Welcome to my site!

At least six of our seven kittens and their mother are up for adoption. Indiana, the mom, is needing a new home not because she's a bad cat, but because she not good for our family with all the kids. Two of the kittens are special needs, Max and Tigerbob, because they have a genetic mutation. Our family is keeping at least one of the kittens, but we haven't decided which yet, so all of the kittens are being listed until we know for sure. All of the cats are eating dry food, are litter box trained, and will be ready for new homes very shortly. Also, none of the kittens have been introduced to the outdoors or dogs, but they are all okay with our other cats.

Indiana had gone through several homes before she came to ours, but we aren't quite right for her either. While most of our complaints with her are while she's in heat, she's not good in our house with all of the kids. She has her sociable days; but when she gets messed with too much by kids, she freaks out and has earned the affectionate nickname of "satan kitty." But I believe I would behave the same way she does if I were picked up, shaken, and otherwise harassed. The accidents she has have almost always been when she was in heat. Lately though she's been trying to get food off the table and counter because she's been extremely hungary, but dissatisfied with our cat and kitten food. Also, she pulled out a good deal of her fur right around the time she had kittens. It's starting to grow back now, but we're assuming it was from the stress of being a young mother with seven kids. Overall she's not a bad cat, she just hasn't found her place in this world yet. She needs a home where she can be well trained to keep out of what she shouldn't be in and where there won't be kids that will want to pick her up and spin her in circles. She's good with other cats and can be made to be okay with dogs. Indiana just needs a loving home that can be patient with her and work out her kinks. She's still young (probably not much over a year) so she still has plenty of hope.

Kelly is very rambunctious and active, but not all that sociable at first. She'll love to play with you, but she doesn't care for being held or sitting on your lap. The more you interact with her the better she is for you though, and after a while she won't scream when you pick her up and she will enjoy being pet. She'd be a good cat for a family who doesn't want an attention demander but will still want to play with their kitty. Although she's never been outside, judging from her personality, she'd be a good outdoor cat.

Midna is a playful kitty named after our cat who disappeared, Midnight. She has her cuddly moments and her claw your leg off moments. She's very playful, but also appreciates a good nap on your lap now and then.

Patchy is, at first, very hostile and wants absolutely nothing to do with people, but after much holding and attention he gets more okay with people. Some people, like my friend Rachel, he takes to immediately and barely fusses at all when they hold him. He's at the point where he like to be pet as long as your not holding him, but is still slow at warming up to people. He is very active and rambunctious and will most likely enjoy being outside.

Update- Patchy has made great strides in sociability! He throughly enjoys petting and playing, but is still not fond of being held.

Rolly Polly is a long-haired, cuddly sweetheart. He has dull claws and loves to play without--maiming you! He also likes to just curl up and take a nap on your lap or in your hair, whichever. His long fur would probably not be ideal for outside, unless you just like combing burrs and grass out.


*My mom claims dibs on this one. He keeps her company in her illness.

Rose is sweet and active. She's very curious and loves to play. Her only downside is she has very sharp claws which can discourage physical contact when she's rowdy. She's just very playful and can't help it. With practice, you can have a great time with her without getting any scratches. She enjoys a good pet and will probably like being outside. She's also very adventurous and prone to mischief making, but what kittens aren't?

Max and Tigerbob were both born with a genetic mutation (manx syndrome) that caused them to not have any tails. This is caused by a shortening of the cats spine, which can lead to some health complications if the spine is too short. Some of the nerves may not develop properly and they can have bowl and bladder problems. We haven't taken them to the vet so we don't know the extent of our kittens health complications.

Max appears to have bladder control; but even though he knows when he needs to go, he can't control his bowel movements. He hasn't been eating much lately and we don't know how to help him, so we may end up having to take him to the vet. He's the sweetest cat. He's playful and gentle and in need of a home that can handle his needs.

Update- Max had to be taken to the vet on the 10th because he was getting progressively worse. He's on some medication now and it doing better. He plays with the other kitties now and is able to go to the bathroom much better.



Tigerbob went through of stage of difficulty, but appears to be doing great right now. He know when he needs to use the restroom and can do so when he needs to in the right place. He's active and playful and doesn't seem to be suffering as Max is. This doesn't mean, however, that there are no potential health issues in the future. There are many perfectly healthy manx cats, but he would need to be taken to the vet to be looked over. He's cute and cuddley and may just need a watchful eye to make sure he stays in good condition.
