He is the instigator in creating kitten frolics and delights in besting his siblings. He is very tidy with food and water, and is extremely particular about the litter box.

Blackberry	Blackberry DSH - DOB February 14 2023 Blackberry came into NHKR care very hesitant to trust humans. With time and patience in her foster home she has made outstanding progress with building relationships with trusted people. When meeting someone new, she will start off erring on the side of caution and can be timid. It could take her a couple of weeks in her new home to gain confidence and feel safe. When she is uncomfortable she will express her feelings by hissing, with wariness rather than aggression. Once Blackberry feels that she can trust her people she begins to let her guard down and show her vulnerable side. She doesn't mind being held for short periods of time. She loves being kissed...her foster mom smothers her with kisses and Blackberry will purr and drool with delight. She loves her ears being gently rubbed and long strokes of petting. She is getting accustomed to being brushed with a silicone brush and nail trims need to be done by someone experienced. She is very tidy in her litter box and has respect for the home and her people's belongings. Blackberry does like to nibble on plants and so her new family will want to ensure that all plants are cat safe and not accessible to her. Blackberry could spend hours in her foster's enclosed cat patio or sitting on the cat perch looking out the window. She has a playful personality but is also content to just chill on a comfy sofa. Blackberry does prefer to be the only cat in her household. She gets along with the feline-friendly dog in her foster home. She prefers the company of older children who have experience with cats and will respect her occasional need for space. Blackberry is a lovely girl who will be the delight of her new family.
Giuseppe	Giuseppe DSH - DOB June 8 2024 Giuiseppe came into his foster home as a single kitten and immediately engaged with his new kitten playmates. He is confident and curious, and likes to try to be the boss of the group, even though he is the smallest. He is tidy with his litter and food, but is vocal when other kittens try to intrude in his eating space. Giuseppe is high energy and playful, often with his kitten friends, but he is often found amusing himself with kitten toys. He must have a feline companion in his new home; a similar aged kitten or a young cat who could be persuaded to play occasionally. He is very affectionate when he is tired and will curl up in his person's lap for a snuggle, or lay his head in their hand. He enjoys being brushed. Giuiseppe has enjoyed meeting new people in his foster home and likes the company of older children.
Quince	Quince DSH - DOB 2023 Quince is a lovely young girl who loves to explore the house and especially loves to watch birds and other wildlife outside the window. She came to NHKR as a pregnant stray and was an amazing mom to her seven kittens. She is a small girl, so this was quite a feat! Quince loves to play with other cats and is respectful of the older felines in her foster home. She adores the foster family dog and greets her when she comes and goes. She loves to be petted, especially tummy rubs. She is getting used to being held but still prefers to sit with her people and be petted. Quince is an independent cat who will seek out her humans when she wants company and affection. She would be a wonderful companion to another adult cat or to a cat-friendly dog in a quieter, adult home.
Muppet	Muppet DLH - DOB May 8 2019 Muppet is a quiet and quirky young cat. Like his sister, Lady Jane, he was very timid and reluctant to trust people when he first arrived at NHKR but has since made progress. Muppet can still be cautious and skittish, especially around new people and new situations. He benefits from a slow, gentle and patient approach. He is an independent cat who keeps to himself and enjoys a good quiet spot to relax during the day (e.g., under a bed, in the cat house). Muppet loves to have his long, soft hair brushed. He will let you know by jumping up to where you are and reaching out his paw to tap you and signal that he is awaiting your attention. When he’s totally relaxed, he delights in lying on his back and having his belly rubbed. His warm, loud purr will melt your heart. He may even start licking your hand to show his approval. Like his sister, Muppet is a low energy and low maintenance cat. He enjoys lying in your lap even if Lady Jane is already there. He will either plunk himself on top of her or wedge himself where there is no room. Muppet is tidy with his food and litter. He is still learning to become comfortable with nail trimmings and requires an experienced person to accomplish the task. He is making progress with being held by his trusted people for longer periods of time. Muppet is bonded with Lady Jane and they must be adopted together. They would thrive in a quiet home with adults where they can continue to support each other and grow in confidence together.
Lady Jane	Lady Jane DSH - DOB May 8 2019 Lady Jane is a sweet and independent young cat. When she first came to NHKR, she was very shy and hesitant to trust people. She has since made progress and has shown growth in her confidence when around familiar people. Lady Jane is a lower energy cat and is quite content spending her days snoozing alongside her brother, Muppet. They can often be found together in the cat house snuggling and grooming each other. At night, she will retreat to her high perch and snuggle up with her favourite blanket which she will bring with her to her new home. During the night, when the house is quiet, Muppet and her like to play with and chase each other throughout the house. Once she warms up, Lady Jane seeks affection, loves to be pet and brushed with long strokes, and will let you know she is content with a warm, loud purr while rubbing up against you. When she wants to get your attention, she will let out a soft, faint meow. She loves to sit on your lap or share a bed with you at night, if you allow. Lady Jane is tidy with her food and litter. She is not food-driven although she does enjoy the occasional treat. Lady Jane is comfortable being held. She enjoys scratching her paws against a vertical cat post and requires an experienced person to trim her nails. Lady Jane would do best in a quieter home with adults. It will take her some time to become comfortable with new people as she often finds a quiet place to retreat while guests are visiting. Lady Jane is closely bonded with her brother, Muppet, and they must be adopted together. She gives him confidence and companionship. They can’t wait to find their forever home together!
River	River DMH - DOB June 2 2022 River is an absolute delight. He loves to give two-paw hugs and snuggle up under the chin of any of his people. Lap snuggles are also high on his list of things to do in a day. He has become confident and more independent as he has learned to trust people and understand that he doesn't have to have his eyes on people all the time to know that they won't leave him. He enjoys watching squirrels and birds from the window, as well as chasing strings on a wand or playing with one of his toys. He likes to nap on his cat tower, or in his cat bed on one of his foster family members desks, or on a chair or couch nearby. He is a great work from home or study companion! River must be an only cat in his new family. He is adjusting well to living inside again and is becoming accustomed to the daily noises of life in his foster home. He is generally happy to meet new people and often accepts them quickly. River usually loves to be picked up for snuggles or pats and will signal when he's had enough by wiggling or jumping down. He may swat (no claws), or bite if he is ignored. While this doesn't hurt (since he has no teeth), if you ignore his 'bites' it may ultimately escalate to him using his claws. He talks to his people to tell them when he wants food, snuggles or playtime. River has no teeth and is missing one third of his tongue, so he has particular needs when it comes to eating. It is suspected that he has food allergies so he eats a limited ingredient dry kibble purchased at a pet food store and wet food for cats with food sensitivities from the vet. This dry food's shape and size also enables him to consume his food easier. He needs a small high sided round bowl to help him scoop his dry food up into his mouth, and once he's done his best, the remaining crunchies are mixed with about a tablespoon of wet food mounded in the bowl. He has the most success at eating the last few pieces of dry food when it is arranged in small piles of 2-4 crunchies (mixed with wet food ) for him in his bowl.
