Story
Tigger (approx 5yo, tabby, male) Tigger is a curious, lovable, ornery guy. He loves to hop up on your lap if you're sitting on the couch. He purrs and snuggles as you pet him. If he gets nervous about anything, like visitors, he will hide under the blankets in someone's bed. It never takes long to find Tigger, though. Just look for which bed has a "bump" under the covers! Tigger is very food-oriented but can be distracted with toys and attention. Tigger was diagnosed with diabetes in January 2025. We have been treating him with insulin after each meal. (He eats twice a day.) The vet suggested getting him a blood glucose monitor, and then you only need to provide insulin as required. Otherwise, Tigger is a happy, cuddly, friendly boy!

Story
I found Noktis four or five years ago while walking my newly acquired large dog with separation anxiety in Union City, CA. My dog lunged at Noktis' mother and she ran away, leaving Noktis behind. He was the only kitten with her and was very easy to pick up. I realized he was in a terrible condition. Noktis' eyes were glued shut by some sort of infection. He was small enough to fit in the inner pocket of my jacket, so I took him home to a room I rented in the same city. I woke up my then-boyfriend and he helped gently dab away the run-off so that the little kitten's eyes opened the tiniest bit. I couldn't keep him because I already owned another adult female cat along with my large dog. I was ready to give Noktis away but X grew attached and wanted to keep him. Noktis' has a very high pitched meow. He's a wild kitty who growls as he eats his food. He loves his brother Cloud very much! He comes together with Cloud or not at all.
