Amelia Earhart

Domestic Short Hair - Black
Female
Estimated Date of Birth March 26, 2008
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!

BobTale

Domestic Short Hair - Black with White Locket
Male
Estimated Date of Birth March 28, 2007
I am a handsome boy and I have a great personality to match.
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!

Charlie

Domestic Short Hair - Black
Male
Estimated Date of Birth October 16, 2005
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.
Charlie is a wonderful cat who is loving and a great companion. Whether its sleeping in the sun or beside you on the couch, he is a great companion.More Pictures of Charlie
Chimney Sweep

Domestic Medium Hair - Black Smoke
Male
Estimated Date of Birth March 16, 2008
Chimney Sweep and his beautiful sister Mary Poppins were rescued from a storm gutter. They came in as little bottle feeders. You'd never guess it today but Chimney Sweep was very reluctant to give up his bottle!
Chimney Sweep is a medium to long haired all black boy. He's very 'fluffy' so it's hard to tell how long his fur is going to be.
Chimney Sweep is a sweet cuddly boy. Like many bottlefeeders he just loves to be picked up and held and around people. He adores being petted and of course he's a playful one. If it 'needs' to be pounced on he's more than happy to 'help' you out. However given a choice between pouncing and cuddling with people he'll generally choose to cuddle!
Chimney Sweep gets along well with other kitties and shows no fear of our dogs. He's also great with children.
If you're looking for a sweet, fluffy, cuddly boy - I highly recommend Chimney Sweep!

Colette

Domestic Short Hair - Black with small white locket
Female
Estimated Date of Birth May 13, 2006
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 ??

Hocus Pocus - Adoption Pending!

Domestic Short Hair - Black
Male
Date of Birth April 16, 2008
Hello, my name is Hocus Pocus. As you can see from my pictures I'm a beautiful all black boy! I hear black kitties have a harder time getting adopted. Luckily for me I'm filled with personality so I'm sure I'll charm my way into a home!
I have a brother Abracadabra and a sister Snow White. If you're looking for a pair of kittens - Snow White and I make a stunning couple!
My siblings and I are all total loves. We adore being picked up and held (and we'll purr for you no problem!). While we love attention we also love to pounce and play - we are kittens after all !
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!
So if you're looking for a handsome, fun, loving kitten to add some charm and excitement to your household....just let me know!

Justine

Domestic Short Hair - Black with White Locket
Female
Estimated Date of Birth March 6, 2005
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 !

Martell

Domestic Short Hair - Black with White Locket
Male
Estimated Date of Birth March 6, 2005
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 - Adoption Pending!

Domestic Short Hair - Black
Male
Estimated Date of Birth October 1, 2007
Merlin just loves attention. You name it (in terms of affection) and he is all for it.
Want a kitty you can pick up and carry around?
One who loves to cuddle with you in your lap or in bed?
Perhaps one the kids can pick up and love on anytime?
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 gets 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.

Spanky

Domestic Medium Hair - Black
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 15, 2008
Spanky and his siblings Tarzan, Peanut, Ash, 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!
Spanky is a medium haired all black (with just a touch of 'smoke') kitten. Like the other kittens in his litter he enjoys playing and pouncing and just adores attention. Spanky is one of those kittens that just took to the idea of having his picture taken - can you tell he's posing for the camera? That was in between begging for attention! He just loves, loves, loves to be petted!
If you're looking for a really friendly, cute fluffy kitten - do come meet our Spanky!

Teddy Roosevelt

Domestic Short Hair - Black
Male
Estimated Date of Birth March 26, 2008
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.
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!)
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!! I’m more cuddly than Betsy is – like her her historical human she’s more independent!
