Our Latest Riverfront Rescue Kitten! Please Help Name Her!

This six week old female calico kitten was recently dumped in our neighborhood. Christine just rescued her and we are trying to brainstorm a name just as beautiful as she is. We would love to read your suggestions in the comment section below. We will let everyone now which one we picked. Isn't she a darling?

For Adoption: Ninji

Just look at those green eyes and satin sheen!

Here is our latest black cat rescue. Meet Ninji! He's an all black kitty except for the white spot on his chest.

Ninji was discovered by a customer at a gas station in West Miami. This little guy walked up to Frank and stood on his hind legs and pleaded with his front paws to pick him up and feed him and save him.

Frank looked around and noticed other young cats. Upon inquiring, he learned that the cats belonged to a local resident, an elderly lady. Sadly the daughter sent the mother away to a nursing home and dumped the cats outdoors.  The cruelty...we are continuously shocked and heartbroken. But, Frank contacted us and we picked up Ninji. Thankfully we had room for one more.

Ninji is long and lean and weighed 7 pounds in his first visit to the vet.  At first he only wanted to nestle on your lap and nowhere else.  It was obvious that his prior owner provided him much tender loving care.  Sequestered from the other cats, we slowly introduced him to the gang.

Soon Ninji emerged from his shell and demonstrated his agility, athleticism and acrobatics.  This combined with his endless energy, sleek body and satin sheen earned him the name Ninji.

Ninji will most likely retain a boyish face from his small round head and lean body.  After a couple of months he now weighs a healthy 9 pounds.

Ninji just received his second round of vaccinations and is neutered and got a clean bill of health! He's ready to go to his new home. Click here to review all his vet records (Donations welcome to cover the $200 vet bill--simply click on the "Donate" button to the right).

MORE ABOUT NINJI
With his high energy levels, it would be ideal for Ninji to have younger kitten as a playmate or guardian that actively tosses around his favorite toys--he loves to chase and fetch the fabric mice.

And he's a talker! Ninji makes different sounds when he's playing, prowling, and celebrating meal time.  There's the chirp, the mew (yes mew not meow), and the howl.  You'll learn cat language before you know it!

ADOPTION GIFT BASKET
For anyone who adopts Ninji, you will receive a black carrier, and a "Welcome Kitty Gift Basket" including a pet carrier, food bowl, toys, the delightful book The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey autographed by cat author Deb Barnes, and a bottle of Coppola Wine. Christopher Coppola and his black cat Otto are the famous guardian/cat duo and were celebrity guests at the Black Cat Gala in Miami. Christopher and Otto have generously donated the bottle of wine for anyone who adopts a black cat from Riverfront Cats!

Sweetie & Berrie

Two loving, black cats lost mother to ovarian cancer

Sweetie & Berrie are in empty house and need new home

"My mommy is gone. The house is empty.
My brother and I are alone and scared."

LOCATION: Miami, FL

UPDATE:  November 2012 Sweetie & Berrie have a new, loving home. A happy ending for two black cats.

Sweetie & Berrie are two black, declawed cats that lost their mother, Marlene Ristine,  to ovarian cancer. She learned about it in November of last year and after fighting a tough battle it metastitized to the liver and she recently passed away this month.

Sweetie & Berrie are by themselves in now in an empty house, without their mother, and without any furniture. Their anxiety is growing. Soon they will be without a home. A kind angel is visiting and feeding them daily but the house is now up for sale.  The clock is ticking for these two gorgeous black cats.

Sweetie is about 7-8 year old fluffy cat. She is a sweetheart and welcomes scratches on the head and will snuggle with you.

Berrie is a 5-6 year old male who loves to be petted and to play like most active boys.  Especially with any toy with a string.

"Where is everything? Where's my mommy?"

Both cats have been around dogs in the past. Sweetie & Berrie are litter trained and declawed.  They are wonderful pets and companions.

Marlene was an active volunteer in many ways, after retiring as a nurse. She volunteered at the police department, for the March of Dimes and tirelessly helped the Cat Network. She rescued many cats and dogs and found them homes. Now it's time for the community to give back to Marlene.
