Ace (JAMC-C-8904)

Ace and Samuel are the sweetest brothers, now 15 months old. They have been with Adopt-A-Pet since they were teeny babies. Due to the glut of kittens in the summer season, Ace and Samuel have literally grown up in their foster home, being constantly passed over in favor of other kittens. Their crime? Their color. Ace and Samuel suffer from what is known in the animal shelter world as Black Cat Syndrome. What this means is that black cats are the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized in pounds all over the country. Of course, Ace and Samuel's lives are not at risk since they are in Adopt-A-Pet's care. In that sense they are the lucky ones. But, Ace and Samuel really need to find their forever homes!

Ace is a sleek black and Samuel is black and white, both are short-haired. Their wonderful foster mom has this to say about them:

They are quite the definition of brotherly love: they play, wrestle and groom each other when not napping or being curious about what our family is doing. They curl up with our daughter at night and in the morning patiently wait for her or another family member to wake up. Sometimes they will sit on your lap but more usually want to be near us. They love having their bellies rubbed and call to us when they want some attention. They are truly bonded and would be heartbroken if separated. Ace and Samuel would love to live together in a forever home with children and activity so they can be a part of it! Therefore, if you are looking for a sweet pair, here they are!

Ace's adoption fee of $100 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Archimedes (KS-C-9069)

New Arrival!!

My name is Archimedes. I’m a handsome medium-haired orange tabby boy with a huge personality to boot. I’m super friendly and love to talk to my foster parents to let them know when I’m hungry or when I’d love to be picked up. I really enjoy being held and purr loudly to let you know I’m happy.

I have a lot of fun playing with the other foster cats in my house, but LOVE playing with my older foster sister, Fuzzball, the best. We’d love to go home together! I’m also really comfortable around my 100-lb foster dog, too!

I’m an easygoing soul that loves to explore. I also love curling up and napping on my foster mom’s lap. Once you meet me, I know you’ll want me to come home with you!

Archimedes' adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Archimedes' estimated date of birth is: 3/23/10

Blitzen (VWAL-C-9029)

Hi, I'm Blitzen, I'm a handsome male black tuxedo kitten, all dressed up and nowhere to go! I'm the strongest of all my siblings! I love to be pet and will climb in your lap and fall asleep. I love to play with everyone, but especially Dasher. I'm adventurous and like to explore. I'm even good with dogs! Santa rescued us during the holiday time and brought us to Adopt-A-Pet to take care of us until we were big and strong enough to be adopted into our forever homes. So now it's time . . . Come meet me and I know you will decide that you just can't live without me!

Blitzen's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, microchip, deworming and neutering.

Blitzen's estimated date of birth is 11-20-09.

Boston Blackie (HAWK-C-9079)

Hi, my name is Boston Blackie, and I am the cutest kitten ever! I'm the one with the attitude, as you can see from my pictures. But, I'm also the most lovable - my purr is so loud I sometimes sound like an outboard boat motor. That is how you can tell I am happy. I am usually found sleeping in the laundry basket. I don't know why I am so attracted to it, but I am. I hope I don't end up in the wash machine! I'm best buddies with my brother Mask, and it would be awesome if we could go to our forever home together. If you're looking for a fun-loving couple o' guys to liven up your household, here we are!

Boston's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Boston's estimated date of birth is 3/1/10

Chester (IK-C-9035)

Chester is a gorgeous and petite pumpkin orange tabby with the softest fur in town, estimated to be 3 years old and is 2-paw declawed, much smaller in person than his photos make him look. He is a sweet boy who would prefer to be your one and only cat but would tolerate another calm cat. He transitions somewhat slowly to his new environment, but once he is settled he does just fine and loves to sit next to you on the couch, follow you around and to pounce and play with catnip and jingly toys like a kitten. Chester has grown more brave since he’s come to his foster home, and now likes to greet people at the front door. He has been a purring motorboat when he gets petted and can be somewhat talkative. He shows more and more personality every day but does not like to be picked up. His foster mom is impressed with his obedience as he left her assortment of plants alone after only having to tell him no twice. Chester will make an excellent companion for a single person or childless couple.

Chester's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering. Chester is also 2-paw declawed.

Fluffy (DMC-C-9064)

As friendly as they come! Fluffy is a soft, brown/gray tabby boy who loves to play and cuddle with his person and his siblings. A typical active, curious kitten, he is a good jumper and explorer and will keep you entertained with his cute kitten antics for hours! He also is a great cuddler and will purr as soon as you pick him up. Come meet this little fellow and fall in love!

Fluffy's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, first FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Fluffy's estimated date of birth is 4/6/10.

