Story
Tigger Tiger is the runt of 4 kittens born March 27, 2023, the last of the 4 to get adopted. Their mom came to my home after surviving a house fire a month prior to her delivering in my home. Tigger is very playful, acrobatic, and verbal. She knows the command, Off! Recently she was out on a trial adoption returned only after a week. The couple did not have the patience to acclimate her to their own cat, which can take several weeks for some. In my home, Tigger has not been successful engaging my own male cat in play. They do not want to play with her so she is constantly vying for my attention. Since her birth, I noticed on two separate occasions what appeared to be a mild seizure that lasts maybe 10 seconds. This has not been officially diagnosed by a vet and maybe due to eating a bug, I just do not know. She has not been sick, has a good appetite, and uses the litter box with regularity. Tigger has a ton of personality and needs to find an engaging and active person.

Luna gets along with the other cats in her cat room but can be a bit of a bully at times. Luna loves human attention! Luna is a confident, large cat and would do well in most homes. Mostly, she just wants a chance to have a home! Please visit our website https://www.lifehouse4animals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
This pretty black cat with gorgeous green eyes is Marlie. She was born in 2018.Marlie likes attention from people, but does not care much for other cats. She is separated from the rest of the cats in her age group and is always antsy to be let out; she likes to move and walk around. She likes to be petted too, but if she gets tired of it, she can have an attitude for a moment and let you know she's done. However, she is generally a very sweet and calm cat, and she will do absolutely anything for Temptation treats, her favorite thing in the world.Marlie would do best with someone who has prior cat experience and is willing to accept Marlie as she is: mostly affectionate, but with the ability to be a little contrary sometimes.

Story
This pretty tabby girl is Kammi. She was born in April 2019. She and her sister Cola were rescued by a good Samaritan. Both cats experienced some trauma as kittens and were very scared for the first few weeks after coming to Life House. However, they have both made great strides. Kammi and Cola are bonded, and have shared a cat room, just the two of them, for most of their time at Life House.Kammi is shy, but she absolutely loves being petted. As long as you are patient with her, she will open up to you and start approaching you easily. She likes to sit beside people she trusts, curling up beside them or rubbing against them sweetly. She may take longer to feel comfortable than Cola, but she is very cuddly once she trusts you; Cola will get to know you more quickly, but is more likely to play instead. They complement each other well, and they would make wonderful companions and friends for you.Kammi and Cola get along with each other well, but otherwise don't seem to like other cats. They would do best in a quieter household and with someone who has prior cat experience.

She prefers a calm, comfortable environment, with low levels of noise. However, she still enjoys human attention, and she is patient and sweet. Debby likes to be petted and brushed, and she would love most of all to curl up on a comfortable couch or chair beside you.Debby is not aggressive towards other cats, but stays to herself. She prefers the attention of humans. She would love a forever home with someone who will be patient with her and build her confidence.

Story
This soft, pretty girl is Donna. She was born in 2021.Donna is a vocal kitty and loves to start conversations with you. She will meow at you to get your attention, asking you to pet or brush her. She loves to sit by people, loves affection, and loves to curl up beside you in a seat and rest her head on your lap. She may take a moment to approach you if she doesn't know you, but she warms up quickly and will then walk right up to you, friendly and sweet.Donna also gets along well with other cats in her cat room. She tends to not play as much as some of the other cats, but none of their play bothers her. She would do well in a home as an only cat or with others.
