WE ARE FULL! And we need your help.

Our shelter is bursting at the seams, and with fall kitten season already knocking, we need to make room — fast. So for the entire month of September, every single cat in our care (from tiny kittens to laid-back seniors) is up for adoption for just $25.

That's not a "some restrictions apply" kind of deal, either. Your $25 gets you a fully vetted feline — spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for fleas, ear mites, and parasites — plus a lifetime supply of purrs, snuggles, and 3 a.m. zoomies, completely free of charge. Mousing abilities vary by model.

Whether you've been dreaming of a rambunctious kitten to keep you on your toes or a mellow adult cat who just wants a soft lap and a quiet home, we've got a match waiting for you. Every adoption this month gets a cat into a loving home and opens up space for the kittens coming through our doors this fall.

$25 Adoption Fee — Any Cat, Any Age
Now through September 30

Stop by during business hours to meet your new best friend — and please share this post to help us spread the word!

You must meet BONES!

AGE: 1 year, 1 month old
WEIGHT: 9.2 lbs.
Say hello to Mr. Bones. This gorgeous guy sports a sharp black-and-white coat that makes him a standout among the other kitties in his room. Bones treats every crumpled piece of paper like it's an Olympic event and every patch of sunshine like it's a five-star reservation. He's the perfect mix of easygoing and playful shenanigans — a solid, sturdy boy at over 9 pounds, with the personality to match his size.

He's looking for someone who appreciates a cat with opinions, a good sense of humor, and zero shame about talking to their pet in a baby voice. Bones is 100% ready to make his new forever home a little more fun and a lot more loved. If this handsome boy has caught your eye, stop by the shelter to meet Mr. Bones!

Meet Dasher

AGE: 2 years, 7 months old
WEIGHT: 10.5 lbs.

Not everyone wants a kitten bouncing off the walls at 3 a.m. — and if that's you, meet Dasher. Say hello to this handsome gentleman who has fully mastered the art of lounging in a sunbeam and looking fabulous while doing it. Don't let the name fool you: Dasher's top speed is a leisurely stroll to the food bowl, and he's not the least bit sorry about it.

His resume speaks for itself — professional napper, part-time lap warmer, world-class snuggler, with references available upon request (his references are also naps). This handsome tabby has traded in kitten chaos for calm, confident charm, and he's ready to bring his sunny disposition and generous purrs to a forever home. We think Dasher is pretty great, and we're confident he'll win you over the moment you meet him.

Dasher is hoping for a quiet home of his own, where he can settle in, feel safe, and be loved exactly as he is. If this handsome, gentle guy has caught your eye, stop by the shelter and see for yourself why grown-up cats make the best companions.

Baby Blake is looking for his forever home!

AGE: 16 weeks old
WEIGHT: 4.5 lbs.

Everyone, meet Blake — official holder of the tiniest "M" you've ever seen, stamped right on his forehead like nature signed off on him personally. And honestly? Good call, nature.

Blake operates on two settings: full-throttle chaos and instant nap. He'll solve a puzzle toy faster than you can say "good job" and then, five minutes later, get completely defeated by a paper bag. He's appointed himself Chief Supervisor of the household, which means he'll be right there for laundry folding, dish washing, and typing this very post (his paw prints are somewhere on the keyboard, we're sure of it). Naps happen wherever is least convenient for you and most convenient for him — that's just the rule.

Give this guy an empty box and he'll declare it a fortress within seconds. Toss him a crinkly toy or a feather wand and watch him turn into a tiny blur of orange-and-white pounce power. And when the zoomies finally wear off, he melts into the softest, most devoted lap-cat you've ever met — the kind of snuggler who makes you forget you had anywhere else to be.

Blake's looking for someone ready to laugh at his nonsense, keep a toy basket stocked, and let him supervise absolutely everything. If that sounds like your kind of chaos, he's ready to meet you.

The shelter currently has a variety of kittens who are litterbox trained and play well together, all hoping for a lap of their own to curl into. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a charming little kitten like Blake, stop by the shelter during business hours to meet him and his friends!

MORE DETAILS:
Kitties must live indoors. The adoption fee is $30.

All cats and kittens at Raccoon River Pet Rescue (RRPR) have been spayed/neutered, given age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and treated for fleas, ear mites, and other parasites.

Say Hello to Frizzle
AGE: 16 weeks old
WEIGHT: 4.5 lbs.
Introducing handsome little Frizzle! This adorable little boy is a mix between a warm sunbeam and a cute gremlin. He has the classic orange tabby energy his color is famous for — he'll outsmart a puzzle toy in ten seconds flat, then immediately get his head stuck in a paper bag. He likes helping with absolutely everything and napping in the most inconvenient spots possible. Frizzle is a world-class snuggler, and he can turn any cardboard box into a personal fortress. This sweet boy is a lover at heart, looking for a home with kitty toys and someone who'll enjoy his silly kitten antics. If you're looking for an endless source of joy and sweetness, Frizzle is your perfect match — his sweet, silly personality will entertain you for hours. Give him a feather wand, a crinkled piece of paper, or a toy mouse, and he'll happily zoom and pounce around the room.

WEIGHT: 4 lbs.
Say hello to beautiful little Ruffles! This little lady is proof that black and white is anything but boring. With her gorgeous coat and a face that always looks ready for a fancy dinner party, Ruffles brings elegance to everything she does. She loves basking in warm sunshine, chasing feather wands, and napping with her kitty friends. Ruffles is looking for a forever, loving home where she can supervise your every move, curl up on your lap, and slowly convince you that she runs the household. She gets along great with the other kitties in her room and is litterbox trained.

👟 Our Shoe Drive Continues 👟

Our shoe drive fundraiser is still going — in fact, we've extended it for another month! We still need more shoes to reach our goal. Pictured are the bagged shoes we have collected, but we need many many more.

We hate asking for cash, so our shoe drive is a different way to help. Donate your gently worn or new shoes, boots, sandals, or sports shoes and we'll get them upcycled — which puts cash in our hands and puts good shoes to use for small businesses and people overseas.

Can you help us out by bringing us your shoes? Please tag your friends and relatives in this post. We need every pair of shoes in the county that are not being worn!
