My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Raised With Love & Lots Of Handling

Nihli (White with Bengal Tabby Saddle) - 1 Blue Eye & 1 Yellow Eye

I am the foster parent for Nihli, (White with Bengal Tabby Saddle). He is a talker and most vocal when interacting. His two eye colors are quite unique… one blue eye and one green eye! It's rare in cats. Cats with the condition heterochromia can see just fine having two different colored eyes.

https://www.cats.org.uk/cats-blog/why-do-cats-have-different-coloured-eyes#:~:text=Although%20it's%20quite%20rare%2C%20a,either%20green%2C%20brown%20or%20yellow.

His favorite playmate is his brother Bani, (Silver Bengal Tabby). They like to roughhouse and his play-energy mixes well with Bani.

Nihli is kind of like a shy child that at first meeting could hide behind the parent, but he loves to cuddle and snuggle up to people he knows. He would not be a good pick for an active home with children. He’s a big fan of his tummy rubs once he takes a liking to you.

PLEASE REPLY WITH THE "BELOW" INFORMATION WHEN YOU INQUIRE.

THE ADOPTION PROCESS: COVID and the Delta variant have changed the way we do things so the interview process starts with you replying about yourself, others in the home or others that visit regularly, current pets and about the ones that you have had in the past and where they are now. Your work schedule, and what lifestyle you plan for your pet; indoor only, indoor but allowed out sometimes, indoor / outdoor.

Your answers will give us an idea of your experience and the lifestyle of choice for your new pet.

The organization wants to get to know the potential adopter before formalizing an application because it is important to discover if the cat of interest is a good fit for you, your family, lifestyle and with any other pet family members.

More about this rescue

We adopt kittens in pairs believing all young beings should have a playmate of the same species, similar age.

Our foster parents help match the pairs of "best play buddies)

The animals are in private homes and well-loved.

All the rescue organizations are not the same. We all get them from the same places, but well-socialized kittens are not easy to come by.

We specialize in “pet-quality” cats and kittens. A pet-quality cat has had positive experiences with humans and has felt loved. Many of our kittens like to be carried and held and would make great family members.

Kittens that have not been well-socialized or handled a lot avoid people, hide and are jumpy and are often described as independent and aloof or abused.

Why do we promote our kittens in pairs?

All young animals need a playmate. They learn social skills through play-fighting. Kittens need an “equal energy” playmate to interact with. Just like kids picking friends, they pick someone who likes to do the same things. Biting and attacking ankles may be cute when a kitten is small, but a full grown cat can bite hard. Behaviors that the public dislike are created by not making the best choice for the animals. Adopting a pair of young animals that have the same energy level that were well-socialized is the best choice.
