These Tampa-based kitties are up for adoption and in need of a good home

Maria Hill is a winsome female calico cat in the care of St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Maria Hill will get along great with your other cats. She is looking for a dog-free family. St. Francis Society Animal Rescue, however, recommends she be placed in a home without small children. Maria Hill is already spayed, and she has had all her shots. She is also house-trained.

Notes from Maria Hill's caretakers:

I was rescued, along with nine siblings, from a swamp where food was scarce. I was finally adopted to a good home, but it wasn't a good fit for me. I really enjoy treats and even like to be hand fed. I would thrive in a quiet home with a friendly kitty playmate.

Notes from Pixie's caretakers:

I was a street cat until a nice lady took me in. Now, I like humans way too much to be a street cat. I can be a little shy around strangers, but I really love playing with my foster brother Joel. My foster mom says we are both awesome and the right forever home is out there. Are you the one?
