Twas the Night Before Christmas - Sensi and Tiger

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.  (of course if there had been a mouse I'm sure Sensi would not be so calm)

The stockings were hung on the cat house with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The cats were nestled all snug in the beds, while visions of catnip toys danced in their heads.

Santa really was here!  I saw him just as he was leaving.  "He sprung to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle: But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight-
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night".



I thought you all might want to see how the kitties prepared for Santa Claus.  They were all on their best behavior.....except Gypsy, who stole Santa's hat right off of the top of his head!

Despite the strong claw hold, she had on the hat, Santa was able to wrestle it away from her and continue his mission to deliver toys to all the the good little kitties.  Gypsy only thought Santa was wearing a cat toy on his head and she followed her instincts to attack.  Santa understood and I'm almost certain that he left something for her, too.

FELINE FRIDAY - MARY

Say "Hello" to Mary!  Mary is a short hair black and white tuxedo kitty with an estimated  birthday of 12-3-2008. 

Mary was rescued as a kitten.  The woman who raised her got married and learned that the household would have a dog that might do her harm, so she brought her to StreetCats.

She is a playful, affectionate and friendly kitty.  She likes to sleep in an out of the way place where she can enjoy some peace and quiet.  That place is in the lower cabinets in the cats'
large room.  She has learned to unlatch the doors and let herself inside for nap time.



She is rather independent, but does like to play and be petted.  She doesn't like my camera, though.  If I stand way back away from her she doesn't run and lets me photograph her.  

She is healthy!  She has been to the vet and thoroughly checked out.  She has had all of the tests and vaccinations needed and has been given a clean bill of health!  She has been spayed, and micro-chipped, too.  When the new owner comes along we will update it with the new owner’s contact information.  The chip is invaluable in helping lost pets be returned to their owners.  StreetCats will register her for her first year.  

If you are interested in meeting Mary, feel free to come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104, with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around and introduce you to Mary and I’m sure that she would love to meet you, too!

FYI

Hi everyone!  This is Smokey.  Remember me?  I'm the gray girl who lives on top of the cages in my very own room.  And you guys are going to be happy for me because I have found my purpose as the kitty blogger for StreetCats!  Now you may or may not get that finding your purpose in life is a big deal, but I am just so happy right now!  And here is my picture just in case you don't remember me.

Do you want me to tell you my purpose?  Or would you rather guess?  Okay, I'll tell you.  My new purpose is to be an educator, an educator who specializes in things to know about cats.  Because I'm a cat.  And I'm getting this information from an incredible machine called a computer.  We have one of those machines at StreetCats!  Someone recently asked me how I'm getting to the computer.  Well, I'll tell you only one thing.  I do it at night.  I'm not going to tell you anything else, except the obvious, that I'm a cat and cats are amazing!

Now before I move on to the new information I have for you I need to give you an update on the last post I wrote, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.  That post was about how some people think cats are a problem.  Well, I just want to tell everyone to be vigilant and to put your thinking caps on!  I saw another article that referred to us cats as a problem!  The name of the article was The Case Against Cats and it is in the December issue of The Atlantic Monthly.  I'm not being paranoid, cats.  We need to come together to figure this out!  I'm sure glad I'm a StreetCats cat!!

Okay, now for the new things I've learned.  We have a kitty at StreetCats that is all white.  Her name is Cassie and she is very sweet . . . and available for adoption.  And she is all white.  Here is her picture.

Now, as I said, Cassie is all white.  Except sometimes when I look at her I think I see yellow.  And sometimes her tail looks . . . gray??  Well, I was so curious that I decided to do some investigating.  And here is what I learned.  There are three ways a cat can be white.  One is if they are albino.  We're not going to talk about that because it's very rare.  The second way is if the cat has the dominat white gene (W).  Those cats have blue eyes and are white all over.  But here is another way .  There is a dominate white spot gene (S).  Yeah, I know, it's confusing.  But if there is a tabby cat with white on him, he is really all tabby and the white spot gene (S) just masks the tabby part and makes it white.  And . . . one step further . . . the white spots can cover the whole cat and make a tabby cat look all white!!

So here's my question.  If Cassie's real color is being totally masked by this dominant (S) gene, I wonder what color she really is!  Confused?  Well, I'll study more!

