She was a mom (at a VERY young age). And she s a very small cat. The drain on her system made her weak and sick for months. But she is much better now and waiting for that special home.

She is a SMOKE black tuxedo (my FAVORITE) ;)

And this is Simba. (he is the attached photo, no time to upload) He is a sweet boy. He HUGS! :D

[icedtea]

[pnance]

They are such sweet looking kitties. Shelly looks a lot like my MC...and I agree the tuxedo look is great...their always dress up. :rolleyes:

[rosethecopycat]

Awwww.

They look so happy and grateful to be with you.

[kimlovescats]

Welcome sweeties! ;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

They're both adorable. I hope that they'll find their forever homes soon. :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Awwww , Shelley looks a lot like my Zazou, a teen-mom too.. !
Those 2 will find new forever homes in a split of a second!!

I got tears in my eyes when I saw Simba. He looks just like my RB Mikey, who was the most loving cat I have ever seen. We had Mikey for almost 17 years and in that time he never hissed or growled ONCE. He was my lover boy. :(

Shelley is so pretty, those little tuxies always look so formal!

YOU CATS ARE BOTH IN ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN THE USA,TO FIND NEW HOMES,AS OUR HERO JEN AND CHARLES ARE FURR EVER HOME FINDING HALL OF FAMERS.
DONT WORRY,YOU HAVE FOUND CAT PARADISE,SHELLEY AND SIMBA.

[Rie Rie]

Shelly is pretty little thing and looks very sweet, shouldn't be hard to find her a home.

[Sonia59]

Wow, they are beautiful! I am sure they will find a good home. :)

[bluekat]

Aw they're both beautiful! Good luck with them :)

[Lizzie]

Shelly looks a little rough around the edges but is going to be glossy and georgous in no time, I'm sure. She has lovely eyes, almost a celadon green. For those of us who are new to this forum, Jen, how does your foster system work? If you worked with a shelter, I'm assuming the task of finding a permanent home would be done by them. You work with a rescue group and each rescuer takes full responsibility?

What beautiful new fosters :)

I work with a rescue group. They take responsibility for the animals. Vet bills are covered by the group. They "advertise" the cats on Petfinder and have adoption events and fund raisers and all that good stuff. We, the volunteers and foster moms, can help in the adoption process.....talking to the people, home visits.....etc, but we need to use the groups "criteria". Like, they can not have the cat declawed, it must be an indoor only pet....etc. We can't allow them to make an exception to our rules just because it is fostered in our home.

I could never do this without the support of a group.

I'm praying they find furrever homes, and that Toby Greg does, too. He, too, gave me LES.

[NoahsMommy]

Oooohhhhhh, Shelly is a gorgeous girl! Jen, smokey tuxy? Is that like more greyish black than dark black? Either way, she is stunning. She'll find her furrever home real quick! :)

Simba is VERY handsome!! As soon as I opened the picture, he reminded me of a full-grown Basie!!! SOOOOO cute!!!

[jenluckenbach]

Black smoke is her color. It means that the undercoat (roots) are white and the tips are black. So when you part the hair you see the white underneath.

She is a little sweetheart.

But Simba is LOVE in a fur coat. And what an amazing PURR therapist.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Awww such beautiful kitties!

[jazzcat]

Jen they are adorable. Simba sounds like my dream kitty "love in a fur coat". I love that!!!

I hope they find their forever homes soon but at least they are in a great place for now.
