Meet Zoey, Zippy and Zilly. These three gorgeous sisters are looking for furever homes.

So this sweet crew was trapped in the woods at about 5 weeks old. Then they lived in a dog crate for 5 days for their safety, but it was also a little scary for them. Then they moved into my guest room on June 21st. Over the past 9 weeks they’ve gone from hissy traumatized babies living inside the box springs to the precious balls of hilarious energy you see in the pictures and videos. They are also now cuddle bugs with loud purrs. Once they figured out I am the giver of treats and belly rubs, they became tame in a hurry. They are so happy, funny and sweet; they play with toys and each other; they are very neat and litter box trained.They love my dog and have had lots of children come spend time playing and sitting with them. Never a dull moment with these girls.

Sometimes they are still shy about being held but they just need a little time with you. I know for a fact that Love always trumps fear! These kittens need big doses of love. Feral kittens bond so much with the people willing to be patient. That’s the gift on the other side of patience. I have loved watching them and earning their trust. It was an honor to spend my summer with them.

Zoe, Zippy, and Zilly have been lovingly fed and trained by my friend Lisa. If you have a child who has been begging for a cat (or 3), you can’t do better than these sisters.

Zippy is the smallest girl but also mighty hunter and toys. She will slay her stuffed tiger and drag it to her den to eat later. She has been described as a diluted calico; she seems to have been painted with watercolors. She enjoys a good back scratch, and once you have her trust, she’ll give your legs a good rub. She’s the smallest with the loudest purr. She also loves to flip over an over in your lap until she finds just to the position.
