These adorable kittens were born in early September. The mama is a community cat that was abandoned by her owner. Both are torties, the calico kitten has been adopted. We believe they are female but we are not sure. They began ans outdoor cats but they are staying at a neighbor’s spare room while we try to re-home them.

Story
she’s definitely a cat with a personality. she’d be better in a home without any other pets. she likes the spotlight, it’s warm. she’s got a sore on her face and some hair loss that’s from itching because of fleas. i’m moving back home so i just don’t have the means to care for her and honestly i don’t think she’s happy with me anymore. i want her in a home that will love her perching on their shoulder and her dribbles of drools when you love on her. she’s a very good kitty so i hope you can find her a home just as good :)

Story
Squeaks is a beautiful orange tabby male who was born around Jan 2023. He was found with a wound on his tummy which required surgery and brought into a foster home. Squeaks was born outdoors and is shy with new folks. He lives with his foster mom and dad and their two cats. He is devoted to his foster parents. Squeaks follows them around and is a real lap cat. He is playful and loving. He loves to play with the other two cats in the household. He likes toys and would do well with any family who puts in time to gain his trust. Orange cats are thought to be friendlier and more affectionate than other cats. They tend to be snuggly. Some orange tabbies are so affectionate that they are often cat-egorized as “velcro” kitties. **Adoption fee of $140 includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org
