Story
Thea is a shy, mostly "blue" cat. She is about 7 years old and was found in between some walls of a office building when she was a few weeks old as a kitten. She has been living inside since then and never been back out. She is a timid, and shy cat and would likely benefit from a more quiet household. She currently lives with several other cats and has no issues getting along with any of them. She has never really been around dogs so I am unsure how she would be with them. I think if the dog is calm and not a high drive energetic energy type they will be fine. She may start off shy and hide for a bit before she gets used to her new surroundings but when she gets comfortable she will cuddle with you on the bed, on the couch and will want attention. She loves to give you chin rubs and will talk to you in her high squeaky voice. She might do pretty well with rehoming as she might end up exploring on her own.

Story
Moosey is mostly white, with a black mask and a black spot on her body. She is about 9 years old and was brought inside when she was a few weeks old as a kitten. She has been living inside since then and never been back out. She is a very loving cat who LOVES attention. She will grab your hand so that you give her pets, and sometimes will give love bites. She currently lives with several other cats and has no issues getting a long with any of them. She has been around dogs a little so I think she would be okay with them. I think that if the dog gets in her personal space looking to "play" she might "defend" herself. She will most likely be very open to a new space and I think she would adjust very quickly. She will cuddle with you on a bed, on the couch and will always want attention.

Story
Meet Amanda! She came to us in July 2022 with her sister Katlyn after being born under a porch (mom is feral and has been fixed then returned to her neighborhood). Amanda is now an 11-month-old kitten looking for a loving family. She loves climbing on her cat tower, cuddling on her terms, and chasing the laser light. She is being fostered with other cats and dogs too. Amanda has a calm demeanor, she is always watching the shenanigans around her. She is litterbox trained, spayed, dewormed, flea and parasite-free, and FIV/FeLV negative. She will make a great addition to most families! If you are interested in adoption; DO NOT CALL, please complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care of past/current pets. Our goal is to have the very best home for all our dogs and cats, and therefore, we reserve the right to approve or deny an application based on what we determine is in the pet's best interest. #lovecatsforever #kittens #kitty  #rescuedisthebest #cats #catsareacommittment #rescuecat #lovecats #adopt #adoptdontshop

Oreo is a sweet, lovable, kind kitty. He loves to be cuddled and will tell you so. His favorite pastimes are sleeping and watching tv. He loves the chase the mouse videos on YouTube.

Looking for an adorable supervisor for your home? Look no further! I am a curious, silly, and brave kitty who loves to know what's happening. When I'm not in your business, I love to play with my toys (carboard boxes are my favorite) and cuddle with my loving humans! I also grew up with my brother, Biscoff -- so I know and love to play with kitties too! I am ready for that perfect home that wants an adorable little girl to make them smile. I am in Tennessee, but can be transported to the Northeast region to meet you if needed.

Story
Meet Cleo: A Loving Companion in Need of a Forever Home Hi, I'm Cleo. I'm a sweet 6-year-old girl with a heart full of love to give, and right now, I'm going through a tough time. My dad recently passed away, and while his estate is being settled, I'm staying in his house with another cat. But soon, everything will change, and I don't know where I'll go. I'm a small and gentle kitty (only about 8 pounds). I have a stunning gray tabby coat and green eyes shine with warmth. I just want to curl up in someone's lap and give them all the affection I can. I'm VERY loving and enjoy spending time with humans. I'm also not shy around strangers—if you give me a little attention, I’ll gladly accept and soak up all the affection! The thing I'm most afraid of is being taken to a shelter where I could be at risk of being put down after just a short time. Time is running out for me. Critter Cavalry Rescue is trying to help me, but they don't have foster space, so I'm in urgent need of a place where I can live out the rest of my life in peace and love. Please, could you be the one to offer me a chance? I have many happy years ahead of me, and I would love to share them with you.  I am currently in Tennessee, but can be transported to meet you! If you think you can give me the love and care I need,  I may be small, but my heart is full of love, and I’m waiting for the right person to make me their forever companion. Please don’t let me run out of time. Thank you for considering me! Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 2, 2024, 10:18 pm
