Betty

Betty is approximately 6 months old. She and her family were found as strays in Chelsea, where she lived for her first 6 months on the streets. When she arrived in her foster home, Betty was very shy and fearful of humans, though never aggressive. Over time she has become more and more comfortable with her foster family.

Earl

Earl is very good cat. He is estimated to be about 7 years old. He isn't big on toys and tends to lose interest after a short amount of time. He'd rather lounge by a window or at the foot of your bed. He takes a little bit to warm up to you but doesn't have an major issues trusting anyone. He loves his head and chin scratches and if you scratch his upper shoulders you get a nice low rumble of a purr and it doesn't stop! Once you get Earl purring from pets and scratches he will usually beg for more.

Miko

Miko is a very sweet and round 1 to 2 year old boy. Miko came from a home where he did not get a lot of socialization so he is still getting used to trusting humans. He sometimes forgets how great people can be so he needs a patient home that will continue to help him come out of his shell. In foster care, Miko is becoming more gregarious and loves to play with interactive toys and sit on a comfy chair or the scratcher couch.

Sweet

Five-months-old Sweet and Sour spent their first three months living outside with their mom and a couple other cats. In early December, these lucky kittens were trapped and brought into a foster home. They had never interacted with humans before, though, so at first it was pretty scary for them! As time went on, however, Sweet and Sour both learned that humans were pretty cool after all--not to mention that it's pretty awesome to have a warm place to sleep, food to eat, and toys to play with!
