GENTLE, SILLY GIRL NEEDS A FAIRLY CALM HOME WITH LOTS OF LOVE, GENTLE PETTING AND PATIENT ENCOURAGEMENT TO BUILD CONFIDENCE. VERY SWEET, BUT SKITTISH. OLDER KIDS OKAY, NO TODDLERS. GOOD WITH OTHER SWEET CATS AROUND. I only know how to be a sweet, darling little girl. I'm very easy to love, so please come find me and give me some sweet talk and maybe some gentle pets! I prefer that you pet my back first, then I'll let you pet my head. Once you're in the room for a few minutes with me, I'll start to get comfortable and come over to visit. I'll come right out to see you, especially after I hear my name. I will rub against you and possibly even crawl in your lap! You'll see me start being very cute and silly as I'm so excited to get attention! I'm very skittish, but also affectionate and trying very hard to be brave, just in small doses. I hide under my blanket a lot to feel safe. It takes me a little while to get used to my new home. You'll see me start to come out a little more here and there as I explore, and try to find you! I've been loved, but not held very often, so after I'm settled, let's try that a little every day so I learn to trust you holding me. In time, I DO let you hold me! I like to find places to play hide and seek. Call me and I'll call back or peek out, and I'm always so happy when you find me! I may feel more safe if you set me up with covered bed or a blanket in a box (turned sideways) in a quiet corner in the main room, so I'm off to myself, but also with you. This can help me slowly get accustomed to everything. Try petting me often so I know you love me! I'm such a sweetie that I will LOVE it and you a little more every time! I enjoy gently playing with our wand toys! Once in a while I'll chase around a jingle ball, or play with an electronic toy that moves under a sheet. Play really helps build confidence, and after all, a silly young kitty like me should be having fun! I'm probably too nervous for most dogs, but I'm used to friendly, easy-going cats! After a few days, and a few "please be nice to me" hisses, they'll be my new friends. I will enjoy having covered beds, soft blankets on the furniture, and a cat tree with a cubbie box in the middle to lay in. I'm only a little picky about food, I prefer pate. With your help, I will someday blossom into the sweetest kitty you ever saw, that even plays for you sometimes!

**GENTLE, PATIENT CAT PEOPLE PREFERRED. LOVING AND NEARLY PERFECT, BUT NERVOUS BEING APPROACHED BY PEOPLE AND BEING HELD.** *I MAY BE SLIGHTLY IMPAIRED IN ONE EYE.* I NEED A FAIRLY CALM HOME WHERE I CAN FEEL SAFE AND LOVED, AND HAVE LOTS OF TOYS. NO TODDLERS OR YOUNG KIDS! GENTLE KIDS 8+ OKAY. LOVES AND NEEDS TO BE AROUND OTHER CATS AND TOYS! WILL DO SO MUCH BETTER WITH A FRIENDLY CAT BUDDY! NO DOGS. I'm a beautiful silvery color Tabby that has a lot of active, pretty, Oriental breed mixed in. When my litter were little babies, we got a very bad cold and it caused some of us eye problems. Maybe you noticed I am somewhat cross-eyed too. I don't know anything is wrong, so I'm just a normal, silly little kitten that wants to cuddle with cat buddies, have lots of play time, and learn to love you! I will be extremely sweet and loving once I trust you. Please be patient, I'm just starting to trust people up close, but I DO like being around you. I'M MORE CALM AND FRIENDLY WHEN YOU'RE SITTING IN THE FLOOR, OR WHEN ANOTHER CAT IS WITH US. I'm still nervous about being picked up, just be gentle, I'm getting better all the time! I'm high strung and will get squirmy pretty quickly. I will hide some for a little while, but then move from place to place, I'm too curious to stay put for long. Offer me some covered beds, an open cabinet with a bed, a box on its side with a blanket, or a nice bed instead and come visit me there, bring treats! Treats are one sure way to my heart! (Food is too!) Having a cat tunnel or pop-up tent in the room will give me a good place to hide in plain sight, and I love them too! Practice holding me for a short bit several times a day so I can see that you love me. Help me feel calm and safe, by playing and having fun then too. I LOVE PLAYING! Start gently with our wand toy to have fun together! I like chasing the electronic butterfly that spins around, and other electronic toys are great. I love my cardboard scratcher. At least one cat tree is a must-have item! I will start playing with my little toys and you'll see that I'm very, very fun to have around! I'm used to playing and snuggling to sleep with my siblings, and roommates.Or make a new cat friend that would show me around and help me feel grounded, and to have fun too! Put blankets and beds on the furniture and I will use them to take a nap, or to come sit with you. I will love being spoiled and happy with my very own wonderful forever family!

