Calico kittens & cats in Mountain View, California

Tai is friendly and cuddly. She doesn't like to get picked up but does like to sit on people's lap or belly. She likes belly rubs, neck/head/ear work, and back scratching - she likes petting just about everywhere reasonable. She does her own thing and sleeps in the sun during the day, does meow lightly for lunch/dinner, and is very quick to cuddle in bed at night. Tai does do laser, string, and mouse/self play when she's safely alone (from her brother cat, see below) and explores and moves well. I think she's probably fine with another animals that don't attack her - she hisses at her brother cat (because he tackles her) but also cleans him at night. Sometimes her lower lip is pouty and it looks really funny. To summarize, her brother cat is constantly harrasing her. Since Tai is the most normal and unambiguously cuddly of the two I figure it'd be easier to find a safe home for her. Tai and Henri were sister/brother cats trapped for spay/neuter & vet care in South Brooklyn in late 2016. I adoped both of them from a animal rescue group in the beginning of 2017, and they've been living indoors with me ever since. Tai's brother cat is a bit larger and has a very active personality. He loves to chase and tackle her. I can't seem to tire him out, a few hours after play he'll go back to stalking her. This has lead to her avoiding the litter box and peeing in unfortunate places. I recently took them to the vet again, and they didn't find a UTI but agree that it sounds like it's the brother cat that's the problem. The vet has suggested behavioural counseling and psychiatric meds for the brother, but I don't want to go down that road. This has been going on too long, and Tai deserves a safe home. Tai needs to not be attacked or stalked by other animals. I think she'd do okay with other animals that don't pounce on her, except that she *loves* to watch birds with obviously murderous intent, so keep her away from them. Tai can be fairly independent, she'll usually sit in the window most of the day unless she's waiting for an offered hand for scrtiches or for food/treats. She's smart and I did teach her to hit pingpong balls for treats. Tai has had all the vaccines that the vet offered, and I believe she's not positive for FIV (I have her record at home but I'm 99% sure she isn't positive for anything like that). She was overweight about 6 months ago, but most recently she was on target for weight. She has had some FORL tooth reabsorbtion lesions. The vet said that's not necessary to deal with (since it wasn't affecting her behavior at all) but since I was trying to find her a new home I recently opted for some optional surgery and teeth cleaning to help with that. She wasn't terribly difficult to administer antibiotics to with a syringe, she's wiggly but not too bad. She has had a UTI in the past when things were really stressful around the apartment, so I make sure to put a tablespoon or two of water onto her food to make sure she's hydrated. All in all, she doesn't have any outstanding health issues except for the FORL, but that's not something that my vet said was necessary to deal with. Tai is currently living in Mountain View, CA 94040 More information & application [ts=1741618976&src=aap]

Destiny is a good cat we found her at our old apartment complex I think somebody left her behind I say she is probably about 9 or 10 years old...very chill actually but I am moving in with my girlfriend again and we have dogs there and other cats. She stays indoors or has with us for the last 8 years although she was an outdoor cat before.

Meet Ponyo, a lovable orange tabby who found his way into our hearts when he was discovered under a truck as a tiny kitten. Since then, we have provided him with a caring home and nurtured him into the well-behaved cat he is today. Ponyo is a delightful companion, effortlessly adapting to human interaction and getting along harmoniously with other cats and dogs. His open-mindedness extends to his diet, being unfussy about food, and he has impeccable litter training. This agile and athletic cat is in excellent health, maintaining his fitness without being overly indulgent in meals. Not only does Ponyo refrain from scratching furniture, but he also exclusively uses designated cat scratching items. He has never caused any damage to household items and is warmly embraced by everyone in the home. While Ponyp may initially show a bit of shyness and insecurity when introduced to a new environment, with patient care and companionship, he quickly reverts to his normal, affectionate self.
