Story
Hi There! Let me introduce you to our Fabulous Foursome! Winkin, Blinkin, Tabby, and Tux! These 4 brothers have been in a loving foster home since being rescued from under a backyard shed. Each has their very own lovely personality and every bit of kitten playfulness they should be! They were born on April 1st so are now about 3 months old. They’re ready for their forever homes and will continue to receive vetting support and neuter through East CAN even once in new places. Winkin (one of the twins! Gray and white and curious) is a very friendly curious babe who likes a nuzzle and is quick to purr. Tabby (he’s the Tabby… ha!) is an outgoing and playful little boy who loves to explore. Blinkin (gray and white like his twin brother but with the addition of a sweet gray beard) like Tabby is playful and outgoing - kind of the Ying to his twin brother Winkin’s Yang! Tux (in his regal black tuxedo) is a true snuggle bunny. He’s the last to the food bowl and the first to his nap. He likes to sneak away under the couch for some quiet time away from his brothers. They’re all absolutely precious and ready for their forever families! If you are interested in meeting any of these babies please email info@eastcan.org and someone will get back with you ASAP to set something up.

Story
The cat was left by last owner at apartment that I moved into on May 1st. The neighbor said they could not take the cat, and at the time he was 6 months old, which he is now a year old. He is sweet, and lovable friendly cat, and he is an inside and outside cat. He loves playing outside, and being inside. He purrs and loves to be petted. I will be moving in March and want to find him a home before I move. I took him to Nashville Metro animal shelter and they said they were not taking in cats.

He's under 2 years old, he's not mine no one claims him... yet...somewhat bit shy n timid but very friendly. Doesn't like to be picked up but is not scratchy about it. Rubs legs, a bit curious. I'd say can be a little troublemaker sometimes truthfully, but please don't let that deture u. Likes rubs n pets, pretty vocal sometimes. Can climb. I don't know his breed, it told me I had to select 1.....

I adopted two brothers at eight weeks old December 27 of 2023. We travel too much and they are costing me a fortune. They’re both very good boys, but they deserve a better home.

Story
Houdini has been living in our community for the past few months. My neighbor was feeding her but she moved a couple weeks ago and I’ve been taking care of Houdini in the meantime. Houdini has moved onto my porch and once she became comfortable with me, I discovered that she is extremely affectionate and friendly. I decided I wanted to bring her in since it’s getting cold so I took her to the vet and discovered that she has FIV. Unfortunately I cannot take her in because she could infect my cat. I’m hoping someone can take her in as she’s living outside and the temperature is dropping. She’s extremely sweet and loving and deserves a loving home.

Hello! My name is Nino! I absolutely love sitting on your lap! And love being petted! I am a very chill relaxed cat. I am not aggressive at all. But I will say, I am very shy. Be patient with me, and I will eventually grow on you! You’ll know I love you if I start to drool when you scratch my head.

Story
Pandora and Millie are a special pair – Pandora, barely a year old, got tossed out in a remote area when she was pregnant. She was frightened and stressed, but a trooper to give birth to a sweet tuxedo litter of 5! Caring residents in the neighborhood picked them up – her kittens found a home. She had shut down. We could only touch her on her head and neck. No resistance, no reaction. We added kitten Millie, a sweet, social girl to give her company - and her gentle, sweet personality slowly showed. She learned to play again. Millie is her support! They also have met the resident cats in their foster home with no animosity. Please look at the video clip of them playing! https://youtu.be/gvIG3LRHjMs Both of them have not jet learned to be lap kitties, but will sit next to you and purr. They won’t jump on your counters or laptops and climb up your drapes. Just be sweet company! They need some time to adjust to a new home. We are searching for their angels (hearts) Pandora is estimated 18 - 20 months old, Millie is 5 months old. They both are healthy, spayed, vaccinated, micro chipped, FIV negative and good with the litter box and scratch pad. We are asking for a donation of $100 to help us with some of the vet costs.

UPDATE: Dozer needs a totally secure outdoor home that has heating and air where he can go in during the winters and summers. He is very friendly. . He may or may not be a mouser. Due to unresolved and occasional bouts with diarrhea, he would not be accepted in most homes. Please help!! I will work out something with you.....................🐾♦🐈‍⬛♦This wiggly, lovey boy is almost impossible to photograph. "Dozer" is just a little over 2 years old and needs a home 🐾♦🐈‍⬛♦ . He is completely vetted, microchipped and is such a little love booger. He does have digestive issues and needs a special diet. If you can take him, this would greatly help our rescue. He was taken from a real bad case and apparently it did something to his digestive tract. A person who is patient will love him regardless. I sure hope this person is YOU.

Story
THANK YOU FOR READING THE STORY OF THIS KITTEN IN FULL : This kitten came from a set that could of been doomed from a shelter for being a bit too "feral". I did not know they were that old or wild, but by the time I broke them free, one cannot return saved animals back to a shelter !! I have been working on them to get them as friendly as possible. Please, I would love an experienced adopter to show them the good life. All this baby needs is more love, patience, massages and "bribery" and will make you a good new friend. If you adopt, I can save more. If no one adopts this set, I have to stop intake completely as I am but one person doing everything. Thank you for reading. Included in your rescue adoption is full microchip service, has all 3 booster shots, rabies, flea meds, dewormed . JUST NEEDS A GOOD INDOOR HOME and YOU !!!!
