Make Newt Part of Your Family Today!

San Andreas, CA….Meet Newt (A057480), male, gray, short-haired, young adult cat.  Newt is a sweet, gentle junior with a playful spirit and a soft purr. He loves chasing toys, cozy naps, and soaking up affection. Newt shares a special bond with his brother, Beetle, who has been by his side since birth. They spend their days playing, napping, and keeping each other company. Newt feels most secure when Beetle is nearby, and they bring out the best in each other. Ideally, they should be adopted together, as they’re a perfect pair who thrive in each other’s company. Rescued as young kittens without a mother, they’re best suited for an indoor-only home where they can feel safe and loved. Newt and Beetle are ready to bring warmth and companionship to a caring family.

    OMG! Ironic, I have a trio of dk choc siblings named Newt, Bones, and Spawn, who is give anything to place together. Their sister Ripley is the timid one of the bunch, and Spawn the most outgoing and would be perfect for a loving or even challenged teen with personality due to his incredible personality and kindred curiosity that goes perfect with his necessary lap time! Hed be ok from the group, but the two sisters, newt and bones, not a chance! They should have been joined at the hip! I’m convinced they are identical twins, due to the fact that I cannot tell them apart other than newtii keeps her collar on! Lol it she loses it, I’m done for lol but talk about the most affectionate lil gals! At any rate, I had a recent housefire and was in process of homing 4 separate litters. If anyone is interested in helping placement ASAP pls find me!! Due to the fire we are a couple weeks away from total displacement and no where to put these kitters… It’s been a challenge. I’ve been allowed to pack my things amongst the damage as it was isolated to kitchen, but the renovation situation will require the property clear, understandably so. I was pre move and had just started packing the place when this happened. Not a rush in any way like the force out now. Fires are so catastrophic… Worse than 2 abusive relationships at how hard it is to exist with no resources of any kind. It almost takes the fire out of you if I’m being honest. Used to think I was resilient to most anything. But this experience has all but smoldered my most inner power of place it seems. I’m sure the responsibility by number I’m looking after isn’t helping to get ahead, but better me than another as I have have my career life in the animal and emerg vet industry! I like to think they are the sole reason I’m still standing. U could add on 10 more and I wouldn’t even ask why! I refuse to shelter those needing homes, so any leads would be most appreciative! Is that ok to say in this?+ It’s my first time seeing this publication! I’m not meaning to break any rule! Pls let me know! Stay safe out there everyone!
