Meet Ms. T and Mr. Ollie with Scarlet

Ms. T is a contemplative 4-year-old lady who dreams of a tranquil and affectionate abode. She loves the comfort of a snug bed and sunlit nooks, where she can peacefully watch the world go by. Though she may seem reserved at first, her gentle nature will surely bloom once she feels safe and secure. Ms. T longs for a patient family that can provide her with the space to grow at her own pace.

Mr. Ollie and Scarlet form a delightful pair of tenderhearted felines. Despite their unfortunate beginnings as unwanted pets, they possess an exceptional sweetness that would enrich any household. They share an unbreakable bond, making them perfect candidates for joint adoption.

Meet Minx and Love

Minx is a young adult cat with lovely patterns on her fur. She is a truly serene spirit. She is shy and prefers to observe her surroundings from the safety of her igloo sanctuary. A calm living environment would suit her best, allowing her to bask in the sun’s warmth and enjoy uninterrupted naps. Underneath her initial reserve lies a remarkably affectionate and endearing personality.

Love is a sweet young male cat. He sports a serene shade of grey, adorned with delicate white markings around his charming pink nose. His captivating emerald-green eyes are impossible to resist. He is playful and affectionate, yearning for a secure garden haven to frolic in and bask in the golden sunshine. A family with teenage children would be well-suited to Love’s preferences, although he is also open to harmonious coexistence with other feline companions.

Meet Jellytot and Smartie

Jellytot is a spirited and playful 3-month-old male domestic shorthair. He is a tiny ball of energy in constant motion. His lively and mischievous behavior delights his siblings and keeps them alert. Always seeking new explorations, Jellytot would be a perfect addition to any family seeking an endless source of delight and vitality.

Finally, meet Smartie, a curious and lively little fellow always ready for an adventure. He explores every corner and crevice, taking delight in leaping and playing. In his moments of rest, Smartie will grace you with affectionate purring. He would easily integrate into a household with gentle children and, if possible, a furry feline companion to join in his delightful escapades.
