FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! Honey And Maple Stop By For A Spell! (#675-676)

Hey all!

These two sweet babies, Honey and Maple, are just stopping by for a few days before they go to their forever home.

The shelter wanted to see if we could take a little bit of the edge off these two before they settle into their new digs and get them used to being handled and cuddled.

Well... they are – to put it bluntly – a pair of hard asses!

The black cat, a boy, is coming around nicely, but the girl... Oh my!

She is a piece of work, hissing and spitting like a little fuzzy viper! LOL!

She doesn't really know what she's doing, and she never once bit or scratched, but SUCH A DIVA!

Here are a few more photos of the two...

Updates to come!

Hazel Is Ready For Her Forever Home! (VIDEO)

When sweet Hazel came to us, she was a shy, nervous little girl who could barely make eye contact with you when you spoke to her.

Now she has blossomed into a loving, playful kitten with a curiosity and love big enough for the world.

When she arrived, she would curl up into a little ball when you pet her.

Now she flips around, purrs, and makes bread for days!

She has learned to play and loves her laser dot and her kicker toy.

She has no problem with any other cats, male or female, and, in fact, has gotten along with everyone else at the shelter better than almost any cat that has come through here.

All that remains is to show you what an adorable little girl she is, so we put together a video of Hazel so you can see that she would be a perfect fit for your home!

Petting and purring...

FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! Baby Hazel Has Arrived! (#674)

Hey everyone!

We have a new little girl named Hazel here in the shelter for some socialization, and she is ADORABLE!

Please note the AWESOME stripe down the center of her nose!

While she is very tentative and naturally a little fearful of the new situation and surroundings, it is easy to see what a sweetheart she is.

When she arrived, Hazel reminded us of a little fuzzy armadillo because when you pet her, she curls up and peeks up at you with one eye to make sure you’re not up to no good.

On the second night, though, she became very trusting and started making bread and even purring.

And she is soooooo soft!!!!!!

If this little one continues to progress so quickly, it shouldn’t be too long before she’s a total mush!

Fern Is Ready For His Forever Home! (VIDEO)

Hey everyone!

Fern has officially graduated finishing school and is ready to be adopted!

He has become a sweet love muffin who loves brushing and petting and has developed a deep and wonderful purr.

He gets along with all the other cats at the shelter and should have no problem acclimating if you already have cats of your own.

He is truly a sweet soul and never once acted aggressively in the entire time he was getting to know and trust us.

That is amazing and a rarity.

He just has the best temperament and demeanor anyone could ask for.

All that remains is to show you what a wonderful little man he is, so we have put together a video of Fern being brushed and petted so you can see that he would be the perfect cat for you!

Petting and purring...

FERN CAN LEARN! The Little Man Has Figured Out How To Play! 😻 (VIDEO)

Hey all!

Here's a quick update on Mr. Fern.

He is settling in very nicely and has acclimated with the rest of the free-roaming cat pack.

He has also come out of his shell and is vocalizing more and is leaning to play!

When he got here, he didn't even go for the red dot!

But now, all things not nailed down are toys for the little man.

Here's a little video of him doing his thing... I love his smile at the end!

More updates to come!

FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! Mr. Fern Is In The House! (#673)

Look at that smile!

Hey Everyone!

We have a handsome new youngster in for some socialization as he looks for his forever home.

He is VERY timid and all but shuts down when you approach him.

He didn't hiss or scratch but instead froze up and made a long sad meow when we tried to pet him for the first time.

It was heartbreaking.

But Fern has been here for a week now and has made amazing strides.

He is now actually actively testing boundaries and even seeking out pettings... On his terms of course.

It's going to take a little while, and we will have to earn his trust, but we have a feeling that once he turns the corner, he is going to be a massive cuddler.

That's usually how it goes with the quiet ones... They test you to see if they can trust you, and once they know you are okay and part of their family, they just turn into big old mushes!

Updates soon!

FERAL NO MORE! Rickey Went From Hissing To A Love Muffin In 24 Hours!😻

It is hard to believe a turnaround like this is even possible!

Rickey was hissing and growling just 24 hours ago and is now a straight-up love muffin who likes belly rubs and baby talk!

Here is a video of him we took just this morning...

What a SWEET boy!

He's going to be ready for his forever home sooner than we expected!
