Que the music (Madagascar)...."I like them big...I like them chunky" We lovingly call her "Big Mama" as Jersey came to us with her two adorable kittens! She is a great Mama and has some wonderfully healthy kittens and Mama is ready to enjoy life as a very spoiled and loved house cat. Although her recent spay wellness checkup included notes regarding her weight (noted as overweight) so her spoiling should not include too many treats for a bit but maybe just attention and love. Personally, we think she is just meant to be a bigger girl or a "fleshy" girl (as my Grandma used to say) but we do appreciate our vet wanting Jersey to be as healthy as she can be so her new home may want to monitor her food intake at first instead of having a continuous feeder. Other than that, Jersey is just a beautiful healthy cat looking for love in the form of a forever family!  She is the sweetest, loves attention and affection. She is a vocal kitty, not loud, just soft little chirps. Her kittens make the same sweet little noises like they are speaking to each other because they seem to respond when they hear her. Jersey is a gorgeous Torbie (Tabby with some Tortie markings. She does not have a ton of the orange spots but does have some to add to her character. Her fur is soft but short and she is happy for you to pet her head, back, belly as it makes no difference to her as long as you are loving her she is perfectly happy. We will continue to make updates as we get to know her better but Jersey won our hearts from the moment she came to our shelter and we have a feeling she will do that for anyone she meets. She is just a love.

Who likes those "big girls"...yeah me too! Thelma is short and well...round. She really isn't overweight just thick, probably mostly her thick fur, with a soft round face! We just think she is adorable. She has a voice that doesn't really match her....kind of an "old lady smokers meow" if that sort of explains it but once she is comfortable she is as soft and sweet as she could be. 

​

Thelma was recently surrendered to our shelter with her sister Louise. We were told they were littermates, adopted as kittens. They lived for almost eight years with the same man who loved and took good care of them, when he passed away a family member took them until they could find a rental that allowed cats, or until placement could be found. Both Ladies came to us understandably terrified. They hid from us, hissed at us, and really did not seem to want anything to do with us, but we tried anyway. This is not our "first rodeo" as they say with scared surrendered kitties. Patience is key. They just need enough reminders that is okay to love and be loved again, that it is okay to trust again, and we have to provide daily reminders that they are safe. Both Thelma and Louise are smart Ladies, they very quickly started to show us little by little that they understood. They seek attention, they LOVE attention, both are letting us see their personalities more each day. Louise is very sweet and seems calm and kind once she is comfortable. Thelma is equally as sweet but just has a touch more pep in her step or just a little touch spice! This cat is actually hilarious at times. Sometimes she pouts, sometimes she purrs so loudly it sounds like a motor running, and sometimes she just looks up at us with such love in her eyes it just melts our hearts completely.

​

Thelma would appreciate a soft and gentle place to land and a person or people that want to help her feel comfortable again in her world after so much loss and transition in her life.

Bart and his brother Lenny are so sweet. Bart is gorgeous, with the majority of his body being white, and a touch of black on his little face. Bart came in a little more timid than Lenny, but has since started to show his true colors, which is just a really affectionate boy. (Sadly) Bart has really now grown up in our shelter (and now at The Cat's Brew) and we just can not figure out why. Bart is handsome, friendly, playful, funny, and really just the all around package. He loves to watch TV in the am and looks for affection whenever possible but is not demanding or jealous when it comes to others. Bart is really still a "kitten" but has outgrown the "kitten pair requirement" that we set for young kittens. Although we do feel strongly that Bart would need to be in a home that included another young and playful cat. Certainly if you are short one of those in your home already his brother Lenny would be happy to tag along as he is still looking as well. These two are good buddies as they have grown up together and would be more than happy to continue to do so. If you do already have young cats looking to add to their crew Bart is a mellow boy so with an appropriate introduction plan he would probably make a great (and fairly easy) addition. This cutie has waited too long for his family to find him! Please consider this beautiful boy (and maybe his brother Lenny too).

This adorable kitten came in with another kitten and his Mom (who was more than done parenting). They have been healthy and happy kittens from day one. Both Harper and Hayes are playful and affectionate with just a touch of trouble maker. 

Harper is a typical orange and white boy kitten. Full of life! He has the sweetest face and is always good for a laugh. He is a bit smaller than Hayes and TBH they really do not look anything alike so we are not even sure they are actual siblings/litter mates. They are always happy to play together and snuggle up at the end of a long day and really that is what family is all about!

Young kittens will NOT be approved for homes where they will not have another similar aged KITTEN (Kitten= under 1 year of age or for very young kittens they should be within 2 months in age from the other) companion. If you do not wish to adopt two kittens, please consider selecting a cat nearer to one year of age or older.

Hayes is a smokey grey boy kitten with subtle tabby markings. He is really a beautiful kitten, who is also so sweet and snuggly. Hayes is larger than Harper, so we are not sure if they are actually littermates but they do love each other so we know they think they are either way.

