Story
Hi, my name is Sprink. I was rescued in the Winter when I was found outside, freezing. I am very playful. I love catnip, wand toys, and especially my laser toy. I am relaxing in this video when I notice another kitty coming to my door. I am a loving, affectionate guy who likes to give little cat nips here and there. I need a family who will be ok with that and know that I am just being playful. I am a very young guy, still growing up. I will make you laugh with my silliness and melt your heart with my sweet eyes. If you would like to make me a permanent part of your family, please send an email at fanabalasanctuary@gmail.com.

Story
Hi, We are Sage (black/white), and Sly (brown tabby). We met each other in our foster home and have become best friends. We are both very sweet and funny. Our foster mom says that Sage is quiet and kind, and that Sly is very silly and likes to be a part of everything. We are looking for a family that will love both of us forever. Your life will be forever happier because of us. If you would like to make us part of your family, please send an email to fanabalasanctuary@gmail.com. * Sweet Sage is FIV positive but is healthy and gets along well with other kitties.
