Great Cats for Great Homes

Hello there! We are 4 former farm kitties born on April 19th, 2022. Our mom was a semi-feral kitten adopted from a junk yard to a beautiful farm. Our people were told by their vet that mom was too young to get spayed yet, so they decided to win her trust first and then get her spayed. She later foiled two efforts to get her to the vet in rather spectacular manner. You'd just love it because it's the story of how us kittens came to be born!

Our mom did learn to trust her people and she knew we would benefit from them so, after birthing us in the wild, she brought us into their home at 5 weeks old so we could eat and sleep there. Mom keeps demonstrating to us that she loves her people and that they are safe to be around and on top of. She taught us to use the kitty door, to do our business outside, and we have even gone on some hunting training trips. We learned that the guard dogs of the farm were not going to hurt us. To be sure, our mom taught us not to take chances and let them get too close.

We have been in a bedroom in our people's house since about 7 weeks old to learn that people can be safe and fun to snuggle with. Our mom taught us to use the litterbox there, too. It was pretty scary at first and one of us had a few accidents but we all know where the stuff goes now. We are 4 months old now and would like to win your heart while we are so extra cute. Three of us can be petted pretty consistently by the medium size people in our home. All of us are more shy of the big people and of any strangers that visit. We all like to play with things attached to strings and with catnip mice.

We would love to go outside again eventually but we should first learn to trust the people that would give us a forever home. Of course we would love to stay together but in case that is not in your budget, at least the tiger and the gray kitten would really-really-really like to stay together. They do everything together, they are both the most friendly and social of the 4, and they make such a beautiful pair! The tiny calico runt of the litter is the most cautious and shy. She would benefit from being paired with the dark kitty who seems very level headed and resilient. The dark kitty is socially very flexible and hangs out with the cool couple, alone, or with the little calico.

Please consider adding our purrs to your life! Our mom will stay with her people who love her and, after nursing the litter she acquired while still nursing us (indoors this time!), she will be spayed before allowed to go outside again. Rodents be forewarned because she is a phenomenal huntress!  Rehoming fee is $200