Feline Friday - Beamer

I'm happy to introduce Beamer to you today!  Why so happy?  Because Beamer is such a happy cat.

 

Beamer is about 7 years old, but acts younger than you might think.  He is very playful.  I tried getting a photograph of him playing, but he was much too fast for me and my camera. 

 Beamer is all over the shop.  He continuously is looking for someone, a toy, or another cat to play with.  He loves everyone!  He is affectionate to say the least and loves loving on people and people loving on him.  The picture below needs a good caption.  Is he wondering why these people aren't petting him?

 

Beamer was adopted from StreetCats as a kitten in 2009.  Although he was loving and friendly with his owner he was returned to us in October.  He had become aggressive to his owner's elderly cat.  His owner hated giving him up, but felt that it would be better for his older female cat.

 Beamer is very healthy!  He has been to the vet and thoroughly checked out.  He has had all of the tests and vaccinations needed and has been given a clean bill of health!  He has been neutered, and microchipped, too.  When the new owner comes along we will update the chip with the new owner’s contact information.  The chip is invaluable in helping lost pets be returned to their owners.  StreetCats will take care of the first year's registration.



If you are interested in meeting Beamer, feel free to come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104, with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around and introduce you to Beamer and I’m sure that he would love to meet you, too! 
 

Feline Friday - Thor!

Our Thor most certainly has been named after the great god, Thor, who was associated with thunder and lightening, storms, strength, and the protection of  all of mankind. Doesn't this description conjure up visions of a being that was powerful, and intimidating to all who saw him?  When our Thor was a kitten the person who named him must have had high hopes for him to become a big and strong cat who would never be ruled by another cat, or mere mortals like you and me. 

Thor's kitten years are gone and he has grown to be a 5 yr. old teddy bear of a kitty!  He is precious.  He is affectionate and laid back.  He is everybody's friend and can't wait to be petted by his new friends when they come into the shop. 

He is described as a blue tabby.  His stripes are faint, but you'll see them when you look closely.  He is beautiful!  He is, however, just a little weight challenged.  His new owner will most likely want to visit with a vet about how to help him trim down to a healthier weight.  

He is a very lovable kitty and I believe that he would be a great addition to anyone's family.  We were told that the previous owner had 2 cats, Thor being one of them, that didn't get along with each other even after living together for a year.  The owner decided to let Thor go.  We know what a wonderful cat he is and hope that it won't be very long before he goes home with a new family.  

Thor is a healthy kitty he has tested negative for FeLeuk/Aids and is current on rabies and FVRCP vaccinations.  He also has a HomeAgain micro-chip implanted and will be registered, with the new owners' contact information, at no cost.   

If you are interested in meeting Thor, feel free to come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104, with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around and introduce you to him and I’m sure that he would love to meet you, too!

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

First, before I tell you what I've learned, I want to tell you something else I learned.  Hmmm.  I'm learning and learning!  Do you remember when I wrote about A Stitch in Time?  Oh wait, I should tell you that this is Smokey!  I'm blogging!  Okay, this is what I learned about A Stitch in Time.  It was started by the lady who started StreetCats.  Her name is Jodi Lorimer and she named the organization and the program!  So this is whom we should say thank you!!!  Thank you, Jodi!

Now on to what else I've learned.  First, the good.  Cats are absolutely awesome!!!  Even more than I realized!!!  Did you know that we're supernatural predators?  Well, I guess we're natural, but we're so good at it we seem supernatural.  We can see in ultraviolet and hear in ultrasound!  We can judge the height of a sound so accurately that we're going to catch any prey that makes even the slightest sound on our first try!  This is good because we're hyper carnivores . . . that means we must have meat!  I am so proud of how amazing we are . . . such wonderful hunters!  Beautiful, sleek, sly, graceful and very successful hunters!

Now here's the bad.  Lots of cats live outside and when they hunt they aren't careful about what they catch.  If it's meat they will catch it and eat it.  And this includes songbirds.  Pretty birds that make such pretty sounds.  There are people who love birds as much as my people love cats!  So when we catch their birds they get very sad.  Or mad.. This is bad!

