Story
Hi, my name is Ernie and I’m a very cute and soft approximately 10 month old kitten. My foster parents rescued me from the streets about 5-6 weeks ago. They love me but their older female cat isn’t adjusting well to me and sometimes I’m too rough with her when I get excited playing which isn’t good especially since their home is very small. My foster parents have me up to dates on my shots, have been neutered and I have a chip. They are training me to get my nails clipped regularly at home. In fact, I have a clean bill of health all around. I’m seeking a home where I can be myself and be loved without disrupting another kitty. My foster parents even bought me a very fancy cat tree with 4 beds and a cabinet at the base for my litter box that they want me to take to my new home. It is gray/ white/ cream in color with multiple scratching posts. I am extremely clean with myself, very good at using the litter box and I even clean the floor well after I eat if I make a mess.

Story
Hi!! An old coworker of mine found this little guy in Homeland on January 11th and I’ve had him since then. My coworker attempted to look for his owner since I live in San Jacinto but we didn’t have any luck. When I took him he was malnourished with fleas and I got him treated for everything and I’d be happy to provide his medical records. He has calicivirus which is a chronic respiratory illness with no cure but he can live with other cats as long as they are vaccinated with the FVRCP vaccine. I usually take him into the restroom with me when I take hot showers to help with his breathing if he needs it, aside from that, he’s pretty okay on his own. He is a very sweet cat, ever since he’s been off quarantine, he’s been socialized with my 3 (spayed) female cats and my dog. He loves to purr and be pet, he loves to eat and play all the time so he’d be great to have with another kitten or playful dog/cat. Please reach out if you’re interested :) I’m keeping him until he finds a home

Story
Was gifted this kitten and soon found out my son and 3 month old daughter are both severely allergic to cats. I cannot keep him unfortunately. Hes great with kids, dogs and other cats. I don’t want to take him to a shelter because they will eventually euthanize him as what I was told most of the shelters around me do that due to overfilled kennels. I believe he is around 6-7 months old.
