Story
Adopted from a North Carolina cat adoption facility when 6 months old. We were told her birthday was 3/26/2017. She was put up for adoption along with 3 siblings and her tabby mother. Was told her father may have been a siamese or bombay cat. The facility required us to adopt 2 cats at once so we also adopted her brother, TanBoy. We would prefer they are both adopted by same person. They do not look alike besides matching eye color. They are from the same litter but have different fathers so they are half-siblings.She has never bit, scratched, or been aggressive to babies, toddlers, or children. Timid at first with strangers. Scared of thunder and will hide. Prefer she not to go to a home with a dog.She has been “fur-mowing” her belly for several years (not from allergies, was told by a vet that it was from boredom) and recently developed slight “cauliflower ear” on her right ear from scratching her ears with long back nails. She makes up for her looks with personality.

Story
Kiko is one half of a bonded pair, and cannot be adopted alone. Kiko is at first a very shy, and timid guy, but with the help of his extroverted best friend (pony) he warms up to new people pretty fast, usually within a week. After he’s settled in he becomes the most affectionate cat I’ve ever known, he loves chin scratches, and cuddling. He will quite often be in your lap purring away. He also often uses the most adorable trilling purr when at his happiest. Absolutely no behavioral issues, is fine with kids and dogs, mostly just indifferent and doesn’t interact with them much. Kiko and his “brother” were both born in feral cat colonies in Florida and rescued with their respective mothers and litter mates very early in their kittenhood. They were both shipped up to New Hampshire together, and most likely became bonded during the process and shelter stay.

Story
Pony is actually pretty restrained for an orange cat, that being said he is absolutely more goofy and has a more endearing personality than most cats. Pony is half of a bonded pair, and cannot not be adopted alone. He is a much more extroverted kitty than his soul mate (kiko), and will be the first to start exploring and asking for affection. Pony is a very affectionate cat but unlike his other half who is down for cuddles all the time, pony will let you know when he wants love. He is an absolute goof and thinks he’s a much smaller cat than he is which often leads to him jumping off counters and tight corners erratically😂. Pony and kiko were both born in feral colonies in Florida and rescued very young. He and kiko were shipped from Florida to New Hampshire together an most likely bonded during the trip and their time at the shelter. He is one half of a duo that has brought more joy to my life than literally anything else, and deserves a perfect forever home.

Story
Adopted from a North Carolina cat adoption facility when 6 months old. We were told his birthday was 3/26/2017. He was put up for adoption along with 3 sisters and his tabby mother. Was told his father may have been a Turkish angora cat. The facility required us to adopt 2 cats at once so we also adopted his sister, Noodle. We would prefer they are both adopted by same person. They do not look alike besides matching eye color. They are from the same litter but have different fathers so they are half-siblings.A few years ago (6+ years ago) TB had a single urine blockage incident. He had to have emergency medical care to remove crystals from his urethra. Vet dislodged blockage and he recovered with no issues. On a wet-food only diet. Dry food needs to be avoided as a preventative method.He is nice & gentle with babies, toddlers, and children. He has never bit, scratched, or been aggressive. Very friendly with strangers.We would prefer he not to go to a home with a dog.
