Male Kitties
of Hobbes House
(listed alphabetically)
People wonder which is better to adopt a male or a female cat.
Some worry about spraying with males - I'll put that 'fear' to rest early on - if a male is neutered when he's young spraying is generally not a problem.
Back to the topic at hand....I once saw a survey - people were asked which sex was more affectionate - 50 % voted for males - 45% for females (I guess the other 5% were confused or unable to decide)! Which just shows what I believe - both sexes are wonderful. Adopt the cat that you bond with!
Also people wonder about which sex to adopt if they already have a cat. I haven't seen any studies but I know this - 2 female cats, 2 male cats or one of each all work really well in a household if each cat likes other cats and of course if a 'proper' introduction is done.
Looking for a particular cat of ours and can't find it? He or she was probably adopted - check out our new Adopted Kitties page!
Abracadabra
Domestic Short Hair - Black and White
Male
Date of Birth April 16, 2008
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!

Ash
Domestic Short Hair - Black "Smoke" Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 15, 2008
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.

Badger
Domestic Short Hair - Gray Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 1, 2008
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
Domestic Short Hair - Gray Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 1, 2008
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!

Bobbidi - Adoption Pending!
Domestic Medium Hair - Tabby
Male
Date of Birth March 23, 2008
Bobbidi is of course part of our adorable "Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo" trio. They were born on Easter Day. We rescued them on Tuesday March 25th - all of 2 days old! They were briefly bottefed and then we trapped their mommy (Sweet Josephine) and reunited the family.
Bobbidi as you can see is quite a handsome tabby boy!
Bobbidi is a typical kitten adventurous and ready for anything. After all aren't toys, pieces of fluff and just about anything lying around just there for kitten entertainment and 'pouncing practice' ? Like his brother Boo, he alternates between cuddly and playful. He's spent basically his whole life around people so he's quite at home being picked up / carried around and even held like a baby.
Such a sweet kitten!! As you can see he had no trouble showing off for the camera (as long as I was petting him or holding him that is)!

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
Chile Pepper
Domestic Short Hair - Orange Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth April 18, 2008
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!

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 bottlefeeders. 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!

Chipmunk
Domestic Short Hair - Gray Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 1, 2008
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!

Claude
Domestic Short Hair - Black and White
Male
Estimated Date of Birth October 12, 2005
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 like playing with other cats and am OK with dogs!
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?

Forrest
Domestic Medium Hair - Tabby with White
Male
Estimated Date of Birth April 24, 2008
Forrest is one handsome boy! He's a darker colored tabby with white feet and some white on his face. He looks a lot like his brother Juniper except Forrest has more white on him. What really makes both of them striking is their medium length fur and longer hair in their ears. They are just so CUTE! You'll notice they both have big ears (Juniper's look a bit bigger to me) and almost a triangular shaped face with a slender body - rather a unique look.
Forrest and his siblings Cedar and Juniper were rescued when they were close to 8 weeks old. They came in scared but have made a lot of progress.
Forrest tends to follow his brother Juniper no matter what's going on. If Juniper wants to be petted - Forrest will come over too. If Juniper plays with a new toy and it all 'goes well' Forrest is willing to give it a try. Forrest isn't a leader kitten right now - I don't think he'll ever be a 'dominant' boy. If he's adopted alone I think he will come into his own over time.
Forrest does love attention - he adores having his head and back scratched!
Forrest is great with other kitties, but would probably run from small children.

Hershey's Kiss
Domestic Medium Hair - Black and White
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 2, 2007
Hershey's Kiss (check out the shape on his nose) is as sweet as his namesake. He's a cuddly boy that just loves attention!
Hershey (as we call him around the house) loves other kitties, doesn't mind our dog and even likes kids. He's an outgoing laid back love of a boy!
Hershey just adores being picked up and held - in fact he puts his arms around your neck and then sort of melts into you when you're holding him. It's a wonderful feeling that will warm your heart every time you pick him up.
Expect Hershey to come running whenever you want to love on him - he's motivated by attention.
Hershey is long and lean - so he's not going to be a big kitty - he's full grown already. If you're looking for a petite love, who likes to be held and adores attention in general - look no further than this handsome boy!

Hunter
Domestic Short Hair - Gray Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth April 1, 2008
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!
If you're looking for a really great kitten - check me out!!!
Juniper - Adopted!
Domestic Medium Hair - Tabby with White
Male
Estimated Date of Birth April 24, 2008
Juniper is one handsome boy! He's a darker colored tabby with white feet and a little white area on his face. What really makes him striking is his medium length fur and longer hair in his ears. He's just so CUTE! You'll notice he's got big ears and almost a triangular shaped face with a slender body - rather a unique look.
His pictures don't do him justice the camera scared him a bit so I cheated and took these pictures right after he was neutered so he was a bit on the woozy side.
Juniper and his siblings Cedar and Forrest were rescued when they were close to 8 weeks old. They came in scared but have made a lot of progress.
Juniper is the most outgoing of his litter followed closely by Forrest. He wants to check out whatever is new and exciting. Juniper doesn't rush right in - he likes to watch something first then make a 'judgment' call as to whether to 'take the plunge' or not.
Juniper approaches me happily for affection. He loves to be petted and doesn't mind being carried around for brief periods. Juniper loves to play with his siblings and his toys!
Juniper is great with other kitties but would probably run from small children.

Livingston
Domestic Short Hair - Gray and White
Male
Estimated Date of Birth June 6, 2007
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!
Are you the PURRfect home for this sweet handsome boy?

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 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.

Sir Hunter
Domestic Short Hair - Brown Tabby with White
Male
Estimated Date of Birth October 14, 2004
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!

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!

Tarzan
Domestic Short Hair - Gray Tabby
Male
Estimated Date of Birth May 15, 2008
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!

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