Kittens and cats in Normandy Park, Washington

Fizzy is a sweet cat who loves to cuddle and be pet. She is very good with kids and has not reacted when my toddler has pulled her tale or pinned her to the ground. I’m going through a domestic violence divorce and my ex-husband has refused to take her. I cannot take her to the rental I’ve acquired. I believe she’s around 9 years old.

Meet Dorito, the big orange boy you've been searching for your whole life! Adoption App: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat At 5 years old, Dorito is a big, handsome orange gentleman with a heart as warm as his sunny coat. He’s the perfect mix of independent and affectionate — the kind of cat who’s happy to lounge nearby while you go about your day, but always ready to remind you he’s there with his calm, steady presence and slow blinks. Dorito is patient and takes life at his own easy pace. He’s not one for chaos or drama — he prefers cozy windowsills, soft blankets, and quiet companionship. If you’re looking for a cat who will respect your space but still make you feel loved, Dorito is your guy. And when it comes to cuddles? He is all about them, as long as you respect his boundaries. Tummy rubs are not Dorito's "thing" and he also doesn't love being carried around like a baby... He has a reputation to uphold! Underneath that adorable orange exterior is a sweet soul who enjoys affection and trusts his people. Dorito would thrive in a home that appreciates his gentle independence and rewards his affectionate side with chin scratches and cozy nap spots. He’s past the kitten chaos stage and fully settled into his role as a loyal, mellow companion. If you’re ready to add a big, warm, slightly chatty lovebug to your life, Dorito is waiting to meet you. --- Adoption App: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Dorito is ~5 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. He does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy. All he needs now is his forever home! This nacho cheese flavored good boy would do well as an only cat or with an equally laid-back resident cat in the household. He doesn't seek out trouble with his foster siblings, but if they get too close or too wild, he will let out a disgruntled hiss or two. Dorito is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along their route. --- ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs.

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.

Meet Chowder-Your laid-back little lovebug! The adoption application can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Chowder is an adorable tabby kitten with sweetest personality and the softest purr. This easygoing girl is as chill as they come-a true go-with-the-flow kitten who's happy to adapt to whatever the day brings. Pick her up and she simply melts into your arms, rumbling away like a tiny motorboat. She absolutely loves affection and will happily soak up all the cuddles you're willing to give. Lovey, gentle, and oh-so-sweet, Chowder is the kind of kitten who makes every day feel a little warmer. Chowder also enjoys playtime with her siblings and can hold her own in a kitten wrestling match, but she's just as content lounging nearby and keeping you company. If you're looking for a calm, affectionate kitten who will grow into a devoted companion, Chowder is ready to snuggle her way right into your heart. Chowder is ~3 months old, spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health. She does a great job of keeping her litterbox tidy. All she needs now is her forever home! We believe slow introductions to a calm, cat-savvy pup, we think she could learn to love a new dog friend. Chowder's siblings are Miso (F) and Manny (F) Chowder would thrive if adopted with one of her siblings. Priority will be given to applicants interested in adopting a pair of kittens or who have patient, playful resident cats or dogs at home. Information on why adopting two kittens together is best for their short- and long-term health and behavior can be found here: http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens Chowder is currently in Houston, Texas but can be transported to the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, or locations along their route. --- ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs.

Meet Pippie 💕 Adoption Application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROSE/Cat Pippie is a little over one year old, and she is the definition of gentle sweetness. While she can be just a touch more cautious than her brother Tiger (who is also adoptable), her loving personality shines through the moment she feels safe. She approaches new situations thoughtfully, taking a second to observe — but once she knows you’re a friend, she blossoms into the most affectionate, cuddly companion. Rescued from a hoarding situation alongside her siblings, Pippie didn’t have the easiest start in life. But with patience and love in her foster home, she’s grown into a devoted little lady who adores human attention. She may not barrel into your lap immediately, but give her a little reassurance and she’ll happily curl up beside you, purring softly. Pippie is wonderfully snuggly and loves being close to her people. She enjoys gentle pets, cozy nap spots, and quiet bonding time. Pick her up and she’ll settle in sweetly, often making biscuits while her purr motor hums. She has a soft, tender nature that makes her such a special companion. She’s also playful in that charming, slightly dainty way — batting at toys, chasing strings, and wrestling with her foster buddies when she’s feeling confident. She’s past the wild kitten phase but still enjoys a good play session before settling in for cuddle time. After a difficult beginning, Pippie is ready for her forever home — one that will appreciate her sensitive heart and give her the reassurance she needs to fully thrive. In return, she’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 spayed, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in excellent health. She keeps her 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 her forever home. She has never met a dog, but given her calm and sweet personality we believe that with proper introductions she could do great with a new, calm, pup sibling! ---
