Story
Hello, I am Violet, and am a bit shy at 4 months but lots of fun. Everyone here wants to play with me because they know I have many games. You should see how high I jump with my foster brother. I'm very brave around my animal friends because i like to initiate games. I've learned how to not use my claws when playing. I love blankets so I can make biscuits. Everyone says I am pretty but I don't see it in my pictures perhaps it's because my eyes look like I have makeup on them.

Story
Hi. I'm Spice a wonderful orange tabby with some orange antics like chasing my tail but I don't cause trouble because I am just so happy to have a home. I love to play with other kittens and my kids here and will play gently without using my claws. I sure enjoy being cuddled near your neck so you can whisper love things in my ear. I love being pet on my nose and under my neck best. I'm the best valentine you will ever have. I look forward to meeting you.

Story
Ghost is a real love bug. He loves to snuggle and play fetch, but I believe that he needs to be an only pet. I got him from a person online rehoming because he didn't get along with a bunny that they have. Turns out that he doesn't get along with my older cat either. He's litter trained and neutered.

Story
Bebe was adopted from a shelter and is a very loving cat. He likes to go outside but is primarily an indoor cat. He is approximately 4-5 years old and is full of life. He can be vocal and likes to express himself using his deep meows. He is very active and has a wonderful personality. He enjoys affection and company. He is playful with my other cat and should not have a problem with bonding. He can be needy but he is well trained and easy going. Being that he comes from a shelter, he can take awhile to warm up to new people. However, once he trusts you, he will be extremely friendly. His loyalty knows no bounds and he deserves a loving home.

Story
Pibble is a playful, energetic little sweetheart with a warm, loving spirit and a heart full of affection. He has plenty of kitten energy and loves to play, explore, and tumble around, especially with his brother Milo, to whom he is very closely bonded. What truly sets Pibble apart is his gentle, affectionate nature. He loves being near his people and is happiest when he can curl up close or follow you from room to room. Pibble is wonderfully social and gets along great with other cats, including older cats, making him a lovely fit for a multi-cat home. Pibble and Milo bring out the best in each other and are most content together. They balance playful chaos with sweet companionship and share a strong bond that is a joy to watch. Pibble just turned 12 weeks old and is looking for a forever home with his brother Milo, a home ready for double the love, energy, and kitten magic.
