Tatiana and Tiana Bring the Tortitude to The Cat Cafe

If you come to visit us and don't see us right away, you should look up. No, not high enough. All the way up to the top of the eight feet tall palm tree. There's a good chance that's where we are. It's where we first went when we arrived and it's still our favorite spot.  Don't worry about us getting stuck. We scared all the people here a few times when we jumped right from the top of the tree to the ground. We've decided that while we can do it, it's easier to land on the lower palms instead. And when we do, our favorite thing is to get pet.

When I was a kitten, I was scared and needed a place to feel safe. That was a tree near a colony of community cats. The feeder soon found that I was interested in human attention and they got me to The Rescue House. Now I'm here and it won't come as any surprise to you that I like being up high, including the top of the palm tree that's eight feet tall.  When I'm on the ground, the thing I like the most is attention. I'll follow you around and if you give me a chance, I may hop up onto your shoulders. Sure, the wand toys are fun, but attention from you is what I really like.

Two of my kids and I went up to a feeder and said hello and showed them how friendly we are. That's when we entered The Rescue House system. My two kittens grew up and got adopted from here, so hopefully it's my turn.  I'm a playful and affectionate girl, but if I get too much attention, I'll let you know by getting mouth or paws on. That's okay. Just get a wand toy and play with me so that I can get my excess energy out and I'll be ready for pets. If you can handle a cat who's a little capricious, I may be the right girl for you.

When a person feeding a colony of cats came to help us one night, I and my two teenage sons ran over to say hello. The feeder decided that we belonged inside and got us to foster home for The Rescue House. And now, all of us have made our way to The Cat Cafe.  First up were my sons. Bramble and Manhattan got adopted quickly after they arrived, because they were so fun and entertaining together. And now that I've arrived, I've shown all of the staff and volunteers where they got that from. One thing you'll have to be careful of is that I love to get paws and mouth on with people I like. This means I'm not going to be good in a home with young children or elderly people. But if you don't mind a love bite or two, you'll enjoy me.

I've come a long way since I was captured by employees at a Costco. I'm a smart and quick cat, and it took them all day to do it. It was a bit of a shock for me to go into a foster home because I had never lived inside. But I soon learned to like it. I needed to get some dental work done, and had to go back to the foster home to recover from that. As soon as I did, I rejoined the clowder at The Cat Cafe.  Just like the first time I arrived, I'm playful, fast, and fun. I like to chase around toys, especially mice and balls. And sometimes, I make the other cats toys as well. Come and see how fast I can make it around the room and enjoy my speed!

Our lives got off to a fortunate start when a kind person found our pregnant mother caged in an abandoned building. Shen went to a foster home for The Rescue House and gave birth to us. We stayed with her until we were old enough to be on our own. After that, we got adopted and though we had a home of our own. Unfortunately, things changed for our adopter and we went back to The Rescue House.  We've been at The Cat Cafe for a while and everyone likes us. We greet the staff and visitors with loud meow and entertain them by licking condensation off of cups and doing other silly things. But we sure could use a home of our own. Maybe yours? Hope and Leo are the ginger and tortie and Twix and Kit Kat have the candy bars.

The first thing you'll notice about me is that I'm missing an eye. That's because it was badly infected and someone took me to a doctor to get it treated. They left me there after it was. The doctor got me to The Rescue House, and after some time to recover, I joined the clowder at The Cat Cafe.  I'm not the most active cat our there, and I like relaxing and observing things instead of sticking my paws into the action. That doesn't mean I don't like interacting with people. Pet me right and I'll start to make air biscuits for you and rev up the purr motor. If you're looking for a mellow and calm cat who will spend his time by you but not pester you for attention, I'm your boy.

Hi there. I'm Alexander. I was living in a home where there were too many cats, and none of us were getting fixed. As you can guess, that meant the population of us felines exploded. As the people in the cat room like to say, without the cats being fixed, the 12 cats in the cat room would quickly become 20. Fortunately for us, The Rescue House was able to come in and take care of things. All of us got the care we needed in order to get a chance to thrive, and that includes getting fixed. For me, it meant I became a special cat. I'm cat number 20,000 for The Rescue House. They're setting a goal of raising $20K by the end of the year on my behalf. Please visit rescuehouse.org to donate and let them know you're doing it in my name.  Thanks for supporting The Rescue House. They saved me!

If you're looking for a cat who likes to talk, I'm your boy. That's right. I'm a boy even though I have a name that sure sounds like a girl's name. I demand pets from people who come in to interact with us cats. And when I'm not doing that, you can get me to play by using a wand toy like the people in the cat room tell you. Another thing I like? My sister Smudge. She and I like to snuggle together and hang out with each other when we're not playing. And sometimes, our favorite toy is each other.  Come see if I'm the right guy for you and be sure to make room for my sister.
