Story
Hera is a gorgeous girl who was found living behind a barbershop with her five kittens. She was an amazing mama who is quite young herself - our vet estimates no older than 2 years old - so she’s both nurturing and playful with her babies. She has the most unique striped whiskers and trilling meow. (She loves to talk!) She does still have some of those protective maternal hormones since it can take a few months for them to leave her system after she’s spayed, so she’s a little nervous with people but you can tell she’s a love bug under there - she head butts your legs constantly, loves to make figure-eights around your feet, and chirps in her unique little voice whenever she wants your attention. Hera just needs an experienced cat owner who can give her the time and space she needs to settle in. (The nervous element may also be in large part because the foster home she’s in has other adult cats she can smell and hear, so it may be much less of an issue if you don’t have other animals.) She does love her kittens and we’d love it if she could go home with one of them…(https://www.petfinder.com/cat/artemis-73021926/ca/oceanside/meow-or-never-inc-ga915/ & https://www.petfinder.com/cat/athena-73021917/ca/oceanside/meow-or-never-inc-ga915/ & https://www.petfinder.com/cat/ares-73021911/ca/oceanside/meow-or-never-inc-ga915/) Hera is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, flea-free, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Story
Artemis (Arti for short) is a sweet little girl who loves to show you her belly. She is the smallest of her siblings, who were all found with their mom living behind a barbershop when they were 4 weeks old. She is the embodiment of the phrase "tiny but mighty" - whenever she's frightened by something, she puffs herself up bravely and doesn't cower. When she’s not wrestling and snuggling with her siblings, she’s following you around to see what you’re up to. She will need to be adopted with one of their siblings unless there is already another young cat in your home looking for a friend. (You can read more about why kitten pairs are so important here: https://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens) Arti is about 16 weeks old as of mid-October. She is spayed, dewormed, flea-free, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, and vaccinated to date.

Story
Once we had a theme chosen for this litter's name, Athena named herself the wisest of her siblings! She is definitely the sharpest of her littermates - the first to learn the litter box, the first to wean, the first to find the next level to climb. She is a curious little girl with the cutest round face and puppy-dog eyes you've ever seen! She loves to curl up in your lap after a good meal and purr herself to sleep. She and her two sisters and two brothers were found behind a barbershop with their mama at just 4 weeks old. They all get along wonderfully and need to be adopted with one of their siblings unless there is already another young cat in your home looking for a friend. (You can read more about why kitten pairs are so important here: https://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens) Athena is about 16 weeks old as of mid October. She is spayed, dewormed, flea-free, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, and vaccinated to date.

Story
Ares is the fiercest of his litter - when we took him in at just 4 weeks old, he was ready to do battle to defend his mom and 4 siblings against anyone wishing them harm. They had been living behind a barbershop where the owner was going to send the family to animal control. Meow or Never took him and his family in instead, and as soon as Ares realized he was safe, he turned into a curious, happy boy who could be a kitten again instead of having to worry about all the threats that come with outdoor life. Now his favorite pastime is a game of “if I fits, I sits” - the more bizarre, the better! He is also ridiculously photogenic and knows how to turn his head just-so to give you the cutest picture possible. :p Ares is very active and playful, so he needs to be adopted with one of his siblings unless there is already another young cat in your home looking for a friend. (You can read more about why kitten pairs are so important here: https://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens) Ares is about 16 weeks old as of mid October. He is neutered, dewormed, flea-free, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, and vaccinated to date.

Story
Update March 2024: Tofu does well around other cats, however she is not socially interactive with Humans. Tofu was rescued as young kitten (born at the Rio Cuale) and brought back to our shelter. Despite our efforts to socialize her, she's basically feral. She would need a person familiar with feral cats to live a happy life. So for now, she is with us in Punta Mita, living her best life with food, shelter and the company of other cats.Tofu has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available
