Marge, polydactyl mix
Marge is a winsome female polydactyl mix being cared for at 13th St Cats.
Marge gets along well with kids, cats or dogs. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She has all of her shots, and she's spayed.
From Marge's current caretaker:
Marge is a nice cat; she is polydactyl (many toes) and she is a mellow girl. She loves to be brushed and pet, and enjoys talking to you; she even coos back when you say hello to her. She fits right in when she gets settled — which explains why, as a pregnant girl, she strolled into a home and had her kittens! The kittens are all adopted now so it’s her turn for a great home that will love her and take care of her now that she is spayed and really ready to settle down! We're happy to set up a foster home visit.

October, calico and Maine coon mix
October is a female calico and Maine coon mix currently residing at 13th St Cats.
October wants to be your one and only: She will need a home free of other cats. October has all of her shots. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.
From October's current caretaker:
October is a character — enjoys being pet and brushed gently, and playing some. She is people-oriented and is a great companion cat for a single person or quiet home, as is common with calicos. In this particular case, this beautiful calico is looking for a new home as she was surrendered. The family that had adopted her had one 2-year-old kid and then got overwhelmed as they started having more kids and ended up with three kids under the age of 6 — not a surprise it overwhelmed October as well! This is why we suspect she will be best in a quiet home without a bunch of little kids taunting her. She can be viewed at the foster home by appointment.

Simba C, tabby and domestic shorthair mix
Simba C is a sweet male tabby and domestic shorthair mix currently housed at 13th St Cats.
He's already neutered and vaccinated. Fear not: He's already been house-trained. Simba C is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
Here's what Simba C's friends at 13th St Cats think of him:
You have never met a cat more affectionate than Simba. This guy is the ultimate lap cat. If you are sitting down and he’s around, he will find a way on to your lap — even if it’s not very comfortable. He is an expert at purring and cuddling. He has short bursts of energy and likes to play. Simba is a fan of a good feather toy that he can pounce on but his favorite toys have catnip in them that he can play with solo. He considers himself to be a king and would prefer to be the only kitty in your castle so he can have you all to himself. He would love to follow you around at all times.

Loki gets along well with dogs, cats and children. He is already neutered, and he has all his shots. Fear not: He has already been house-trained. Loki is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
Loki's current caretakers say:
Loki has been practicing to be your right-hand cat. He has mastered the art of lap-lounging and has proven to be a proficient attention seeker. Needy? Never! This friendly, gentle cat has a skin allergy condition so he is on a specific food diet and medication to control his allergy. At 8 years old, what you see is what you get — a handsome and super-laid back boy that showers his love and his gratitude on his people!

Notes from Tigre's caretakers:
Named for her striped coat, Tigre is a warm and cuddly cat. She loves to play with her sister and best friend, Tinkerbell, and loves to snuggle. She likes to ride on your shoulders and is content to sit in your lap. We highly encourage you to adopt her along with her sister Tinkerbell.

More about Pepe:
Hi, I’m Pepé! I’m the complete opposite of a wallflower! I love attention, and I’m not afraid to ask for it! I’m not shy. My wonderful foster parents describe me as a goofball. That might be because of my squinty eyes that make me look like I am concentrating really hard. Or it might be because of my funny squeak of a meow. I love to be pet and love lap time. If I think you are ignoring me, I will meow at you, and even reach out to you. But don’t worry, I don’t use claws. I love to snuggle! I even like kisses! I get along great with other nice cats.
