Meet Nikki.

Meet Nikki.



Nikki is a lovely brown tabby Domestic Shorthair. Her birthday is Feb. 2, 2006 which by my watch makes her a kitten still. Her last owners noted that she is good with cats, dogs and children of all ages. She was surrendered because the son in her family is still a little too young to play nice with kitties. Nikki is current on all her shots, as well as microchipped.



Nikki is a mover and a shaker! Not one to be in one spot too long, she skipped from one tall location to another, curious to see the world outside, as well as the world in every hidden corner of the studio!

Once we got her settled long enough to pet her, the purrrrr-motor started right up and she sunk into being loved. Nikki's earthy green eyes were constantly following sounds around the room.

Meet Dude.



Dude lives up to his name! Eager to go where ever it is you lead, this guy is destined to be the ultimate companion. He is clearly still a puppy-- At all of 11 months of age, Dude is excited about EVERYTHING but quickly mellows when you spend a moment petting him, or ask him to sit for a biscuit.


I have to say that Dude was one of the easiest shoots I have had in ages. He sat on command, predictably performed the "adorable head tilt" and in yellow Lab fashion, casually hung out with Jeff and I like one of the gang.


Important to know about our friend Dude, is that he was released to the shelter for some escape maneuvers-- Seems he charged through a screen door to follow a playmate down the street. Dude is not a pet you can leave at home all day while you're at work- he will need a steady dose of attention, but in return, I promise you will have a solid gold pup!

Meet Gus.


Gus is a spunky, handsome, energetic character! Zooming this way and that, he was barely in one spot long enough to pose (and if he WAS posing it was under or behind a random piece of furniture!)



Full of spit and vinegar, little Gus is a young wild man who loves to run, jump, dive and generally frolic. Athletic and curious, the kitten in him is very apparent. He has incredible markings and striking orange eyes. Gus is petite and very soft, and in between the laps around the studio he purred and purred for treats and petting.




He does play a little rough with claws-- Which should be a behavior he out grows as he continues to be socialized and nurtured, however, he probably isn't right for a home with young children.


Occasionally a talker, Gus is very aware of his surroundings- LOVES watching the rain on the window and enjoys bathing himself about every ten minutes :)
