Meet the fabulous brothers Trout, Halibut, and Marlin. Two beautiful white kitties and an adorable orange boy that are all polydactyl! These playful, affectionate siblings brighten and enliven any home they enter.
Although cautious when meeting new people, with a little patience Trout opens up into a very affectionate, playful little guy whose squeaky meows are reminiscent of a bird's chirping. Trout loves chasing things, pets, and belly rubs, and gives little pleased love nibbles when he's really getting into the petting zone.
With his almost cartoonishly-cute face, Halibut's very presence has been known to brighten the day of everyone around him. Like his brother, Halibut loves flopping on his back for some belly rubs. He also enjoys playing fetch, and play-fighting with his brothers. Halibut is a dedicated snuggler, either with humans or with cats.
Small but mighty, Marlin is an expressive fella. He will patiently and at length explain, through his chirps and squeaks, that his next meal or snack has yet to be delivered, although he is aware his people are doing their best and doesn't judge. Being polydactyl, he loves using those extra toes in his frequent bouts with the rainbow fleece wand or his favorite mouse toy. He’s less likely to snuggle with his brothers than they are with one another, often preferring human company.
Trout, Halibut, and Marlin are an adorable trio that, between the three of them, comprise pretty much everything you'd want in a cat. Together, they form their own little society, and they welcome people who'd like to join them, once they've made it through the interview process with Trout. They are all currently on a special diet to keep them healthy and happy.
These youngsters were all born with FeLV, feline leukemia, which is a virus that attacks the cat's immune system. It is not a form of cancer. Cats with FeLV live normal, happy lives but have a shorter average lifespan than cats without the virus. Because of this disease, these cats must be isolated from cats without the disease, and should be kept indoors for their own health (and to prevent exposing other cats in the area). We’d love for these boys to get adopted together, in pairs, or to home with another FeLV positive cat.
Cat Town will cover medically-necessary care related to the disease through our “In It For Life” program, up to $500 per year per cat, to help these little ones live out their days in a loving home.
Trout, Halibut, and Marlin are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV. They are FeLV positive. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form .
