Story
Loki is looking for a forever home full of cuddle-hugs and laser-pointer chases! Loki and her sister, Odin, are about nine years old. My brother raised them both since they were young kittens, but he is unable to take care of them any longer (for circumstances unrelated to the cats), so I've been fostering them. Having cared for them for a few months, I'm confident they can be rehomed together or separately; they cuddle together sometimes but mostly seem to do their own thing. Loki is the more quiet and reserved of the pair. She takes a little while to warm up to new people, but once you're on her good side, you'll never be lacking a cuddle buddy. Instead of curling up on your lap, she prefers to lie right on your chest, like she's trying to give you a hug. She spends most of the daytime finding sunny spots to stretch out and lounge. She's especially happy if there's a window with a birdfeeder she can watch. Her favorite playtime activity, by far, is intensive laser-pointer chases.

Story
Odin is looking for a forever home full of chin-scratchs and laser-pointer chases! Odin and her sister, Loki, are about nine years old. My brother raised them both since they were young kittens, but he is unable to take care of them any longer (for circumstances unrelated to the cats), so I've been fostering them. Having cared for them for a few months, I'm confident they can be rehomed together or separately; they cuddle together sometimes but mostly seem to do their own thing. Odin is the more talkative and attention-loving of the pair. She absolutely cannot get enough pets and chin-scratches. She's the only cat I've met that not only asks for belly rubs, but doesn't even do the typical cat thing of "you can rub my belly once and then I'll bite you" -- she'll just happily roll around for more pets, purring like a car engine. Like her sister, she loves birdwatching (bonus points if you have a bird feeder) and her favorite playtime activity, by far, is intensive laser-pointer chases.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I'm a little ball of energy with a big personality! I love to chat and always have something to say. I'm super cuddly and love spending time with my foster family, especially when I can curl up on their laps or snuggle on their chest. Playing with my brothers and wrestling them is so much fun, but don't let my playful side fool you – I'm also irresistibly adorable and will totally steal your heart! I must be adopted with one of my siblings: Bobby, Greg or Peter.   All of our kitties are spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccinations, dewormed, deflead and microchipped prior to being delivered to their loving forever home.All of our kittens are only available for adoption in pairs as it is our policy not to place kittens under six months of age in a forever home without another same aged kitten. We also do not place kittens older than six months into homes where there is currently not another young cat in residence. Most of our kittens are in 'bonded pairs' or bonded with their littermates. We reserve the right not to separate bonded pairs or place kittens individually. The happiness and quality of life for our kittens is our top priority. =^..^=Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2024, 5:19 pm
