Story
Leo is a typical goofy orange cat. He talks a lot and loves attention, but is very friendly towards everyone. If he wants attention whether it's pets, food, or to play with toys he will let you know by meowing at you and tapping you with his paw. His favorite toy is a laser pointer, once he knows you brought it out he'll bother you until he gets to play with it, even taking it for himself if you've placed it down. All-around he is a very playful friendly cat that will make any owner appreciate having him around, if you don't mind him bothering you sometimes.

Story
Rooster is bonded with Bijoux, their mom got out one night for a wild time with the boy cat next door. Their mom is a long hair brown tabby and their dad looks like bijoux. Rooster was the runt of the litter and is the cuddliest of all of them. She will come lay on my hip while I’m laying on my side with my daughter. She is not fixed and has potential for long haired dual eye color babies and her dad was white. She’s a sweetie and loves to run on her cat wheel and if you want it we can give it to you if you take both cats. She was born 2/16/22. We have older kids so we know they are good with older kids but unknown with young kids.

Story
Bijoux is bonded with rooster Bijoux is kind of a jerk. She knows she’s beautiful so she struts her stuff. She doesn’t like pets, unless she’s in the right mood- and only sometimes will cuddle. She loves her sister Rooster though. And she loves running on her cat wheel. If you adopt them we will give you their cat wheel. Bijoux means little jewel, which matches her two different colored eyes. Shes bigger than rooster so there’s no territorial discussions. They both are good at the litter box and were born 2/16/22. Their mom is a long hair brown tabby and dad is a feral white spotted shorthair.

Story
I adopted Bandit 7-1/2 years ago along with another kitten. They got along pretty well together, the occasional spat. Last October I sold my house, and the cats had to go into foster care because I had surgery and the apartment wasn’t ready for me. The cats moved in before I did. When I moved in, they were fine. My roommate has an American Bulldog named Angel. She is a sweetheart, very playful. However, Bandit was not a fan. He scratched Angel up and very nearly blinded her. In this time, Bandit was getting more and more aggressive with Tricksie, my other cat, as well. He also bit and scratched me when frustrated. It is an untenable situation that breaks my heart. Bandit answers to Bandy, Bandit, and Buddy.
