Story
Spot is a 6-month-old tuxedo male kitten that is the ringleader of mischievous activities and the most vocal when it comes to feeding time. He loves playing with any type of toy, wrestling with his fellow cats and climbing everything in sight, including the TV to get the birdies on the screen. When it comes to playing with a feather toy though he is very possessive of it and is an absolute vacuum cleaner when it comes to food and will try to steal everyone else's food. He will investigate his human counterparts but is not the biggest fan of on laying in your lap and likes his pets in short bursts so he can get back to playing or napping

Story
Brows is a 6-month-old mostly black medium hair kitten that likes his quiet time away from his brothers but will engage in play time and wrestling. He is not a fan of being pet on the back but absolutely loves his belly rubs. His favorite toys are ones that make noise, and he is possessive of them when he plays. He prefers to sleep alone on blankets and not beds, has no interest in the consumption of house plants and is a pretty quiet and chill cat. He enjoys his wet food and eats slower than everyone else. Brows is a quirky dude that would love to find his forever home!

Story
Leo is my extrovert. He is friendly, playful, affectionate, wildly curious, and loves to snuggle. He loves to work for his snacks (you throw, he catches) and just be where you are. I adopted Leo and his mama, Izzy, when he was 5 months old in August 2019. Almost 2 years later my son arrived and, sadly, Leo has never truly adapted. While he stays mostly out of reach during the day when my son is around, at night, he is quick to curl up beside me, receiving as many pets as I am willing to give, purring as loudly as can be. While outgoing and super affectionate with his person, he is not the kind of cat who will welcome a lot of attention from those not in his household, at least is my experience. I know this will be an adjustment but believe Leo will do much better in a home with no young children, with someone willing and eager to give him lots of love and snuggles, who will play with him, talk to him (yep, he's a talker), and enjoy his outgoing, affectionate nature.

Story
Meet Luna! Shes a rescue from a maintenance room of a church where she was found nursing 5 kittens amongst some concrete dust. She is a sweet little mama cat who enjoys her alone time. Although she can get along with other cats for the most part, she does seem to prefer to not be around them so she preferably should be the only animal in the household. One of our cats has had a problem of hunting Luna down throughout the house and bullying her. This has caused some issues of marking territory through peeing. When she gets a break from being hunted though, she has no issues using the litter at all. This seems to just be a problem of fear and showing territory. Luna doesnt show it too often, but she does enjoy to play here and there and would benefit from somebody who can be patient with her as she opens up. A quiet, calm home would also be preferable as Luna can be sensitive to too much chaos. Once Lunas opened up, she is quite the love bug!

Story
Izzy is independent, sweet, curious, and quietly affectionate. She does not demand attention but will gladly take pets when given with love and kindness. She's not the type to curl up in your lap but loves to be near. I often wake to find that, sometime during the night, she's joined me to sleep at the foot of the bed. On days I work from home, she often joins me in my office. She loves to nap in the sunniest place she can find, loves being brushed, loves to eat (!) and, while not the most energetic, will perk up if she spots the occasional thing (light, bug, etc) that can be chased. She also loves exploring cabinets and closets and can make herself comfortable about anywhere. I adopted Izzy and her son, Leo, when she was 13 months old in August 2019. Almost 2 years later my son arrived and, sadly, Izzy has not adapted well. She is a gentle soul and I believe will thrive in a home where her sweet and independent nature will be respected and appreciated.