And the ugly . . . and I do mean really ugly . . . the International Union for Conservation of Nature considers cats one of the 100 worst invasive species.  And no, I'm not kidding!  Invasive!!  And in Australia they blame us for the decline of the majority of their endangered species.  Some people want to irradicate us.  Irradicate!  Look it up!  I shudder just thinking of it!  Here is an example I read about.  In Key Largo, Florida there is a special little mouse called the Eastern Woodrat.  It's a cute little mouse with cute little eyes.  And it's endangered.  Because of, yep, cats!  The people there are trying so hard to save this little mouse!  They even raise them away from there and then turn them loose and then guess what.  We eat them!  And they've tried so hard to keep us kitties away!  But we are so smart (and so prolific!) that they can't control us!  Of course I'm not surprised, but yikes, this makes us a little unpopular.

So I've been thinking.  Could house cats with access to the outdoors be contributing to this bad and ugly?  Could these house cats be contributing to extinctions?  Sort of sad, huh?  Pretty good reason, maybe, to keep house cats in the house?  You can feed us our meat and we can hunt toys!!  I know I'm going to be up at night thinking about this.  People might have more reason to keep us inside than just to protect US, huh?!

Feline Friday - Hello Dolly!

Dollie is a very sweet little gray and white tabby with gorgeous green eyes!  She is estimated to be less than 2 years old with a birthday about February 2015.  She’s a little on the petite side for her age and very dainty. 

Although still a little shy, she loves playing with our visitors and the volunteers.  When resting she prefers to hang out in a little house that she has claimed for her own. 

Dolly came to StreetCats with her sister Polly.  They were rescued in Catoosa and brought to us by a woman who couldn’t keep them.  Polly was adopted recently and we would very much like to help Dolly find her forever home, too.

If you are interested in meeting Dolly, feel free to come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104, with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around and introduce you to Dolly, and I’m sure that she would love to meet you, too!

How I Know What I Know

Hi, everyone.  This is Smokey.  Remember me?  Now the last time I wrote on this blog I told you about how many kittens there are . . . TOO MANY!  And I promised I would tell you what StreetCats is doing to help with the problem of too many kittens.  And a promise is a promise!  So here you go!

StreetCats has a program called A Stitch In Time.  If you think about it for a minute you'll get it.  "Stitch" refers to the stitches a cat gets when they have the surgery that keeps them from having kittens and "in time" means before they have kittens.  Clever, huh?!  I'm going to see if I can find out who made that up!  So anyway, if someone has a stray kitty or knows of a feral cat, they call our message line (918-298-0104) and leave their name and phone number.  Nice Lindsey calls them back and they get to choose between four vets that help us with this program.  We make a "voucher" for them and then they come to pick it up.  They pay us $20 for the voucher, make an appointment with the vet and take the kitty.  Then we pay the vet for the entire surgery as well as a rabies shot. Heck of a deal, huh?!  And if the kitty you're working with is wild, we will even loan you a trap to help you catch the kitty!  There are still too many kittens out there, but by golly StreetCats is trying to do our part in helping with the problem!  I'm proud!  And I sure do appreciate the people who use our vouchers to help control the kitty problem!!

Now I know someone out there is asking how I know about this.  I can just hear their snarky tone of voice, "How do YOU know?"  "You never even leave your special place!"  Well, here is how I know.  I listen!  And now I hear them saying, "You can't hear everything that goes on at StreetCats!"  Oh yes I can!  Did you know that cats can hear four to five times further than humans?  And that we can pinpoint the location of a sound within 6/100 of a second?  Just think about how fast that is!  We even hear at higher frequencies than dogs do!  And when we quickly locate a sound our ears can rotate 180 degrees to focus in on that sound.  And here's something else!  Each of our ears operates independently!  So if there is someone talking in my room and someone else talking in the office, I can listen to each conversation with a different ear!  Ha!  So you don't ever need to ask me again how I know something!!!  I heard!!

I found this cool picture of Vanna.  She used to do what I do, write the blog.  I wish I could have known her!  She liked to sit on laps and the volunteers miss her!!  But I know she is happy in her very own home.  So here's Vanna.  Check out those ears!!  And try not to be too jealous!  Cats are just special!!

