JOINS IN THE ROUGHHOUSING WITH HER BOYS  DOB 4/14/21 Mew! Mew, everyone! I’m Clara, a super-sweet, quiet, demure charcoal grey and white tuxedo gal who’s actually the retired momma of the #graffiti-boys litter. I'm a real beauty because I have a sleek, shiny coat that's soft as a bunny's fur, and my big green eyes are mesmerizing! I’m not a big fan of being picked up, but I love it when Foster Meowmy scratches my chin, cheeks, and chin as well as when she gently caresses my back. I was initially shy when I first arrived in my foster home, but once I got to know and trust Foster Meowmy (thanks to treats and yummy food!), I started relaxing. Meowmy is very conscious that sudden movements make me nervous, so she makes sure that she moves around me very slowly. You see, I was rescued from an apartment complex as a stray momma cat with my three boys, so my radar always on the alert for danger to protect my babies from predators. Admittedly, it took a while for that mindset to be discarded and for me to wake up to the reality that I was suddenly living in a safe, secure environment of plenty. Although my three boys, Dondi, Zephyr, and Banksy, were weaned long ago, I can’t resist being the “helicopter momma” who’s always in the background watching out for them. Even though I’m a dainty lass, I even join in their roughhousing from time to time. I become somewhat of a police officer when it comes to the other resident cats and my boys. The fact is – I’ll always love my sons! Most of the time, I stay out of the way and am as quiet as a mouse. (Who wouldn't be when her sons are such flamboyant characters?) I’m happy to keep to myself and don’t demand a lot of attention from Foster Meowmy, although I luxuriate when she does pet me. Now it’s time for me and my family to find out forever homes. All I ask for is a quiet home with people who know the power of a gentle touch. And it would be the cat's meow if I could be adopted with Banksy.

Story
I'm Athena, a sassy calico girl who acts and looks like a goddess. Found scrounging for food and abandoned in an apartment complex, I was rescued by a nice lady visiting a friend. I was eager for food and attention, and I'm now in search for my forever home! I am a bit slow to warm up at first, but once I do, I'm a total sweetheart. I like chin and neck rubs and will roll into head pets too. I can also be a bit spicy at times like a typical calico girl as I like to be in charge. But I will get along with other cats after proper introduction and time. Did someone say play?! Yes, I like to play too, climbing high on wall mounted shelves and up cat trees, leaping from place to place after string and wand toys. I can be a bit of a goofy gal and entertain from time to time. Are you looking for a calico goddess with bit of sass?! Take me home, and we will have a blast. -Reach out today to meet me ASAP.

LOVES TO CUDDLE, PLAY, AND ENTERTAIN  DOB 5/18/22 Hey there, everyone! I’m Mikey, a sweet, friendly, curious, playful, and entertaining “bicolor,” which means that I'm mostly white with grey tabby on my head, back, and tail. I got my name from a 1972 Quaker Oaks “Mikey Likes It” commercial of a toddler who would “eat anything.” That’s me, and I’m not ashamed at all! There are cats starving in China, so no food should be tossed out! You see, my family moved out of their apartment and left me behind to fend for myself outside. I’m a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, so I made the best of my situation. I enjoyed climbing trees, chasing squirrels, and following folks when they walked their dogs. I assumed that an open apartment door was an invitation for me to mosey on in, and everyone adored me. Only problem was, nobody wanted to adopt a stray cat, which is what I really wanted. So “I ate anything” until my future foster meowmy decided that she wanted to foster me until she could find me my forever home with a family who’d never abandon me again. Here I am in my foster home, happy as a lark with the other kitties. I love to cuddle beside Foster Meowmy as we binge on Netflix and Animal Planet, and when she heads for bed, I curl up at her feet. And boy howdy! I love to entertain my hoomans when we interactively play with feather wand-toys and laser pointers as well as when I play soccer with my crinkle balls and catnip mice. I’d be a great kids’ playmate as long as they knew that I don’t like to be picked up. Arrange to meet me today! Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a kitty like me who’s past the stage of kitten mayhem. I’m much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break any of your treasured accessories.

Story
FOUND AS A JOBSITE STRAY KITTEN  DOB 8/26/22 Mew! Mew, everyone! I’m Lollis, a delightful torbie gal who has quite a heartwarming rescue story. (“Torbie” means that I’m a brown tabby with patches of peach that makes me look like I was splashed with caramel in a candy factory.) I was a stray orphan kitten fending for myself when future foster meowmy spotted me at her jobsite. It didn’t take me long to decide that she was meant to be my savior. I ran to her, and she scooped me up. I cuddled in her lap to make the unforgettable journey to my foster home, and we’ve been bonded ever since. Once in my foster home, I was overjoyed to kiss the hardscrabble life good-bye! Boy howdy! Brimming food and water bowls, climate control, and safety from predators all spelled security and happiness to me. I get along great with the other cats and resident dogs. I have a playful and independent spirit, which makes me a perfect companion for kids. Although I usually maintain my freedom, there are those rare, cherished moments when I need a little snuggle and will seek cuddles from my hoomans. Yes, I chose Foster Meowmy, and now it’s time for you to choose me to be your next feline companion. I want to become an integral part of your life and make every day an adventure worth sharing. Arrange to meet me today, and let’s form a bond that's unbreakable! HOPE ID 23-1014-A047                                                                                If you are interested in Lollis and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php .

EXPERT BISCUIT MAKER  DOB 10/12/24 Hey there, everyone! I’m Suki, a sweet, snuggly, and affectionate white-chinned brown tabby gal who’s a prim-and-proper lady. I absolutely love being cuddled in Foster Meowmy’s arms. I was found in a WalMart parking lot as a tiny, fragile orphan with no momma or siblings in sight. I was way too young to have been separated from my momma, but fortunately Foster Meowmy is an experienced cat lady, and her daughter is a vet-tech, so they knew just what to do to get me on track to being the healthy, well-adjusted kitten that I am. Suckling and making biscuits on soft blankets is an endearing hold-over from my being weaned too soon. I’m no push-over! No sirree! I know how to set boundaries with the resident cats, and I’ll hiss to make sure they don’t mess with me. And then I’ll settle right down to cuddle in Foster Meowmy’s arms or play soccer with my mouse toys. When I arrived at my foster home, I was delighted to meet Zuko, another foster kitten exactly my age, who has become like a brother to me. We even look alike! We have a blast tumbling and pouncing, climbing and wrestling, and when we're exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle. And I’m slowly being introduced to the resident dogs, whom I find very curious. Now I’m ready to find my forever home! Although we’re available separately, consider adopting Zuko and me together so we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. Arrange to meet me today!
