American Shorthair kittens & cats in Sarasota, Florida

Meet this sweet girl! She’s a calm, gentle soul who loves being around people and is happiest when she’s the center of attention. While she’s usually pretty quiet, she has a goofy side that comes out in the most adorable ways, making you laugh when you least expect it. Whether she’s curled up beside you or giving you her best “pay attention to me” look, she’s all about love and companionship. She’d be the perfect match for someone looking for a mellow, affectionate friend with just a hint of quirky charm.

Abby is an energetic and fun-loving cat! At three years old, she's just as adorable as she was as a kitten, and she still has plenty of curiosity and an uncanny ability to get into mischief. She's always looking for the next thing to do. So we feel Abby needs an experienced adopter who can keep her safe and healthy! We also feel she would do best in an adult-only household. Abby is very affectionate. She loves kisses, hugs, and sitting/snoozing on her foster mom's lap. Abby was rescued with her sister, Ariel, and both are currently being fostered in a home with two other cats. Abby tends to have a "take charge" personality, but she gets along with everyone. She would do very well as a companion for a cat (or cats) already in the adopter's home. The HPC adoption process involves a foster period (to ensure a good "fit") before the adoption is finalized. Since HPC visits the home during that time, potential adopters need to be in the Bradenton/Sarasota (Florida) area.

Ariel is not only a beautiful cat, she's also unique! She has a small black "beard" and a short tail and looks very similar to a Japanese Bobtail, even though that breed isn't reflected in her DNA report. She's half American Domestic Cat with lower percentages of Norwegian Forest Cat, Highlander, Scottish Fold, and Siamese/Oriental Cat. At three years old, Ariel really isn't a kitten any more, but she's still energetic and curious. She loves to play, and "the zoomies" are part of her daily exercise routine. She has also become very affectionate and loves to cuddle in her foster mom's lap. Ariel was rescued with her sister, Abby, and both are currently being fostered in a home with two other cats.

Dixie is approximately 5 months old and is one of the sweetest most playful kittens I have ever had. She was adopted from Sarasota Humane Society about 3 months ago for my wife after her kitten had passed away. Due to moving and not being able to find affordable housing that accepts animals we can not keep Dixie. Foster or rehome accepted. No rehoming fee and food will come home with her.

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.

I am just a baby and very timid. I am looking for someone patient who will love me, keep me safe, and enjoy my companionship. *** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, http://www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. *** Pets can be viewed by appointment only and an approved application is required to make an appointment to meet one of our animals. It can take up to 24 hours to respond to your application and an additional 1-2 business days to have your application approved. Not all applications will be approved. Applications that are incomplete will not be approved. Please include all veterinary information, as we will be contacting your veterinarian. If you have never had a pet before and thus do not have an established vet either in the area or in an area you previously lived in, we recommend adopting from your local Animal Services. Our adoption fee covers spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, monthly flea medication while in our rescue, any medications while in our rescue, an FIV/FeLV test, and the unconditional love of your new family member. Our rescue does not continue to pay for flea medication, vaccinations, deworming, or any other medications after the animal is adopted. All costs and fees accrued after adoption are the responsibility of the new family.

1,360+ DAYS OF WAITING TO BE CHOSEN! Coco Chanel is spayed, negative for FIV/FeLV, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. She is a sweet girl who would love a furever home of her own. Coco Chanel came to our rescue with six tiny babies in December 2020. One baby was born disabled. For the last 3 1/2 years, Coco Chanel has given up her chance at a furever home by herself so she could stay and care for her disabled baby. Sadly, her daughter passed away July 13th, leaving Coco Chanel alone in their foster room. Now, it is time for her to shine! Coco Chanel gets nervous in unfamiliar territory, so Meet and Greets will take place in her foster home. To schedule a Meet and Greet, please complete an application.
