American Wirehair kittens & cats in Springfield, Massachusetts

This fluffy orange king is looking for his next royal court! Change has been a little tough on King Simba, so he’s feeling a bit nervous at the shelter. His previous family described him as friendly, active, playful, and affectionate. He loves to greet his people with a quiet hello, roll onto his back for pets, and zoom through the house chasing his favorite toys. King Simba has never lived with other animals, so a slow introduction to any resident pets is recommended. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion to rule your heart and home, King Simba is ready to be your loyal best friend! Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully.

Orian story was he was found on the streets wondering around. He was brought to our rescue, where we put out a plea for someone to claim Orian. Unfortunately, no one came forward, which breaks our heart, because he is friendly, and loves to be petted. So, at some point, he had an owner. In the pictures he looks very sad, do you blame him, I would be to. Orian has been around a lot of volunteers , getting his pets , and we have had no issues. We even gave Orian a nice bath! He sat there, and rolled his eyes, what I do know for sure when he was wrapped in a big towel and held he looked content. Probably hasn't felt that kind of love in a long time If you have other pets, he would be fine with them with the right introductions, our moto slow and steady wins the race!!! We are not sure how long he was outside to fend for himself, so beware that he might want to hog all the food when you place it down, because living outside they have to fend for themselves. So, when they find a meal, they will eat as much as possible, because they don't know when their next meal will come up. Let's put a happy face on Orian, and let's get him what he deserves a place to call home

We do not have any history on this kitten’s previous life or experiences. She was found with her mom and sister walking on the side of the road. Since they are so young, they would likely do well in any type of home. They should be introduced slowly to any resident animals in your house.
