Gem

Hi everyone! My name is Gem and I am just the sweetest little female tuxedo kitten approximately 6 months of age. Myself and my five siblings were born in the backyard of a kind woman’s house in Barto. This kind woman brought all of into her garage to keep us safe with the intention of finding either homes for us or a shelter to help us. Sadly none of the shelters in her area were able to help so she started calling rescues further out and thankfully reached Kitty Junction who was able to take all of us into foster:)

​We can honestly say that Gem has hit the jackpot with her new furever family!! Sadly we received a text from one of our very dedicated volunteers and previous adopter Mark that one of our adopted kitties Belle had passed away very suddenly from a seizure leaving the family and her kitty brother Marshmallow devastated. She was only a few years old Knowing how bonded Marshmallow (affectionately called Mel) and Belle were, Mark and his daughter Sarah thought Mel would benefit from having a new sister. We set up a meet n greet and were so happy to hear that Mark and Sarah loved Gem! The next step was to hopefully see if Mel loved her just as much and as you can from their pictures it couldn’t have been a better match!! Mark and Sarah have renamed her Sally and despite her initial shyness she settled in their home in remarkable time She definitely is learning the ropes from Mel including following his lead in their love of water! Every night as Mark gets ready for bed, Mel jumps up on the bathroom counter where he patiently waits for his Dixie cup of fresh water. Sally has now joined in and taken it a step further and wants it directly from the spicket She will also immediately jump into the shower after Mark is done to be able to get the drips from the faucet not minding at all when some of them hit her on the head lol! That is also when Mel and Sally are most active running and chasing one another. Mark says Sally will literally fly over his bed in a single leap. Sally loves playing with Mel’s finger tube toys but also loves her toy mice! After some hardcore playing, Sally often can be found passed out with one paw touching one of her toys When Mel is too sleepy to play during the day, Sally spends a lot of time with Mark in his home office trying to walk on his keyboard and even accidentally hanging up one of his work calls Most times when she is sleepy though she will seek out Mel to curl up with as you can from her pictures
We wish Mark, Sarah, Mel and Sally a wonderful life together!!
