Dobby is a 4 year old Male Calico, he is black and white with Green eye's, he's such character I've never met a cat with his personality, he's also very loving and just so cute. he's 100% an indoor cat and refuses to go outside. I ended up getting Dobby from a friend which they could't have him due to Landlord not allowing pets, and as much as l love him I unfortunately have to find him a new home due to my sons asthma and allergies. I have 2 Guinea pigs and he gets along with them great.

My name is Lady Sushi and I am a beautiful Calico girl who is about 7 months old and I'm looking for a wonderful home. Being a little older as a kitten means that I have gotten all the crazy kitten antics out of my system.  I am ready to become the elegant Calico lady that God created me to become.  I have a sister Dot who is beautiful too, just in case you might be looking for a pair of really pretty girls to adopt.  We don’t need to go together, but it would be nice.If you are looking for a beautiful cat or two please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 7, 2024, 10:11 pm

Tivali. ...Tee-vah-lee! The name alone rolls off the tongue.  Meaning divine, or gift of god, that certainly describes this darling kitten.  This petite little Tabico, (tabby and calico mix) has striking markings.  Tivali has tabby stripes overlaying some of her calico coloring, which are highlighted by her beautiful snow white fur.  And then you see that face, with those green eyes, and dotted by a pink little nose.  Your heart will start to melt!  We estimate her birthday as August 1, but you would not know it from her size.  She is a tiny little lady, with an immediate affection for her foster.  Tivali lights up when she is greeted with cuddling arms and a gentle touch,  Her motor comes on immediately.  She is a little purr-ball.  But like most kittens in a new place, she can startle easily.  Who doesn’t?  Tivali likes to find her little space where she feels safe.  Again, who doesn’t?  But this love comes right out to get some head scratches, and to play with that funny little mouse.  And that ball that is trapped in the ring - ‘how do I get that out’, she asks herself.  You can watch her bat that ball around and around!  She attracts attention from the four other fosters in the room, all of different ages.  Tivali holds her own, with maybe an occasional fuss, which is quickly resolved.  She has already made friends with another kitten her size, and there are sure to be hours of chasing, tower climbing, and foster loving to come.  Unless you grab her up first.  She is soon to melt someone’s heart.  Let Tivali be your gift to yourself.  How simply divine that would be!  If you are interested in this little love, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com, and be sure to mention where you live, city and state.  December 16, 2024, 8:11 pm

Her incontinence is now manageable with the help of a diaper, and she has adapted to her new circumstances with grace and determination. Midnight (4 years old) is now ready for her next chapter, a loving home where she can receive the care and attention she deserves.
