Kittens Need A Home

The Bunnies need a home for their kitties! Photos and text describing the little babies below, taken from Hono'o-chan's bloggie. :-)


The time has come to put our babies up for adoption. Even though Fire and I love them to bits, we can't keep them. We can only hope to find them the best homes possible.

Please help us match our beloved pets with people who need some cat loving in their lives by passing this message and the links therein among your friends and acquaintances. Thank you very much for your time.

Anyone wanting to see the kittens with their parents, or would want a kitten can contact me at 0917-8166762 or Fire at 0917-8324875. You can also either leave a message here, or email me at dark.beloved at gmail dot com.


BOOTS
male, black and white with moustache and white paws


Boots is a sweetheart. If there was one kitten I’d like to keep for myself, it would be him. He was the first one to learn to cuddle, and he’s very quiet – unless he’s hungry and you have food. He’s what we call a flexi-kitten, a kitten who can be picked up and flopped around because he trusts humans so much. I’ve actually dropped and caught him once, and he didn’t even so much as complain. He’s got quite an appetite and is the largest among the babies, even though he’s only the fourth-born. Boots would fit best with someone who’ll let him climb on their lap and cuddle at least once a day.


COOKIE
male, orange/white tabby


Cookie has a tendency to be a little shy. Good for a home with many high hiding places. An exceptional explorer, we’ve found him trying to catch roaches with his parents, navigating the china cabinet, and tucked I the sofa folds (thank goodness we avoided sitting on him). Somehow he manages to get up on the bed beside us every single night to snuggle on Fire’s hot-water compress – a habit which really doesn’t benefit Fire’s cold.


MOKI
male, orange/white tabby


Moki is into everyone and everything all the time. I don’t even know if he sleeps – the pictures of twins are usually of Cookie and Oishi. I’ve found him in the oddest places – on the second shelf of my scrapbooking cabinet, under said shelf (he had to crawl on his belly to get there and we had to dismantle the shelf to get him), and inside my shoulder bag (my bad). He’s also the only kitten who didn’t inherit his dad’s stubby, crooked tail and instead flaunts a long, expressive one he inherited from his mom.


OISHI
female, orange/white tabby


Oishi has a stubborn streak and requires a patient hand. Girly-girl through and through, you can’t spank her or she’ll ignore you for the whole day. The last one to be toilet-trained, she was the first one to acquaint herself with the shower. She followed her father in and it was hell keeping her out after she discovered water. A real daddy’s girl, she can always be found snuggled up to either Bobby (dad) or one of the other orange tabbies. We hope that Oishi will find herself in a multiple-cat household, as she seems to love company the most.


LILY
female, calico tabby


Lily’s very vocal. She joins her mom in her begging sessions once we return home from work, and is the very first kitten to learn to purr. She’s reasonably cuddly for a female, and gets into less mischief than the other kittens do. She’s not territorial either, and shares her space with cat and humans alike. She does have a fondness for her scratching post, however, and will insist on using it whenever she feels like it, no matter how many of her sibs are already playing on it.


SOCKS
male, gray/white tabby with white paws


Socks is the eldest of the kittens, as well as the most active. It was next to impossible to get a decent shot of him because he won’t sit still! He’s not a very cuddly kitten, though he will tolerate extended petting and picking up. He’s not very talkative either – even when there’s food to be had. He’d rather guilt you into giving him something by sitting at your feet and staring at you. If that doesn’t help, he’s not above climbing up your leg, regardless of what you’re wearing. Socks is the ultimate kitty for a bachelor or bachelorette – he keeps himself occupied, is minimal maintenance, but will be there when you need someone to hug or talk to who won’t talk back.
