Hi friends !  My name is Jacob and I am a handsome long haired grey tabby with a handsome white chest and beautiful white toes. I am a 3 year old love bug and I crave human attention. I love to play and then just nap in the sun. I am FIV negative and very healthy and of course handsome.   That's what they tell me anyway.... My foster mom calls me her handsome boy.

Story
Meet kitty Armondo!!!  He and his litter mates did not have the best start in life.  Their mom was a member of a feral cat colony that lived in a ravine.  People were very concerned about the little family and were finally able to trap them all.  Mom was feral.  The babies were scared but nice.  It just took a little while for them to understand that people are nice and are trying to help them.  Mom was spayed and released and the babies went to a loving foster home.  They have now all been totally vetted and are ready for their forever homes.  Armondo is a sweet but shy 12 week old kitten.  He loves to play with his siblings Leo and Amschel.  They have the biggest time running and playing.  Armondo is a polydactyl/Hemmingway kitten.  He is unique in that he has 5 toes.  It looks like he has hands.  This sweet boy is a very good boy.  It took no time at all to litter box train him.  He would love to have a home with one of his brothers.  If not though he definitely needs a home with another kitten or young cat.  He has been through too much to not have a companion.  Armondo is a special boy with the tiniest of meows.  He will be an excellent companion and addition to your family.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Armondo is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)      November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Story
Felix's mom was part of a feral cat colony living in a ravine in Nashville.  This colony caught the attention of several cat loving women who decided it was their mission to save the colony from serious over population and find loving homes for as many as could be tamed.  The were already feeding the colony so the cats were somewhat familiar with them.  Traps were set out and one by one they were all caught.  Considering the circumstances everyone was in good health and almost everyone had the personality to be in a family.  All the adults were vetted and the babies were vetted as they became old enough.  They are all now ready to find their forever homes.  Felix is a curious 5 month old orange tabby kitten.  He is litter box trained.  Felix loves to play with his littermates Molly and Winston.  He would really like to be adopted with one of them.  Felix also plays well with the other kittens and cats in his foster home.  He is a sweet little guy who would be a great addition to your family.  To be considered for Felix's forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Felix is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Story
Hi my name is Ricky Ricardo!  I am an 11 month old young man whose first 8 months were horrific.  I was born on the property of an oil company and lived in the pallets on the property with my brothers.  We were all part of a feral cat colony.  These nice ladies learned about our situation and decided they had to help us.  They started feeding us and then put these long narrow cages out with the most yummy food inside.  I could not resist and in I went.  Well guess what???  I could not get out.  That was very scary.  Then they took me to this building and left me.  That was the vet.  They were actually taking care of me!  That was first for sure.  Miss Becca stepped up to foster me and has helped me to adjust to INSIDE life as a pet.  I love it and have adjusted very well.  I get great food every day and it is never too hot or too cold.  I get along great with the other 5 cats here and am good with her young boys.  I do have a special friend who still needs a little help adjusting.  I call her my Lucy!!  Her name is actually Ruby.  We run and play and have the best time together.  If we get into any mischief it is always her fault.  (Not really but that goes with the story.)    She was found as a stray and just joined our group because Miss Becca could not say no.  If you are considering adding two kittens to your family then we are the ones for you.  I had all my vetting in September and Ruby finished her vetting on 12/14/23. We are now ready for the journey to our forever home.  To be considered for your family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. (We are currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)December 23, 2024, 12:05 pm

Hi my name is Ruby.  I am Ricky Ricardo's Lucy.  I even have the right color hair!!  I am being fostered with Ricky and his brothers.  I did not have as bad a start to my life as they did.  I was a stray.  A lady found me but could not keep me.  So Miss Becca took me in too.  I am 9 months old as of 6/13.  Ricky and I have the best time running and playing.  We spend a lot of time together.  If we get into any mischief it is always my fault!!  He is my special buddy but I get along well with all the kitties here.  I love people and am a very affectionate kitten.  I like to curl up and lay next to you.  Then my little motor starts up.  I would love to be adopted with my buddy.  You would really enjoy watching us play.  If you are considering adding two little ones to your family then we are the ones for you.  I am spayed, current on all shots, FIV negative and microchipped.  To be considered for my forever family please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Ruby is actually in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)    November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Meet Ross and Rachael, they are an incredible dynamic duo. They came to our rescue at 4 weeks old, feral as all get out. Today they are the most loveable cuddly brother/sister combo ever. They are wild and crazy kittens, that will entertain you hours on end. Ross is the ring leader, he's not scared of anything. He will chase flies, and any other bug that he may find. Rachael is a beauty, that prefers to love on her people. She will rub on you asking for more pets. Both start off shy, till they get comfortable, and then their personalities start to shine through. Uncertain as to why they are still sitting in rescue, but you don't want to miss out on this pair.

This is Henry, a sweet little guy who has been looking for his forever home since this summer! We are giving his profile a little refresh in hopes his forever family will have an easier time finding him! Henry came to Never Less Cat Rescue after he was found behind the tire of a vehicle - after it had been going down the highway. Thankfully, Henry didn't have a single scratch on him but his nerves were fried for a little bit! We can't blame him, that must have been very scary to go through! Thanks to his amazing foster family, Henry has had a safe home to decompress in and come out of his shell. He is no longer phased by the events that brought him into our care. Instead, he spends his days playing with his foster siblings and his toys. His foster mom states he would do best in a home with another playful animal around to keep him happy an entertained while his people are away during the day. His foster mom also states every evening he has a routine of seeking affection and being the sweetest boy! The perfect home for Henry would be one that has playful pets already or is willing to adopt a friend with Henry. The perfect home would have toys for him to play with and will spoil him with treats and wet food. Henry would like to be in a home that allows him to have at least one human to bond to so he has someone to play and cuddle with each day. Henry is neutered, vaccinated, and tested Negative for FIV, FeLV, and Heartworms. He has been microchipped as well. Henry's adopters will go home with all medical records and microchip registration information. His adoption fee is $200 and any additional kitty adopted with Henry is an additional $50. To adopt Henry, please submit an application using this link: https://forms.gle/igYnT5gRVcHZoFvX9

Story
Peter is an adorable kitten who deserves a loving forever home. I have fostered Peter since he was just 5 days old (Born May 29, 2024), and he has captured my heart completely. However, I was diagnosed with cancer in July. Despite my hopes of keeping him, I find myself overwhelmed with my illness, and I am unable to give Peter the love and attention he truly deserves. Peter is energetic, curious, mischievous and incredibly affectionate. He loves to cuddle, eagerly plays with mice, crumbled paper and jingle balls. He will melt everyone's heart. He would make a wonderful companion for an older person seeking love and companionship; one whom rejoices in kitten energy. Please consider giving Peter the loving indoor-only home he deserves. He is a delightful kitten ready to bring joy and happiness into your life.
