Domestic Short Haired Kitties

Hello, my name is Abracadabra. I have a brother Hocus Pocus and a sister Snow White.

I'm an adventurous boy - always looking to explore and of course, pounce and play! My foster mom was trying to take my picture recently but I didn't want to sit still I wanted to hop down and check things out (which is way more fun !).

Don't tell anyone but I'm a love of a boy. When you pick me up I start to purr like mad! I just love attention! Go ahead pet me and cuddle me I'm 'all over' that plan!

Naturally you can tell from my pictures I'm very handsome. My body is long and lean (all the better for stalking my 'prey')!

I get along well with other kitties and have been introduced to dogs. Kids are pretty cool to hang out with - they like to play with me which is GREAT!

To most people I look like an 'ordinary' black kitten. Little do they know I'm a very outgoing loving sweetheart! My secret.... I was bottle fed! I learned early on that humans are just the best and being picked up and held means wonderful things like being fed and cuddled!!

My sister, Sacagawea (that's a mouthful!) and I were rescued from inside a construction machine when we were only 5 days old! Our mommy moved our siblings Teddy Roosevelt and Betsy Ross but didn’t have time to move us before we were discovered.

Teddy and Betsy tease us sometimes because we’re smaller than they are (they had more time with mommy) but we counter with the fact that bottle fed kittens are the BEST so we’re super sweet!!! In fact we just love to be picked up and held and will purr at the drop of a hat!!

We’re known as the “famous people” kittens J And true to our heritage we do love to explore ! Pouncing and playing are too much fun, especially with our humans and of course other kittens!! Do you have toys at your house?

If you’re looking for a fun loving, sweet, cuddly kitten (or 2 !) check us out!

My sister (she has already been adopted) and I were saved from living in a storm drain during one of the coldest months this year. It took a couple of baths to get the dirt out of my fur, but it was worth it ... don't you think I am stunning?

I am pure white with a tiny black smudge on the top of my head, and my thick soft fur will remind you of a rabbit when you pet me.

Since my sister and I lived outside for the first few months of our lives, I can sometimes be a little timid. But once I settle in, I'll just about turn myself inside out making sure that you don't miss a spot when you pet me. I do have a few favorites - which you'll soon learn - scratch my chin and ears and I'll push right into your hand. You'll hear my purr motor kick in and see me prance back and forth to show you how happy I am !

I also love to snuggle - if your lap is available, I'll be in it... I'm a real snuggle puss and will definitely keep you company each night while you watch TV or just relax on the couch. So if you're looking for a lap kitten, I'm for you. And I don't mind sharing .. I get along great with other kitties ! I do need to be honest with you about one thing though - I'm not thrilled with being picked up or held. It still makes me a little nervous and I haven't been able to get past that.

Ash and his siblings Tarzan, Peanut, Spanky, Romeo and Lola were all dumped in 90 degree heat in a sealed black box back by a dumpster at our vet's office. By sheer luck they were discovered just in the nick of time! All of the kittens needed extensive nursing back to health. They are now happy, healthy kittens that are ready for their forever homes!

Little Ash has the most amazing coloring I've ever seen. We've called him a black "smoke" tabby but that description just doesn't do him justice! He is simply stunning.

Ash isn't just a cute kitten with unique coloring - he's also a love-bug! This sweet boy just loves attention of any kind. He enjoys being petted, picked up and held and of course being played with! Ash gets along great with other kittens and I think he would be just fine with 'cat friendly' dogs.

Most people look at Azura and see her beautiful white fur, perhaps they pet her and see how 'rabbit-like' it is....but the really wonderful thing about Azura is her personality. She's a love - in fact Azura adores attention! The more you pet her ...the louder she purrs.

Azura loves to be petted and even picked up and held. She really loves to be around 'her' people. She will sit beside you as well as in your lap...especially if you are giving her lots and lots of attention.

Azura would be fine in a household with one other cat and even a calm dog. A multiple cat household would be too much for her - she likes other kitties but too many are overwhelming to her. Azura would do best in a household without small children.

This beautiful affectionate girl is looking for her forever home - are you the home for her?

Note: Azura gets scared at adoptathons - meeting her in private is recommended. This way you can see her in her own environment and you can see how loving she really is. She is a confident kitty and will adapt very easily to your home. Please give her the chance to get to know you.

