Story
This is Minnie :) She is around 4yo, and a sweetheart. She’s shy, and takes a while to warm up to new people. Minnie came to us with her front paws already declawed. She’s not aggressive, but is very afraid and distrusting of other cats, dogs and small children. She is anxious when she can’t be in her own quiet space without other pets. She’s fine with older kids who know to respect her space. We have a 3yo she’s good with, and a young cat she isn’t. She is litter box trained and spayed and up to date on all her shots. She can be a lap cat for the right person, she prefers to be the only pet in the household. We want to make sure Minnie goes to a loving home with someone who can keep her for life and give her an anxiety free space of her own.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
We found a stray cat in the garage during the winter, and we decided to keep her. She had a tendency to escape, and sure enough she became pregnant. She had her kittens on July 17th, 2023. Chich was second born, and he's the biggest out of all three kittens. He is very talkative, and is always following people around. He is very friendly, warming up to our dog fast and he is excellent with kids. During parties, he will come out to investigate and he tolerates strangers petting him. He's also a bit rowdy, always trying to shove his way into closing doors so he can investigate, and jumping onto shelves to sniff things out. Chich just needs a human to love, he enjoys snuggling with humans and he likes being in the same room as his people.

Story
Tobette is about 5 months old and quite energetic! She’s very active and playful. She gets along great with our other kitties. Unfortunately we are unable to keep her due to apartment restrictions. She is pretty clingy and vocal. She loves attention! Not nearly as calm as her sister, Strip. We would love for her to go to a great home!
