He will need to be in a house with older children who understand kittens and their antics. A KR volunteer rescued Farkle from a shelter. His history is unknown before seven weeks old. Being a stray kitten, Farkle can be skittish and startles easily at times. He needs to be adopted with a bonded sibling. He pairs well with all of his siblings — Topanga, Riley or Corey. This is a group of expert climbers, jumpers and escape art- ists. Some cat experience would be good with this group. Callie is a very sweet girl and a loving kitty who was rescued from a coyote-ridden area by a racetrack worker. She is looking for a loving home that would include at least one of her brothers, Bonzo, Jimmy or JP. Callie loves to cuddle, eat, explore and most of all play and nap with her siblings!

Vanilla Bean is so easygoing that she would be a great first cat. She gets along well with other cats and kittens. She can be adopted by herself if her new family will be home a lot; she gets lonely by herself. Or Vanilla Bean would be happy to have another cat in her new home so she would have company. This sweet girl hasn’t been tested with dogs, but she did remain calm and non-reactive when she saw the two calm dogs in her foster home. Bruce is a pretty cool kitty who was returned to Kitten Rescue when his adopter had some life changes. Though he is social with other cats, Bruce finds the number of cats at the sanctuary a bit much, though he is adjusting. He would love a home with a human with whom he could sit on the sofa and watch TV -- someone laidback. We’re told that one of Bruce’s favorite places to relax used to be the back of the sofa…so Vanilla Bean if you have a comfy sofa, this may be the Callie
