Story
Remmy was originally adopted late 2022, she’s about 3. Remmy takes a bit to warm up but she’s very cuddly and sweet once she does. A calm environment helps for this. She’s good with kids if they’re calm and slow to move around her or she’ll just get nervous. Remmy is very sweet she’s never bit or harmed me or anyone else including kids but she will hide if nervous, she’s very sweet and playful otherwise. Remmy loves to fetch toys if you throw them for her. She loves to cuddle. It should be known that she was my mom’s cat first and my mother did unfortunately declaw her front claws.

Story
She is roughly 8 years old, she would prefer a home that is calm, older children would work as she loves kids and men most. She will spend most of her day sleeping, she has a respiratory issue that needs addressing. She is a very affectionate cat unfortunately our home is to small and chaotic she is not thriving, she only comes out at night or at very calm moments. She is fully indoors and terrified of almost everything. I took her in from a coworker that had two other cats, one male cat that would bully her. I wasn't given much info on her she may already be spayed but i am unsure. She loves everyone in the family but its not fair to her to only feel comfortable coming out when its calm she would do so much better in a older family home if you can open your heart to her and maybe do a trial run i promise she will steal your heart

These cats are in Big Bear Lake, California too!

Story
I have 4 new kittens ready for adoption in about two weeks. They are still weeding off of mom but looking to place them in a nice home. They are indoor litter box trained. They are very loving, playful, social able and come from a very loving home. They love to cuddle and play ball. They are raised by their two loving parents and me. They will have their first vet appointment before the adoption as well. They are free to a loving home. Its best to adopt two so they have someone to play with and their siblings are wonderful together. None have been adopted yet but have had interest. Please call or text me if you are seriously interested. They will not be ready for adoption until completely weeded off of mom, which is about 2 approx. two weeks from the 1st of jan. 2026. text me at 951-590-5807. I live in Big Bear Lake. If you would like to reserve a kitten. I have 3 female, 1 male kittens. They are a mix of domestic Short Hair, Tabby Cat, European Short Hair, & Ocicat.
