Story
Sarafina is such a little lady! Honestly she is the most well mannered, polite, cat that i have ever met.I returned from work one evening, as soon as I opened the car door she jumped in my car and sat right in my lap. We attempted to find her owners, it was still pretty cold out and she was visibly pregnant. But no one claimed her. We let her stay in the garage and come and go as she pleased.I had had just moved her to our spare bedroom, we have 4 dogs and 2 other cats, so she got a private suite and the next day she had three kittens.She is a calm and gentle cat. We've adopted out two of the kittens. We have taken sarafina to the vet and she's had her shots and has been spayed. The vet says she's maybe a year old, she's very petite.She is very tidy, she keeps her food in the bowl and cleans up after the kittens if they make a mess with their food, paws at the litter and sweeps it back towards the litter box if it gets kicked out. She really needs a good home, she is a great cat!

Story
Nala is a sweet, loveable and friendly cat- she loves everyone who comes in your home. She has always been my son's cat, but he is moving into a new apartment with a new roommate so a cat is not an option. Ordinarily, we would bring her to our home, but our dogs are too spazzy. She needs a good home with someone's who will love her as much as my son will miss her.
