Hi there… I’m Simba.
I’m a little orange tabby with a big heart and a love for cuddles.

Before I met Lil’ Blue, my world was scary and loud. I was in a shelter, and while the people were kind, I didn’t know what my future would be. Every day felt like waiting… hoping… wondering if someone would choose me.

Then I met him.

Lil’ Blue was small, gentle, and needed a friend just as much as I did. The moment we were together, everything felt right. We played like we’d known each other forever. We curled up to sleep like it was the most natural thing in the world.

He wasn’t just a buddy.
He was my brother.

Now we do everything side by side — chasing toys, tumbling around, falling asleep in warm piles. We adore sleeping with our foster mom, sitting in her lap, and soaking up all the love we can get. I’m just as much of a cuddle bug as Lil’ Blue — maybe even more — and I never say no to a good snuggle.

I’m about five and a half months old now, and I’m learning that life can be really beautiful when you feel safe and loved.

But as happy as we are here, we know this is just the beginning. We’re waiting for our people — the ones who will see us not as two cats, but as one bonded heart. The ones who will spoil us rotten, laugh at our antics, and let us sleep curled up nearby every night.

Please don’t ask us to be separated.
We’ve already found our forever friend in each other.

Now we’re just waiting to find our forever home — together.

Love,
Simba & Lil' Blue 🧡

Hi… I’m Lil’ Blue.
I’m a little Siamese/Ragdoll mix with soft fur and an even softer heart.

Not so long ago, I was all alone outside. I was covered in fleas, my ears hurt, and I didn’t feel very good at all. Mostly, though, I felt lonely. I didn’t know if anyone would notice me or care enough to help. But someone did. Someone scooped me up and showed me that kindness still exists.

Now I’m safe. I’m healthy. And I’ve learned that I love cuddles — a lot. I’ll curl into your arms, press my face into your neck, and purr like I’m trying to say thank you for every warm moment. People are wonderful… but I was still missing something.

A friend.

That’s when Simba came into my life. He was rescued from a shelter — a place full of noise and uncertainty — and when we met, something magical happened.

We weren’t just friends.
We were soul brothers.

We play together, nap together, and follow each other everywhere. If you see me, Simba will be close behind. If Simba’s curled up in a lap, I’m not far away. We sleep together, dream together, and sometimes even pile into foster mom’s lap together because being close feels like home.

I’m about five months old now, and Simba is just a little older at five and a half months. We’re growing fast — growing braver, happier, and more hopeful every day.

I don’t want to be without him. He helped heal the lonely part of my heart.

All I wish for now is a forever home — one that understands that we come as a pair. A home that sees two handsome little faces and knows there is so much love behind them. A home that will spoil us, cherish us, and never let us feel alone again.

If you open your heart to me…
You get Simba too.
And together, we’ll love you forever.

Love,
Lil’ Blue & Simba 💙

Hi… I’m Michael.

I’m a black Bombay boy with a big heart, and for a while, I didn’t have a place to belong.

I used to hang around a house where everything smelled warm and safe. I would sit by the door and hope maybe — just maybe — someone would let me inside. I tried so hard to make friends with the kitty who lived there. I was gentle. I was patient. I even tried little chirps and soft purrs to show her I meant no harm.

But she hated me.
Really, truly hated me.

No matter what I did, she chased me, hissed at me, and made sure I knew I wasn’t welcome. I didn’t understand why. I just wanted a friend. I just wanted a home.

The human who lived there was kind to me, though. She could see that I was trying, and she worried — really worried — that her kitty might hurt me. She said I deserved so much more than fear and cold nights outside. And one day, she reached out for help… and everything changed.

I was brought to a foster home filled with kindness. And guess what?
There’s a kitty here who actually likes me — and I love him right back. I finally have a friend! We play, nap, and share space without anyone trying to chase me away. It feels so good, I can’t even put it into words.

That’s why I’ll need at least one friendly kitty in my forever home. I’ve learned that I’m happiest when I have another cat to love. I really want my best friend.

I’ve also learned that I’m really good at being indoors. My foster mom says I’m a perfect gentleman — clean, polite, and truly grateful. I love people so much. I love being close, cuddling into soft blankets, leaning into hands that pet me, and rubbing my head against the people who make me feel safe.

I guess that’s what happens when you’ve known loneliness… you treasure love extra hard.
I’m handsome, they say — shiny black fur, bright eyes — and sometimes I act a little silly just to make my humans laugh. A goofy flop here, a playful twirl there… it feels good to be happy again.

But even with all this joy, a part of me still wonders when it will be my turn.
When someone will choose me — forever.
When I’ll finally hear the door open and know that I’m home for good, not just visiting.

I’ve waited a long time for that feeling.
If you have love to give… if you have a friendly kitty who wouldn’t mind a gentle sweetheart like me… if you want a cuddly boy who will adore you with his whole heart…

Then maybe — just maybe — I’m the one you’ve been looking for, too.

Love,
Michael 🖤