Badger is a handsome boy - in fact he looks a lot like his brother Beaver except he's a little darker. He's got a very handsome face (IMO) and distinct striping - if that's not enough you really need to check out his adorable polka-dotted belly!

Badger is one of those 'uncooperative' kittens in terms of picture taking. He's much more interested in playing with his siblings than posing for the camera. Makes for a wonderful fun, playful kitten but a challenging photo shoot! This sweet boy was chasing everything and even trying to play with the camera and my flip-flops! Needless to say he'd love a home with playmates - either people or another kitty! A nice active household would suit him just fine!

Badger loves attention - expect lots of PURRing from him as a 'thank you'!

Beaver is a light grey tabby with a unique look. He has long hair coming out of his really big ears. I'm not sure if his ears will always look large or if he'll 'grow' into them. I think it gives him rather an exotic look.

As you can see from his pictures his cute tabby stripes stand out really well against his light background. What you can't see is how soft his fur is or how much he likes to be petted :-) You also can't hear his wonderful purr but if you come out to meet him at an adoptathon I'm sure he'd be glad to demonstrate it for you!

Beaver is a happy, playful kitten....he loves to roll around with his siblings and chase balls and toys with feathers. While Beaver does enjoy his playtime he also likes to be held.

If you're looking for 2 kittens - Beaver has 3 brothers and 2 sisters that would love to go home with him. If you're looking for a similarly colored 'pair' of kittens - check out Badger he looks just like Beaver except he's a little darker!

My brother, Teddy Roosevelt and I were rescued from a construction machine shop when we were almost a month old. Our mommy had moved us from inside a construction machine just in the nick of time – our 2 sisters Amelia Earhart and Sacagawea weren’t moved 'in time', but luckily some nice people rescued them.

We tease Amelia and Sacagawea because we had more time with mommy (they were rescued when they were only 5 days old) and therefore we’re bigger. But they tell us they had longer with our foster mom and well don’t tell them but that does sound pretty great. We didn’t know it before we were rescued but people are really great! They got to bottle feed longer than we did (that KMR is yummy!)

I adore being held; especially leaning on your shoulder - anything as long as I'm in your arms! I'll also rub around your legs and curl up next to you, looking to have my head and shoulders rubbed - I'm a real love.

In case you haven't noticed I have wonderful soft silky fur (even if I do say so myself)

I'm called BobTale because well, I have a Bobtail but I wasn't born that way so I'm "Bob with a Tale". And don't worry my tail was injured when I was younger, but it's okay...it doesn't hurt me. And it doesn't look 'icky' but if you run your hand down it (go ahead I don't mind) you can feel it's rather twisted and obviously a lot shorter than it should be.

I'd love to be an only kitty - lots of attention just for me. But I do like other kitties they're fun to play with. There are dogs living in my foster home - they're OK but I don't play with them because I've got other foster kitties and humans (!) to play with (that is when I'm not 'busy' lounging around). Yup, I'm a laid back boy who just loves to nap on the bed. Come on by and pet me or rub my tummy - I'm all about that plan. Want to pick me up and cuddle for a bit ? I'd love that!

I'm such a pretty girl - with just a hint of red and blond in my thick coat that sets off my green eyes! Although I am a quiet, non-assuming girl, I CRAVE attention. I love to rub my head against your face - and if you'll gently scratch my shoulders, I'll reward you with lots of loud purrs. Sometimes to get your attention, I'll start to do cute little moves which looks almost like I'm going to stand on my head. Then when you're tired and ready to settle onto the couch for the night, I'll be right by your side - snuggled against your leg .. and please, save a spot in bed for me too ! If you're too busy, I am also great at entertaining myself - especially if you have a window and a birdfeeder. I'm just a very content little girl !

You may notice from my picture that I have a 'notch' in my left ear ... that's because I was trapped when I was a young kitten. When they spayed me, they also marked my ear because they thought I would have to be released back outside. Imagine their surprise when I turned out to be friendly and rubbed my head against theirs. I started to purr and give quiet meows, to thank them for taking such great care of me and to ask for more attention !

Many people would call Callie a calico. In reality she's a 'torbie'. A torbie is a tortoiseshell tabby. I'm sure you can easily see her tortoiseshell coloring but can you spot her tabby stripes? Needless to say she's a beautiful kitten!