Too Many Kittens!!

Being responsible for the kitty portion of this blog is a big responsibility!  I have been working so hard!  I have to use my ears to hear what's happening in this place and then I have to learn new things!  I think maybe I'm too old for this job!  But I've been studying and today I'm going to tell you some of the things I've learned about kittens!  But before I do I promised I would show you where I live.  So here you go.  This is it.

One of my people friends, Vickie, the one who carries her big camera around all the time, called this my Queendom!  Isn't that cool?!  I'm not a queen!  But Adam was a king, so . . . .  Queen Smokey?  Hmmmm.

Okay now to kittens.  I've been hearing my people talk about "too many kittens."  Well, I didn't understand what they meant because we don't have kittens at StreetCats.  Not really little ones.  So I just kept listening until I figured out that outside of StreetCats there are too many kittens who never find a nice place to live.  That is so sad!!  So I started doing some reading to see what we need to know in order to help.

First, I'll tell you a story about how cats came to be.  This is a Hebrew story and is about when all the animals were on the ark with Noah.  Well, when he loaded up there were no little cats, only big ones like lions and tigers.  But the rats on the ark weren't being nice.  They were making baby rats really fast and they were eating up the food on the ark!  So . . . God made a lion sneeze and out flew a cat!  I'm pretty sure not everyone believes this Hebrew legend, but I don't doubt it.  I mean look at me!  Don't I look a little like a lion??

Well, however kittens got here, there are for sure a lot of them!  I read that there are 500 million domestic cats in the world!  Wow, sort of puts my life in perspective!!  But there are also a lot of cats who aren't domesticated.  They're wild!!  I read that there are 60 million in the US alone!!  The people call them feral cats.  And here's something else that is absolutely shocking!  Not everyone loves cats in the way my StreetCats people do!  Maybe they love them in a different way, because in Asia, 4 million cats are eaten every year . . . by people!  I have learned that there is such a thing as learning too much!  I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that and it would have been just fine!  I also could have gone without learning the mean things people have done to cats . . . because they are afraid of us!!  Really?!  Afraid of us???  I'm not even going to tell you any of the things that have been done!  You don't need to hear it!  I'll just say I'm even more thankful now for the people at StreetCats who take care of me!!

I'm going to stop writing now.  Next time I write I'll tell you what StreetCats is doing about the too many kittens problem.  Let me leave you with just a little more info.  A cat can have up to nine kittens at one time!  And they might not look alike because they can have different dads.  Shocking!  I read the largest litter ever recorded was 19 babies!  The oldest cat to have kittens was 30 years old.  In her life she had 218 kittens!  I bet she was tired!  Now here is a math problem for you.  How many kittens might a pair of cats be responsible for producing?  No matter what answer you come up with, it's a heck of a lot!

Meet - Kiki!

Kiki is a short haired Tortie.  Tortie, if you haven’t heard the term before now, is short for tortoise.  "Torties" have colors that resemble those of some turtles’ shells.   Her birthday is approximately 10/04.  She is front declawed.

She’s doing fine at StreetCats with other cats around, but reports are that she does not do well with children.  We don’t know how she would react to dogs. She does, however, react well to people!

She loves to be combed and brushed.  She is affectionate, too.  One of her most distinctive traits is that she likes to be vocal.  We get lots of “talk” from her.  It’s as if we can carry on conversations with her, except for the fact that we have no idea what she is saying, of course. 

Having a home, at StreetCats, awaiting adoption is not her first time around.  She was adopted from StreetCats in 9/13.  Unfortunately she has been returned to us.  Her owner was an elderly woman that could no longer take care of her.  StreetCats cats are all indoor cats, and Kiki, was accustomed to living in an apartment.  

As I said, she was returned.  Our philosophy is that once a cat becomes a StreetCat he or she will always be a StreetCats cat.  As in this case, the owner could no longer keep her and returning her to us was the best thing for her.  We will continue to love her and take care of her until she finds the right owner.  Often it seems that the cats choose the people rather than the people choosing the cat.

