Tamale, domestic shorthair

Tamale is an adorable male domestic shorthair kitten currently housed at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Tamale gets along well with other cats. St. Francis Society Animal Rescue, however, wants to place him in a home without small children. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He is already vaccinated.

Tamale's current caretakers say:

I'm part of a litter of newborns, and we almost didn't survive.  I've been through a lot and almost didn't survive, but my foster mommy says I'm the sweetest boy and have the most beautiful, distinctive stripes. Sometimes I nibble on your fingers, because I want you to pet me. Besides affection, I love to hang out on the screened porch. So, if you've got one of those, I'd love to come home with you!

Jill, domestic shorthair

Jill is a female domestic shorthair kitten being kept at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Jill is the life of the party — she's happy to keep company with other cats. Jill has had all her shots. She's already house-trained.

From Jill's current caretaker:

When a vet tech found me, along with two siblings Theo and Sassy, our eyes were matted shut. My foster mommy says I am an amazing little girl who is going to make a great addition for a lucky someone. Both my eyes are completely healed, and I have no vision issues. I am a fun girl who loves to snuggle and take naps with my foster family. I can't wait to find my furever family.

Bee-Bee is a female domestic shorthair kitten currently residing at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Bee-Bee will get along great with your other cats. She is looking for a dog-free household. St. Francis Society Animal Rescue, however, thinks she will do best in a home without small children. She's been vaccinated. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

From Bee-Bee's current caretaker:

My sister and I are twins and the only survivors out of a litter of six. We were born under a trailer and kept outside. Because of our experiences, we are shy and don't always do well at adoption events. But our foster mom says we are so loving and calls us Frick and Frack. We hope to be adopted together.

This sweet baby kitty can hold her own! She came to us from the county shelter along with her big brother, Stubs. He has been trying to tell her what to do from day one. Nope. She's got the loudest purr and isn't having it. But deep down, she loves her brother and all the other kitties in her foster home. She and Stubs would love to stay together and make you laugh forever and ever!
