Notes: Venus is a beautiful ruddy Somali with a sweet disposition. She has the deepest mahogany color we have ever produced in 25 years of breeding toward the perfection of the Somali breed. She would make a great household pet, but also has the potential to be shown in ACFA or CFA in the alter class.

Cat's registered name: CH Tajhara Tequila Moon of Odakota
Cat's call name: Kiki
Breed: Somali
Color: Blue
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 03/26/2008
Sex: Female; spayed
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: CFA, TICA
Cat's location: Detroit Metro Area, Michigan
Home preferences: Adults-only household. Other cats OK; no dogs.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://www.odakotasomali.moonfruit.com
Notes: Kiki is a sweet, affectionate girl that loves attention and may take some time for her to adjust to new people but is worth it and she can be quite a clingy little girl. She still loves to play (laser pointers are a must with her) and would be fine as an only cat or be with other non overly dominate cats or kittens. She's not aggressive but can be a little bossy with a bop on the nose.

Cat's registered name: Rampageous Ruddy Boys
Cat's call name: Unnamed
Breed: Somali
Color: Ruddy
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 11/02/2009
Sex: Male; neutered
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: None, but are registerable in CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: No younger children (0-5); older children OK.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: These 2 Somali boys were born around the time their breeder was diagnosed with terminal cancer. During her illness, they had very little socialization, so they are quite shy, and now she is gone. They are in very great need of someone with patience and understanding and a willingness to help these boys discover the joy of relationships with people. A home with another very social cat would probably be helpful.

Cat's registered name: Rampageous Something to Believe In
Cat's call name: Billy
Breed: Somali
Color: Ruddy
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 06/06/2008
Sex: Male; neutered
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: No younger children (0-5); older children OK. Other cats or dogs OK.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: Soon after Billy was born, his breeder/owner was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Although originally intended as a show cat, that was not to be. Billy didn't get the attention he needed to become well socialized, and is very shy. He needs a person with great patience and love to bring him out of his shell. Someone who understands cat behavior, or is willing to learn how to deal with scared cats would be best. Billy deserves a home where he can feel safe and learn the joys of having a relationship with humans.

Cat's registered name: Rampageous American Pie
Cat's call name: Pie
Breed: Somali
Color: Ruddy
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 06/06/2006
Sex: Female; spayed
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: 1 or 2 other cats OK; dogs OK.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: Pie's breeder/owner passed away from cancer, and Pie needs a new home. For the past year she has had only daily visits from a petsitter for human company, but she CRAVES attention. She is a very dominant cat, so should only be with other kitties who can hold their own and not feel picked on. A neutered male companion cat might be best. Pie deserves a home of her own!

Cat's call name: Crudface
Breed: Somali
Color: Ruddy
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 06/06/2004
Sex: Female; spayed
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: Can be registered with CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: Children of any age OK. 1 or 2 other cats OK; no dogs.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: This poor darling shouldn't be judged by her name! She had allergies when she was young and scratched up her face and had gooey eyes. She is on a special diet now and her issues are mostly cleared up, but because she couldn't be shown, she was never given a registered name and was stuck with this one. Her owner passed away from cancer a year ago, and her human contact since then has mostly been daily visits from the petsitter. She is a very loving, friendly cat who is starved for attention and will let you know it. She tends to get picked on by the more dominant cats in the house and so should be in a home only with non-dominant cats.

Cat's registered name: Louise
Cat's call name: Louise
Breed: Somali
Color: Ruddy
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 06/06/2003
Sex: Female; spayed
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: Other cats or dogs OK.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: Louise's breeder/owner passed away from cancer, and so Louise has had mostly just daily visits from the petsitter as her human contact. When she feels like getting attention, she'll ask for it, but she is used to being alone. She does have litter box issues - she poops right next to the box. She could most likely be retrained if she were kept isolated for a while, and perhaps Cat Attract litter were used; she's always had to share boxes and that may be what she doesn't like. Different cats prefer different kinds of litter and boxes, so a solution can be found. She is unfortunately a victim of circumstance and deserves a home where she can be loved.

Cat's registered name: Rampageous Brown Sugar
Cat's call name: Sugar
Breed: Somali
Color: Blue
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 06/06/2003
Sex: Female; spayed
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: 1 or 2 other cats OK; dogs OK.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: Sugar's owner passed away from cancer, and her human contact over the last year has been mostly the daily visits from the petsitter. She is a friendly cat, but would need some patience to adjust to a new situation. She is used to other cats, but is very dominant towards them, so a home without cats, or only with cats who are not dominant or not too easily intimidated by other cats would be best. Basically she needs lots of attention and she could be a great pet for some lucky family.

Cat's registered name: Mistekatz Wesley of Rampageous
Cat's call name: Wesley
Breed: Somali
Color: Ruddy
Date of Birth (mm/dd/yy): 05/17/2001
Sex: Male; neutered
Pet or show quality? Pet
Registered with: CFA
Cat's location: Solon (Cleveland area), Ohio
Home preferences: No younger children (0-5); older children OK. Other cats or dogs OK.
Homepage where cat can be seen: http://minkitty.com/Rampageous_Somali_Cat.html
Notes: Wesley's owner passed away from cancer a year ago. He is a very sweet boy and would be in your lap 24/7 if you let him. He loves attention and gets long well with other cats. However, he was a breeding male. After he was neutered, he did not have any litterbox issues at first; later he was let out into the house with the smells of other cats who had soiled on the floor, etc., and he started to pee outside the box. It shouldn't be too difficult to retrain him to use the box by isolating him to a small room and using Cat Attract or other litter, as long as there are no smells from other cats having soiled outside the box. Wesley just wants to be loved, and he deserves a human (or 2 or 3!) to love him, more than the once a day contact he's been getting from the petsitter. Please consider giving Wesley a chance!
