Story
About two years old, Momma was discovered to be slightly pregnant when spayed, thus her temporary (one hopes) name. This may have been her first litter, or she may have had more kittens in the past. At any rate, she will have no more. Momma was tired when we did her photo shoot, but is normally active in a rather calm and quiet way. She is all set now to enjoy a life of luxury, with someone providing her love, food and shelter in their home. She will reward them with lots of affection and purrs! ##1666774##

Story
Gabriel is a handsome tabby cat, ready for a new home. He likes people, and is willing to spend some time cuddling with you. He doesn't, however, like other cats. He had a home, and lots of love from the two young women there, but he started getting possessive about their affection. There were two other cats in the household, and this caused problems. So he was reluctantly returned to Heartland. Gabriel will be a sweet, loving companion kitty for his new person or persons, but must be a single cat. ##2185605##

Story
Lacy is a beautiful orange & black tortoiseshell kitty. Back in April, she gave birth to 3 orange male kittens...however she is now ready to let those ornery boys find their own way. Her momma duties are fulfilled, and, as she is a true "tortie" princess, it's time for Lacy to find a home where she will be cherished and loved. Like most torties, she has a bit of spunk, a good helping of curiousity, and a wish to be loved. She will cuddle with you when needed, and reward you with purrs as you pet her lovely fur. ##2083144##

Story
Nora has done her duty toward her kittens, and is ready to find a forever home of her own. She was a good mama, but, unlike humans, once those babies are 3 months old, she is done! She is now spayed, a sweet and gentle girl, just 3 years old herself. Nora likes people, and will rub against you to say she would like some attention, please. She will cuddle with you, and lay beside you when you sit down to relax. She is calm and loving, and doesn't ask much...just some basics, food, water, litter, and some pets and snuggles when you can. She will purr to show her gratitude. ##2208342##

Story
Four month old Camille is quite the lover girl when it comes to people. She will come and jump in your lap and rub her face against yours to tell you how much she loves you. And she is vocal, too. I wish we could know what she's saying! Much as she likes people, Camille doesn't relate well to the other foster kittens. She hisses and someimes swats at them. , but has finally come to realize tht they are part of the package. Camille has deep brownish green eyes to go with the interesting markings on her face and fur. She will be a wonderful companion for some lucky person or family. ##2215176##

Farley is a very versatile guy. He can be both lover and an entertainer. He has fun chasing and wrestling with the other foster kittens, as well as playing with his toys.  And he is always happy to be held and petted by his people. Farley is a gray tabby, almost nine months old. He is an active kitten, friendly to all. There are dogs in his foster home, but in another area. Farley is old enough that one can know what his personality is like, and he scores high on being a sweet and loving boy, perfect for a family pet or a companion to brighten your day. ##2134915##

Hey there I'm pumpkin Spice. I'm a young girl that had kittens at a young age and wasn't really ready to be a mom.  I was very over protective of my babies and did not want anyone near them.  I can be a little spicy but over all I'm a good girl.  I love to play with toys but sometimes I get over stimulated and play a little rough.  I would do best in a home without small children.  I'm not sure if I really like other cats so would maybe be best to be an only cat.   DOB 1/25/2022 Adoption Fee: $75 Apply at www.all4animalsrescue.org ##1803029##

Kitten Kaboodle is a very sweet shy boy.  When her first came to us he had recently had eye surgery and recovered very nicely.  He gets along with dogs and most other cats but does tend to keep to himself.  He loves wet food and laying in his cat tower most of the time.  He would do best in a home with older children.  He currently houses with Rufus and they love being together. Birthday: 7/4/19 Adoption Fee: $75 Apply to adopt at www.all4animalsrescue.org ##1772252##

Hello, my name is Key and I am a female.  Did you know that 80% of Tabby's are male?  That make me pretty unique to be a female.  Tabbies are also affectionate and intelligent.  I'm sometimes too affectonate and don't want you to stop petting me.  Othertimes I just want to do my own thing and keep to myself.  I love to look out the window at the birds and sit up high on a perch.  I'm kind of picky with other cats, I mostly get along with males and tolorate females but prob would do best with a male.  My best friend at the rescue is Toast him and I like to sleep next to each other and get along pretty well.  So if your wanting two of us Toast would be my choice to hang with.  I hope you will consider adopting me I would really like to be in a loving home But do need to be with an experienced cat owner. I would do best without young children or dogs.  Birthday 2/22/2019  Adoption Fee $75 Apply at www.all4animalsrescue.org ##949236##

Story
Ying Yang is my friend’s cat. One day she and her daughter had troubled breathing and the doctor told them they are allergic to cat. I thought I could help and agreed to take care if YingYang for a while. My friend can’t take him back so I have to take care of him. I have him since March. I work 60 hours a week and my son is in high school and has a lot of after school activities; he usually comes back home late. Plus my husband is blind and he ends up stepping on the cat since he tends to lie down on the floor. Ying Yang is a sweet cat and very vocal. He’d be a good addition to your family, especially if you have younger children.

Story
I’m looking for a loving home for my sweet cat. She’s the most affectionate and gentle cat you’ll ever meet, but she’s struggling with fleas that I haven’t been able to fully eliminate despite months of trying. She also has a heart murmur and isn’t spayed, and unfortunately, I can’t afford the treatments or procedures she needs. She deserves a home where someone can give her the care and attention I can’t right now. She’s an amazing companion, and it breaks my heart to let her go, but I want what’s best for her. Please reach out if you’re able to give her a chance at a better life.
