Story
Say "Hi!" to Cardboard Kitty! Cardboard is an handsome upscale boy, he likes his litter box super clean and a Salmon diet. Cardboard, a.k.a. "CardiB" or "CB", is about months old. He is neutered and up to date on shots. CardiB takes his of time to getting used to new cats and people but will melt in your arms once you 're his friend. His favorite toy is a wand with a feather which ignites his playful spirit instantly. CardiB is searching for someone to love, someone who will provide for him and cherish him. Cardi B came to us after being found along a roadside as a very young kitten and didn't do well in a home that had six large dogs. The stress created physical ramifications and he needed time to recover. He's still pretty shy and will need a home that offers safety peace and quiet, it takes him time to adjust to new people and cats, but once he does he melts into your arms and loves cuddles and attention. He would do best in a home without dogs or little kids.

Story
Please meet Javi (pronounced HAVEY), a handsome, social and friendly kitten with short hair, black and white (not really a Tuxedo) markings and striking green eyes.. This poor youngster was found injured along a roadside. We suspect taht he was likely dumped (or tossed out of a moving vehicle for sport), then attacked by something like a dog, large male cat or other predator. He sustained an ear/head injury, was taken to a veterinarian, and is expected to make a full recovery ~ although his ear may always be off-kilter.. He's already received one set of kitten shots, been treated for parasites, and tested negative for FIV/FeLeuk. After his recovery (which will be soon), he will receive the rest of his vaccines. Then, he will be ready to move to his new forever home that will be SAFE. SPCHS will provide a voucher for him to be neutered and microchipped when he is old enough. He is cautious, but playful, friendly and adjusting well to the other cats and dogs in his foster home. He has good litter box manners.

Story
Introducing Dorito! A superb balance of playfulness and affection, this orange tabby is a beautifully blended purrachine! - More pictures (and videos!) of Dorito: https://bit.ly/KyFosterKittens DORITO'S STORY: Dorito and his sibling, Cheeto, were left abandoned. They were sick and had evidence of abuse. However, despite his unspeakable trauma, Dorito has overcome and has chosen to trust and love people. He's amazing! DORITO'S PERSONALITY: Dorito was unsure about people at first, but after a few Churu treats and play therapy sessions, this happy marmalade tabby comes chirping over to say hello when you walk in the door. You can hear his telltale purr like a revving engine, enthusiastically rumbling at a decibel you can hear across the room. He is a handsome happy dude! Dorito is chatty, talking to you and including you in the conversation. Dorito has the "Mackerel" orange tabby patterning we all know and adore. And he has that famous "orange cat energy" to match his ginger coat! He loves his foster siblings and will thrive best in a home with a feline sibling to dote upon and snuggle! As handsome as he is sweet, this tangerine tabby is sure to win your heart! He will be neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped by 7/15/24. He tested negative for FIV and FeLv. If you would like to meet him, please submit your application! DORITO FACTS: - Demeanor: snuggly, purring, playful, curious - Favorite Toys: feather toys, string toys, cat trees, catnip stuffed mice - Cats: Yes - Dogs: Unknown - Adjustment Needs: Normal/standard - Food: not picky - Litter Box: No issues - Claws: Yes - Destructive: No

I am quite the inquisitive, playful kitten. I may run around the house at all hours, climb your drapes, and knock things over, but that is only because I am full of energy and curiosity. With love and patience, I'll grow up to be a faithful feline and love you forever!
