Kittens and cats in Des Moines, Washington

BIRTHED THEIR LITTERS ON THE SAME DAY DOB 10/1/23, 10/1/24 Hey there, everyone! We’re Winter and Summer, a sweet, calm, and gentle mother/ daughter duo who is very bonded to each other. Although we cry when we’re separated, we both adore sharing quiet moments with Foster Meowmy – especially when she rubs Winter’s belly or gently scratches Summer’s ears, chin, and cheeks. Boy howdy! Does that ever feel good! Winter says, “I’m a loving Turkish Van mix gal, which means that I’m white except for a black cap on my head and black tail. I’m really quite a stunning beauty who will mesmerize you with my shiny gold-coin eyes and plush, snowy-white coat. When Foster Meowmy’s not available to dispense belly rubs, I’m quite content to pass the day basking in a patch of sunshine on the windowsill. It’s the perfect spot to watch “kitty TV” as squirrels scamper up the trees, birds fly by, and brazen lizards stare at me through the glass.” Summer says, “I’m a playful “bicolor,” which means that I’m mostly white except for soft brown tabby on my head, back, and tail. My natural eyeliner and lipstick give me a glamorous look, if I do say so myself! I’m barely more than a kitten myself, so I have a playful side that loves to sneak up on toys like a wild little huntress. You should see the enthusiasm that I have when Foster Meowmy waves the wand toy up, down, and around the room!” Winter continues, “I deserve to live a life of leisure because by the time I was 19 months old, I had already delivered two litters of kittens at an apartment complex in southwest Houston. Like mother, like daughter -- I was a year old when Summer was born, and Summer was seven months old when we both gave birth to a total of nine kittens on the very same day in May!” We merged our two litters so none of the kits knew which of us was their momma or grandma. We raised our kittens together as true partners to insure that our kittens got the nonstop love and nurturing they needed to thrive. When the kits were six weeks old, a kind HOPE volunteer rescued all eleven of us from the apartments and brought us into foster care. Now that we’ve permanently retired from motherhood, we’re ready to teach our forever hooman family how to relax and chill out after a hard day at the office. Oh the fun we all might have side-by-side on the sofa as we binge on Netflix and Animal Planet. To make our ecstasy complete, you just have to promise to give Winter an occasional belly rub and from time to time scratch the sweet spots on Summer’s head. Since we’re inseparable and cry when we aren’t together, we think it would be the cat's meow if we could be adopted together. We could be lifetime cuddle buddies and playmates while you're at work or on vacation. Arrange to meet us today! Incidentally, there are advantages of adopting kitties who are past the stage of kitten mayhem. We’re much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break your treasured accessories. HOPE ID 25-0609-S039, S040 Winter and Summer are currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $425 bonded-pair adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

ADORES NONSTOP HEAD MASSAGES AND CHEEK SCRATCHES DOB 4/13/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Pluto, a sweet, friendly, and loving Bombay mix gal with copper-penny eyes and a sleek, shiny black-patent leather coat. True to a Bombay’s nature, I’m a certified Velcro kitty who loves to stick right next to my Foster Meowmy or follow her wherever she goes. When she walks into the foster room, I’m the first of my seven foster mates to greet her. To show my delight in seeing her, I immediately drop my whole body on its side or rub my pheromones on her hands and ankles. I can be a cuddle bug as long as she’s massaging my head or scratching my cheeks, chin, and ears nonstop. Although I’m not a huge fan of being held, I prefer for Foster Meowmy to hold me to her chest with my paws over her shoulder. After my feral momma birthed Karma, Jupiter, Opal, and me outside of Foster Meowmy’s house, Momma moved us through an open window to inside a neighbor’s car . . . and then again a few doors down to a used-car business. Imagine Foster Meowmy’s surprise when she looked inside an old car and found not only us under the driver’s seat but also another litter of four kittens under the passenger’s seat!! When we were five weeks old and could eat on our own, Foster Meowmy gathered up both of our stowaway litters and brought us all inside to the safe haven of her home. You can imagine the mayhem that eight kittens can wreak inside our foster room! Although I will tumble and pounce, climb and wrestle with my siblings, I really prefer to spend my time lounging. We’ve all got a little mischief in our genes because we love to escape the foster room to sniff around and explore other parts of the house, but I’m usually the mastermind with the most ingenious plan to lead my siblings in our jailbreak. Now I’m ready to bring the sleek, shiny beauty and Velcro-stickiness of a Bombay to my forever family. Could that be you? Then arrange to meet me today! If you’re looking for a pair of kittens, please consider adopting me with one of the other #car-stowaways. We think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted in pairs so we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0614-A048 Pluto is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $325 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

