HI! I am Dash, brother to Harley and Dash. We are about 9 weeks old (as of Nov. 13). We were rescued from someone’s backyard and happy to be indoors and warm and fed. I am a super sweet, friendly guy that is coming out of my shell more and more everyday. I love to play with my animal friends but love to get my special time together with my human companions for our cuddle time. If you are looking for some quality kitten time, look no further! I would do best in a quiet home with one of my brothers or another cat to keep me company. 

Dash has been adopted!.

Hi I am Harley. Siblings to Dash and Ash. I am about 9 weeks old (as of Nov. 13). We were rescued in a backyard where we were born to a stray mom.  I am a handsome boy that is sure to steal your heart. I start off a little shy but gain courage from my kitten siblings and other animal playmates in my foster home. I would love to be adopted with one of my brothers. I am playful and as sweet as they come. I am sure to warm your heart.  I will do best in a quiet home with one of my siblings.

When the foster mom met Pippa, it was obvious she was the most fearful in the litter – hissing, spitting, and scratching peoples’ hands that came too close for comfort. She loves wrestling with her siblings. We found the best way to get her used to human socialization was to isolate her in a different room away from her brother and sister. Pippa was undoubtedly unimpressed with this change as we’re sure if we understood cat speak – a lot of nasty choice words were uttered. She has come a long way and after many weeks from the patient foster mom spending time with Pippa alone, Pippa realizes that scratches on the back and under the chin are nice -especially when canned food is served. Now she is very chatty and a bit of a purr monster! When you come into her room, she is eager for pets by her terms and only when she can see your hand coming. She hates surprises. She will come to you for some scratches and will run off to play with her toys or lightly bat your hand away when she’s had enough. Pippa loves to climb high and is very good at using the scratching post. She is quite skittish so anything that is new to her must be introduced very slowly. Foster mom is working on picking Pippa up into her arms and progress has been good so far. For her vet visits, gabapentin has been very helpful as a mild sedative before traveling to appointments, along with slow, gentle handling from veterinarian staff so she does not regress back into her fearful state. She should not be restrained in a blanket or towel as these are associated fears of being caught with them. Pippa would do best with another cat in the household or with adults in the household with children 12+.  She is about 4mths old now (as of Nov. 13)

Pippa has been adopted!

Pepper and Sophie have been adopted together to a lovely family in Mount Forest where they will have 2 canine siblings to keep them company! 
Pepper is the calico and Sophie is the brown tabby.

——————————————–

Pepper is a social butterfly with everyone including people. He is a confident little boy and is always curious about everything around him. He loves to play with his sisters and is starting to get along with the foster mom’s cats. He will tell you how eager he is for his canned food. Pepper enjoys playing tag with the foster mom’s Chihuahua. When tagged, Pepper will “surrender” by laying down and exposing his belly up, then bounces back on his feet to play again. Pepper would fit a household that has a calm and quiet dog that plays gently with kittens.

Sophie is a playful and active kitty. She is quickly learning that people are not so bad and that they give nice pets and yummy food. She will need a patient family that will talk softly and move slowly while approaching her as she spooks easily. She is not fond of being picked up and will run away to escape. Sophie would rather be racing around the floor, bouncing off the walls with her siblings or batting around the mice toys. Sophie has a comfort quirk – kneading her bed, purring and suckling on the blanket, mimicking the nursing motion with mum.
