He came to us a stray but will never be without a home again. His gentleman is so sweet and loving, you may never want to leave the house. He's a very mellow young guy who is playful but content to be with his people.This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

Story
You'll not find a more handsome kitten than this little guy! Three month old Bodhi came from a less than ideal environment where he was handled roughly by the children and the pit bulls in the home. He has been decompressing in a foster home and was a bit spicy at first. He has calmed down quite a bit and is a purring machine when picked up and petted. He loves to play with the other cats as well as his humans but does get "spooked" by fast movements or loud noises. He has been responding very well to love, kindness and lots of play for all of his energyThis cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

Story
Murphy came to us with his brother, Mulligan and 2 sisters. They are a little nervous, having just arrived at their foster home but warm up very quickly with a wand toy, spring or toy mouse. They are very food motivated and forget all about being hesitant when they hear a can of cat food being opened. They just came to us a few days ago and are adjusting very quickly to new people and other cats. They will be adoptable shortly.This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!
