Story
Mork is at his most comfortable and relaxed stage after he's been sleeping - early in the morning is when I get my best pets and scritches in - and during a good play session (he loves chasing after string). Mork needs a home with a little bit of space and peace, as he gets anxious around loud noises and activity, and likes to be able to hide away. He loves to look outdoors and sit at an open window. When I've had multiple people or small children in the home, Mork gets anxious and hides away. I adopted Mork almost 7 years ago and I fear my home is too small. He is litterbox trained but has gone outside the box when he feels anxious. Other anxious behaviors over the years include eating grass or blankets. Mork was fostered in a large home with other cats and a male owner and displayed no anxious behavior then. I love Mork and would love to see him thrive in an environment that is best suited for him.

Story
Flynn (brown and white tabby) and Sergeant (all black) are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They come from a litter that was found in the bushes of a commercial shopping center. Their mom and littermates were all rescued. They are estimated to be around 7 months old (estimated DOB 8/1/2024). Flynn and Sergeant are playful kittens that love to run around and chase each other. They enjoy a good snuggle on a trusted human lap and are always excited for mealtime. They are looking for a kind and safe home to continue to grow, play and flourish in. Flynn and Sergeant are neutered and have completed their 3-part FVRCP vaccine. They have their rabies vaccine, they have been treated for roundworms, and have tested negative for giardia and feline leukemia. It is recommended to get them established with your local vet upon adopting.

Sally MRQ# D8-24-2 DOB: 4/20/24 Hi! My name is Sally! I am an affectionate, loving, spunky kitten with lots of energy that starts purring right when I am picked up. If you are sitting down, I will come up to you and put my two front paws on your knees, just wanting you to pick me up. I will also flop my body at your feet, waiting for a little belly rub. I love to be cradled like a baby and will give you lots of kitty kisses! I enjoy exploring, climbing and playing with all types of toys. I enjoy playing with spring toys, playing with a ball tower and I will often be seen running around the house with a toy in my mouth. I especially like playing with my foster sister Penelope and foster brothers Enzo and Frodo, but would be happy to have any other playful kitten or young cat as a companion. I do well with kitties of all ages in my foster home, but I do really need a friend that wants to play. I also have been around a senior dog and older, patient children. When I am done playing and exploring, I will want to cuddle up with you for some love and a nap. I have been spayed, dewormed, flea treated, I am up to date on vaccines and I am microchipped. All I need now is the purrfect forever home! If interested, please contact my foster mom Stephanie at (949) 257-8077 or stephaniemarkle@rocketmail.com Personality Traits: Is litter box trained Has been around other cats Great for first-time cat owner Great for a family with children Is a very ACTIVE and outgoing kitty LIKES to be held LIKES to be picked up Is used to being held/nails trimmed Would be happiest with a buddy

Story
Boots MRQ#: Solo 2-24-15 DOB: 02/14/21 Hi! My name is Boots! I am a big, sweet, loving cat and I am looking for my forever home. I was abandoned by my first owner, so my foster mom took me in and cared for me. Sadly, not soon after, I had to be rushed to the emergency clinic due to a urinary blockage. I have been doing great since my surgery and I am ready for my new family. Moving forward, I just need to eat a special diet. This way, I will not have any further urinary issues and I can live a long, happy life. I really enjoy eating, so eating a special diet is not a problem :). What I love most of all is to be around people, including kids. I can’t wait to jump right into your lap for a cuddle (along with making biscuits) and a nap. I enjoy playing with all types of toys, but I especially have fun with toy mice and teaser toys. I have spent time around cats and dogs, but would probably be happiest as the only cat in the family. Once you meet me, you will see that I am all that you will ever need! I have been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, I am up to date on vaccines, I am microchipped and litter box trained. All I need now is the purrfect forever home! If interested, please contact my foster mom Stephanie at stephaniemarkle@rocketmail.com or (949) 257-8077 Personality Traits: Is litter box trained Should probably be the ONLY cat in the home Is a very ACTIVE kitty LIKES to be held LIKES to be picked up Is used to being around older children Is very outgoing and independent Is used to having nails trimmed Is used to being groomed
