Story
When I adopted him, it was his 3rd home and he was only 1 at the time. The family prior had a 6month old baby and only had him for a week Rajah is very loyal, affectionate and very playful. He loves to play with our boxer. I have had him for 2 years now and I unable to keep up with his needs. Rajah has out grown our home and needs more space for play. He has alot of energy and would be a good outdoor cat but we have small amount property. There are too many dogs in our neighborhood. Ideally a farm would be the best thing for him.

Story
I adopted Felix as my second cat back in Early July, they said that he was a stray, and had est. his 2nd bday to be around April of this year. Him and Freddie; my rambunctious 1 yr old kitty; got along great: they played, bathed each other, chilled, and sometimes fought, but usually ended in kisses and naps. Felix is the sweetest cat. He is a Velcro kitty: he wants pets, and chin scratches. I think he definitely requires an owner who can give him a lot of attention, and he honestly might be best as a single cat, maybe one other cat. My situation changed and in the meantime my parents are watching the cats (I live in a small townhouse, my parents a 2story;basmt. With 1 dog&1 cat) he was ok the first week I was not there, but has now started going outside of the litter box unfortunately, even after attempts to fix this and an increase in litter boxes on each floor. This was not an issue (1time) at my place. Im looking for a good person who can really help me help him. 🤍

Story
Lily is a small, beautiful, and sweet young female silver tabby.  She makes the most adorable little chirps and loves to attack toys hiding under the blanket.  She also loves to play with strings and bat toys around.  She's well behaved with excellent manners and very happy to chill in high places.  She gets along great with other cats (she likes being doted on by humans and cats) and she'll sometimes snuggle up with you while you sleep.  She doesn't really care for dogs and while she could tolerate a calm, disinterested dog, she would probably prefer a home without.  She also would do best in a quiet home with older children.  She can be cautious at first but loves attention and has done really well in a quieter home.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $200  To adopt Lily, email us at kakf3133@gmail.comOctober 4, 2024, 8:04 pm

Story
Renegade gives middle child energy.  He is the bravest and most confident out of his siblings and is always exploring in search of his next adventure.  He loves pets and will even tolerate being picked up and held in short spurts.  He doesn't mind the dog and was the first to walk by him and does it now without hesitation.  He would probably be great with kids, although he hasn't met any yet.  He is easily won over with some tinsel balls or other toys to throw around.  he would be happiest in a home with one of his siblings, especially Walker (the 2nd) or Mac.  But any other young, energetic cat to play with would be fine as well.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200 (if he is adopted with one of his siblings their adoption fee is $350 for the pair) To adopt Renegade email us at kakf3133@gmail.comOctober 4, 2024, 8:04 pm

Story
Mac is a shy but curious boy.  He's hesitant about physical affection, like his sisters, but also like them, you can sneak in some love when he's eating or you're treating him to churu.  He watches his brothers get pets and love, like he's trying to figure out what all the hype is about.  Also like his sisters, he usually avoids the dog, so he'd do best in a home without any.  He would probably be fine with older children but younger ones would be too much.  He would do best in a home with another cat and we would love to see him adopted with one of his siblings.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and micro chipped. His adoption fee is $200 (if he is adopted with one of his siblings their adoption fee would be $350 for the pair) To adopt Mac, email us at kakf3133@gmail.comOctober 4, 2024, 8:04 pm

Story
Walker (the 2nd) is a very playful young boy who loves pets and will rub his face and whole body against your hands for some good rubs!  He is curious about the dog, and brave enough to run by him if he wants to get by.  He should go in a home with another playful cat to help them burn off each other's energy.  He has not been around kids but we think he'd be good in a home with kids and we could see him making the right kid his person.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200 (if he is adopted with another kitten in the rescue their adoption fee is $350 for the pair) To adopt Walker (the 2nd) email us at kakf3133@gmail.comOctober 4, 2024, 8:04 pm