Callie is shyer and more reserved than most other kittens. She needs to go to a home that will love her and be patient with her while she adjusts. I think Callie would enjoy a home with another cat or kitten in it.

While she starts out shy and reserved she does like to be held and will even fall asleep in your lap!

Hey hey hey…. Look at me!!! My name is Charlie. I am a beautiful all black cat that LOVES to be pet. You may not see it here, but in my foster home (where I am more comfortable) I follow my parents around and beg for them to rub me. Once they start I roll on my back and have them rub my face, chest, back and stomach! I start to purr and will stay there forever. You should hear my purr, it is so loud…. I love attention! I am very much a cat that likes to be next to my owner. I do well with kids but I am not a big fan of other cats. I love to sleep next to you on the bed or lay between your legs on the couch. When my foster parents are not home, I lay in the sunlight or watch the birds out the window.

Chile Pepper is one hot tamale! He's a fun, playful boy with all of the antics and energy you'd expect from a kitten. Without a doubt the family that adopts him will never lack entertainment!

You might not expect such a happy, active boy to have a quiet loving side but Chile Pepper does. He adores being picked up and held! In fact sometimes I think he'd rather be held than play with his brother and foster siblings.

Chile Pepper gets along well with other kittens especially his brother Chipolte and even with dogs. Have kids? No problem this fearless boy is ready to be played with by one and all!

Technically Chipmunk is a Gray Tabby however he's got a really different look to him. He sort of seems gray with an underlay of beige - ie you can't really see his stripes very well.

Aside from his rather unique look - Chipmunk is a really cool kitten! He purrs A Lot and like his siblings just loves to play! He is also one of those kittens that is completely comfortable laying upside down in your lap and having his belly rubbed :-) I rather suspect that he's going to be a major cuddle bug!

Hi there, my name is Claude. As you can see I am a big boy! I love to lay around and look outside at the birds.

I am a complete love and enjoy being loved on. You can scratch my back or rub my head and watch me roll over and purr. I can't get enough attention!! There is nothing more I enjoy than spending time with people and having us love each other. When I am ready I jump up and will lay in your lap to sleep a bit.

I'm a great companion, and will hang on your every word, purring affectionately. You can almost hear me purring from across the room!

I am a very sweet boy and just want a family to take me home. I will be your forever friend (and be glad to show you) if you would adopt me. Will you pet me and make me your best friend?

One of the first things you will notice about me is how very silky and black my fur is - I just have a small white locket at my throat and pretty yellow eyes. When I was very small, I was one of over thirty kitties that an elderly couple was trying to care for....it became a bit too much for them, so I was trapped and given to my foster mom.

Although I still tend to have a quiet nature, I love attention and playtime. My favorite is to play hide and seek from under the bed and jump out at your feet as you walk by. I also love to curl up by your legs at night, have some one-on-one petting time and fall asleep by you. I have the cutest little squeaky meow that I use to remind you I'm ready for some cuddle time - and your biggest reward will be the loud puurrrr you hear, especially when you scratch my ears and head.

My mom says that I am one of the sweetest kittens she's ever had. Won't you come love on me and give me my forever home ??

Look at this beautiful Grey cat! Her name is Crystal. She is a very loving cat. She loves to walk back and forth and rub up against toes and feet when you sit in a chair. You can scratch her head or pet her as much as you want. She enjoys playing with cat toys (I chase this rubber ball in a round thing and spin it over and over) and gets along well with other cats. She has not quite grown into being a lap cat, but has not had much time to explore people’s laps either.

She loves to look outside, or rub on any catnip toy! Often you can find Crystal looking through the railing of the steps at our house. Her cute little face looking over the edge as people and animals walk by. She is good with kids but is not fond of being picked up and held for long. If you are looking for a loving, sweet cat that will love you back, she is the one!

Have you checked out my 2 different eye colors? Doesn't that give me a unique look? Well here's the good news - that's not even the best thing about me - I'm a total love to boot!

I just adore affection - go ahead pet me! You don't need to stop just keep going. I love that....lots and lots of attention just for me!

