Hello! My almost two year old cat had three kittens now (nine wks. old) adorable kittens looking to rehome. They aren't feeding from the mom, drinking water/milk and eating food from bowl.

Story
I got Naveen at a shelter in Orlando, FL. I've had him for about two years now and our move back up here was a little rough but remained the absolute best cat. Navi loves to bring you toys to play fetch with and is super vocal! He is as clingy as they get, so having an owner that has the time to be present for him is very important. He will follow you from room to room and you will sometimes find him waiting for you when you wake up and while you step away to shower. Even though he's a big cat, I have to remember that he's only 2! At that age he's very curious, which may and oftentimes lead to mischief (he's just a baby:)). He loves chin scratches and ear rubs and is overall very open to being handled. He spent the first year of his adoption around a dog so he takes play time very serious, so it's good to keep his nails trimmed to avoid battle scars. I'm looking for a home to love and care for him the best way possible.

Story
This distinguished 1 year old Tabby is reserved, quiet, loves head rubs, naps and eating. About 3 months ago, Kevin Sebastian, as he is affectionately called, was observed hanging outside with the neighborhood pride of cats, but he was different. Unlike the others, he boldly gave out ankle hugs to the humans. He swooped in for ear and back scratches. And he didn't even flinch at the sight of my dogs. He behaved like he belonged to someone. I immediately made my mission to find this cutie pie a home. Thanks to the Humane Rescue Alliance, Kevin Sebastian is neutered, rabies vaccinated, FVRCP vaccinated, Microchipped, and parasite treated. Currently, he has taken residency in my home office where he sits in the window to people watch and take naps on my financial files. Kevin Sebastian may do better in a 1 cat household, but is adaptable. Not sure about his demeanor with children, but he is still pretty young and is trainable. Would make a great loving addition to your family.

Pinky is my family and we love her l. We had her since she was a kitten so it will be hard for her to go to a new home. She’s really sweet, nonaggresive. Very mild manners and behaviors. She gets the zoomies sometimes and love a scratch post. Shes almost 3 years old but still a baby. She’s a house cat and we tried to take her outside and she was scared. We would like someone to love her like we do. Thank you

Story
Originally rescued him from a friend in need about 14 months ago. He is now 3 years old. He came from a home that had previous experience fostering cats and I believe that he will thrive better in a multi-cat home, although he is okay to be alone too. If he is placed alone, he has large amounts of energy and needs an owner who can provide multiple playtimes and attention to him throughout day. He is extremely nice and often very quiet.

Story
Vera was rescued from a construction site where she was all alone and in desperate need of help. She was understandably very scared when she first came to us but she's come so far to get comfortable in her foster home! Vera loves to play and can't get enough toys! She's very athletic and chases the wand toys, ball tracks and everything else she can get her paws on. Vera is accepting of pets and can be a very sweet girl after she settles in but her potential new family should know she will need some time to get comfortable. We think she would do very well in a home with other kitties to play with as she enjoys being with other cats. To be considered as a potential adopter, complete an adoption application. Completing the application does not guarantee it will be approved. We are an all volunteer group and unfortunately are unable to answer every phone call, adoption inquiry, or application. Please understand you will be contacted only if your application is approved.

Story
Jif was adopted from the DC Humane Rescue Alliance at just a few weeks old way back in 2016. I am not a cat person but Jif's temperament made it very easy for me to get on board with having a cat in the house. He was raised by our lazy dog, so he kind of thinks he's a dog and is very easy going. He loves lounging on the couch or in your lap, getting cuddles, and chasing toys every now and then. Lately, he has been an indoor cat, but he once thrived playing around in our small backyard without wandering off. We now have a one a half year old daughter who is very curious about Jif, but Jif does not want anything to do with her. That is creating some friction! For a while, we could manage, but now that our daughter can move, the environment is too stressful for Jif. To be sure, he has never been aggressive towards our daughter. We want him to live in a calm apartment or house, preferably with another relaxed dog who likes playing with cats every now and then.

Story
Little Ember is a sweet, affectionate, and playful kitten who was just recently spayed as part of a Trap-Neuter-and-Release (TNR) operation. But because she’s such a sweet girl, we decided to bring her inside and to get her adopted. She’s a 4–5-month-old dark brown tabby who loves to play, eat, cuddle, sit on laps, and spar and get grooming licks from her adopted older brother, Theo. She’s been an outdoor kitty since she was born and is ready to live the good life with her person/people as a fully indoor kitty.

Story
Introducing Theo! Theo is an orange tabby approximately 2-3 years old. He is such a sweet soul who loves looking out the window, sunbeams, sparring and grooming his kitten friend, Ember, and cuddling up next to his person while he gets pets. Theo was an outdoor cat abandoned by his owners. A few weeks ago, I brought Theo home after seeing how much he loves people and is destined to live the posh life of living indoors. If we didn’t already have 3 cats of our own, I would adopt Theo in a second – but we feel 4 cats may be pushing it! If you are interested in a sweet adult ginger kitty to share your life and space with, Theo may be the one for you!

Saturn needs a lot of attention, and unfortunately my schedule just doesn't give me the time to spend with him. He's always looking to play and will always stick by your side. I have not been able to figure out how to train him - I tried double-sided tape and tin foil to discourage him from jumping onto counters, but it turns out he EATS tape and tin foil. He does use his litter box but can be a little messy with it. I think he needs a big home, perhaps with another cat, and an owner who can spend a lot of one-on-one time with him. I wish I could do more for him.
