American Shorthair kittens & cats in Longboat Key, Florida

I adopted Leo when he was 4 years old and he'll be 13 next year. He was an outdoor cat before he came to me, and has been indoor ever since. He's a cuddler, and is good with being picked up and carried around. He likes to be held like a baby or upright light a toddler. He loves to sleep in the bed with us and always keeps my head warm and he prefers to sleep on my pillow. He doesn't have any issues finding the litter box. He's patient with kids and tolerant of dogs. He's mostly sweet, but doesn't love having his tummy pet for a long time. He doesn't have his front claws. He loves chin scratches and licking the water off the walls after showers. He's a little chunky, but healthy, and likely has a few more years left in him. You won't regret loving him for the rest of his life. <3

This guy needs a great home. He's got a severe upper respiratory and he didn't really want to pose for pics, but we have antibiotics and eye ointment now onboard. He's 4 mos old, tuxedo kitten, sweetest ever nuetered boy with all his shots. He was surrendered to me because he desperately needed medical attention and his owner lost everything in Milton. She reached out on a group forum yesterday and I couldn't let him suffer thru the night. Manatee Animal Hospital stabilized him last night and he went to my vet this morning. He's resting comfortably now and I've had him in a steam shower twice to help him breathe. I can't keep him. I have 2 dogs that want to eat him and a feral adopted cat that wants to kill him. He desperately needs an experienced foster or a furever home... asap or I'll have to take him to the humane society.I've been trying to get him to cat depot but they are closed today.

Perry is an 8 week old male kitten in need of a good home. Perry is named Perry because he loves climb and sit on any shoulder near by. Little shy at first but Perry is very social with other cats, playful, absolutely adorable, and loves cuddling at night. Perry has been seen by a vet, weighs 1.5 lbs, in good health, but is not vaccinated or neutered due to his age at the time of visit.

Big Butt is a large kitty with a bit of junk in the trunk. Big Butt loves to chat, loves other cats, and loves to eat. Big Butt has a big personality and loves to be the center of attention. He loves to dote on people and other cats. Big Butt has had several owners. His first owner loved him dearly, but was forced to re-home Big Butt (called Baby) due to a chronic health condition. Big Butt was adopted by his owner’s health care technician and lived happily with several kitty siblings. Tragically, Big Butt’s owner passed away in November 2022. He was taken in by a family member who also tragically passed away the following month in December 2022. Big Butt is seeking a home with a loving family and would love to be adopted with his kitty siblings.
