Story
Bobo was rescued from an outdoor colony in January 2026. He was underweight, had an injured eye, and an upper respiratory infection. After a short time in the shelter and a month in foster, he is now happy, and healthy! Bobo had his left eye removed on 3/18/27 - and it has not slowed him down at all! Bobo is a very playful kitten that loves to run, jump, chase, and wrestle with any/all kinds of toys! One of his favorite toys is a gingerbread cat plush dog toy that he will carry around his room - it is very cute! When Bobo isn't playing, he likes to sit by me while work on the computer or cuddle in my lap for a nap. Bobo can be shy meeting new people, but warms up with treats and will purr with chin scratches and gentle pets. Once comfortable, his sweet and silly personality really shines! Bobo makes the cutest sounds when he plays, and he meows and trills at my resident cats!Bobo is ~5.5 months old, 6.5 lbs, neutered, chipped, FIV/FelV negative, and vaccinated.

Story
My name is Bessie. If you're looking for a cat with cattitude, I'm your gal! I'm mostly a shy kitty and might get hissy, but once I get to know you, I'll jump in your lap and snuggle when you least expect it. If you're patient and gentle, and especially if you offer me some TREATS, then I'll come to you on MY terms. My owner was a senior who passed away. I prefer a quiet household, and could probably get along with another cat who respects my personal space. An experienced cat owner would be best for taking care of my grooming and nail trims. I can be indoors, but I need a lot of outdoor time to help keep my girlish figure, and I love the outdoors! My birthday is Sept 6th, 2018. I have just been vaccinated for FVRCP and Rabies for 3 years, due Feb 25th, 2029. Will you welcome me in to your family?