She is healthy!  She has been to the vet and thoroughly checked out.  She has had all of the tests and vaccinations needed and has been given a clean bill of health!  She has been spayed, and microchipped, too!  When the new owner comes along we will update it with the new owner’s contact information.  The chip is invaluable in helping lost pets be returned to their owners!  Also, her first year’s registration fee is paid by StreetCats!

If you are interested in meeting Kiki, feel free to come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104, with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around and introduce you to Kiki and I’m sure that she would love to meet you, too!

Really???

I have no idea how this happened or what I'm doing.  I knew that King Adam got adopted because he quit coming to visit me.  But now all of a sudden I'm supposed to write a blog?  What's a blog??  And what am I supposed to write about?  Well, as I often do, I turned to my best friend, Linda.  Here is a picture of her and me.   Oh, and of my own personal brush!  I love to be brushed!

So Linda told me to just start by telling you a little bit about myself.  This is so embarrassing!  You don't want to hear about me!  Oh well, here I go.  My name is Smokey.  A vague memory tells me that's not the only name I've had.  I'm about 11 years old.  That's pretty old, but there are cats a whole lot older, so let's say I'm middle aged.  I don't remember being a kitten, I don't remember if I ever had baby cats of my own.  I don't remember how many homes I've had, but I'm a StreetCats cat now, and that's forever!  I know I don't have claws on my front paws, but I sure don't know why.  People say I'm pretty.  Do you think so?

People say a lot about my color.  They call it blue.  Sometimes people look at me and say, "Oh, a Russian Blue!"  Then another person will say that I'm a Chartreux or a Korat.  Well, at least that last one rhymes with what I am.  A cat!
Now here is one thing I certainly do not understand.  They talk a lot about my beautiful fur and then they shave it off!  What's with that?!  Maybe they're jealous because they don't have blue fur.  Which do you like better, fur or no fur?

Now I'm going to tell you two more things and then I'm going to go.  First, I like to stay up high.  I have my own home at StreetCats . .  on top of the cages.  I have a house there, potty boxes, my food, everything a cat could need.  Sometimes the other cats visit me, but it is my home!  Maybe I'll show you later.  Second, I am not available for adoption.  They say I have "health problems". Honestly I don't know what that's about.  I feel great!!
Whew!  I'm so glad that's over!  I hope Linda thinks I did okay!  It actually wasn't too bad.  And I have an idea about something else to tell you!  So maybe I'll talk to you soon!

Feline Friday - Mama!

Mama is a beautiful calico kitty!  She got her name when she showed up at her rescuer’s door expecting a litter of kittens.  Unfortunately her rescuer was not able to keep her, but we were able to bring her into StreetCats after she raised her kittens.

She is estimated to be almost 6 years old and as you can see by the way she is working over the scratching post of the cat tree that she has not been declawed.  

Mama is friendly, but still rather independent.  She likes attention, and petting for the most part, and she's happy to be a lap cat, but only when it’s her idea.  

She appears to know her name and will at times come to it.  Her favorite part of the day is in the morning when we serve a little canned cat food to all of the kitties.  She is always first in line when the bowls are being handed out.  Her second favorite time is in the afternoon when treats are served.  No encouragement needed there to get her to come out of her little house. 

She is laid back and gets along with the other cats.  

Mama is healthy!  She has been spayed, has had all the right tests and has been given her shots. She is also micro-chipped and when she is adopted the new owner’s contact information will be added to it. StreetCats will also pay for her first year’s registration fee with Home Again. 

If you are interested in meeting Mama, feel free to come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104 with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around and introduce you to Mama and I’m sure that she would love to meet you, too!

Feline Friday - Jetson!

Meet Jetson!  Jetson is jet black, except for a little bit of white fur on his chest.  He is approximately 4 1/2 years old and front paw declawed. 
 

He is a big ol’ sweetheart!  He is laid back, friendly and affectionate!  He loves to sit on a lap and soak up the love. 

He has been known to sit up and beg and he is very inquisitive.  Most every day he tries to climb into the cupboards over the sink and counter.  And most every day he succeeds!

Jetson is a fine cat!  He loves people and loves to follow them.  He especially likes coming and going through opening doors.   He gets along with other cats and never acts aggressively.  He also gets along with dogs.  

His previous owner had him since he was 4 weeks old and was sad to have to give him up.  The owner had lost his/her job and moved in with someone who was allergic to cats. 

