Story
Sabrina is a sweet 6 month old tortoiseshell kitten who was found near a spay neuter clinic with her sister, having been dumped there from across town. She likes to be on the move like many kittens do but also will cuddle with you. Sabrina enjoys canned cat food treats and playing with the other foster kittens. She hasn’t really been around dogs or kids but I’m sure could get used to either with proper introduction.

Story
Meredith used to be a member of a feral cat colony in Broussard. They have a caretaker that sees to their needs, and they all usually do fairly well there. However, we decided to take in Meredith because she was quite sick and needed to be on medication for multiple weeks. During that time, she's been in a foster home and has adjusted to the house-cat life quite well. She's now completely healthy and ready to find a forever home! Meredith is very much a diva and likes things her way. She's more like a roommate than a pet, to be honest. She can be very vocal when she wants something, usually either food or to go in/out of a specific room. She's not really a cuddley cat, but she does enjoy people's company. You'll often find her napping on the couch next to her foster parents while they're watching TV. The best way to win over Meredith's heart is through food - any kind of treats will do. You can also always count on her to join you in the kitchen when you're cooking food or sitting down for a meal. Meredith absolutely adores other cats and loves to play with the other foster kittens. Because of this, we'd love to see her go to a home that already has one or more friendly cats, but she'd probably be fine as an only child too. She's currently living with three large dogs and gets along with them quite well as long as they respect her personal space. Please consider letting Meredith join your family! *** If you'd like to make this pet part of your family, please fill out an online application today: https://form.jotform.com/211746872887169 *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would you like to help us with the financial cost of the pets in our care?

Zion and his brother, Dion, are the most affectionate little guys! They will hop up on your lap to snuggle and purr. Like most kittens, they also love to climb, chase, and wrestle with each other. They are both pretty easy-going and quickly adapted to being around large cats and dogs. They're great with children too! What makes these boys extra special is their *extra* toes. These boys are polydactyl, which makes it look like they're wearing mittens year-round! These cute little guys will be the perfect addition to your family! *** If you'd like to make this pet part of your family, please fill out an online application today: https://form.jotform.com/211746872887169 *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would you like to help us with the financial cost of the pets in our care?

Story
Xavier is a super sweet and loving cat. His favorite thing to do is to follow the volunteers around the building while they clean and then curl up in their laps for cuddle-time after they finish their chores. He wants to be friends with everyone that he meets, including other cats and dogs too! Xavier was originally found as a stray with a severe injury to his back leg which needed to be amputated. We aren't sure of how he obtained the fracture but suspect that he may have been hit by a car. He's completely healed now and ready to find his forever home with a dedicated owner that's willing to accommodate his special needs. Because of his disability, he would do best in a home that has carpet and/or rugs to help with his mobility. Additionally, he's gained a few too many pounds since he was on cage rest and how needs to be on a diet to avoid the extra stress on his remaining joints. Xavier is a very special boy and will give you a lifetime of love and laughter as repayment for giving him a home and a place in your heart! *** If you'd like to make this pet part of your family, please fill out an online application today: https://tinyurl.com/adoptcatform *** *** If you'd like to make this pet part of your family, please fill out an online application today: https://tinyurl.com/adoptcatform *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would you like to help us with the financial cost of the pets in our care?

Good with cats,
Story
I just moved into a new home in May and a cat showed up and had three kittens under my house. I found them a little over a month ago so they are probably 6-8 weeks old. I have made sure to play with them so they are socialized and well fed. The mom is also really sweet. I can't afford to get them all vaccinated and keep them inside so I would love to find a good home for them. They don't need to be adopted together.

Story
My name is Munchie, I am a 4 month old female tortie kitten. My parents adopted me a couple months ago but due to unfortunate circumstances they cannot afford to keep me. I’m very talkative and very cuddly. I currently live with my two kitty siblings who I do get along with. I’m not very picky when it comes to food but I prefer wet food. Nonetheless, I’ll be a happy camper as long as I’m with you!