WITH A LITTLE ORIENTAL BREED APPEARANCE AND ATTITUDE, BUBBLES CAN BE VERY HAPPY AS YOUR ONLY PET GIVEN LOTS OF TOYS, PLAYTIME AND CUDDLES. BEST WITH GENTLE OLDER KIDS, NO TODDLERS. NO OTHER CATS!!! I'm very loving, fun and great company! I love hanging out with you and following you around. I'm a smart cookie and try to be very helpful with you around the house! I LOVE attention and I'm nice to pick up and cuddle, even carry around some! I might be a lap cat once in awhile, but usually don't stay still for very long. I prefer a gentle touch, so very young children will make me too nervous. I'm chatty, but have a sweet, soft voice. I like to stay busy as I'm fairly active. I can be a little bit playful, or turn it up and dive into my tunnel, scooting it across the floor chasing a little toy, or just having fun! I sure do LOVE having tunnels, more than one is fine!! My favorite is the y-shape. Long or short, straight or curved, they're all super fun! I even like pop-up cubes. I will lay quietly in my tunnel and pop out at whoever walks by, SURPRISE! Electronic toys and laser pointers are awesome for me! Your home will be 10 times more fun with me there! Leave several toys around and I'll stop to play often and entertain you. I'm fiercely independent and possessive, so I can't have cat buddies, and I don't need them, only people. I'm ready to play with you and our wand toys anytime you want! Use them around the tunnels for extra fun! I'm curious, and I like to climb, so a cat tree by a window will be perfect for me! I'm very graceful and agile as I move and jump. Be sure to give me a few treats everyday. Hold them out one at a time and I will take them right from you! If you like a cat that's smart, loving, and fun, you're in the right place!

You can tell I'm a special boy the minute you see me! I'm unique in my look and my coloring, and my personality shines like a star! I'm extremely friendly and I love being around people and getting attention. I'm good at being picked up, but not completely comfortable being held for long yet. That's an easy fix as we practice and I learn to trust you because you love me! I make pretty quick friends with other playful cats, but there's one catch. I haven't been used to playing with others since I was itty bitty, at times I can start playing a little rough since I don't know any better now. I'm so excited about playing that I'm also a little toy possessive when I'm in the zone. I'll get better at both of those things once I'm used to getting to play all the time instead of a little while everyday. I'll need to be with playful cats that are a little bigger than me. I might be able to make friends with tolerant, friendly dog. Keep in mind that I look like I could possibly grow to be a larger cat, so make sure teach me to play nice and be very loving now! I can get pretty active when I play. With all this playful energy I'll need toys around and things to do all the time. I love playing with my little toys in my kennel! I've been having lots of fun learning to play with all the toys they put out for everybody and love when they come and play with wand toys with me too! Do that often! I'm having a great time playing in the cat tunnel and popping out to play with the little toys, and chase the electronic butterfly that spins around over the toy that moves around under the sheet.(You can get that for me on Amazon) I've discovered I love working out on the cardboard scratcher too. As I get settled, I'll start to climb also. At least one cat tree at home will be needed. Having it near the window will be double the fun! I'm very food and treat oriented, so you can train me, or bribe me, with food. I will even take treats from you if you hold them out one at a time to me! In my down time, I enjoy cushy beds and blankets all around, and hanging out with you whenever I can. I'm a lively, active little guy with tons of love to share with you!

FAIRLY ACTIVE, HAPPY BOY WILL DO WELL IN MOST HOMES WITH MOST ANY FUN LOVING PEOPLE. LIKES GENTLE HANDLING, BEST WITH NO TODDLERS. SUPERVISE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN UNTIL HE SETTLES IN. SEEMS FINE WITH OTHER CATS AROUND, NOT TESTED ONE-ON-ONE, NOR WITH DOGS.I'm sweet and easy going, even though I like to stay pretty busy. I have big pumpkin colored eyes and short bristly fur, so I stand out from other cats! I'm a little bit talkative and you'll love it, because my voice is a little different and very cute! I love to be around people and I will be your little cat shadow everywhere you go. I love to play! I like playing with a few little toys, but wand toys, tunnels and the electronic toy that moves under a sheet with the butterfly flying on top (from Amazon) has been my very favorite things! My favorite place to rest here is on the little pet couch. If we don't have one of those, I love to climb, so a cat tree will do fine. I would also love a bed on the floor and blankets on the couch to sleep on too. I enjoy getting a few treats everyday, and I am very good at taking them one at a time as you hold them out for me! I'm a fun and very special BFF that will love you right from the start!

Jean showed up one my doorstep with no collar, pregnant. She was microchipped but the registered owners never responded, and I cared for Jean when she had her litter, and helped foster them until ready for adoption. All of her kittens, except one, had been adopted. We kept 1 kitten with Jean, her son ultimate. He is the larger male cat. ultimate is a 1 year and 4 months old, Jean estimated to be 2 years old. We have been caring for Jean and Ultimate but I have come to accept that they deserve better living arrangements. As is they live in an air conditioned shed, about the size of a small room. They are unable to be outside or in our home due to an aggressive dog that will not co habitate. My hope is that Jean and Ultimate can be adopted together, to live in a space bigger than a single room. They run circle in the shed, and have toys to take with them to play with. They are snuggly, friendly, playful cats. They keep me company while I work, but otherwise are alone together