HEARTWARMING RESCUE STORY DOB 8/26/22 Hey there, everyone! I'm Lollis, a very affectionate, delightful, playful “torbie” gal which 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 can't get enough time to spend with Foster Meowmy, so I sleep with her and am always asking her for cuddles, especially when I don't have to compete with the resident cats for her attention. Although my independent, freedom-loving spirit has proven helpful in dealing “as needed” with the dogs, other cats, and kids in my foster home, my innate friskiness has made me a perfect companion for those same kids. I’ve been very bonded to Foster Meowmy ever since she spotted me at her jobsite as a seven-month-old stray kitten who had no momma or siblings in sight. Realizing that Foster Meowmy was my ticket to a life that was better than dumpster diving, I wasted no time and ran up to her. She scooped me up and drove home with me cuddled in her lap. Yes, our special connection began on that unforgettable journey. To this day, in those cherished moments when I need a little snuggle, it’s Foster Meowmy to whom I turn when I seek cuddling. I hope that my heartwarming rescue story has touched your heart. 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! Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a gal 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 family heirlooms. HOPE ID 23-1014-A047 Lollis is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $325 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

Meet Chanel No. 5 🖤✨ Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Just like her namesake, Chanel No. 5 is timeless, elegant, and impossible to forget. This stunning all-black beauty has a sleek, glossy coat that shines like satin and a personality that will absolutely steal your heart. Chanel’s story started on the streets, where she was originally trapped to be spayed and returned as part of a TNR program. But the moment rescuers met her, it was clear this girl had other plans. She was far too friendly and chatty to go back outside! Instead, she asked—very politely and very persistently—for a cozy indoor life… and we’re so glad she did. Since coming inside, Chanel has blossomed into even more of a lovebug. She adores people and has a magical ability to charm anyone into giving her pets (and probably a few extra treats too). She’s talkative, affectionate, and always happy to keep you company. When she’s not busy winning hearts, Chanel enjoys batting at wand toys and string toys like a tiny panther in training. And after playtime? You’ll likely find her relaxing in her favorite hammock, living the luxurious life she was clearly meant for. Her name fits her perfectly: this former street kitty now expects—and deserves—the very best. A soft place to nap, plenty of affection, and a forever family to adore her. If you’re looking for a cat with beauty, personality, and just the right touch of glamour, Chanel No. 5 is ready to make your home her runway. 🐾 --- Chanel is approximately 2.5 years old, spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and in perfect health! She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy, all she needs now is her forever home. She has been living with other cats in her foster home and has tolerated them well so far. We think she would appreciate having a kitty friend to play with, but she would also do just fine as an only cat. Chanel has never met a dog, but with slow and careful introductions with a cat-savvy dog, she could get along with a pup sibling. ---

 Chanel No. 5 is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, or locations along these routes.

Meet Pippie 💕 Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Pippie is a little over one year old, and he is the definition of gentle sweetness. While he can be just a touch more cautious than his brother Tiger (who is also adoptable), his loving personality shines through the moment he feels safe. He approaches new situations thoughtfully, taking a second to observe — but once he knows you’re a friend, he blossoms into the most affectionate, cuddly companion. Rescued from a hoarding situation alongside his siblings, Pippie didn’t have the easiest start in life. But with patience and love in his foster home, he’s grown into a devoted little gentleman who adores human attention. He may not barrel into your lap immediately, but give him a little reassurance and he’ll happily curl up beside you, purring softly. Pippie is wonderfully snuggly and loves being close to his people. He enjoys gentle pets, cozy nap spots, and quiet bonding time. Pick him up and he’ll settle right in, often making biscuits while his purr motor hums. He has a soft, calming nature that makes him such a special companion. He’s also playful in a cute, delicate way — batting at toys, chasing strings, and wrestling with his foster buddies. Pippie isn't one to roughhouse too hard, he knows when to stop and usually prefers more "civilized" play with his favorite toys! After a difficult beginning, Pippie is ready for his forever home — one that will appreciate his sensitive heart and give him the reassurance he needs to fully thrive. In return, he’ll offer endless love, loyalty, and the sweetest companionship. 💗 — Pippie has a nearly identical brother named Tiger who is also adoptable! While they would each do well in separate homes, they make an especially adorable pair for anyone considering two sweet siblings. Pippie is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in excellent health. He keeps his litter box tidy and has wonderful house manners. After living in a colony/hoarding situation, Pippie gets along great with other cats and would likely thrive with a feline friend in his forever home. He has never met a dog, but given his calm and sweet personality we believe that with proper introductions he could do great with a new, respectful, pup sibling! ---
