Story
Jay and Nick are 1.5 yr old bonded brothers. They have been together since birth! They were adopted together from the shelter as very young kittens. Their owner sadly had to move to a nursing home, so we are seeking a new home for them. They are in perfect health and are hoping for a home to live out the rest of their lives together. They still have lots of kitten energy and are very playful. They love chasing toys, hiding in boxes, and exploring every nook and cranny. They have enjoyed 2 large cat condos where they spend a lot of time watching the birds and squirrels outside. Above all, they love playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other. When they're not busy playing, they like to crawl into your lap or beside you for some love and a long nap.

Story
Lucy is 3.5 years old. We got her, along with her sister Penelope, at a shelter when they were 5 mo. old. She is incredibly sweet, loving and well-behaved. She loves to sit in boxes, chase light reflections/flashlights on the wall, & enjoys "helping" change the bed sheets! She doesn't meow very often. She is very elegant with sleek, black fur & a couple of white spots on her belly. She has been an indoor cat up until a few weeks ago when I have indulged in letting her on the porch for a few minutes on occasion (she is afraid to go much further). She has always been gentle with my little one, loves to play and be petted. Be sure to hide any small items on the floor so she won't ingest them. Only medical issue was a possible eye infection when we adopted, still squints a little sometimes. She is up to date with rabies but I fell behind on the other vaccines after I became very ill. She & Penelope deserve a kind, gentle & loving owner.

Story
Luke is a big tabby cat with a heart of gold. He may be a big boy, but he is very gentle and calm. He loves head scratches and cuddles and eating. His favorite toy is the red laser, but he'll also play with a feather all day long. He is bonded with his sister Leia and they get along great. They are both 9 months and were abandoned at our local vet. Both are spayed/neutered and are up to date on shots and all flea meds. They have been with their foster mom for over a month and are eager to find a forever home! If you want an affectionate cat that is good with people and other cats, Luke and Leia are for you!

Story
Penelope is 3.5 years old. We got her, along with her sister Lucy, at a shelter when they were 5 mo. old. She is very sweet, very loving & easy-going. She loves toys & sometimes fetches. She mainly meows when she wants her evening treat or in greeting. She has luxuriously soft black fur with some unique adorable gray tufts behind her ears & gray/dark brown on her belly. She has been an indoor cat up until a few weeks ago when I have indulged in letting her eat grass for a few minutes from time to time (she has never gone beyond our front yard). She has always been gentle with my little one, loves to cuddle & purrs easily. Only thing to watch out for with her is to make sure small plastic-like items (hair ties, popped balloons, pipe cleaners, etc) are not on the floor so she won't eat them! No medical issues thus far. She is up to date with rabies but I fell behind on the other vaccines after I became very ill. She & Lucy deserve a kind, gentle & loving owner.

Story
Loving, social, and playful! Leia is a sweet, sweet cat looking for someone to cuddle with. Her favorite activity is staring at the birds outside and chirping back at them. She also loves the red laser and playing chase with any cat toy. Leia would be a great addition to any home, whether their adopter is experienced with cats or not. She and her brother (Luke) are bonded and get along great together and with other cats. They were abandoned at our local vet and are about 9 months old. Both are spayed/neutered and up to date on shots and flea meds. For more videos and info, check her out on instagram @the_tipsy_kitty.
