Story

TIGGER the adorable orange kitten and his Best Beloved JEWEL the PantherGirl are just kittens themselves, 6-7 or so months old and they've been together their whole lives! This adorable pair of kitties are BONDED and MUST go together to a quiet home of adults who LOVE kitties and are an experienced feline family. Orange male Tigger is already neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and dewormed. Jewel somehow got out as a kitten during her very first estrus, became pregnant, gave birth to kittens who have now been weaned and are in the process of being placed. During that ENTIRE TIME, Tigger has been loyally by her side, helping with the babies (even though they are really just teenage babies themselves!) and loving Jewel and the kittens. Its a REAL LIFE Romeo and Juliet LOVE story!!!! Jewel is far more socialized, and Tigger would LOVE to find a human with whom he can bond again too, as he did with their first humans. Is that YOUR family? If YOU have enough LOVE to share with this young kitten pair, AND you are HIGHLY EXPERIENCED with kitties (or willing to learn how to help socialize them even more with humans!) RSVP with your PHONE NUMBER and SCHEDULE a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW to chat with our Volunteer Adoption Counselors! Be the right PURRRRever Family!

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.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-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.

Domestic Shorthair

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bagheera was found as a kitten in a crate on a walking trail. He was one out of 4 that survived from a litter of seven. I took him in as a baby and at the time I had another tuxedo cat named Willy, also a rescue. About 9 months ago Willy got out of our house and we are devastated that he could have possibly been taken by a coyote. We never found him and we looked everywhere and put ads up and posted online. Bagheera is very quirky cool little guy. He likes to talk and he would always sit on the counter while I brushed my teeth and he has his own toothbrush so that I can brush his teeth as well. He’s the first to come to my bed in the morning and say hello. He likes to watch TV and play with his toys and play with my Siamese rescue named Nala. Unfortunately, Nala isn’t very fond of him., but tolerant. I know that he misses Willy because that was his playmate. I’m hoping to find him a home with a friendly cat that he can play with. Thank you.

Story

I am a 4yr old shy, handsome, smart, kind, and calm male cat with short black fur and yellow eyes. My owner passed away this year. I am living with a foster mom who takes excellent care of me and had a vet clean my teeth. I need a new home because my foster mom’s other cats can’t adjust to me. I thrive indoors only and as the only cat in the house. I have never lived with a dog nor children so I don’t know how I would react. I want a quiet, loving home with a patient owner where I can freely roam the house, look out windows, and play with toys. I eat soft food for breakfast and dinner and always have a bowl of crunchies for snacking. I like to sit on my foster mom’s lap, take naps on beds, and like to be pet. When I first arrived at my foster mom’s house I hid under a bed in my room, but after 3 months came out of my shell. I do really well with my own bedroom where I can retreat to eat, and hide if scared. I don’t have tiny front teeth, but am healthy. I am a quiet, loyal companion!

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
