Our lovable girl Cricket…, with the big personality !!
She is very affectionate, friendly, full of spunk, and also quite playful. Cricket is a little smarty-pants too, a very alert and intelligent kitty. She loves to talk to you, and tell you what’s on her mind! She enjoys chasing little bouncy balls, and then will jump into a cat tree and play a game, “catch me if you can, come pet me, while I squirm around happy as a clam, just soaking up your love & attention." She can be a little rascal at times, but in a cute way. Cricket has a sleek athletic body, like a mini panther, with her shiny & silky black colored fur. She does fine with other cats, but she loves to be No. 1. However, she will settle in, just as she has with her fellow felines at our rescue. Cricket is spayed, healthy, current on vaccines, and microchipped.

It seems clear to us that they would do best as an ongoing twosome. They are the best of friends and bring out the best in one another.

Adorable! Bristol is a sweet, cute buff-colored orange tabby. He is curious, alert, and very playful! Might be a bit shy at first, but will come around quickly and be quite friendly. He isn't an immediate cuddler, but really likes to be pet and brushed. He races up and down the staircase, feet barely touching the floor, and launches himself across the living room to land on the red cushion in front of the picture window, where he enjoys watching the squirrel and bird show. Bristol learns quickly and is often ready to try new things. He loves his little torbie sister, London (aka Londi) and has eyes only for her, even if she growls when he plays too vigorously. However, she is an amazing huntress! Ever since she was a kitten she would attack that feather wand with gusto. She joins her brother in excursions throughout the condo, stalking the occasional insect unfortunate enough to enter, and engaging in madcap daily chases up and down the hallway. She loves to find high perches for safe lookouts and private naps. It will take her a few months to get acclimated, but they both rely on each other.
Bristol demands first dibs on attention, toys and treats, then she strategically comes to her fosters later for some play and treats on her own time, while he naps. She does this subtly, and always at arm's length, by approaching silently and placing herself nearby. Londi is willing to sniff the backs of their hands briefly, by way of acknowledgment, and they regularly exchange "kitty kisses" across the room.
She has recently taken to sleeping in body-open positions, rather than staying tightly curled up and watchful. Foster dad sometimes is even able to touch her neck surreptitiously, while handing her treats. Otherwise, Londi is still easily spooked by physical motion that is fast, unexpected, or too close for comfort.

Do you love the Siamese breed, with their stunning blue eyes? Or do you just want a big boy who loves the simple things in life--getting pet, napping, basking in a sunny window, but who also has a playful streak? Then Simon is the cat for you! (Yes, this big boy is playful, perhaps catching up on the kittenhood that he never had, being abandoned at a very young age to the streets). He's very trusting of people and somewhat of a big baby! He is FIV+ but needs no meds, a condition easily managed as long as he is kept indoors. Simon would make a wonderful pet for almost any adult or maybe with very gentle, older children, but he must be your only cat! Seal Point Siamese cats have very dark, almost black, seal-brown points, with facial mask, ears, tail, paws, nose leather and paw pads all in the same dark brown color--spectacular!

Quote from one of our amazing socializers:
My special little loves, inseparable little loves. I have noticed that both Raven and Blinky are out now all the time, searching for me and stay by my side. Blinky loves to follow me around and now her boyfriend Raven is doing the same thing and I can fully pet him now. He seems to follow the lead of his special lady friend. Still a little shy to new people, but Raven loves to play with a feather wand or string toys with feathers on it. My little Blinky just wants to follow me wherever I go, with her tiny meow. I don’t think I’ve even heard Raven meow yet. They are so sweet to watch. These two little kitties will add the perfect “Chi” to their new family, preferably a more quiet family or senior. (Chi is the balance of negative & positive forms in the body and believed to benefit good health.)

Two sweet peas in a pod. Rescued together, they are inseparable little loves. They will bring somebody a lot of joy and happiness. Blinky is more social and loves attention and will follow you around, while Raven is a tad more shy. However, lately, he has followed his girlfriend’s lead, has come out of his shell, wanting to be pet. Raven absolutely loves to play, while Blinky would prefer to just follow you and ask for more pets. Both would be a little shy to a new home at first, but it is worth the wait, just watching these two cuties who grew up as babies, still madly in love with each other. Both have silky fur coats, but Blinky has a little petite body and little legs, while Raven is a little bigger and normal size. Both have beautiful golden eyes.
NOTE: As mentioned, both will be shy and will hide in a new environment with new people. Probably very shy. It is questionable if they would ever want to be held and cuddled, and carrier training would definitely be needed if trips to the vet are to go smoothly. Please think carefully before applying for them. An experienced adopter, with no other pets or young children, would be priority. Do watch the videos. Click here for more info about black cats. Adopting with another fur friend helps to make the new transition less scary for both. Often one of the bonded duos makes the breakthrough, then the 2nd cat will follow. When you see them starting to bond with you, it’s the best feeling in the world!!!!!!!! You never need to worry when you have to be away longer periods at a time i.e. work or events, you have peace of mind because the kitties have each other. Just provide them with a few toys, music, or animal tv, and they will be very content until you arrive home. |
From adorable baby . . .
to handsome boy!

SNOW BABY!!!
MEET HOPPER He is our shy boy, but a good boy!!!! He can be loving and will come to you once he knows you. Hopper is shy, but sweet. He gets along just fine with all our free roaming kitties. Sometimes in the beginning with a new cat, he can be a little dominant, but he loves all our cats and gets along well. As he becomes familiar to you and trusting, he will come to his name, come over for a few pets and treats. He loves hanging in his cat trees. It could take somebody being very patient for him to come around, but he has with a few of us socializers. We think he is as cute as a baby, all white seal pup!!!! Hooper has a sibling at our rescue, “Cricket,” who is all black and super spunky and friendly, and he does play with her. If you have a heart for two sweetie pies, please consider both, or just one of them. They are fine to be separated. Hopper will come neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. White goes with everything! Click on any picture to see fully. |

Lenny is quite the looker! He’s a classic tabby who adores getting his chin and neck scratched. Although he’s still somewhat shy, he has blossomed in foster care, learning to meet new people, take treats from his foster mom’s hand, and meow when he thinks it’s time for dinner. Lenny knows his name, and when he hears it, he’ll walk up and tilt his head while you talk to him. Lenny enjoys head scratches and will lean in to make sure you can find the right spot. He loves watching the world through the window, and can often be found sleeping on his perch in front of the window. Lenny is being fostered with Sneakers (see below) and Lenny looks to Sneakers for guidance in new situations. Lenny will do best with a quiet, patient, and predictable home. Once he’s settled in, though, he’ll be a loving companion.

Sneakers (nickname: Charlie Chaplin) is a friendly black cat with white socks and a tie. He enjoys chasing his foster brother Lenny, and then curling up with him to nap. Sneakers does not need constant attention, but does enjoy being brushed or napping on his people’s laps. Sneakers was rescued from a life outdoors and although he appreciates his home, he does occasionally try to get outside again. He is being fostered with Lenny (see just above) and he and Lenny spend their days together, napping together, birdwatching together, and lining up together at meal time. Sneakers is okay with other cats as long as he has enough space to himself (Lenny is the exception) and he is cautious with new people. If you’re looking for a gentle giant with a big purr, Sneakers is your guy.
BEST IN BLACK!
Black and dark tortoiseshell cats are often hard to place and are adopted half as often as others because they don’t “show well.” People tend to pass them by at adoption events. Please consider adopting a black cat--we have some of the sweetest ones you’ll find, both young and older.
And, if you're still not convinced, check this out . . .
