Story

Devi is the cuddlebug of her litter, a sweet tortoiseshell girl. While she loves to play, especially with her bolder sister Dora, her first priority is always a cuddle and nap in your lap. Her big purr will put you in the mood for a nap too! Dora and Devi are a wonderfully complementary pair. While both are fun-loving and affectionate, Dora will always want a play session before a cuddle while Devi favors a lap and a nap before some gentle playtime. As tiny newborns, Dora and Devi were hidden away on the roof of a house, under the eaves, by their mama-cat. We spent weeks trying to find these kittens, and only found them when they got big enough to come out of hiding and begin to explore the roof on their own. But they were terribly underweight because there was no food on the roof, and their mama's milk supply was inadequate for the kittens. However the upside of their roof isolation was that they were hungry enough to be very friendly to people who provided regular meals! More information & application [ts=1742050886&src=aap]

Story

Dora is a super-playful, curious and loving kitten, and a very unusual orange female. (Most orange cats are male.) Our vet named her "Dora the Explorer" upon meeting her, because she is always up for a new adventure! Dora loves to chase dangling feathers or toy mice and balls, or she will have a chase-and-wrestle with her tortoiseshell sister Devi when she is not exploring. Dora and Devi are a wonderfully complementary pair. While both are fun-loving and affectionate, Dora will always want a play session before a cuddle while Devi favors a lap and a nap before playtime with you. As tiny newborns, Dora and Devi were hidden away on the roof of a house, under the eaves, by their mama-cat. We spent weeks trying to find these kittens, and only found them when they got big enough to come out of hiding and begin to explore the roof on their own. But they were terribly underweight because there was no food on the roof, so they only had their mama's milk supply, which was inadequate for kittens who should have been weaned and eating solid food weeks earlier. However the upside of their roof isolation was that they were hungry enough to be very friendly to people who provided regular meals! More information & application [ts=1742050886&src=aap]

Story

With the cutest face you’ve ever seen, Ella is a high-energy ton-of-fun in the body of a tiny ballerina. She’s as snuggly and affectionate as she is playful and she’s got a motor that just won’t stop purring. Her sister Kevyn is her best friend and playmate, and these kittens should be adopted together; this is definitely a case of two kittens being twice the fun and half the work! Ella and her sisters Kevyn and Annie were bottle babies, abandoned by their mother, a feral cat who didn't have enough milk to nurse her big litter. Their foster mom lovingly raised them, feeding them every four hours, day and night, until they were strong enough to eat on their own. So Ella and her siblings are super-loving and affection because they think humans are their mama. More information & application [ts=1742050886&src=aap]

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Fremont must have strayed from his home or been abandoned, maybe left behind when his family moved away. This kitty is extremely friendly and people-oriented, so if he was previously owned, he had no reason to be fearful of people. But when he wandered into a local business, it was clear that he was looking more for a decent meal than for human companionship, though he readily accepted both. The business owners and workers welcomed the cat, and he was offered temporary quarters in one of their cars, with clean, fluffy blankets on the seat, as you see in the pictures. Now housed with one of our foster team members, Fremont is living the life of Riley: plenty of food, plenty of affection and attention, plenty of safe indoor space to roam, plenty of toys. This kitty is ready for adoption, and would be a welcome addition to your household. Neutered, tested, microchipped, FVRCP & rabies vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms.

House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Her name, Greta, is an anagram for Great because she is! So outgoing, so playful and loves to be with people. Unlike some cats, Greta even enjoys meeting new people. If you think cats are stand-offish and independent, Greta will change your mind. This super-friendly, super-affectionate kitten has overcome a very hard start in life. She was a "surprise" kitten because she had never been seen by the kind woman who was feeding homeless cats, although other kittens that we suspect were Greta's littermates were seen and rescued early. When she was trapped she was in really terrible condition and looked quite skeletal. That was surprising because there was plenty of food in that area, so perhaps she was trapped in a shed or garage for a long-time. She was so weak that she had several infections, but those could all be treated quickly. Then it was just a matter of providing plenty of food and love. Greta responded with purrs and love and grew into a beautiful, well-muscled healthy gray and pale orange tortie girl who loves to make her people happy. Could Greta be your girl?

Story

Kevyn, a rare female creamsicle-colored kitten, will look lovingly into your eyes while she falls asleep on your lap. She got her name because for weeks we assumed she was a boy as so few orange cats are female! Kevyn’s favorite activity is watching TV cuddled up on your lap or shoulder... or just cuddling up on you. The only thing she loves as much as that is (1) playing with her sister Dasha, and (2) exploring new people, places and playthings. She’s got BOE - Big Orange Energy and so much personality! Kevyn and Dasha are the perfect pair because they keep each other happy and engaged. This adorable pair would be happiest adopted together! Kevyn and her sisters were bottle babies, abandoned by their mother, a feral cat who didn't have enough milk to nurse her big litter. Their foster mom lovingly raised them, feeding them every four hours, day and night, until they were strong enough to eat on their own. So Kevyn and her siblings are super loving and affectionate because they knew their people-mama rather than their cat-mama. More information & application [ts=1742050886&src=aap]