Did I mention I'm a Princess? It's true and as a Princess I need lots of attention (oh did I mention that before?)! I like other kitties as long as they respect my princess status. Sometimes I need to hiss at them to remind them of "who" I am. Of course I adore the idea of being an only kitty and having all of the love/ attention lavished upon me.

Can you imagine someone actually left me behind in an apartment? What were they thinking?

If you'd like to take me home and love on me all of the time - just let these nice Hobbes House Folks know! I don't show very well at adoptathons ( kind of scary to me) but they can arrange a private meet and greet in my foster home - there you can see what a wonderful kitty I am!

Gazelle is a beautiful 'unique' dilute tortie. That means instead of the usual tortie coloring she's got lighter colors - her fur is gray and peach! As she gets older the peach will stand out more and more. It's stunning coloring and kind of hard to get a good picture of.

Gazelle is one of those sweet kittens that loves to make biscuits and purr a lot! She's a wonderful girl - playful with her brothers and yet enjoys 'people' company!

If you're looking for a beautiful, playful kitten look no further than our beautiful Gazelle!

Check me out - I'm a handsome gray tabby! Some people might say I'm "just" a tabby but clearly they don't know the secret of the cat world....sssshhhh don't tell everyone but ... Tabbies are the BEST!!

It's true - however we don't want to spread that around too much or else other kitties that aren't tabbies (like my sisters Sunshine - calico, Sugar - dilute torbie and Ginger - torbie) wouldn't get adopted! So let's just keep that between us - OK?

My name is Hunter - I suspect it won't surprise you to learn I like to pounce and play :-) My sister, Sunshine is my 'partner in crime' - we love to play and explore together. People are loads of fun to play with too!

I have such a sweet face... don’t you just love the white locket on my throat ?! I am a beautiful girl who will follow you around so that you can give me lots of attention. I really love gentle head rubs, kisses, full body pets, sitting on your lap and sleeping with you! Nap time or night time, I'm your snuggle girl and love to 'make biscuits' on your lap. How could you resist petting me ... my fur feels like black silk ?! I really am a 'people' kitty and will show you how much I love you by my loud purrrrr! I am not overly fond of other kitties, except for my brother, Martell .. I just don't like the competition for your affection. I do get along great with dogs though - at my foster mom's I actually do 'wheelies' to rub up against their black lab.

I'm also all about play time - catnip toys, chasing a bell ball and my all time favorite, running after a laser light. Don't you have a spot in your house for me - I'm such a love of a girl !

I know, you must be saying “that’s a big cat “! In my previous home I was free fed and ate all day long. As much as I enjoyed it, I am now in the process of dropping weight. I have lost 2 lbs. and working on losing more. I love living in my foster home. I get to run around the house and play with all the toys! I have little toy mice, this thing with a feather on it, and something with a mouse on a stick!

I LOVE attention. I lay down and wait for humans to pet and rub me. There is nothing better than having humans rub my face, head and back. I get along great with other cats and don’t mind being held at all.

When human companions are not around I love to jump up in a cat climber and look at the window. Don’t let my size fool you, I can get around and jump high!

A side note - we rescued Little Cloud when she was a tiny 2 week old bottle feeding kitten! She was adopted as a kitten and then returned to us (the young girl in the house 'lost interest' ). Bottle fed kitties are really wonderful cats!

I've been in rescue for some time now, and while I love each and every one of my fosters, some are just extra special to me. Livingston is just such a foster. He came in with 3 siblings all of whom adjusted more quickly than he did. Livingston was on the shy side. It's so amazing to see him today. He's gone from hiding behind the toilet to jumping on my lap while I'm on the computer and refusing to take no for an answer. I find myself loving on him simply stunned at how far he's come and trying to explain (to him) that I need to get the website updated ....to which he responds by helpfully sits on my computer table within easy petting range. Such a smart boy!

Livingston really likes to have his head scratched, his tummy rubbed and to be petted in general - he is 'all about' affection. In fact you'll often find him rubbing up against your legs 'hinting' for more lovin'! Expect lots of PURRING from this sweet boy. And he likes to be picked up and held - what more can you ask for in a kitty?!

Livingston will probably take longer than the average kitty to feel comfortable in a new home. He needs a family that is patient and willing to give him all of the time he needs to feel 'at home'. Livingston would prefer a home without small children. IMO he would run from them - a bit too active for his taste.

