Hi, my name is Howie! I was adopted with my brother, Terry, when we were baby kittens. Unfortunately, we were returned to Pippi's Place. Our human brother developed really bad allergies to us. He had to start using something called an "inhaler"; that doesn't sound like fun at all. Our humans tried to do everything they could to keep us because they loved us so much but nothing worked. Terry has already gone home. Now it is my turn and I am so excited! What do you need to know about me? Well, I really like sleeping on the bed with foster mom at night. When she pats the bed and says "up", I jump right up there for a belly rub (another one of my favorite things...please note that head scratches are welcome as well). I have discovered that burrowing under the covers can be quite fun! I try to be helpful by being the best alarm clock ever! I crawl up on her stomach, give her some gentle head butts, and then make soft biscuits on her chest. I figure that is much better than that crazy loud noise she used to wake up to in the morning. She can thank me for being so considerate with extra treats...or CATNIP, my FAVORITE thing! ;) During the day, I check on foster mom by following her sometimes when she goes to another room. I am the perfect blend of affectionate and independent. It is cool if I just need to play on my own. You never have to worry about me getting to far away because I come to foster mom just like a doggy when she calls me. Those little plastic balls are my favorite things! Foster mom and I like to play with the wand toy together so I can jump up high and pounce on it. Do you want to hear the absolute coolest thing? I LOVE MUSIC...especially those low soothing BASS tones! My foster mom sings the oldies to me sometimes using her deepest voice..."Old Man River" is our favorite. As soon as she pauses, I cock my head and SING (ok, MEOW!) right back to her! Who wouldn't love a guy who appreciates some good tunes?! Life has thrown me quite a curve ball but I am a resilient boy who is ready for a great future. Thanks for "listening" to my story. I am so excited to meet my new, forever family!

More about this rescue
Pippi’s Place Pet Rescue is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to reducing the number of unwanted cats and kittens through the support of local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs as well as placement of available felines in permanent homes.
We will rescue animals who are homeless due to owner surrender, endangered due to abandonment/neglect/abuse, and those at risk of being euthanized at area shelters.
We will place feline companions in loving homes following a comprehensive screening process which includes ensuring a good match between the animal and prospective adopter as well as educating potential adopters about the responsibilities associated with bringing a cat into their home.
All cats and kittens will be spayed or neutered, receive appropriate veterinary care including any necessary treatment, and will be placed in caring foster homes until the time of adoption.
We will work closely with local shelters and other rescue organizations to promote the importance of spaying/neutering companion animals. We will work with these agencies to develop a network of supporters and volunteers so that we may create a better world for homeless animals.
