Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Ideal Home: A patient, quiet home with a friendly feline! Qualities: Calm, Reserved, Shy, Mellow, Gentle Doogie Howser, MD is ready to find his forever home! This distinguished, four-pawed "purr-fessional" specializes in healing broken hearts with just a sway of his tail. Doogie thrives in the company of other cats, and a friendly feline companion to groom, play, and cuddle with is just what the doctor ordered. At just 2 years old, Doogie arrived at Ten Lives a bit shy, but his gentle and reserved nature has blossomed. He now enjoys flopping belly up next to his people for head scratches and, when he's in the mood, maybe even a belly rub. Mealtime brings out his affectionate side—Doogie will come over purring and nuzzling, happily accepting pets. On occasion, he might even let you pick him up without complaint when his "pick me up" meter is full. While it may take him a few days to warm up, with patience and love, he'll soon be exploring his surroundings and ensuring everything is in tip-top shape. ___________________________ Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Ideal Home: Quiet, patient and loving as she learns more about the pampered indoor life!Qualities: Gentle, Shy, Mellow. Graysie is a sophisticated 7.5 old gentle girl who has been appreciating the pampered indoor life since she arrived at Ten Lives. You see, Graysie's story is one that we commonly see; she spent her whole life outside and never knew the love and affectionate of being a beloved house cat. She has shown positive progress around her comfort human and has recently been allowing pets and brushing during her feedings. Her hobbies include bird watching and lounging in the sun beams to catch a good snooze. Graysie is gentle in nature and will need a patient adopter who can work with her slowly over time.  She gets along with other laid back and relaxed felines, and we think another easy going cat friend would help her flourish and also keep her company, but its not a deal breaker if she's a solo kitty either. If you think you could be Graysie's forever person, she hopes you will fill out an application for her today!___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Meet Wayne, the dashing and determined cat whose journey has left us both heartbroken and inspired. This handsome boy was heartlessly kicked outside by his former owner, who callously asked us to "humanely discard" him. Wayne was terrified and withdrawn when he came into our care, but with time, patience, and love, he’s slowly opened up and begun to trust people again.Wayne’s story is one of resilience, but his newfound confidence has come with an undeniable craving for the outdoors. He’s a master escape artist: a door-dashing, screen-scratching, little Houdini who stops at nothing to feel the wind in his fur. We’ve tried everything to safely curb his outdoor desires—offering catio access, harness training, and even taking him out in a stroller. Yet, Wayne continues to yearn for the freedom he remembers.For Wayne’s well-being and happiness, we’re making an exception to our usual practice of finding strictly indoor homes. We are now looking for a loving and responsible owner who understands the challenges and risks of caring for an indoor/outdoor cat and will do everything possible to keep him safe. We hope to find someone who lives in a quieter area, keeps up with annual vet visits, vaccinations (rabies, distemper, and Feline Leukemia), is consistent with flea prevention, and who will commit to loving Wayne unconditionally.This is not a decision we make lightly, but we believe that Wayne deserves the best shot at a happy and fulfilled life. If you can offer Wayne the safe, structured, and caring home he needs, please reach out to learn more about this brave and spirited boy.If you think you could be Wayne's match, he hopes you will fill out an application today!___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Church was feral before we found him and would do best in an indoor/outdoor household. He is shy but polite and well mannered. He would do best in a house by himself or with other cats. He has double paws and is a very handsome boy. We have outgrown our apartment and he deserves a yard to roam which we can not provide. He likes to play with his toys by himself or with another cat.

She was born on January 27, 2024. Almost 1 year old. She has 2 sisters that are listed here too, Alex and Clover. She is a very friendly and lovely cat. Love to be pet and rest in your lap. She is one of the loveliest cats I have ever met. And really active too, so you better keep her entertained. I think she will enjoy a house with other animals. She would do of a great sister if you have other pets. She is curious and adventurous, really funny to watch. I would describe her as an walking meme. As a fun fact about her she has 6 fingers!

She was born in January 27, 2024. Almost one year old. She has 2 sisters that are listed in here too. Sam and Alex. She is the most lovely cat I have ever meet, she like to cuddle and to be pet, she will seek for you to pet her every time she sees you. She is also super active and really playful. She loves to play, jump and run! She is a 6 fingers cat, better luck for every finger! She does really good with other pets (specially so she can have someone to play with).

Puzzle and Indy are about 2 years old. They’ve been with my parents for most of those two years after being adopted from a foster based rescue. Sadly, a severe allergy has developed and my parents can’t continue to live with cats so we want to find a good home for both these wonderful girls. We will gladly provide their cat tree, two litter boxes, and our current supply of their food and litter to the good folks who are able to give them a good home!
