As soon as she gets some affection, she starts purring instantly! She’s the perfect cuddle buddy, always happy to find a warm, quiet spot to curl up in after a long day of kitten-watching.

After living in a garage with her mom until she was weaned, she was trapped and brought inside along with her siblings and mother.  Mini is the smallest, and smartest of the litter! Named “Mini” as short for “Mini-me”, she is the spitting image of her wily mother. Mini was trapped last, and yet was the first to figure out how to escape. Her siblings watched her pinpoint the weak point in their cage just seconds after being placed inside, when they hadn’t been able to find it for over 24 hours.  Although very shy and prone to hiding, Mini loves to play. Her bigger siblings often steal the toys from her, but when she gets the chance she loves to chase balls at top speed and pounce on toys. You’ll often find her gazing out the window or tucked into a tiny hidden spot. Convince this kitty there’s nothing to fear and you’ll have the cutest little trickster you could find. Mini is from a stray surrender with 5 siblings. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.

Don't let my cute face fool you, I am an independent lady. I don't need anyone but feline friends. Ok so maybe I kinda might like you a little when your dishing out that canned food, brushing me, but that is it! And maybe I might like you if you have a toy mouse for me or if you are holding that thing that controls the red dot. But only then! I may also like you a little if you just happen to have some catnip but then I draw the line. If you think you can handle that then maybe just maybe someday we could be great friends but for now I need someone who can be understanding and patient. Humans weren't always so great to me. It's not my fault. I still deserve a chance. I personally think any human would be lucky to have a kitty as cute as me but I may be a bit bias ;) Date of birth (estimated): 12/6/18 Good with Dogs: Unknown Good with Cats: Yes House Trained: Yes Adoption Fee: $90 Submit an application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat I live at the Sanctuary.

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am a sweet, snuggly, little girl who loves to love. I didn't get treated the best early in life. Because of this I had to have all my teeth removed. It's no so bad since I get to eat all canned food now. Yum! I get along with other kitty friends, but I absolutely love people. I would love to have a home where people have the time to give me affection and don't mind if I sit on their lap. I have times where I am independent but I do really love affection. If you think I might be the right fit for you fill out an adoption application and maybe we can meet! Adoption Fee $140 Apply Online: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat *Olivia does have reactions to vaccines so her new family will need to be prepared to make sure their vet is aware, and can give preventative medications before any new vaccines*

Hi! My name is Laverne. I am soft as a bunny but also as shy as one. I take quite awhile to warm up to new people but once I do, everyone says I am so funny. I will talk ever so softly to get your attention at which point I expect should rubs. yes shoulder rubs. I might stay awhile but then I will scamper away. My return will likely be food dependent. I really do need to have another cat friend as I tend to enjoy a confident feline companion. I didn't have the best start in life but I am ready for someone to pick me and show me what a good life in a real home could be like.
