Midnight was abandoned at a local vet clinic and is really one caring soul. While she was at the clinic she took an active role in helping to save the lives of injured cats by donating blood. She's approximately 12-15 months old, vaccinated, sterilised and litter trained. She has a fun personality and loves to play and explore. Unfortunately, Midnight has now been with Feline Friends for six months, and though she appreciates her foster family she would dearly love a new home.

Bobby is a lovely black and white male, with beautiful silky fur. We are not sure of his exact age, although we think he is still quite young. He is a sociable cat and enjoys nothing more than a good chat about his day. He loves to play. Bobby is used to living in an apartment but would prefer a villa with access to the outdoors. He would fit in to a busy family home really well, as he loves to be around people and soak up the atmosphere. He is sterilised, litter trained and vaccinated.

Punkin is a 2-year-old female and is truly a house cat, fat and lovable. Her pastimes are to lay in windows, couches and on people. She loves to be loved. She likes to play sometimes, which is fabulous to watch. A perfect companion for an apartment dweller, she loves kids but doesn't get along well with other cats. Sadly she lost her entire tail in an accident but she doesn't seem to miss it.

Ginger is a 9-month-old neutered male cat. He's vaccinated and microchipped and is always glued to the TV. He's a sweet young man and likes to curl up in bed with you and enjoys a good play. He's litter trained and used to living in an apartment.
