she was a kitten. She is extremely friendly and playful with ‘her(me)’ human. She has an adopted sister that she’s been living with for 3yrs now since the sister was a kitten but a few months ago while I was gone they got into a very bad fight and I have had to keep them separated for 4 months now. She now loves being brushed. She loves dog toys. She normally plays fetch when she’s in the mood and brings back the toy you yeet across the room but it’s a hit or miss. She used to do it more when she was younger. She can be pretty talkative otherwise quiet and relaxed. She has PTSD from hearing cats outside fighting and goes into redirected aggression sometimes but normally snaps out of it within a day or two. It has been 4 months and with the little interactions of her sister here and there they both are not getting along still, not fighting but hissing, so they both need better homes

Story
Meet Minky — the playful grey monster with endless zoomies, nonstop cuddles, and just the right amount of chaos! At only 6 months old, this little guy is always on the move, turning every moment into an adventure. One minute he’s racing through the house at full speed, the next he’s taking a quick power nap before bouncing right back into action. His adorable little trill meow makes everything he does even cuter. Minky is incredibly affectionate and believes personal space is highly overrated. He loves climbing all over you for purr-filled snuggles and will happily demand your attention whenever he can. If you’re sitting down, expect him to be in your lap… or on your shoulder… or directly in your face. He also absolutely adores his siblings, especially his brother Gizmo. Together, they’re the ultimate mischievous duo — playing hard, cuddling even harder, and keeping life endlessly entertaining. Minky is full of personality, love, and kitten chaos, and he’s guaranteed to make every day a little brighter.
