Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Smithville, Tennessee

-

Hi, I'm Gladis. The vet said I had been outside a long time and when my fosters got me initially, I was so thin I couldn't get the dental surgery I needed. I did get healthier and had 7 teeth removed, one very abscessed (even though I didn't have many teeth to start with). My mouth feels so much better now! I have been able to expand beyond the pate cat food to a variety of dry foods and kitty snacks (btw, I LOVE those). Now that I feel better, I want to eat different foods all the time. My fosters say I'm too picky now; I think I deserve some pampering. I'm very old, very resilient and would like a quiet home where I can be loved for who I am despite my special needs. I always poop in the litterbox, but my aim for pee isn't always good. Sometimes I forget to squat and sometimes I have just my front feet in. My fosters put puppy pads around my litterbox -they aren't sure if I do this because I was declawed or am just ancient. They did find a special litter for me that is made out of grass. I am a love bug. I liked to be carried around but I growl at the other cats at my fosters so I would likely do best as the only cat.

Hi, I am looking for a foster or a forever home! I've had a rough start initially my back legs didn't work so well but no problems now! I did lose my tail and I still have some issues where I need a kitty diaper. I am just the sweetest boy and I LOVE to play!

Nova and Mika – available together! Hi, my name is Nova and my sister Mika and I are looking for our person. They should have some experience socializing and want a little bit of a project. When we got to our fosters, we were hissy, pissy, scared kittens. We have both become more comfortable with our fosters, but I am definitely less confident than my sister. I still sometimes run away when my foster offers a scratch but, I am sticking around more as I see how good it feels. Recently, we got a crinkly tube to play in and I really like when I think there is something underneath it. I’m also very curious about who the cats are on the other side of the door and I talk to them. Our fosters can’t pick us up yet, but they are working on it. If you want the satisfaction of earning our love and trust, please apply but we do need to stick together. p.s. – I love churu cat treats a LOT.

Mika and Nova -available together! Hi, my name is Mika and my brother Nova and I are looking for our person. They should have some experience socializing and want a little bit of a project. When we got to our fosters, we were hissy, pissy, scared kittens. We have both gained more confidence and enjoy playing with our fosters with a toy on a string. My brother is the more shy of the two of us and is just now starting to like getting pets. I am a bit obnoxious and LOVE to be petted and I am a little purr machine. Sometimes I get a little over stimulated and may play bite and smack you with a paw but no claws and no broken skin. Our fosters can’t pick us up yet, but they are working on it. If you want the satisfaction of earning our love and trust, please apply but we do need to stick together.
