Pebbles, Pixie and Patch seek forever homes

This long-haired trio will be available for adoption mid-June. They still have to be fixed, vaccinated and receive a physical exam. We are accepting applications now, so if you want to give one of these cutie-pies a loving home email us today! Their adoption fee is $75 each.


Names: Pixie, Pebbles & Patch
Age: 10 weeks
Sex: female, male, male


Likes: exploring new territory, wrestling, playing hide & seek, pretending the litter box is a sandbox, string, plastic balls with bells inside, tormenting dogs


Dislikes: rest-time, bedtime, any time when we can't run and play, kitties that hiss at us, baths





Kitten Update

The kittens are now three weeks old and starting to walk around and play. We now believe they are all boys; it was hard to tell and we're still not 100% sure. They look like boys! So now they have names...

This is Shelby, who we thought was a girl at first...lol.



This is Sebastian. He likes to run out of the crate and explore the office. He's very inquisitive.

The orange one on the left is Jackson. He's the chubby ringleader of the bunch.
And the one on the right is Shelby.


That's Jackson, front and center.


Although they've begun exploring, they haven't figured out what the litter box is for. They've been leaving me wonderfully stinky little presents all around the cage! They also have no interest in wet or dry food yet although they seem to have a taste for non-clumping kitty litter. Not good!

Kittens have arrived!

Mama cat and four kittens arrived Tuesday. The kittens are less than two weeks old. Mama's name is Scarface, of all things to name a female cat. But that's gonna change just as soon as we think of something fitting for her. We need to name the kittens as well.



I can't get over how tiny they are! There are two boys and two girls (I think...it's hard to tell for sure). One pure black, one black and white, and two orange babies. I don't think there's a runt in this litter..they all look about the same size.



Mama is surprisingly friendly and lets us hold her kittens. She is a little more protective when the other cats come near the cage, growling and curling around her kittens as if to shield them. She's a great mother.


It should be interesting when the kittens start walking around and playing.
They have been really good so far. I don't hear them crying all night like people said I would. They sleep pretty much all day, curled up with their sweet mama.
