Story
Hopscotch 🧡🐾 Orange Tabby Boy Hopscotch is a curious little orange tabby who marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s very much an independent toddler type — happy to explore, play, and observe the world on his own terms — but every day he’s showing more of his sweet personality as he comes out of his shell. Hopscotch enjoys playing with his foster siblings and would truly thrive in a home with another friendly kitty to show him the ropes and keep him company. While he’s not a fan of being picked up, he’s learning to trust and will come to you when he’s ready for pets, making those moments extra special. When he’s not batting toys around or tucked away in his favorite kitty house, you can find Hopscotch eagerly awaiting the best parts of the day: breakfast, snack, and dinner (food is very serious business for this guy 😄). Hopscotch is perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with independence, a gentle heart, and a playful spirit — and who understands that the best relationships grow with patience and time. If you’re looking to add a thoughtful, playful companion to a cat-friendly home, Hopscotch may be the perfect fit. 🧡

Story
🦦🐾 Meet Otter Take Me Home — But You Can Call Him Otter 🐾🦦 Once upon a litter, there was a tiny black kitten who started life as the runt — but don’t let that fool you. Otter Take Me Home, lovingly called Otter, has proven that a little TLC goes a long way. With good care and lots of love, he’s quickly caught up with his siblings and is now right in the middle of all the fun. Otter is playful, adventurous, and always ready for action. He loves to wrestle and romp with his siblings and can often be found leading the charge into the next great kitten adventure. Brave and curious, he’s a natural explorer who isn’t afraid to check out new places, new friends, or even the resident dog. When playtime winds down, Otter switches gears into full cuddle mode. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who loves to snuggle up and purr — the perfect combination of fun and comfort. Otter gets along well with other cats, doesn’t mind dogs, and would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a confident, loving companion. If you’re ready for a little adventure, a lot of love, and a kitten who lives up to his name… Otter Take Me Home is ready to go with you. 💕🐾

But just like his namesake, Bubby is also wonderfully soft and sweet. When playtime winds down, he’s happy to settle in for cuddles, soaking up affection and purring contentedly.

Story
🐾 **Meet Mother Goose: A Tale of Whiskers and Wonder** Once upon a time, on a warm Texas morn, A dear little cat was weary and worn. She wandered the streets, round San Antonio town, With a belly quite round and her spirits down. But lo! Kind hearts at Charming Pet came near, Gave her shelter and love, wiped away every tear. 'Twas there she gave birth to her sweet kitten crew, And raised them with grace as good mothers do. Now her tale takes a turn, a new chapter awaits— No more bustling nursery, no baby debates. At just 2 or 3, she’s full of delight, With a sunny-day nap and cuddles at night. She’s gentle, she’s kind, a heart full of cheer, And not at all picky when it’s dinnertime, dear. Playful and warm, with a charm so divine, She’ll curl at your feet and make your life shine. So if you’ve a home where a queen might repose, Mother Goose will gift you love that overflows. Her nest is now empty, her job is complete— She’s looking for you, to make her life sweet. 📜 Adopt Mother Goose, and let your story begin.