Livingston gets along well with other kitties, although I think he would be very happy as an only kitty. He's not afraid of our dog or puppy at all!

Let me be blunt - I'm looking for a lap to fill. That's right, I want someone to let me sit in their lap and love on me. I love to be petted and have my head scratched. Sometimes I'll rub up against you to remind you that I need petting.

I'm an adorable small cat, with a really slender tail - it kind of gives me a unique look :-)

I really like dogs (even the crazy 50 lb puppy that lives in my house) and I like other kitties - even if they're in 'my' lap. You see I'm a sweet kitty that doesn't want to cause any trouble. If someone else is sitting in my human's lap I'll just curl up next to the other kitty or right up against my human's leg. Anything to be close to people.

I like everyone even kids! So if you've got an empty lap that needs filling ... look no further - I'm your gal!

I am such a handsome boy and just like my sister Justine, I have a white locket on my throat. Some people tell me that I'm a big boy since I am fairly long and tall. But, please don't let my size fool you, I am just a gentle loving boy who is a purrrrrr machine! I am always happy, whether I'm watching the birds from the window, sitting on your lap or cuddling with you at nap time! If you'll scratch my head and ears, I'll even help you find the best spots by leaning into your hand. My favorite toys are a fuzzy mouse, catnip toys and a laser light. I love chasing after them when you play with me. I also love to run after a ball, hide in boxes, and chase after a string toy. Can't you find it in your heart to bring me home and love me forever?

Merlin just loves attention. You name it (in terms of affection) and he is all for it.

Look no further than Merlin! He adores attention and will seek it (and you) out.

He enjoys being held anyway (normally or like a baby), having his head scratched and just spending time with you.

Merlin and his brother, King Arthur get along with everyone - small children, our dogs and other kitties.

It's hard to get a good picture of Merlin - he always wants to be with me not a few feet away getting his photograph taken! You can't see it very well in his pictures but he's got really unique patches of white fur mixed in with his black coat.

Cute Nacoma looks like a 'bobtail' or a 'manx' in fact she's neither at least not by birth. She came in with a severely injured tail that had to be amputated. As a result she's got an adorable little tiny tail. It's SO cute!

You can see by her pictures (I think she should be a model - she's so cute and photogenic!) she's got stunning markings! But that's not all.... Nacoma has a great personality as well. She loves attention and will purr like mad to 'reward' you! She enjoys being picked up and held and even cuddling. Of course she's a kitten too so she loves to pounce and play - either with you or with other kittens.

Hello. My name is Rosella (but you can call me Rosie) and I am the sweetest kitty ever. I am a very special girl. I have 4 white paws and a white chest and tummy...but the rest of me is a diluted torbie - I am truly beautiful!

I LOVE attention. I have very loud purrs and I will snuggle very closely with you. I have also started a new trick with my foster mom that I like to do...sometimes when she's sitting on the couch, I like to sit on her shoulders and get my face just as close to hers as I possibly can. I will even give you sweet nibble kisses ever so gently just to tell you how much I like you. Naturally I'm a lap kitty - I like nothing better than to cuddle up on you.

This next part is kind of sad ... when I was found, my collar was growing into the fur on my neck - I was abandoned, alone and hungry...but still so very sweet! As you can see by my 'pink ribbon', I am a survivor of cancer. During my spay surgery, they found a small mass, and although they don't really call it breast cancer when found in kitties, that's what it was. The surgeon did a great job in getting the tumor ... it was on the small side (less than 1 cm) which is good for my prognosis. They also verified that the area around the tumor was cancer free, so they were sure they removed it all. Although they can't guarantee that the cancer won't return, the fact that it was small and completely removed do side in my favor.

I will make you a wonderful new friend and companion. Please give me a chance. You will be so glad you did!

Hello, allow me to introduce myself I am "Sir Hunter". I was just 'Hunter' until I came into Hobbes House, they already had a Hunter in their program so I was knighted so to speak!

My former family was in the military - they were transferred overseas and couldn't take me with them :-( It's all a bit confusing to me. I like my foster home, but I do miss my family. My foster dad, Dan is a nice guy but he keeps taking me out to adoptathons and they're no fun!

