Story
We have a family that is sweet as apple pie!!! Well we do not have pie, but we do have mommy cat Apple and her 5 kittens, Cider, Cobbler, Crisp, Fritter and Strudel! This entire family (part siamese mix) came from a home that had A LOT of cats as none of the cats in the home were fixed so the situation quickly got out of control :( Unfortunately as there were many cats in the home, none of the kittens and cats were socialized, so we have been working very hard at getting them to like people. Now more about this beautiful family! Mom (Apple) and Crisp (one of her sons) were adopted, but still have 4 kittens available for adoption.
The kittens are around 8 months old and full of energy! Like most kittens they love to play and this litter is no exception. From lasers to wands to feathers..they play with it all. A few even climb the cage to get closer to the toys. Just like with people, all 4 kittens have their own unique personalities and we are looking for adopters that will understand that it might take them a little longer to come out of their shells (especially Cider and Cobbler), but we know with time they will flourish in the right home.
Fritter is the only boy. He is the only one that took after mom with his medium hair. He is a black male kitten with the cutest tufts of fur in his ears. He loves to play and get very excited over crinkle balls and mice. Fritter is the most outgoing of the litter and loves people as much as playing with toys! Fritter also enjoys sitting in your lap or climbing on your shoulders :) Although Fritter does get a little too excited and will sometimes nibble.
Now Strudel does stand out from her entire family! She is the only one that is not black. This little girl is beige like a classic Siamese kitten. Strudel is friendly but still a little shy of people. Strudel does love to play as well. She loves to run in and out of tunnels and like her brother she loves playing with little mice toys. While Strudel reserved, she does love pets and attention (just on her terms). You need to move slow and let her make the choice.
Cobbler is an adorable short haired black female kitten and is the smallest of the litter. She has come a long way in her trust of people. She is still rather shy and is going to need a patient owner who is willing to let her open up at her own pace. Cobbler does enjoy being pet and playing with toys is her favorite past time. She loves her brother and sisters (or any cat) and can often be found cuddling with them.
Cider is also a short haired black female kitten. Her and Cobbler look very much alike but one noticable differnce is Cider is polydactyl. She has the biggest "thumbs" on her front paws. Cider is still VERY shy and would rather play with her toys (especially her little mouse) than be with people. She is going to need a very patient adopter that is willing to let her go at her own pace. All 4 kittens love squeeze treats and getting treats will always help in earning their trust.
Like many cats that come from hoarding situations, this entire family is what we would call a chronic "snuffler" and will probably always have nasal/eye discharge and had a number of kitty colds since coming to the rescue - unfortunately being a kitten with no prior vaccines and being born into a home with many many cats (all inbred). All the kittens receive added immune supplement to their wet food daily which seems to help.
We believe that these kitten pairs would be best in either an adult only home or one with older children. They MUST be adopted in pairs. A very generous donor has sponsored the adoption fee for both Cobbler and Cider in the hopes of helping them find their forever homes with one of their siblings.
Cats are negative for FelV/FIV, receive age-appropriate vaccines and deworming, are spayed/neutered and are microchipped (free lifetime registration with adoption).
All of our pets go home with a "Go Home Goody Bag" that includes a starter supply of food, treats, toys, and a voucher for a free month of pet insurance from Trupanion.
