Story
Berlioz was born on May 23rd, 2026 along with four other siblings. He is spunky, adventurous and always down to wrestle. Berlioz will stay with me until he is at least 7 weeks old (07/11/2026). Berlioz and his litter mates are with their mom inside the "kitten nursery" (aka the laundry room).Berlioz and his litter mates enjoy each other's company and play often. The kittens are already climbing the cat tree, playing with their toys and getting into mischief. The kittens are eating dry and wet food. The kittens are also using the litter box on their own.I am wanting Berlioz and the other kittens to go to a loving home who will be responsible to have them spayed/neutered.

Story
Toulouse was born on May 23rd, 2026 along with four other siblings. He is the more laid back one of the bunch but do not doubt his curiosity. Toulouse will stay with me until he is at least 7 weeks old (07/11/2026). Toulouse and his litter mates are with their mom inside the "kitten nursery" (aka laundry room). Toulouse and his siblings love climbing the cat tree and playing with their toys. The kittens are litter box trained and eating dry/wet food. I have introduced the kittens to my dogs as well.I am wanting Toulouse and the other kittens to go to a loving home who will be responsible to have them spayed/neutered.

Story
🛠️ Meet Blinker Fluid! 🐈 Yep… his name is Blinker Fluid, and he’s got quite the origin story. This handsome little guy was discovered tucked away inside the engine of a car that rolled into a mechanic shop. After being rescued, he decided he wasn’t quite ready to punch out and spent an entire week evading capture while secretly running quality control around the shop. Eventually, he was safely trapped and brought into foster care, where he’s now enjoying his well-earned retirement. Estimated to be around 1 year old, Blinker is an incredibly sweet boy who can be a little shy at first, but he’s easily bribed with a Churu and a few good butt scratches. Once you’ve earned his trust, he’ll happily promote you to his favorite human. Every day he comes a little further out of his shell, gaining confidence and fully embracing the retired life. Watching him realize that people, cozy beds, and regular meals are here to stay has been one of the sweetest parts of his journey. He’s officially hung up his work boots and traded late nights in the garage for soft beds, full food bowls, and a stylish blue collar. Turns out the luxury lifestyle suits him just fine! You might notice he has a few factory-installed dings and scratches from his years working in the “shop,” but don’t worry—they just give him a little extra character. Think of them as proof he’s a certified pre-owned model that’s already passed inspection and is ready for many miles of purrs, biscuits, and naps. Blinker has been calm, curious, and respectful around calm dogs. While he hasn’t officially been cat tested yet, we suspect he’ll do well with other feline friends given a slow, proper introduction. He’s up to date on his vaccines, microchipped, and is scheduled to be neutered on 7/22/26, after which he’ll be ready to cruise into his forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick who’s ready to leave the mechanic life behind and become your full-time couch supervisor, Blinker Fluid is ready to clock out for good. 🩵

Story
I got tom and Jerry about almost a year ago, unfortunately due to my family’s busy schedules we aren’t able to give them the attention they both deserve. I got both of them last year August at first they did not like one another but they grew with each other so I would prefer for them to stay together. Tom is the orange cat with half a tail and Jerry is the tuxedo cat
