felix.jpg

Felix (7776225) is a very handsome 8 month old shorthair who was found wandering down a hallway in an apartment complex. His owners simply put him outside the door when they didn't want him anymore. Felix is a very sweet, gentle guy who enjoys people and in particular is a fan of the under-the-chin rubs. Though still a kitten, he is a bit more relaxed and independent than some other cats his age, and he'd likely be the perfect addition to the home of a first-time cat owner or one with a more laidback lifestyle. As long as he gets tons of love and has a place to explore, Felix will be happy as pie.

sneaky.jpg

Sneaky (7919488) is an adorable 3 month old boy who was surrendered by his owner because she simply didn’t have enough time to take care of him. Sneaky is a shy, laidback little guy who will totally come out of his shell in his new forever home. Still a little undersocialized with other cats, he could benefit from time, patience, and love in his new forever home. But don't be fooled by this sweetie, he IS a kitten and will likely be a little ball of playful energy once he comes out of his shell and becomes more self confident. (Adoption Pending)