Jetson is healthy!  He has had all of the tests and vaccinations that he needs.  He has been neutered, too.  At StreetCats we also micro-chip our cats.  When adopted the new owner’s contact information will be added to the chip.  In case he is lost, and then found, he can be taken to any vet or animal rescue association and be scanned for the chip.  You will then be contacted and your kitty will be returned!  The first year’s registration will be paid by StreetCats, too!

If you are interested in meeting Jetson, please, come by StreetCats at 6520 E. 60th St, in Tulsa, 10:30 - 5:00 Tuesday though Saturday, or call our message line, 918-298-0104 with any questions that you may have.  We would love to show you around StreetCats and introduce you to Jetson and I know he would love to meet you, too!

Feline (and Human) Fun

King Adam here.  I am going to write this blog, but before I do I need to vent.  This blog was my idea . . . MINE!  I wanted to show you every single cat toy we have for sale in our shop.  That's exactly what I was going to do, one toy, bed or brush at a time.  Well, because I was so excited about MY idea, I guess the humans figured out what I was doing.  No, I KNOW they figured it out because the next thing I knew they had grabbed a camera and away they went.  They are such buttinskies!!

And before I knew it they were playing dress up!  I'm not kidding!  They put on Laurel Burch shirts and scarves and even opened a Laurel Burch umbrella?

That's Linda Duckworth and she plays with the things in the shop more than anyone else, but she wasn't the only one who was in on this takeover of MY idea!  She has a Laurel Burch purse on her shoulder, too, but since you can't really see it, they took a picture of just all the purses.  Yawn!  Boring!!

And do you see what's on top of all the purses?  A Laurel Burch hat!  No doubt these humans are out of control!  I could not wrest control from them!  They're maniacs!  They went around the shop taking pictures of all the human toys!

STOP!!!!

Well, finally I yelled (in meow form) loud enough that they agreed to show some cat toys.  But when you look at these pictures notice that the humans couldn't even really stay out of them!!  I bet that reflection is not an accident!  And human enthusiasm diminished, I think, when they were looking at cat toys!  Hmmm!

Okay, I have an idea.  I know everyone reading this blog loves their kitties and would like to see every single cat toy here, AS I HAD PLANNED!  So . . . just come to our shop and see for yourself!  You can find us at 6520 E. 60th St., right behind Charlie's Chicken.     Or here's another idea!  Come to Affair of the Heart at the Fairgrounds on July 15, 16 or 17!  Gosh, come all three days!  We'll be there and you can see all the toys then!  They'll no doubt bring the human toys, too.  That's just the way they are!  Feel free to ignore those!

Feline Friday - Antonio and Angelo!

Meet Antonio and Angelo!  

They are both tabbies and they look very much alike. They are in fact brothers.  Their birthday is coming up in July and soon they will become 1 year olds! 

 

Telling them apart is quite a trick, but I did find some ways!  

They really do look a lot a like, but with close study I found that there are subtle differences.  For instance Antonio is a little darker with a little bit more black in his coat.  He also has, on each side of his nose, 1 dot.  That’s right only 1 dot.  

Angelo, on the other hand is a little lighter with more brown in his coat.  He also has nose dots, only he has 3 dots on each side of his nose.  Also he has the most defined "M" on his forehead!

These two kitties could not be any sweeter than they are now.  They are people friendly, and dog and cat friendly.  We don’t, however, know how they are with children.  These kitties do love their play time, but in general they are laid back, calm, and affectionate.  We, at StreetCats, all love them!  They are pure delight in fur coats!

Antonio and Angelo were raised together and are very bonded to one another.  Because of this we want them to be adopted together.  Here Antonio is grooming Angelo after a session of wrestling. 

Both kitties are healthy!  They’ve been examined by a vet, tested, vaccinated and neutered.  They have also been micro-chipped!  When they go to their forever home we will put the new owners’ name and contact information on it.  The microchips are the best way to get your precious family pets home to safety once they've been lost.  If found they can be taken to any vet or animal rescue organization to be scanned for the chip. When identified the owners will be contacted.  StreetCats will also pay for their first year of registration with the Home Again program.

Antonio and Angelo
