Meet Fern & Chamomile, a purr-fect pair of cuddly kittens looking for their forever home! 🐾✨

🌿**Fern** is playful, curious, and fearless! He’ll chase ribbons, cozy up with the family dog, and, after all that fun, curl up near your neck for snuggles. He’s fascinated by the human eye (don’t mind the little nose boops and licks!), and his purrs are on all night. Fern loves human kids and will happily nuzzle up with a friendly dog or cat, making him the perfect companion for a family or even a homebody senior.

🌼 **Chamomile** is calm, confident, and super sweet! She’s all about cuddles and playtime with toys or her siblings, and she’ll chat with you for attention. Her purr is non-stop, and she thrives in a calm home with quiet adults or older kids. Chamomile would do best in a relaxed environment where she can show off her affectionate side.

💕 Must adopt with sibling or as a buddy to another cat. These siblings are okay with kids, dogs, and cats. Ready for endless cuddles? Apply today at vokra.ca/adopt💕

🐾 **Meet Dutch Baby & Crumb!** 🐾

Dutch Baby is a cuddle bug who loves pets and back rubs, purring instantly to show her appreciation. She loves napping cuddled up with her brother, Crumb, often buried under him! Playful and full of energy, she enjoys zooming around the house with her siblings and especially loves the cat tunnel and feather-on-a-wire. Though she startles easily due to a rough start, once you start petting her, her purr motor kicks in, and she’s in heaven. A more experienced cat owner would be ideal to help Baby build trust. 💖

Crumb is the fastest in the family! Although he was initially shy, with patience, he’s become social and loves being near his people. When he’s nervous, he still sticks around, always choosing to stay close. Just like Baby, Crumb has a special love for the cat tunnel and feather-on-a-wire, and he's begun curling up closer and closer to his foster family. With gentle care and patience, he’ll keep opening up and growing more comfortable. 🧡

These two are a bonded pair and need a loving, cat-savvy adopter to help them continue building trust. 🏡

📌 **Requirements:**
- Must be adopted together
- Okay with older kids (8+)
- Best in a home with other cats
- Age:3 months

She’s playful and sweet, and her purrs are as loud as her love for her family. 🐈💖 With patience and understanding, both Oatmeal and Flapjack will warm up and become the snuggliest companions.

🐾 Meet Abantu! 🐾 This playful, smart, and handsome kitty is searching for his forever home. It may take a little time to gain his trust, but that won't stop him from chasing his feather toy, greeting you at the door, or sneaking up from his favorite hiding spots! 🎣👻

Once he's comfy, Abantu will show his affection with loud purrs and loves to snuggle right next to you (or on your legs!) 🐈‍⬛💕 He’s all about chin scratches, head massages, and an occasional back rub. Just remember, he likes cuddles on his own terms since he gets overstimulated sometimes. Abantu is a chill housemate and will happily nap in a cozy spot while you’re out. 💤

Abantu needs an experienced cat parent who’ll be patient and understand his unique way of communicating. His perfect home is a calm environment with no young kids – and bonus points if you have a blanket for him to knead! 🧶✨
