Story
Here's what you need to know about me:Well hello there, I'm Astrobot-your soon-to-be cosmic companion! Sometimes I can get a tad overstimulated, but I promise it's just my enthusiasm getting the better of me! I love to play, it helps me get my energy out. When I am not wanting to play I love to be affectionate!If there are kids in my new home, I need them to be older than 6 and must meet them before going home. I'd do well with even older children since I can be a bit of a roughhouser!I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable with new people. But once I get to know them, I'm very loving. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 5.4 Age: 0yrs 10mths 2wks

An adoption counselor can tell you more.I need a slow introduction to cats. I can share my space with cats, but I'd like to get used to the idea over time.

Story
Here's what you need to know about me:Hi there! I'm Hamish, and I'll be honest - meeting new people makes me a little nervous at first. But once I feel safe and comfortable? That's when my true playful spirit comes bouncing out! You'll find me chasing toy mice across the floor, peeking around corners to surprise you with my silly antics, and claiming empty cardboard boxes as my secret hideouts. I'm looking for a patient family who understands that trust takes time to build, and a home where I can take things at my own pace and gradually show you all the love I have stored up in my little heart.I like to play rough! I need a family who will give me plenty of outlets for my energy! Toys, climbing structures, scratchers, playtime, you name it!I would prefer a home without cats. I just don't really get along with them - even if they don't mind me, I would rather not be in the same home with them.If there are kids in my new home, I need them to be at least 6 years old and would even prefer them to be older than 10.And I would need to meet them before going home.

Here's what you need to know about me:Hey there! I'm Gnome, and yes, I'm as adorable as my name suggests. I'm a bit shy at first - think of me as the introverted cat who needs a little time to warm up, but once I do, I'm all purrs and head bumps. I'd do best with a family who understands my rhythm, who can read my signals and knows when to dial back the excitement. Think of me as a cat with big emotions and an even bigger heart!If there are kids in my new home, I need them to be older than 6 and must meet them before going home.

Story
This is illumi. Both him and his sister, killua, were adopted from Vancouver animal hospital. They are both the same age, 4 going on 5.. they must go together and I do not want to separate them. He’s very clingy, once he’s attached to you he won’t leave your side. He loves to go outside and run around and come back in.. looking for someone that will take care of both of them as unfortunately my apartments won’t allow them.
