Gorgeous Fluffy Cat with Personality Looking for a Family

Bernie, Animal ID #A24484246

Hi, I'm Bernie. I'm a healthy, affectionate 5-year old with super soft fur. (Can you see how well I take care of it? I am very fastidious and groom myself daily.) My foster humans call me Big Boy Bernie because I was found in the streets (weighing 20 pounds) and brought to Animal Care Services. I have a microchip, but my previous humans never registered it, so I'm now without a permanent home. The Animal Defense League took me in and put me on a special diet to lose the excess weight. I'm a big-boned kitty, so even at my ideal weight, I'm still a "Big Boy". That just means there is more of me to love!

When my humans are really good, I reward them by sitting on their laps.

I get along well with other cats and still have a playful streak. Give me a catnip mouse and I'll go wild!  Occasionally I'll race around the house to let off excess energy.  But I do have an affectionate side, too. I love to cuddle next to my humans on the sofa for a marathon neftlix session. And if you sweet talk me, I will reward you with head butts and nose kisses. Wouldn't you love to bring me home?

Who could resist this fluffy belly?

Beautiful mother and kittens available for adoption

Larissa is a beautiful chocolate brown cat who was brought to the Animal Defense League last week. Larissa was spayed and placed in the cattery.  Two days later, the woman who brought her in said she found 3 kittens in her yard and brought them in. We assume they belong to Larissa.  She took to them right away and is back in her role of mother. They are all in foster care and will be available for adoption in about five weeks.

Larissa is very sweet and affectionate and an attentive mother.  The kittens are about three weeks old and just beginning to walk. They are still a bit unsteady on their feet.



If you are interested in adopting any of them, leave a comment and we'll give you more information.

Seeing Eye Cat and Buddy Need a Home

A beautiful Russian Blue kitten was discovered creeping along an apartment building several months ago. A kind woman fed him and the next day took him home - only to discover he was very friendly but also was blind.... He quickly learned the lay of the land and enjoyed sitting with his owner or playing in clothes. A few weeks later the kind lady found a 5 week old black kitten in a neighbor's car engine. The young kitten instantly bonded with "Kahuna" and they became inseparable. Kahuna follows Minky (nose to tail) so Kahuna can now run and play. Both are litter-box trained, spayed/neutered, and have received all vaccinations. They have, however, caused an uproar among the other cats in the household and must go - together.
