Story
Caroline was a feral cat in our yard, we trapped her and her kittens got her spayed and ear clipped and got her kittens adopted out. After they released her, she was in our yard and we fed her and pet her. She disappeared for a week and I was distraught only to find her on my patio half dead she had gotten attacked. I brought her to the vet, long story short, I brought her inside and tamed her. She’s the only cat out of all of them that we have that would prefer getting pet over getting fed. She’s not tame enough to actually pick her up, well we haven’t tried it yet. but she gets on your lap on the couch, and she sleeps in bed with us sometimes and lounges around the house and gets along well with all of our cats, and doesn’t wind our dog.

Story
I have had Monkey since she was born. Her mother is the other kitty in the pictures and her name is Moo Moo. I would like both of these beautiful, sweet, loving, cuddly and vocal cats to go to a new home together. I am currently pregnant and dealing with awful allergies to the kitties and haven’t been able to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have everything for them, and it would all go with them. They are the perfect cats for someone who has never had cats before because they are just the sweetest things ever and just want to be fed and loved on. Please reach out if you think you would be interested in giving these babies the home they deserve. I am so heartbroken to have to do this, but I just want the best for them and my baby that’s coming soon.

I got him and his brother when I was in Julian CA. But it was a very impulsive decision on my part and I couldn't be home enough between work and school to take care of them. They are 3 months old and have had all their shots. Him and his brother are in good health.
