“What doin’, lady?” wonders Nigel.
Benji’s just hanging out, hoping some Churu lands in his mouth.
It’s a Matilda pie. (My favorite!)
Nigel likes to be carried around. (Also, doesn’t he have some delightful stripes?)
Benji’s havin’ a think.
Sebastian and his true love. (He is down to one (1) bottle per day, in the morning. He just stopped taking his nighttime bottle all of a sudden. The NERVE.)
It’s a Margarita pie. (You might be surprised to hear that it’s my favorite!)
Matilda goes for a climb.
Sebastian in my lap, checking out the ceiling fan.

Lilia’s all “Kittens? Is that how you say it? Kit-tens? Nope, can’t say as I’ve ever heard of ’em.”
“No kittens here, lady.”
Thus far, the belly has not proven to be a trap. She loooves a good belly rub, even if I stop occasionally to feel for kitten movement.

I said “Charlie, WHY are you outside in this ridiculous heat?” and he said “I’m fine.” WHATEVER. (He and Khal do eventually come inside around noon and stay inside for the better part of the afternoon. Once the back yard is shaded in the late afternoon, back out they go again.)

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday.
“Ha ha! Made ya look!” says Lilia. Nope, no kittens yet – she goes in and checks out the crate a couple of times a day, but has spent no real time in there. I’m hoping she decides to give birth in the crate, but y’know – she’s the boss.
Adopt Nigel, and you will never know another awkward silence. The boy is chatty and he loves to tell you what’s what! (Read his profile, below, and mail Forgotten Felines of Huntsville at info (at) ffhsv.org to inquire.)
NIGEL (DOB: 3/27/25; orange tabby, male) was living under a sign at a local restaurant with his mother and sister. They were trapped and came to Forgotten Felines when he was about 5 weeks old. NIGEL is a talker. If you walk into the room, he’s got something to say. If you’re a little slow scooping food out of the can, he’ll let you know about it. If you look sideways at him, he wants you to know his opinion. You never have to wonder what Nigel’s thinking; he’ll always, always tell you! Fortunately, he’s a super sweet, snuggly guy who loves to be petted. If you flip him onto his back and hold him like a baby, he purrs and purrs (in a room of purry kittens, he’s a standout!) He is a very high energy kitten who plays like a crazy boy, racing back and forth and jumping on the other kittens. He has a very reactive tail – if something startles him even the tiniest bit, the fur on his tail stands on end, and it is very funny to see. He loves playing with trackball toys, chases rattly mice and ping pong balls. If you give him a toy with feathers attached, you shouldn’t expect to get it back, because he will run all over the place and growl at every other cat he sees so that they know the toy is HIS. He gets along great with other cats and must have a kitten or playful cat to play and snuggle with. If you’re looking for a pair, he’s great buddies with his foster sister Matilda. He should be fine with nice dogs as well.
We are located in Huntsville, Alabama; out of area adoptions are allowed, but adopters must come here to complete the adoption since Nigel is rarely in possession of the one brain cell all orange cats share and will likely drive that car straight into a ditch and then wonder how that happened.

Tossing toys for the kittens… as you do!
Banana for scale.
*Lilia is a foster for a rescue here in Huntsville, Alabama. When her kittens are weaned, she will be spayed and then available for adoption through Forgotten Felines of Huntsville. Her kittens will also be spayed & neutered and adopted out as well. Lilia is the 570th cat we’ve fostered; we’re familiar with the concept of spay/neuter.

Nigel has a purrrrrr.
Sweet, sweet Matilda just wants a lap to curl up in, a little petting, and if you’d toss a rattly mouse for her, that would be SUPER. She’s been spayed, is up to date on her vaccinations, and is ready to GO. Read her profile, below, and mail Forgotten Felines of Huntsville at info (at) ffhsv.org to inquire.
MATILDA (DOB: 3/21/25; black, female) was found as a tiny kitten alongside her brothers Monty and Benji. With no mother in sight, they came to Forgotten Felines, where they were bottle raised. MATILDA is a very sweet and snuggly girl who doesn’t come to you immediately – she needs to get to know you first – but once she decides you’re okay, she’ll climb right into your lap for a snuggle. She LOVES to play! Toss a toy, and she goes after it in a flash. Bounce a ping pong ball for her, and she leaps after it. If something startles her, she very well might just bounce in place with her tail all floofy. (Speaking of her tail, that’s one of her favorite toys! Watch her spin as she chases it; it always remains juuuust out of reach.) She will allow you to interrupt her playing if you need to give her a kiss, and one single kiss will make her purr for a long time. She gets along great with other cats and must have a kitten or playful cat to play and snuggle with. If you’re looking for a pair, she’s great buddies with her foster brother Nigel She should be fine with nice dogs as well.
We are located in Huntsville, Alabama; out of area adoptions are allowed, but adopters must come here to complete the adoption since Matilda got mad when we tried to teach her to parallel park, and now won’t get behind the wheel of a car for love or money.
