SHY BUT LOVABLE YOUNG LADY WANTS TO BE THE STAR OF A CALM, LOVING HOME AS THE ONLY PET. AFTER SOME “GETTING TO KNOW YOU” TIME, SHE ABSOLUTELY ADORES PEOPLE AND SHOWING OFF FOR ATTENTION. GOOD WITH KIDS OVER 10 THAT CAN BE GENTLE. NO CATS, KITTENS, OR DOGS ALLOWED!I’m a ladylike and graceful medium/large size girl, but I’m also cuddly once I trust you and know you will be gentle. When I was brought to the shelter, I was an outside stray cat with 9 kittens to protect. I was removed from the wild after attacking someone, and I do have a bite history on record with the shelter. At the time, I was very scared, defensive, and trying to protect my babies, so it has taken me some time to get to this point.Now that I’ve had time, patience, and gentle care, I love being around people and get so excited when someone I know and trust is around! I will follow you, roll over, and make air biscuits, my favorite move, showing how much I enjoy and love you! Sometimes I will squirm around or roll back and forth hoping to make you watch and laugh, then come pet me or give me some treats for such good effort!Because of my history and personality, I need a calm, understanding home where I can be the only pet. No cats, kittens, or dogs for me, please! I also need a family that will respect my boundaries, go slow with me, and help me continue to feel safe. I may do well with kids over 10 as long as they are gentle, respectful, and understand that I need time and space when adjusting.I love to play with my little toys in my kennel, and I do it quite often. When I’m out, I explore and sometimes stop and have fun with the mesmerizing motion toy that moves under a sheet from Amazon. I love playing with wand toys with you, and I will probably make you chuckle as I chase and grab it, sometimes tighter and tighter until I’ve managed to get the whole thing! Then I let go to start again! Leave some toys out for me because once I get comfy, I’m sure to stop and play with some of my little toys off and on throughout the day to have a little fun on my own.I love soft cushions and blankets where I can sit up off the floor, be near you, and have a big cozy bed or mattress in a quiet part of the room you’re in the most. I might like one in the bedroom so I can be with you there too. I like to climb sometimes, so having a cat tree near a window would be great and nice entertainment.I like dry food, and here they use Purina One, but there might be

SWEET BOY IS VERY FRIENDLY, PLAYFUL AND AFFECTIONATE, EVERMORE CONFIDENT. WILL DO WELL IN A FAIRLY CALM HOME WITH TLC, AND LOTS OF FUN WITH TOYS AND WAND TOY PLAY. MAY HIDE AT FIRST. WILL COME OUT SEEING A HAND AND SWEET TALK FROM PEOPLE THAT LOVE HIM. FINE WITH GENTLE OLDER KIDS THAT RESPECT HE`S TIMID, AND MIGHT GIVE A NERVOUS NIP OCCASIONALLY UNTIL SETTLED. OKAY WITH OTHER FRIENDLY, GENTLY PLAYFUL CATS. MIGHT BE OKAY WITH GENTLE DOGS. I have this adorable face that seems to smile, a beautifully unique short coat, and this very short tail that instantly attracts you to me. If so, please stay calm! You`re really going to love me if you give me a minute of sweet talk and let me come to your hand to get to know you. I`ll turn so that it will be easy to give me a neck rub! The longer you are in the room, the more I relax and begin to shadow your every move and jump up next to you to be gently pet, or hover all around your feet walking around to be near you! I come from a big family of friendly and playful cats, but very few toys. So we had fun being together and playing with each other. More of my brothers are here, or will be at the shelter soon, it would be great to have one of them share our home! I`m very good at meeting new friendly cats if there`s already one there! Some of my siblings have been adopted with dogs and okay with it. I watched my brothers learn about the electronic toys and tunnels, and slowly joined in. Now I`m obsessed, running through or sitting inside the tunnels and having fun pouncing and chasing the motion activated toys moving under a sheet and chasing the flying butterflies attached on the top! (All toys from Amazon.) Being tempted with a fuzzy worm wand toy is something I can`t resist! I will even come out of hiding to get it! I love chasing after wand ribbons and especially wand toys scooting across the floor and flying around to jump way up after! I can`t be nervous when I`m playing! Having fun is a real confidence booster! Especially because my person is playing with me! I will love showing you my new moves! I really do love people so much that I`ll try very hard to be brave and comfortable with the people around me ASAP. I will be out of my safe hiding spots exploring, and climbing, and finding comfy places to perch by a window, on the furniture, on a raised cat bed or tree! Approach me slowly there to reassure me that It`s really okay for me to be there! Bring over some treats, hold them out one at a time and see h

