Story
Rooster was the runt of the litter and is smaller, and the cuddliest of our cats. She will come lay on my hip while i’m laying on my side with my daughter. If I try to pet her she usually lets me. She’s a sweetie and loves to run on her cat wheel and if you want it we can give it to you, it’s kinda beat up though. She was born 2/16/22. She will sleep with my 14yo daughter- but would probably stay away from toddlers. Rooster is playful and chases balls with feathers on them. She is bonded with her sister Bijoux but we are now willing to separate them to find them both homes. Rooster is skittish w/ other cats, but tolerates them, and likes to come to you (as most cats do) on her own time when she wants petting and love. We lost my FIL suddenly and MIL has to move in. We were able to get a place for mom cat to get her back later, but we have to rehome our other cats. Rooster is great at litter box, eats Costco cat food from a gravity feeder and does not overeat. We use Costco litter.

Story
Bijoux (Bee-Joo) Bijoux is kind of a jerk, if you want to cuddle her, she’s like “NO.” It’s all on her own time. She is independent. She is bonded with her sister Rooster but we are now willing to separate them to try to find them homes. I think Bijoux would do great cats, and even dogs. She’s on the large side. Bijoux loves running on her cat wheel. Bijoux means little jewel, which matches her two different colored eyes. She is great at the litter box and was born 2/16/22. She eats Costco food and uses a gravity feeder; and Costco litter. Does not overeat and no health problems. We are rehoming because my FIL passed, my MIL needs to move in with us. SIL is able to keep mom cat for us, but we had to make the sad decision to find homes our other cats. She likes looking out windows, playing with balls with feathers, making you work hard for love, and I do not think she would do well with toddlers, but she has never been around any- our kids are 13&14. She cuddles my 14 year old most.

Mila is a sweetie and if you LOVE "CHONKY" Cats......she's it !! She is mellow and loves the other cats. She likes pets and leans in for more from any human who will pay attention to her. She likes to have a hidey hole when it gets noisy, but happily comes out when all is calm. Mila will LOVE to be the Princess of her new castle. She is good with calm kids, and seemed interested and patient with one of our cat friendly dogs.Mila has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available

Story
Guayaba is the epitome of "Cat"~ she plays by her own rules and is o.k. with it !! Sometimes she is extremely affectionate, other times shyer and prefers time to herself. She is calm and gentle. She needs to be understood and find the perfect discerning cat owner, to appreciate that she's finicky and amazing.....just the way she is. Once placed in her forever home, Guayaba may show more sides to her complicated personality.

Story
Meet Silverio.This chunky boy is full of personality and a little bit of sass! Silverio has a gastrointestinal condition and requires a special hydrolyzed diet—but don’t worry, he’s so smart that he only eats his prescribed food, even if other options are available. He can be shy at first, likely due to his tummy issues, but once he trusts you, he craves love and attention. He may give small love bites when excited, but always with good intentions. Silverio needs an experienced owner who can respect his boundaries, but once you learn his favorite spots (cheeks, head, chin, and upper back—his belly is off-limits), he’ll happily relax and soak up your love. He’s an independent cat and would do best as a solo pet or in a home with just one or two other cats.Silverio is at our Punta Mita Location and can easily be flown to the nearest airport to YOU in the USA or Canada!He has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available Please send us an application at : wetnosesrescue.org/adoption-application-Cats
