A new kitty once a week! Click here to find out how your cat can appear on Van City Kitty.

Here are the deets on :

Breed/Colouring: Burmese, Brown and Tan with BIG blue eyes!

Hood: Main Street

Habits: Mickey is an excellent stealth ninja when it comes to the art of camouflage and hiding.

Hangouts: Under the covers, under the bed, under the laundry, under ANYTHING…or snoozing on top of girlie pillows.

Other info: Mickey is the ultimate definition of a “Fraidy Cat” if he hears a blade of grass break he is off and running faster than Katniss in the Hunger Games. Despite many human roommates attempts, Mickey is not an easy cat to befriend. He may come out of hiding for a quick sniff and if you’re lucky a pet or two but then he quickly scampers off to his hiding place again. The bedroom is his sanctuary and he always feels most relaxed there, always ready for belly rubs and lots of purring. Mickey recently got a new roomate/brother named Dexter. Mickey isn’t too sure about his giant new friend but he’s trying to make it work.


Name: Dexter

Breed/Colouring: Heinz 57, Grey and White

Hood: Main Street

Habits: Stalking, creeping, chattering at birds, running from one end of the house to the other while drifting around all of the corners, doing chin ups on the window sill, scoping out every square inch of the household (top of the fridge included), eating and being fat.

Hangouts: The window sill, on top of his scratching tower or anyone’s lap.

Other info: Named after TV’s most loveable serial killer, Dexter Morgan, this kitty does his best to live up to his name. Although he has never actually killed anything, he likes to practice his skills by picking fights with Mickey and his old best friend (Boba Fett, a German Shepard who was 10 times his size). He is only one year old so he is learning new skills every day. Most recently Mickey has been giving him boxing lessons and is teaching him agility, learning how to jump up gracefully instead of pulling and dragging his 21lbs up with his two front feet. When he’s not stalking and watching Mickey’s every move, he has a hard time understanding why Mickey doesn’t want to cuddle with him. Dexter is very sweet and loveable but unfortunately not all of the lights are on upstairs.
