Story
Kitty is the more independent of the bonded brother pair, who were brought to me as 3-4 month old semi-feral kittens. Their growth over the last year has been incredible! I struggled over the idea of rehoming them, but job changes will have me away from home for considerable periods and I will no longer be able to give them the proper amount of care they deserve. However, they are both independent -Kitty more so- and are used to being alone for most of the day. They keep themselves occupied together, and Kitty is a fabulous mouser- he completely rid my basement of mice! Kitty does not enjoy being picked up and will accept pets only while near his brother Floof. However, Kitty is good for nail trims if bundled in a towel. He is gentle but will hiss if cornered. I like to think of the brothers like this: Floof is the lap cat, and Kitty is there for moral support. They do both enjoy playtime with various toys and catnip though, and love food and treats!

Story
I got her from a friend however, they failed to mention to me that she has fleas. Ive taken care of it to the best of my ability, by giving her baths with flea shampoo and haven’t seen any but cannot confirm they are completely gone. I wasn’t prepared for this extra responsibilty alongside with my busy schedule being both a full-time student as well as working full-time. She is only 4 months so she demands a lot of attention that I am unable to provide.

Story
Dora is a very sweet cat. She loves to lay on your lap all the time. She is great with our kids. However over time we have realized she needs to be a single pet household. She has peed outside of the litterbox and we had her treat UTI’s and crystals in her urine. Even after this we realized it was behavioral because she prefers to be the only cat in the house. We would love to see her go to a home that would make her very happy and not stressed about another pet. We have loved her very much but it’s time to see her happy in a new home.

Looking for an adorable supervisor for your home? Look no further! I am a curious, silly, and brave kitty who loves to know what's happening. When I'm not in your business, I love to play with my toys (carboard boxes are my favorite) and cuddle with my loving humans! I also grew up with my brother, Biscoff -- so I know and love to play with kitties too! I am ready for that perfect home that wants an adorable little girl to make them smile. I am in Tennessee, but can be transported to the Northeast region to meet you if needed. If you are interested in adopting me, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.November 16, 2024, 8:47 pm

Story
Rory & Leo entered our rescue as stray cats. They are a bonded pair that we think might be mother and son. Leo is younger but they are both young kitties. Rory loves to be pet once she knows you but is cautious at first. Leo loves to play but is currently nervous around people but getting better everyday. They are looking for a home and family to call forever.
