Patches Oh, the love! Patches and his twin brother Whiskers just can't get enough affection. Both boys but their head up against my hand and move their bodies in just the right way to make sure my hand makes a full run down their backs to the itchy spot right in front of their tails. |  |
Whiskers Oh, the love! Whiskers and his twin brother Patches just can't get enough affection. Both boys but their head up against my hand and move their bodies in just the right way to make sure my hand makes a full run down their backs to the itchy spot right in front of their tails. |  |
Sweetpea Only the sweetest could be named Sweetpea. This little guy is an adorable kitty baby who was found with 2 sisters in a woodpile outside one cold October day. His rescuer was a kind-hearted woman who coaxed the kittens through their early weeks with plenty of love and syringes full of warm milk. |  |
Mercedes Mercedes has grown up in foster care along with her sister Lexus. She has become quite a wonderful girl. She is very sweet and likes to talk to you. And boy does she love to play, especially with her favorite toy, the laser! Her sleek, slender body makes her able to chase it in a flash! And when she wants attention, she walks in front of you and throws herself onto her side, as if to say pet me and play with me! She is very cute about cuddling up next to you on the couch for more petting and attention too. |  |
Lexus Lexus and her sister Mercedes have grown up in foster care and are quite the little ladies now. Lexus has the softest black fur coat imaginable! She is a sweet dainty girl. She loves to be up high on the cat tree, or to be chasing feathers and the laser. |  |
Finn Finn is part of a cat two-some with Oliver [05-065] being his companion (and possibly biological brother). They are both sweet, reserved cats that love personal attention but do not demand it. Finn is certainly the more bombastic out of the two, often initiating play with a slumbering Oliver. |  |
Oliver Oliver is part of a cat two-some with Finn [05-064] being his companion (and possibly biological brother). They are both sweet, reserved cats that love personal attention but do not demand it. Oliver is much more reserved than Finn, seeming at first apprehensive around strangers; this is only matched by his deep affections after he gets to know a person. |  |
Sorrel Sorrel is friendly and gentle. She enjoys being stroked and played with. She and her sister, Sable, are very easy cats to have around the house and a joy to live with. They would like to stay together. |  |
Sable Sable and her sister, Sorrel, are very playful and friendly. They love to be petted and played with and enjoy each others company. They are gentle cats and are a joy to have in the house. They were raised with and are good with the dogs and other cats. |  |
Mama Mia Mama Mia (or Mia as she was originally named) is a very sweet girl and the perfect mother. She takes some time to settle into a new situation and trust new people. She can get a little skittish and would do best in a calmer environment. |  |
Big Man So you're looking for someone to watch over you? Well I'm your man - they don't call me BIG for nothing! I will protect, cherish and love you (just don't tell anybody that I'm really a total mush at heart) Despite my rough and tumble appearance, I am one of the nicest cats you'll meet. |  |
Handsome Handsome was a little shy when he first came into my house but has since turned into an affectionate, sweet fellow. No photograph can do justice to his wonderful, expressive green eyes. Like his tail, they express his impatience that you are not scratching his ears right now, like he would like you to. |  |
Lucy A very sweet, adorable kitten who is full of love. She currently is living with her brother and four adult cats and needs her own home to get the attention and love that she deserves. The older cats do not interact much with the kittens, but all the cats seem to get along. |  |
Dusty Dusty is a small kitten with a huge agenda. He knows he is the most important person in the house, that everyone loves him as much as he loves them and that the only thing worthwhile in his world is playing and cuddling. |  |

She really enjoys playing with her brother Yuri. She is litter box trained, FeLv/FIV negative, spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. |  |
Natt Natt, named after the singer, Natt King Cole, makes small chirping sounds and louder purrs. He loves to get stroked from head to tail, around his head and ears and will sit in your lap for head and neck rubs. He lets you know when he is there by rubbing himself against your legs. |  |
Raven Raven is a sweet and outgoing girl. She loves to jump and play. She and her litter-mates are as fun and curious as kittens can be! |  |

Sweetie Pie Sweetie was the last kitten born in a litter of six. She needed help being born and we weren't sure she would make it. Boy, did she show us! She may be the smallest in the bunch but she has big personality! She pounces and plays with the best of them and earns her name as a sweet little girl. |  |
Kalima Kalima and her sister, Sashi, were shy when they came to us at 6 weeks old as they had never been handled. Kalima is now very happy to be approached and enjoys stroking once she gets to know you. She purrs easily and likes company.

Nibbler My name is Nibbler! People think black cats are unlucky, but I'm a rescued orphan - I'm the luckiest guy in the world! And besides, I'm not really solid black - I have black stripes, you just have to look closely! I'm tiny for my litter, but I can roll with the punches. |  |