 

Fred (TMP-C-9084)

Fred is a wonderful orange and white medium-haired male, about 6 years old. He is front-paw declawed. Fred's elderly owner had to enter a nursing home after suffering a broken hip, having to leave her beloved Fred behind. Fred and his "siblings" were left alone in the home for the last 6 months in the hopes that their mom would be able to return after rehab, but unfortunately that is not to be. So Fred is now on a mission to find a new family willing to give him a new life and a loving home. Though currently a bit traumatized at his ordeal, he is a sweet, deserving boy that will re-acclimate just given a little time.

Fred is currently sporting his shaved summer "do" because he was quite matted, so his new family will have to make sure he is regularly groomed. Fred is used to other cats (and used to live with a dog too) and will fit in perfectly in a multi-pet household.

If you are looking for a calm, mature and very handsome boy to add to your family, please consider Fred! Fred's prior owner has just celebrated her 90th birthday, and she would like no better present than to know that Fred is being taken care of and loved.

Fred's adoption fee of $100 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, and neutering. Fred is 2-paw declawed.

 

Harry (HAWK-C-9080)

New Arrival!!

I'm Harry - if you'll pardon the pun! I'm a fabulous longhaired gray tabby kitten. When I first got to my foster home I was shy at first, but it only took a couple of days for me to warm up to my new surroundings. It was a bit scary at first since I was never exposed to those big creatures called dogs! Now they think I am the boss. One of the dogs in my temporary home thinks she is my mother. (I let her think so just so she will get off my back.) My foster mom often calls me her little Cupie doll, but I am a boy. What gives? I would fit in nicely in any home needing a little beautification. How about yours?

Harry's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Harry's estimated date of birth is 3/20/10

Jackson  (JKH-C-9046)

Adopted!!

Jackson is a sweet "teenage" kitten, about 9 to 11 months in age. He's a very handsome tabby tuxedo with the cutest little white socks! He's a friendly, outgoing boy that enjoys the company of others, both human and feline. Jackson is extremely high energy and needs a home that can keep up with his crazy antics. Another young energetic kitty companion to play with is a must.

Jackson's adoption fee of $125 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, flea preventative, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Jimbo (JL-C-9053)

"I just love playing with my Sister Penny!"

Hi, I'm Jimbo! I'm an ADORABLE short-haired black & white tuxedo kitten with the cutest white paws & whiskers. My favorite things to do are cuddle on your lap, play with toys and wrestle with my sister Penny. I'm real friendly to everyone, and used to dogs too. Please come meet me and adopt me with my sister or another friendly cat - I just know you will fall in love with me the minute you see me!

Jimbo's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.

He loves to sit on your lap and has a beautiful soft coat for your petting enjoyment. Joey is a 3-4 year old, front-declawed orange & white tabby with a super sweet personality. He is quite bonded with his foster brother, Josiah: he told us he would love be adopted into the same home with Josiah. Joey is also fine with dogs.

3-14-09

3-14-09

Josiah is a young, front-declawed, Adonis-type hunk that we believe to be about 1.5 -2 years old. He's gorgeous, sleek and solid black (except for one white whisker!) This fellow is a stitch...so funny, lively and animated. He's got a personality to beat the band ... not shy at all, loves to meet dogs and actually thinks he is one. He's just a blast to have around. He loves to do office work ... he's one who will investigate whatever you're working on, so if you're a work-at-home person, get ready for a little office helper! He is good buddies with his foster roommate, Joey, and we would love to see them be adopted together. It's not mandatory, but, since he is so playful he would need to have the company of another rambunctious kitty to wrestle around with - so if you already have a kitty at home looking for a playmate, Josiah's your guy! Or adopt him and his pal, Joey, and you'll have a ready-made family. Also, if you really would like a dog, but are not able to have one - again - Josiah's your guy!

Josiah's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia and FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Kendall (MS-C-9063)

Adopted!!!

Kendall is a 1-2 year old extremely handsome tabby boy medium-haired with a gorgeous plume tail. He is soooo very friendly and the definition of "lap cat." He is amazing with children (and adults) and even gets along with other cats nicely. It's a pretty safe bet to assume he'd be fine with nice dogs, too. Kendall's two favorite things are looking out the window and being stroked by a human. If you're looking for an all-around nice kitty, Kendall is the one for you!

Kendall's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Loco (CG-C-9054)

Loco is a handsome little tuxedo boy, all dressed up in his white shirt and gloves - just waiting for you to take him to the gala! The more rambunctious of the pair, he loves to hide in his fort and jump out at his sister. When he's tired, he cuddles with his foster mom, is very affectionate and loves to purr. He's very people-oriented, follows his foster mom everywhere, and, being the more talkative of the two, likes to discuss politics as you're having your morning coffee. He's best buddies with his sister Coco and they would love to get adopted together. If you're looking for a ready-made pair, look no further!

