Meet the Girls

My name is Arwen. I was named after a sweet but tough princess in Lord of the Rings. My foster mom says that's just like me! I was born under a deck in June, and the family that found me was really nice and caught all of my siblings too. Originally they thought I may be feral, and I was going to be put back outside after I was spayed, so the tip of my left ear was cropped. My foster mom decided we were too nice to go back outside, so she found all of us rescue groups to help us find forever “inside” homes. I was the smallest, so she decided to foster me herself so she could be sure I'd get a really nice home who would understand that I was a bit shy and probably wouldn't like visitors trying to pet me. I have so many kitten friends to play with right now that I would not be happy to be alone. In fact I am VERY vocal about being alone. A kitten friend is a must! I am a typical kitten, I love to play with anything that moves. I love to cuddle, and in fact it is so hard for me to stop purring when you’re holding and cuddling me that the doctors say it’s really cute but it's hard for them to listen to my chest because I won't stop purring. I like other cats and kittens. I don't mind loud but polite dogs. I don't think I would like kids because they move fast and might want to chase me to pick me up. I don't like to be chased and I hide when someone does. In short, I have beautiful blue eyes, an ear that isn't pointy, I love to cuddle but not people who chase me to pick me up, I love to play, I hate to be alone and I am wonderful :)! Could you please take me home? Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt young kittens in pairs, or into a home with a playful cat. Arwen must have a playmate in her forever home…and then they can play and snuggle while you're not home. Check out our Pick A Pair page to see if one of her foster buddies are still available. They’re already great buddies who LOVE to play and cuddle together! Or, at this young age, kittens from different litters can easily be mixed ‘n matched with minimal transition time. If there is already another playful cat or kitten in your house, that would work out too…she already proved she is great at making friends! If you are only interested in adopting a single kitten, and you’re home most of the day, and able to spend interactive time with a kitten, we will consider adopting out a kitten older than 4 months of age. Each foster home knows the kitten’s personalities best, and we follow their recommendations for single placements – in Arwen’s case, she cannot be the only cat in the house. Arwen’s estimated date of birth is 6/22/15 and her adoption fee of $135 includes her vet exam, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, FIV & Feline Leukemia testing (neg), routine deworming, flea control, microchip and spay.

Bonnie comes with her own very special blanket...you don't hear that too often! When it’s time for a rest, Bonnie loves to sit on your lap, especially if her blanket is part of the equation. She has a favorite blanket that she loves to knead and suck on. This magic blanket makes her instantly relax, she starts to purr, and she is in cat-heaven! Her special blanket is hers to keep in her forever home! Bonnie is a beautiful Tortoiseshell, "Tortie" girl! She has some great markings, especially on her tummy. She loves to explore her foster home and play with her humans. When she is ready for some human loving, she will seek you out for some attention! When petting starts, she starts to purr, it's that easy! Bonnie likes to play with respectful children (as long as they don’t pick her up). She appreciates pets from the kids, and even sleeps with her 8 year old foster human. If anyone has her blanket on their lap, she will settle in :). Bonnie will need time to transition into your home, as she still has a tendency to get scared with any new situations or loud noises. If she gets startled, once she realizes everything is alright, she will come right back into the room. If you can be patient, because she is so worth it, she’s the cat for you. Although she has been in a foster home with cats and dogs, we think Bonnie would do best in a quiet home as a single cat. Bonnie's estimated date of birth is 5/1/13. Her adoption fee of $50 includes: vet exam, FeLV/FIV test (neg), distemper combo (FVRCP) vaccine, routine deworming, flea control, microchip and spay.

FRONT-PAW DECLAWED: Dutchess is royalty in the art of cuddling and affection. She came to her foster home after having minor ear surgery, even with all the medication and treatments she kept her sweet and positive attitude. Now that she has healed, she can be quite playful and fun. Her favorite place is in a lap or close to the people she likes. Dutchess will bring her cute face, sweet nature and loving attitude to your home. Since she is front-paw declawed she was once a beloved pet who is used to being cared about. She loves being brushed, was fine with taking meds and is a good eater. Dutchess gets along very well with the cats in her foster home. She would be fine being a single cat, with good human contact, or with another cat. She is a social sweetie. Dutchess’ estimated date of birth is 10/08/09 and her adoption fee of $115 includes her vet exam, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, FIV & Feline Leukemia testing (neg), routine deworming, flea control, microchip and spay.

Hi my name is Lois. My brother Tuskers and I were born in July in an abandoned house. The nice neighbors called my foster mom to say we were there and she came and rescued us from living outside. I do love my squishy bed more than that stinky basement! I am kind of a serious girl. I tend to hide the fact that I like to play with toys and the other kittens. I sneak it in when I think my foster mom isn't looking but she knows that I love the catnip mice and the wand toys! I am accustomed to polite big dogs who bark when people come over, I have not been around little kids but would probably be ok with older respectful kids who aren't going to chase me when I'm sitting quietly on the couch. I would really love to be adopted with my handsome brother but any other kitten would be ok. I would probably be really sad to be an only cat but I could learn to be one if you spend a lot of time with me. Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt young kittens in pairs, or into a home with a playful cat. Lois would love to have a playmate in her forever home…and then they can play and snuggle while you're not home. Check out our Pick A Pair page to see if her brother or other foster buddies are still available. They’re already great buddies who LOVE to play and cuddle together!

Each foster home knows the kitten’s personalities best, and we follow their recommendations for single placements. Lois’ foster mom said she feels Lois could adjust to being a solo cat if you really have the time to spend with her every day. Lois’ estimated date of birth is 7/13/15 and her adoption fee of $135 includes her vet exam, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, FIV & Feline Leukemia testing (neg), routine deworming, flea control, microchip and spay.

Lolly is a sweetheart who is really fun and loving. Her delicate looks make you think of a princess – but super playful and adventurous! She likes to play with ice cubes in a bowl of water, trying to get them out. If it’s a big enough bowl, she’ll climb right into the water! Lolly loves to chase toys around the house, sometimes picking them up and carrying them around. If another cat comes close, she growls to protect her “prey” (pretty funny from such a girly girl). When she’s feeling mellower, she jumps on your lap and absorbs all the petting and attention she can get. She is happy watching TV from her perch on your lap, playing with your toes in bed, or sleeping in your arms. She can hold her own against an adult cat, taking their swipes and still managing to steal their food. She has such a great, unique personality – combined with her looks, how could you not fall in love with her?

From Lolly: “I love my foster home, but I’m so excited to meet my own family! I will give you my whole heart forever, in exchange for your love (and ice cubes). Are you my forever family? I’ve waited so long to meet you!”