MY BROTHER, WATSON, AND I HAVE BEEN LIFELONG BEST BUDDIES THAT LOVE PEOPLE AND A REASONABLY EASY GOING HOME. REALLY, HE LOOKS UP TO ME TO HELP HIM KEEP HIS CONFIDENCE UP WHEN HE`S FEELING A LITTLE UNSURE. WE ARE A BONDED PAIR AND WILL ONLY BE ADOPTED TOGETHER! I`m a handsome, friendly and outgoing, yet quiet guy. Approach me with kindness and you`ll find me to be an instant friend that loves getting your attention! I like to walk about the room and check things out, and climb a little bit to get a better look. Having a cat tree with larger shelves to fit me, and Watson, will be perfect! I`ve begun to notice that these toys can be fun! I`m getting good with a wand toy hanging up, or with my people friends. I`m exploring tunnels and starting to really like the touch activated toy moving around under a sheet with a butterfly fluttering on top from Amazon! Sometimes I like it with the butterfly turned off, so mix it up! I`ll be able to teach Watson when he`s ready to join in with toys! We love cuddling together and separately on soft cushions, so we`ll need them to be big enough for both of us at once! Be sure to make lots of time for cuddling with us too! We`re so soft and a little squishy, you`ll love what warm cuddles we give! We`re so calm and sweet, that you`ll feel better just being around us! We enjoy wet (meow mix cups is our favorite) and dry food (we`re not so fond of the Purina one here), and remember to reward us with treats that we love!

ESPECIALLY SWEET AND GENTLE YOUNGSTER LOOKING FOR A FAIRLY CALM, YET FUN-NATURED FAMILY WITH HAPPY PEOPLE THAT LOVE LOTS OF ATTENTION AND CUDDLES. VERY CALM, TOLERANT AND ACCEPTING SO SHOULD BE GOOD WITH LOVE FROM ANY AGE KIDS, ALSO WITH OTHER PETS AS THEY BECOME FAMILIAR AND FRIENDS. HAS NOT BEEN DOG TESTED.You only need to approach me with kindness to become my new friend. I trust easily and quickly from having only love from humans so far. I`m pretty brave about handling new places, only cautious as I learn my way around. Having someone around seems to give me more courage. I`m very at ease around people, and seek them out. I love attention and lots of gentle petting! I`m very comfortable being picked up and held for cuddles and walking around with you, being curious about everywhere we go. I`ll often be somewhere close by, comfortably spread out on the floor, lounging on a soft cushion or bed, or sitting on a cat tree taking everything in as I relax. I`m not likely to hide very often as I get settled, but my tunnel is an important tool in becoming accustomed to new places. I use my tunnel as my safe space until I`m comfortable, a place to relax, and to help make playing with toys more fun! It also makes playing with our wand toys together more interesting! Having toys around seems to be something I`m learning about, but enjoying! I`ll carry my fuzzy mouse to a new spot, or kick a plastic toy to chase. I`m fascinated with the touch activated toy moving under a sheet, from Amazon. It`s just right to be stimulating fun, and not intimidating. I`ll drop what I`m doing when you offer treats! I didn`t quite know what to think about kittens when I first saw them, but I`ve been going up to other cats where they live to sit by their door and get acquainted. I don`t even mind if they growl or hiss a little at me because I`m a stranger. I have only encountered female cats so far. I probably won`t mind meeting a friendly guy buddy though. I do need to be an indoor only cat, and be treated right away if any fleas find me. I have a skin allergy to flea bites and get bald spots! Otherwise, you`re going to think I`m just perfect!

PLAYFUL. SWEET. AFFECTIONATE. GREAT WITH OTHER CATS AND GOOD WITH GENTLE KIDS. COULD BE OK WITH A CALM DOG.I am ready to greet you when you walk in the door and will beg for your affection! I love getting my head rubbed and my back scratched – I’ll purr so loud for you when you do that for me! I’m not very fond of being held yet, but that’s mostly because I’m so eager to play! I especially like playing with electronic floor toys and string/wand toys – bonus points if feathers are involved! I like to pick up the ends and walk off like I just finished a successful hunt! Because I have so much energy, having a cat buddy to play with in my new home would be very helpful for me. I also think having a cat tree with a place to hide would be great for me while I get settled in or whenever I feel the need to scratch something.

Story
Echo is about 7 months old. I found him outside a McDonald’s when he was around a month old and have raised him since then. He’s a very playful, curious cat with a huge personality. He loves being involved in whatever you’re doing and can be really sweet and affectionate. He seems interested in other cats, but he’s still figuring out how to interact with them and can get overwhelmed easily, so slow introductions would be best. I haven’t had the chance to see how he does with dogs or children. Echo does have some behavioral issues that will need patience and continued work. He has a history of biting and scratching people instead of giving warning signs. He will aggressively bite . Especially people he’s less familiar with . Because of that, I think he’d do best with someone more experienced with cats . This has been a difficult decision he has been my best friend . But i know if given the chance he could be your best friend too ! Price is negotiable i just want him in a happy home !
