SPOTLIGHT KITTEN: J.T !!

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ADOPTING J.T. OR ANY OF THE KITTENS: EMAIL VFRgrl@yahoo.com

SEE J.T and his brother Haga (who must be adopted with J.T) on Petfinder at:

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11199020

J.T is named after James Toseland; 2007 World Superbike (motorcycle) Champion :) He is a very Stunning black and white tuxedo with 2 adorable black dots on his nose that make him look like a bull! See picture to the right for the human JT.. :)

J.T is a VERY special little guy. Some person thought that they would "help" JT and his brother Haga by trapping their Mom who was a barn cat when they were only 4 weeks old. Mom was spayed and put back in the barn- but JT and Haga were kept in the vet office from 4 weeks to 6 weeks where they were then moved to a dog crate in the barn- so he spent the first 8-9 weeks of his life kept in a cage with no play and socialization.

When we took JT and Haga into our foster program- they didn't know how to play or interact with each other, other than to snuggle up to each other in a ball. They had never seen a cat toy, and were very scared of toys, people, other cats, and all noises. Slowly they came out of their shell and learned to play with toys.

After JT was neutered, we were returning to the car when his carrier broke open and he escaped into the woods behind the vet office. Because he was still a little loopy from anesthesia, and very scared and disoriented- we were unable to coax him or catch him that day.

Every day, at least twice a day, volunteers returned to the site he went missing to leave food, treats, and clothes with our smells on them. With the help of the resident cat at a business close to the vets office- we finally had an official JT sighting- 4 weeks after he went missing! About a week later (5 weeks missing!!), we got him back- healthy and VERY happy to be back inside.

Since he has returned to the foster home, he has become the “zen kitty” of the house. He is a very quiet, laid back kitty, who loves to snuggle- EVEN WITH THE PUPPY! He doesn’t really like it when the puppy gets excited and tries to play- but JT will climb right in the dog bed with the puppy to sleep.

He loves to sleep with the other kittens as well, and is happiest in a kitten pile (preferably with his brother Haga close by). He is happiest when he can just ‘be’ a cat and snooze up in the cat tree, curled up in a box, or next to you in the bed or on the couch.

He is a very sweet, very gentle cat who doesn’t let many things phase him but he doesn’t like a lot of noise and commotion. Even though he will come out to greet company- If things get too loud or active, JT just walks away slowly to find a more peaceful hang out spot.

Although he hasn’t shown interest in going outside since he has been home, we would like to see him in a house where SOME outside time would be possible if he chooses. To find out more about Haga and JT, please contact his foster Mom at VFRgrl@yahoo.com.

**ADOPTED** BAYLISS

To find out more information about adopting Bayliss or any of the other kittens; Email me at VFRgrl@yahoo.com




Bayliss's brother Casey has been adopted; but Bayliss MUST go to a home with another playful cat or kitten. Bayliss (and Casey) on Petfinder (with links to YouTube videos): http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=9452363




Bayliss is about 8-9 months old and is named after Troy Bayliss, 2X World Superbike Champion motorcycle racer (see a theme here?).

Pictured to the right is the human Bayliss with the feline Bayliss- see the resemblance (just kidding!)










Bayliss always looks like he is squinting in pictures for some reason. He is a GORGEOUS Russian Blue mix, who you really have to see in person to appreciate how gorgeous his coat color is.









Bayliss is sometimes shy around new people and situations- but once he is comfortable with you, he loves to snuggle and sit on your lap.








He is not as outgoing as his brother Casey, but once you get to know him you can see his personality come out. He 'talks' to you- if you say "Bayliss" he will meow back :) He has also become QUITE the beggar for food in the kitchen and will actually hang by his front paws from the drawer pulls and cry if he smells something good on the counter. We try to discourage this behavior, but sometimes it just makes me laugh.




















Bayliss has grown up around other kittens, cats, and dogs- and will lay with the dogs sometimes- but he generally doesn't interact with the dogs much. He loves to hang out with the other kittens and play with the other kittens- but he is pretty laid back when compared to some of the others.

Bayliss has a very sweet personality, and has become quite the lap cat. He isn't too fond of people walking up to him and scooping him up, but he will come and sleep on your lap if you call him.

This is a picture of Bayliss asking for treats. He reaches up your leg and 'meows' softly. He is a real sweetheart and deserves a loving home.

If you think that you would like to make Bayliss a part of the family- email for an application at VFRgrl@yahoo.com

SPOTLIGHT KITTEN: MIGUEL

For more information on adopting Miguel (or any of the kittens) please email VFRgrl@yahoo.com !

Miguel and Jack on Petfinder (with YouTube links): http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=11199027

Note: Miguel must be adopted with Jack (see posting Why Two Kittens for their story)

MEET MIGUEL!

(Two pics below taken @ 8-9 wks old)

Miguel is named after Miguel Duhamel; an AMA Superbike (motorcycle) racer

Human Miguel:

He is definitely more shy than his brother Jack; but he is very affectionate to people that he knows! It takes him longer than Jack to trust you, but once he does he will literally run up and cry for affection. His favorite thing is to rub faces with his foster Dad- I think he likes to scratch his face on Dads facial hair :) He will walk up and "MEOW" to be able to come up on your lap for face rubs. He also loves to sit in your lap for petting, and will occassionally reach up with his paw to touch your face.

He is so sweet and quiet that its really funny when he will run in and MEOW for pets :)

ADOPTED!!!! CASEY!!

For more info on adopting Casey or any of the other kittens; email VFRgrl@yahoo.com

Casey and Bayliss on Petfinder (with links to YouTube videos): http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=9452363


Casey is around 8 months old, and can be adopted with his brother Bayliss OR to a home with another playful cat/kitten.

Casey is named after the 2007 MotoGP (the Formula One of motorcycle racing) champion Casey Stoner.



Casey is a cuddle-bug and loves to sit on your lap and knead his paws and purr. He is very 'dog like' in his behavior- he generally comes when called (see the links to his YouTube videos on his Petfinder site) and we are working on clicker training; (Oscar his friend the puppy is doing obedience/clicker training- and so is Casey!).

Casey LOVES his raw food (Aunt Jeni's) and will come running when he hears the container open. He is primarily on a canned food diet- so don't be worried about feeding him raw (unless of course you want to!).







Casey loves the dogs and will sleep and snuggle with them- especially Oscar (see posting below for a video of Casey with Oscar in the Truth about Cats and Dogs)










Its actually difficult to get pictures of Casey NOT sleeping because as soon as you point a camera at him, he wants to come over and rub on you or snuggle with you :)













He is a sweetheart who loves to be around people and his buddy Oscar (the puppy). He is cuddly, but also very playful so if he isn't adopted with his brother Bayliss- he does need to go to a home with another playful cat or kitten.

Do you have a lap that needs some warmth? Do you want a snuggle buddy who will make you feel better after a long day at work? Then consider adding Casey to your family!
