Story
Pita was born on the early morning of 4/18/25, one of seven kittens. His mama is named Tiny and had her babies on my doorstep, so I brought all of them into my home. He was the runt of the litter, and I originally named him PIP as in pipsqueak. He has really bloomed! He is a ball of energy who will entertain you for hours on end, but he’s not too busy to climb into your lap or try to actually jump into your arms! He loves to play with his brothers and sister, but also loves to be cuddled. He is very brave and has no problem walking up to the adult cats in the home and try to make friends. He is definitely a little sweetheart.

Story
Brindle is a sweet young girl. She came to our house, as many strays have..., and she leapt right in to our house. She is domesticated and good with other cats. I do not know why she became a stray cat... but she is as cute as they get. Brindle has lots of energy and is playful. She is a sleek, skinny, long legged lady that will melt your heart. Brindle is a Tortie. She has very interesting markings. Her face is almost a perfect half and half division of colors. She uses the litter box and the litter machine like a pro. She is adventurous and she will thrive in an indoor home setting. I even let her roam outside, and she is back in a few hours after exercise. Brindle gets along with other cats and there is no compatibility issues. She is a doll. My health is a problem and I cannot maintain the care of my cats for much longer. Brindle deserves a great home... she is waiting for you. I hope to find her forever home soon.
