Mittens is a 6 year old cat. I was at a yard sale and they had a box of 10 week old kittens so I thought I'd surprise our then 6 year old son with his 1st kitty, um. Hubby was surprised too. lol She loves playing with yarn. I buy cat toys and she ignores them.

I recently adopted Rocket from a local no-kill animal shelter. He is the biggest lovebug. He loves to be photographed with me.
I rescued Sasha from a local rescue group about 2 1/2 years ago that said she was dumped on their doorstep with 2 other kittens.
We got Oolong from my parents almost 12 years ago now. 'He is getting up there in age, but he still loves to dart under beds in rooms he isn'''t allowed to go in.
I wanted to share a photo of last month's Thrifyfun pet contest winner, Teddy Kelley, with his new cat tree purchased with his winnings!
I got him about 11-1/2 years ago, I saw Ping's picture on Petfinder. I drove 2-1/2 hours and arrived at the rescue shelter. After holding and playing with him for a few minutes, I felt an instant bond.
In January of 2011, my boyfriend's mom received a kitten as a gift from his sister. I had recently been trying to talk my dad into letting me have a cat in the house and he finally gave in, so I asked about getting a kitten from the same place as my boyfriend's mother.
She was born to us from a foster cat we took in. We often place cats in the summer months. I have eight I am keeping and not letting go though.
