Story
Hi! I am Misty and I am a blessing! I was trapped in a community cat colony, but it became clear I wanted human love. My foster mom worked with me to help me feel safe and comfortable so I could show the love I have inside. I am very inquisitive and play well with everything I see. I especially love balls, play mice, dangling toys, laser lights, strings and climbing the cat tower and loft ladder. I get along well with other cats. I love wet food, tummy rubs, head scratches, being a lap kitty, a desk kitty, a kitchen and laundry helper, making beds (chasing hands under the covers!), and sleeping with my human. I want to be someone's love and companion.

Story
Rehoming my sweet 3yr old orange boy, neutered. He is the most affectionate pet I have ever had, but unfortunately we just moved into a much smaller home and he is super lonely/under-stimulated there. He LOVES having people and other animals around and gets along great with other cats/dogs and kids. A little skittish at first, but warms up after a few hours, especially if you just keep talking to him. Once he is comfortable, he is snuggly and wants to be around you all the time. He likes to curl up and sleep in soft little hiding spots and is a great little work from home buddy who will snuggle up next to you while you work. He LOVES playing fetch with small toys, goes crazy for a laser, and is obsessed with watching the world go by out the window. He never really grew out of looking or sounding like a kitten, so he is pretty small and squeaks instead of meows. I love this guy, just unfortunately dont have the time or space to simulate him as much as he needs in this new home.

Squirtle was saved from a construction site together with his siblings. Timid at first, he warms up quickly and likes to be petted. He loves to play with the other kittens and particularly appreciates chasing a laser light.

Story
Pikachu is a sweet one-and-half year old kitty, who like to be petted. He plays with other cats and kittens and does not mind the dogs at his foster home. He is shy at first and will initially hide if he does not know you, but once he gets acquainted, he appreciates lots of love and attention. He is bonded with (probably litter mate) Charmander. He will do fine with older children but will probably be intimated by young ones.

Story
Esmeralda is a sweet five-months old kitten, who was born outside to a feral cat. Together with her sister Loralei, she was rescued when she was eight weeks old. She was scared and not used to people, but has come a long way. She loves to be petted and rubbed under her chin. Esmeralda and Loralei are bonded and comfort each other and would love a home together. Esmeralda is a bit shy at first, but the more you hold her in your lap and pet her, the more comfortable she is. The two sisters' fur is soft and luxurious and it is calming just to have them in your lap and keep petting them.
