Story
Lily MRQ#: S11-22 DOB: 9/15/22 SEX: Female BREED: american shorthair COLOR: Tuxedo Lily her mom and sister (Luna,I think they are paternal twins) were left outside under a shed without food or water the coyotes were trying to get to them, because their owner did not want them. When I saw the mom run up to a coyote that was about 8' from her with her hair raised to protect her babies, I grabbed her and felt in my heart to help. These cats seem to be very healthy they have not had any health issues. Very affectionate when you lie down to sleep. Very inquisitive wants to be watch me when I am doing chores. Plays in the sheets while I change the bed. Her favorite play is chasing the feather toy on a long string so she may jump and do back flips. She can jump about 3' high or higher! She is pretty independent not needy she loves her cat tower to watch the birds. She is an inside cat. She will roll over on her back when she feels safe and let you pet her belly if I could, I would keep her and her sister they are very fun to watch them play together and groom each other. Personality Traits: Is litter box trained Has been around other cats Has been around LARGE dogs Is a very ACTIVE kitty Is a mellow, laid back kitty Does NOT liked to be held Does NOT liked to be picked up Luna Other Personality Traits: She is very cautious and will need patience and kindness to trust. Once she trusts you, you will have a buddy for life she is very loyal but will be scared at first as she has always been with her sister. She will need time to get to know and trust new people but if you play with her and let her figure things out on her own she will do better as she is very independent. Please send email to MeoowzResQ@aol.com or call the MeoowzResQ office at (714) 997-0868 if you are interested in adopting Lily or to find out which Adoption Events this kitty will be attending.

Story
Bingo and Cheddar are the perfect pair. Bingo is mostly Orange with a little white. He is the cuddlier and and looooooves to be pet. Bingo will actively ask for pets in the morning and evening if he hasnt gotten his daily cuddles. Cheddar is orange with white bottom half. He loves to play and will nudge in on any pet session that is happening without him. The foster home has other young cats, a gentle giant, Golden Doodle and three young kids. Bingo and Cheddar are great with all of them! Loud or quiet house, these flexible kitties will thrive! They are both playful, love treats and laser lights. Cheddar comes to a whistle for treats. He would be easy to train to do tricks if you were up for that kind of fun! Cheddar is outgoing and social and Bingo is a little more reserved but comes out of his shell if Cheddar is around. Bingo won't do well without Cheddar and they need to be adopted together.

Fizzy is an affectionate cat, likes to hang out with people, naps and sleeps on the bed. He loves chasing feathers and playing fetch. Fizzy would work best in a house without other male cats, he tends to be a little territorial around them. A lovely cat!

Story
Found in an adoption site around 7 years ago, at that moment he had some wounds and he was not too familiar with being around people. He was around 3 years old at that time and super skinny. We grew up to love him and did as much as we could to make him comfortable around us. Our household grew up a little too much now with 2 kids and a baby coming on May. We are looking for someone that could spend good quality time and can actually take good care of him since as he grows, he would need more care and more love that with pain in my heart I don't think our family could give him that. Please, if you're looking for a loving, playful, funny and really quiet cat, give him a chance and he would get into your heart.

Story
Boo! Be afraid to pass this guy up! Boo is a rescue bottle fed kitten that quickly bonded with our adult cat Maggie. The two of them are now inseparable and are for adoption as a pair. They are so sweet to watch. Boo is a little talkative, always  asking chirping questions as he lays at our feet asking for tummy scratches and playtime. Favorite activities include playful box time, garden window sunbathing with Maggie, and he is the best dishwashing partner! He is a great kitchen cat:)  ##1673678##