This sweet Mama cat had a difficult road to get to us. She was brought in with another Mama cat (Paris) and between them a total of five kittens. They were the lucky ones chosen from a farm/outdoor colony out of a very large number of cats, a family member was working to help them or at least spay/neuter those she could catch/trap.

**We appreciate her efforts as the spay/neuter of even ONE cat, helps save hundreds from a very difficult outdoor life and (typically) early death** 

​

London is said to be the Mama of only one of the five kittens, Vienna (we were told she had four but three did not survive). London and Paris treated all of the kittens like they were their own and co-raised/nursed all of the kittens. London and Vienna did seem to have a special connection as they were never far apart in the beginning. All of the kittens are now doing well and these Mamas are ready for a new start! London is a bit more "unsure" yet than Paris, she tends to wait to be approached rather than running up to you when you enter the room. She will normally watch you for a bit before she would come to you, but she feels secure, she does (very much) enjoy attention, pets, and love. Once this lovely young lady finds her family, we believe she will be able to relax, and enjoy the life a great cat like her deserves. London is a black and white beauty, who is on the petite side, with long white whiskers and exceptionally soft and smooth fur. She loves the kittens, and she adores Paris, so we do think she would be happy in a home with other calm and kind cats. OR if you have room for two, London and Paris are really a perfect pair. They are so close we wonder if they were also litter mates before they became co-parents. Either way if you are looking for a sweet, young little lady, London (and/or Paris) is your girl!

Betsey was brought to us with her little baby Bindi. She was found as a stray with her three kittens. The finder found homes for two of the three kittens and waited for us to have room for Mama and baby. Betsey is a kind and gentle young cat. She has allowed us to touch and handle her from the start, never showing any signs of aggressive behavior (even in fear). We have earned her trust with food and a slow approach but she now enjoys affection and will stare with her big bright eyes until you approach to pet her. Betsey was a great Mama, very patient with Bindi (who has since moved in with kittens to learn and grow with those her own age) and Betsey is out with the adult cats.

**Update: Betsey has adjusted wonderfully to shelter life. Bindi was moved into the kitten room where she is able to utilize all her energy and play with friends her own age. Betsey has been exploring the shelter and enjoying her own freedom. She is a very mellow girl, gaining more confidence every day. Betsey is very friendly with all of our volunteers but not equally as excited about all of her housemates. She is okay with quiet, friendly, and mostly female cats but seems to get a bit overwhelmed by some of our "extra friendly" cats (specifically our Shelter Managers that like to really SNIFF all the newbies a bit too much). We think Betsey would be happy as a Queen of the castle cat (only cat) or with an older mellow cat that is not looking for too much of her attention. However, because she is pretty mellow and with a slow introduction another cat friend in the home would probably not be as overstimulating as our shelter. Betsey will rub herself at your feet and sometimes even tries to lick your toes (caution on wearing sandals to your first meeting with her) to show you affection. Her black and white markings are unique and her big eyes make this little lady so special. Betsey should certainly be at the top of your "must meet" list. 

​

**One thing to note, we do believe Betsey is fearful of dogs, especially very energetic or vocal ones. We had a couple dogs inside the shelter recently (just there briefly for our visiting vet to provide vaccines) and Betsey showed signs of fear even after they left. To note, these dogs were VERY energetic so it may just have been them but please consider another cat if you have similar dogs in your family as we are unsure of Betsey's past but from her reaction her "dog experience" may not have been positive. After a couple of hours past, Betsey went back to her normal friendly and loving self so we do believe it was the dogs that caused her reaction.

Lenny (fka Lisa - sorry it happens) is simply adorable. He came to our shelter with his brother Bart (shown with in picture) Lenny was definitely the braver of the two, and tends to protect his brother if needed, or at least is always ready to if needed. Lenny is very friendly and affectionate. Lenny is really still a "kitten" but has outgrown the "kitten pair requirement" that we set for young kittens. Although we do feel strongly that Lenny would need to be in a home that included another young and playful cat. Certainly if you are short one of those in your home already his brother Bart would be happy to tag along as he is still looking as well.

Morticia is an absolute doll! She has been ready for love from the start and wants nothing more than to catch your eye so you stay awhile to pet her. She can not wait for volunteers to come in every morning (not for food like most of the others but for love). Morticia came to us as a surrender with (what we were told is) her daughter Wednesday. Wednesday is still working on her confidence but her Mama seems to have enough for the both of them. These ladies are a bit new to our shelter so we will update bios as we continue to get to know them but for now we can tell you both are healthy (we had them spay as soon as they entered our shelter) with soft shiny coats, and both seem to be okay with other cats (certainly each other) and are used to human companionship. We are excited to get to know both of these beauties and more excited to help each of them find their purrfect forever home.