Loco's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Loco's estimated date of birth is 3/28/10.

Magic (DMC-C-9065)

Magic is an adorable black kitten with white feet and a white chin. He is called Magic because he can get into or out of anything! He is very curious and will keep you in smiles! Pick him up and his purr engine goes nonstop. He comes out the minute you come in the room and wants attention - loves to be held and kissed. This guy is definitely our "pick of the litter"! Abracadabra - give him a home - wave your wand and make him your own!

Magic's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, first FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Lay me on my back, tickle my belly and I will play with you forever. I love to snuggle with all my human friends and my brother Boston. We are great playmates and would love to be adopted together. I'm a typical kitten that loves to explore around the house - you never know where you'll find me! I also get along with other cats and dogs. Take me home and I will love you forever.

Smokey (WP-C-9051)

Smokey is definitely a lap cat. He loves to roll on his back and have his stomach and head scratched. He is constantly purring. Smokey is well-adjusted; he settled into his foster home quickly and gets along great with the other cats and dog.

Sno-Babie (RH-C-9074)

New Arrival!!

Sno-Babie is a magnificent Himalayan (mix?) male, 3 1/2 years old. He's snowy white with faint flamepoint tips. He was left in a sealed box in a vet clinic's lobby, with a note that allergies prevented him from staying in his home. Because the box was left in an area where people regularly drop donations off, and he remained quiet, nobody knew he was in there and he was not found for 3 days. He was full of mats and underweight. Despite this bit of trauma, he's an easy-going boy. Though just a tad timid at first, he's loving and affectionate once he gets to know you. Now all cleaned up and at a healthy weight in his foster home, he's very active and playful and would love a kitty playmate that is his equal on the playfulness scale. As with all Persians, he will need regular brushing/grooming in order to keep his coat free of mats.

Sno-Babie's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Squeaky (DMC-C-9066)

New Arrival!!

Squeaky's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, first FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Squeaky's estimated date of birth is 4/6/10.

Tipper (HAWK-C-9077)

New Arrival!!

My name is Tipper and I am a good little kitten. I am a handsome gray tabby boy, and the end of my tail looks like it was dipped in white paint - hence the named Tipper. I had to adapt to my new foster home and did well after only one day. I now get along with other cats and even dogs. Can you believe it? One of the big resident cats in my foster home always herds me along as if I were her child, and is always cleaning my face. I guess I am a bit messy eater! I will miss her, but I am ready to go to my forever home. It would be great if you had another cat or kitten that I could become buddies with.

Tipper's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Tipper's estimated date of birth is 3/20/10

Tommy (MJC-C-8908)

Tommy is an adorable male kitty, a little over a year old, ready for his forever home. He's a snowy white with pretty apricot accents. He is playful and used to other kitties and will make a great addition to a multi-cat home.

Travis (MJC-C-9057)

Adopted!!

The most adorable black and white kitten with his little white boots and bib, Travis is ready for his new home. What a purr machine! Gets along great with other cats - loves to wrestle with them. He loves people and is the epitome of a lap cat - sitting in your lap and falling asleep whenever given the chance. Travis was found at 5 days old with his umbilical cord just falling off. With lots of sleepless bottle-feeding nights, Travis has become the perfect cat.

Travis' adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Travis' estimated date of birth is 3/28/10

Wilson (JDRF-C-8816)

Wilson is such a handsome orange tabby with the cutest pink nose. He is about 3 years old. He is an extremely loving and affectionate cat. His foster mom has decided that he would probably be happiest as an "only" pet and that is most likely the type of environment he came from. When the other pets in the foster home are not around, he will jump on your lap or rub up against you and wants lots of cuddling and attention. He will make a wonderful companion and lap cat.

Wilson's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia test, FIV test, deworming, rabies vaccination and tag, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, and neutering.

11-20-08

11-20-08

Yo Yo Meow is a sweet, pale orange, shorthaired male, about 2 years old. He has adapted to his new foster home and is doing well with the resident cats there, but we are unable to inform you how he will react with large dogs or small children. Yo Yo is extremely friendly, enjoys head rubs, chasing down thrown toys and sleeping next to the foster parents at night. He has the perfect balance of being a lap cat and maintaining his own independence. He does not constantly whine for attention, but will make himself heard when necessary or when the sound of a can is being opened. :-)

Yo Yo Meow's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination and tag, deworming, microchip and neutering.
