Age/DOB: 3-12-2022 Hi! I'm Martini, one of the Cocktails litter from Purrs & Whiskers! I'm a sweet, but quirky little guy who has learned that indoor life is pretty good! Free food, no predators, no rain...! A pretty good gig, I must say! I'm a master litter box user and love naps in my comfy cat bed! My foster mom says I'm quirky because I like it best when you pet me up on a high place like a cat tree or bathroom counter. Not sure why, but I just don't stay on the floor to be pet. I'm just weird like that. I love wand toys, catnip and the whole gamut of toys and I like to stay busy! I probably need a friend to help keep me out of trouble - it can be human, cat, whatever. Since my littermates were adopted, I've spent much of my time w/ my foster mom.  I make sure she stays safe whenever she's home  I escort her to the "ladies room"'and I make sure she doesn't get sucked down the drain when she uses all the water things in there! And I'm always telling her it's bedtime because I love to snuggle on the bed. Hoping someone in my furever home likes to snuggle w/ a kitty like me!  If you think I'm the right kitty for you and you are my furever home, fill out an app and let's see how it goes!! If you want to know a little about my history, read on! I come from a litter of 4 kittens. We are all just gorgeous! I am a handsome vibrant orange and white tabby kitten and my brother, Mojito, is an amazing cream with white markings. My sisters are pretty spectacular as well – my sister, Mai, is a light colored torbi and my other sister, Tai, is a really cool looking calico with very dark black and vibrant orange and white colors! They have all been adopted. My mom is a feral kitty that lives near this lady’s house. She would put food out for a few of us that would come around and that made us all happy. However, once she saw us show up, she knew an indoor life would be better than living in the woods with all the potential dangers lurking around. So she called Purrs & Whiskers to trap us and find us homes. So here I am, the last of the litter, waiting for that special someone or family to choose me to be their furever companion! I am spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/ FeLV, microchipped, dewormed, treated with Revolution, and am up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines.

Age/DOB: 7-18-2013 Hi there! My name is Pyewacket. I am a 9 year old fabulous tabby and white kitty who is seeking a new fur-ever home ♥ (I’m a tad chonky but I’m working on that). Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born outdoors and as a kitten I was taken in by a really sweet lady. She noticed that I had an issue with one of my back legs and took me to the vet. The vet wanted to amputate my leg, but she would not let them. The vet said I have a “dropped hock” and that that was what was causing me to have a sore by my “heel”. Fast forward a number of years and my caretaker and I both aged and learned to work with my leg. However, my human became frail and could no longer take care of me. My human had a friend whose daughter works with a fabulous place that could take me in and help me try to find a new place where I could be the queen of a castle, as I’m used to being. Purrs & Whiskers took me to the vet, had bloodwork done to make sure I was healthy and had my teeth cleaned. The bloodwork showed that I needed to be taking Thyroid medication. I’m such a good girl when taking my AM/ PM meds. There’s no fussing at all! I hear the people who care for me discussing what a good girl I am and that the thyroid medication is SO affordable. I don’t understand what $10/ month means, but it must be good. Then my new rescue friends set out on a mission to try to figure out how to make my “heel” less sore. They consulted a few veterinarians and a place called DogLeggs and developed a plan! The great people and DogLeggs made a custom heel protector for me called a hock sock. They even had an extra one made so there would be a back up in case one needed washing. In the mornings and evenings my rescue friends put padding in the inside of my hock sock so when I jump down from the bed I don’t get a heel sore. I’ve never felt so good and I’m ready to live my best life in a great new home. While I did not live around dogs, one of my kitty-sitter's house has a big, 70# gentle pup and I do not react to her.  I'm OK with a passive cat that doesn't want to get in my face or play, but am purrfectly happy being the an only kitty.  I also haven't been around kids, so I’m thinking I’d prefer to be the one-and-only fur or 2-legged kid in my new home. I do enjoy cuddles & head scritches, sleeping in bed with you, being brushed and soaking up sun beams. When no one is watching I sneak in a romping or two with catnip toys too! I have a lot of life and love left in me… I hope you’ll give me a chance to show you how much!  OH... and did I mention how much I LOVE Churu kitty treats??  Nom nom nom! I have had a full geriatric blood panel and a dental cleaning. I take a thyroid medication twice a day and don't mind that at all! I am also spayed, tested negative for FIV/ FeLV, microchipped, dewormed, treated with Revolution, and am up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines.

