Hop, domestic shorthair and tabby mix

Hop is a sweet male domestic shorthair and tabby kitten currently residing at 13th St Cats.

Hop loves other cats. He has all of his shots. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

Hop's current caretakers say:

For such a well-tempered little kitten, Hop is both wiry and wily. He and his littermate Dax have been growing up together the last few weeks and Hop loves to play and sleep almost equally. He is super affectionate, friendly, playful — but in a very respectful way (no claws most of the time — even when trying to scale your leg! ). He's generally very quiet. Hop is waiting for you to visit and adopt him! If you're up for two: Please check out his littermate, Dax — they love each other's companionship quite a bit and keeping them together would be nice.

Calypso, calico and domestic shorthair mix

Calypso is a female calico and domestic shorthair kitten being cared for at 13th St Cats.

Calypso will get along great with your dogs and cats. No need to worry: She's already house-trained. She has been vaccinated.

Notes from Calypso's caretakers:

This girl has beautiful, totally stunning markings. And she's sweet, yet a character for sure. Calicos tend to be best as only pets so we are adopting her out as an individual kitty. She likes to play (her favorite is the ping pong ball) and to be petted; she comes up to you for attention and she likes to be held.

Silver, tabby and domestic shorthair mix

Silver is a lovable female tabby and domestic shorthair kitten being cared for at 13th St Cats.

Silver loves other cats. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. Silver has all her shots.

Here's what Silver's friends at 13th St Cats think of her:

Silver is still shy after being picked up from the streets but we are working on slowly getting her out of her shell. She is more of a passive and quiet kitten who prefers to watch her foster sister, Goldie, play. Although she is still adjusting to her new environment, we know that she has the potential to be the sweetest companion.
