Meet Merlin and Galahad, two inseparable five-year-old 'Bros' who embody the true meaning of brotherly love. This dynamic duo thrives on each other's company, and we're looking for a forever home where they can stay together.

Beyond their undeniable charm, Merlin and Galahad are total goof balls. They adore attention, pets, and playtime, and they're always up for a fun-filled adventure together. After all that excitement, they'll happily chill out with you for a relaxing game day. With these two having such a tight bond they need to be the only cats in the household.

Story
Hello there! I’m Cato! I’m a charming and playful kitten, rescued along with my mom Polly from the streets. We’re hoping to find our forever home together, but if that’s not possible, I’d need to join a family with another young cat or kitten to play with. After experiencing life on the streets, I appreciated the simple joys – like feeling safe and loved. And, might I add, I’m quite the dashing gentleman, boasting a stunning coat that’s sure to catch your eye! It may take me a little time to warm up to new friends, but once I do, get ready for play time galore! I know a bright future awaits and I am just so exited to find my forever family so I can light up their lives! Cato's date of birth is on or about April 25, 2024, he has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated, and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS. *All kittens need to be adopted in pairs or into a home with another kitten or playful young adult cat.

Story
Hi there, Polly here! I am a long-time stray who was finally rescued with my son Cato by my side. We are just the cutest mother and son duo looking for our forever home (Cato is also posted for adoption). I could be adopted with Cato or by myself.  I am a very sweet cat who loves to play, but I can be a bit shy when you first meet me. I was used to living in constant fear for both our safety and I was always worrying about where we would find our next meal. I am finally starting to realize that we have been rescued and that I can RELAX! I would love a home with windows I can look out and I LOVE cat trees! I also like to explore, play with wand toys, and eat treats. In return, I will give you all my love and affection for the rest of my life.  Polly is about 1 year old and has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated, and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS. To express an interest in adopting her, you need to fill out our adoption application, including as much detail as possible at https://kittycorner.org/adoption/application/.  Please be sure that your email address is correct. If your application is accepted, KittyCorner will contact you via email to set up a time for you to come and meet her.  We require a donation of $100 per kitten/cat which will contribute to the cost of veterinary care that the cat(s) received for all the above-mentioned procedures/treatments.  KittyCorner is a New York State Registered Shelter/Rescue, Registration Number: RR0279. *All kittycorner.org kittens/cats come with a lifetime “cat-back” guarantee.
