Here is what her foster volunteers say about her after only one week in foster care: How would you describe the cat’s general personality? Kai is very sweet, friendly, and affectionate. She loves being around people.   Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes, she really enjoys being petted.   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? She especially likes having her head and face petted, but she is comfortable being touched almost anywhere, including her back, tail, paws, and paw pads. We haven’t tried petting her belly yet.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? We haven’t noticed any so far, although we haven’t tried touching her belly.   Does the cat come on your lap? Yes! She loves sitting or standing on us.   Does the cat like to be held? Yes, she seems to enjoy being held, although we haven’t tried holding her for very long.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? Yes. Sometimes she even stands or lies on our chests, and she also likes sleeping between our legs.   Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, She’ll jump onto our laps or desks, or stand on her hind legs and put her front paws on our legs to get our attention.   Does the cat like to play? Yes.   What are the cat’s favorite games and toys? She loves chasing little balls, playing with interactive bird toy, and chasing a wand toy. She is incredibly quick when she runs and jumps.   How vocal is the cat? She sometimes meows when she wants attention, but she is generally pretty quiet.   What kinds of sounds does the cat make? She makes soft little meows.   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? She occasionally uses the cardboard scratcher.   Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? She eats Wellness chicken- or salmon-flavored dry food in small portions throughout the day. She also gets Wellness wet food every morning, plus some Greenies dental treats and freeze-dried salmon in the evening.   Is the cat picky about food? She can be a little picky about fish flavors. She doesn’t seem particularly fond of tuna wet food, although she will still eat it.   What is the cat’s favorite treat? We’re still figuring that out! She may prefer chicken-flavored treats. We’ve ordered some new wet food flavors for her to try.   What medication is the cat on, and how is it administered? None.   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Sometimes at night, if she sees parts of us moving under the blanket, she seems to think it’s playtime and may swat at us. Keeping the blanket tucked around us usually solves it.   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Once, shortly after her spay surgery, she tried to jump onto my lap but missed and accidentally scratched me.   Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? She may give a little nip if she’s had enough petting or doesn’t want a hand near her at that moment.   Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No.   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? She is very social, friendly, and confident around people.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on. We haven’t seen her interact with other animals ourselves. People who had taken care of her before told us that she seemed to be afraid of other cats and would hiss, but would not attack them. She has also seen dogs walking by outside the window and didn’t seem bothered by them, although she hasn’t had any direct contact with dogs.   Does the cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? She is very interested in people’s food, so keep an eye on your meals! She loves running water and will lick water off all kinds of surfaces. She may even come over for a drink while you’re brushing your teeth or washing vegetables.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Kai is such an affectionate, playful little girl. She loves being close to people, seeks out attention, and is always ready for a game. She would be a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an energetic cat who also loves to cuddle.   What are the cat’s challenges and how have you found to best manage them? She is curious about everything, so she may jump onto the counter or even approach the induction cooktop while someone is cooking. We keep a close eye on her in the kitchen and gently move her somewhere safe when needed.   The suggested donation amount for Kai is $400 (negotiable).

These handsome boys (Ollie sports a subtle white patch while Chazzy is solid black) joined Black Cat Rescue after losing their longtime owner, and they have been working hard to decompress in their foster home. While they are quite shy with new people, they are sweet-natured gentlemen who find immense comfort in each other’s presence and are slowly learning that the world is a safe, kind place.Almost 10 years ago Chazzy and Ollie were trapped outside along with their two sisters. The litter was on their own and getting a little too old (6 months or so) to compete with younger, more socialized kittens that year. The amazing woman who rescued them while working to help all of the cats in her community, decided to adopt all four of them. Sadly, Chazzy, Ollie and their sisters recently lost their lifelong person. Chazzy and Ollie are now looking for another amazing person to take a chance on two shy guys.How would you describe the cat's general personality?Chazzy and Ollie are very calm, enjoying each other's company in a quiet home. They prefer to stay in their hiding nooks when humans are around, but are slowly showing more personality in foster care as they play with each other when left to themselves. They have great manners in eating and using the litter box, and do not mind being pet every so often.Does the cat enjoy being pet?Chazzy and Ollie do not mind being pet, but they do not seek it out either.