So I'm searching for a new forever family. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm a great cat, if I do say so myself. I love attention, I'll purr quite happily when you are loving on me - I just adore being petted. I also love to rub my face against yours. Want to pick me up and carry me around - that's great - it means more attention for me!

I get along really well with people (of course) and other cats. My previous family had small children - they liked to pick me up and carry me around - which is fine by me. I like kids.

Overall I'm a very sweet boy, a total love in fact. So ... are you my future forever family? If so please hurry up and adopt me, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go home!

Beautiful Snickerdoodle is a stunning tortie. She's almost golden in color! Snickerdoodle has a long body and tail giving you the long lean impression. She has all black whiskers except for one white one. I know it sounds like a strange thing to mention but it's really quite cute to see that single white whisker on her !

Snickerdoodle isn't just a beautiful kitty - she's got a great personality to match. Snickers (as we call her around the house) is a smart kitty she's figured out how to position herself to get the most attention. She loves to be petted and will make sure she's in a good 'spot' so you can conveniently love on her. If I'm petting another kitty she'll run on over to join in. If I'm walking around the bedroom she'll hop up onto the bed so it's 'easier' for me to pet her. Smart girl!

Snickers loves other kitties and likes to be loved on by anyone with a hand. She is however a little slower to adjust to new surroundings. Once she feels at home you can see what a love she is. Sometimes kitties that adjust slower make the best friends!!

So if you have room in your heart and your home for this sweet girl - let us know! We'd love to introduce you.

Hello, my name is Snow White. I have two brothers Hocus Pocus and Abracadabra. If you're looking for a pair of kittens - Hocus Pocus and I make a stunning couple!

As you can see from my pictures I'm quite photogenic! I'm all white except for this funny little gray smudge on my head. My foster mom says it looks like someone took a paintbrush and just ran it across one time by accident! I think it gives me a really unique look!

I'm more than just a beautiful kitten. I'm fun, playful and affectionate too. A lot of white kitties seem to be on they shy side - not me! I love attention! In fact I adore being picked up and held. Hold me, love me then let's play!!!

I get along well with other kitties and have been introduced to dogs. Kids are pretty cool to hang out with - they like to play with me which is GREAT!

Tarzan and his siblings Ash, Peanut, Spanky, Romeo and Lola were all dumped in 90 degree heat in a sealed black box back by a dumpster at our vet's office. By sheer luck they were discovered just in the nick of time! All of the kittens needed extensive nursing back to health. They are now happy, healthy kittens that are ready for their forever homes!

Tarzan is a playful kitten and quite the climber! In fact we took him out to his first adoptathon and he was the one climbing the inside of the cage and sometimes even dangling from it. He's an outgoing love of a boy!

You might notice in his pictures that his left eye looks a bit 'funny'. It's got some scar tissue from a previous eye infection. He can still see out of it but not as well as out of his other eye. However let me tell you it doesn't slow him down one bit!

Tika is a stunning dilute calico who just loves attention. From day one she was a total love! When she came in she was very pregnant – she’s done a great job raising her babies and now she’s ready for a home of her own!

Tika likes to be picked up and held and will hang out with you endlessly if you love on her! Tika will even let kids pick her up and carry her around. She’s just a great cat!

My sister, Betsy Ross and I were rescued from a construction machine shop when we were almost a month old. Our mommy had moved us from inside a construction machine just in the nick of time – our 2 sisters Amelia Earhart and Sacagawea weren’t moved in time but luckily some nice people rescued them.

As you can see from her pictures Topaz is just too cute! Her beautiful tortie coloring and her tabby stripes give her that unique torbie look.

Topaz came into our program as a young kitten. She loves attention - anytime I go near her she stands up and wants me to pet her. In fact she loves it so much her long slender tail quivers with excitement and she rewards me with a wonderful PURR! Topaz seeks out attention when she really wants it - she'll hop up onto my computer desk and walk back and forth while I pet her. And if I'm going upstairs she'll position herself at the bottom so I can pet her and then when I start to walk up the stairs she'll run up ahead of me and stop at the top so I can pet her some more.

Topaz loves other kitties and gets along well with our dog. She will compete with other kitties for your attention.

Topaz is a love of a kitty who needs a home that will appreciate her for who she is - a cat who loves affection and wants (even craves) to be pet but not picked up or held.