Age/DOB: 7-14-2021 HI, I’m Tsunami! I’m part of the “Naturals” litter (Me, Typhoon, Tornado, Hurricane and Monsoon)! So far Hurricane, Tornado and Monsoon have been adopted and now I’m hoping it’s my turn. My littermates and I came to Purrs & Whiskers (P&W) a little later than most kittens (4/5 mons old), so we have had a bit of a long road adjusting to life inside as far as getting comfortable with hoomans goes. We are all sweet cats, certified as Master Litter Box users, and definitely love a good Churu cat treat. I am a bit shy – my foster mom calls me a “decoration kitty” because I am beautiful and look amazing with my long hair wherever I am – but I am still learning to trust being “boldly” approached by you hooman types! I love to be pet, but I’m always a little suspicious as to why you want to touch me all the time! So, usually I prefer you do that when I’m in my cat tree or window hammock. I don’t bite, scratch or hiss, I just kind of slink away. I’m in with Typhoon and another sweet kitty, Pumpkin, right now, so they are my best buds and help build my confidence. But if it’s dinner time, trust me,my confidence is all there and I’m there and looking at you with my soulful eyes, ready to eat! If I were to picture my purrfect home, it would be a quiet home with some empty nesters or a single person that doesn’t have small children in his/her future plans.  I would probably be fine with other cats (I am fostered with several right now, but mostly Pumpkin & Typhoon) and maybe a dog or two (if they aren’t too rambunctious). I know it’s asking a lot for someone to take a serious look at me to be part of their family, but my foster mom thinks that in the right home, I will flourish and be that kitty you would love to have! If you think you are that person or couple that would be willing to take a chance on me, please fill out an app and let’s see how it goes!! I’m really hoping for a furever home so I can finally be settled, happy and in my furever home for the holidays! I am spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/ FeLV, microchipped, dewormed, treated with Revolution, and am up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines.

Age/DOB: 4-1-2021 HI, I’m Typhoon! I’m part of the “Naturals” litter (Me, Tsunami, Tornado, Hurricane and Monsoon)! So far Hurricane, Tornado and Monsoon have been adopted and now I’m hoping it’s my turn. My littermates and I came to Purrs & Whiskers (P&W) a little later than most kittens (4/5 mons old), so we have had a bit of a long road adjusting to life inside when it comes to living with hoomans. We are all sweet cats, certified as Master Litter Box users, and definitely love a good Churu cat treat. I am a bit shy & a little quirky, but a sweet girl just the same. Like my sister, Tsunami, I am still learning to trust being “boldly” approached by you hooman types, but I am constantly close to my foster mom when she is around! I always have to sniff her shoes before she comes into our room ! =) I love to be pet, but I’m super cautious about letting hoomans do that! However, if it’s time to eat or you have my favorite treat, then you can certainly pet me and even get a head bump or two from me. I don’t bite, scratch or hiss, I just kind of hang in the background hoping I’ll have the courage to let you pet me. There are a few other foster kitties with me right now and they are much more outgoing than I am, so they are always vying for attention, and that makes me a bit nervous. But if it’s dinner time, trust me, I’m there and looking at you and telling you I am ready to eat! My purrfect home would be with Tsunami and it would be a quiet home with some empty nesters or a single person that doesn’t have small children in his/her immediate future plans. I don’t have to have a kitty friend, but it is always nice to have someone around who “speaks your language”! I would be fine with other cats as long as we have proper introductions (I am fostered with several right now) and maybe a dog or two (if they aren’t too rambunctious). I know it’s asking a lot for someone to take a serious look at me to be part of their family or be their companion, but my foster mom thinks that in the right home, I will flourish and be that kitty you would love to have! If you think you are that person or couple that would be willing to take a chance on me, please fill out an app and so you can meet me!! I’m really hoping for a furever home so I can finally be settled, happy and home for the holidays! I am spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/ FeLV, microchipped, dewormed, treated with Revolution, and am up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines.
