Gray and Brown Tabbies
of Hobbes House
(listed alphabetically)
Tabbies sometimes seem to be everywhere they're just a popular cat coloring. In fact many people cannot imagine their house without a tabby cat in it! There are 4 basic types of Tabby Patterns. Classic (whorls ending in a 'target' on the side of the cat), Mackerel (striped), Spotted and Agouti (ticked).
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!

Betsy Ross
Domestic Short Hair - Brown Tabby
Female
Estimated Date of Birth March 26, 2008
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!)
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!! Teddy is more cuddly than I am - I have an independent streak just like my historical human!
If you’re looking for a fun loving, sweet, cuddly kitten (or 2 !) check us out!

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)!

Domestic Short Hair - Gray Tabby
Female
Estimated Date of Birth February 28, 2006
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 !
Please won't you give me a chance to show you how much love I have to give?

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!

Eve
Domestic Short Hair - Brown Tabby
Female
Date of Birth April 14, 2002
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!

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.

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
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.

Marshmallow
Domestic Short Hair - Gray and White Tabby
Female
Estimated Date of Birth March 22, 2007
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!

Nacoma
Domestic Short Hair - Tabby
Female
Date of Birth April 18, 2008
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.
If you're interested in this sweet little girl just let us know!

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!

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!
