Story
Tomahawk (FCID# 04/28/2025-7) is a sweet, friendly, beautiful, gray, male cat. He is extremely affectionate, playful, and cooperative with simple commands.  Tomahawk is about 1-2 years old. Tomahawk is highly active and loves to run around, He is cuddly and loves to be petted. He will be a big part of your family and heart like he is to ours.  He does not like to be caged but when brought out to run around, he is extremely playful and affectionate.  He stays with me and rubs up against my legs. With love and understanding, until he feels at home, it will be well worth the effort. He plays well with the other cats I have. Please submit our no-obligation adoption application:    https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Donna A.)  July 1, 2025, 7:19 am

They really have fun with each other!

Story
Hi!  My name is Misty, and I am about 10 weeks old as of 6/28/2025.  Do you like phone games? I do! I will always want to play games on the phone with you. I love to snuggle, and nuzzle your fingers. I make lots of biscuits in soft blankets.   I am a picky eater sometimes, so just make sure I have enough, OK? Conversely, I am also a trash panda who wants to try and steal your food.    I am super soft and loving. I have been raised with cats and small dogs and very much enjoy pouncing on them.   Misty is playing with her foster family.  Please submit our no-obligation application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .  Thank you!  (Foster:  Caroline M.)June 30, 2025, 2:42 pm
