Hi, I’m Wren – a soft little gray girl with a sweet heart and a lot of love to give.

I was rescued from a rural animal control right before my time was up, and I’ve been so grateful for a second chance. At first, I can be a little shy – new places and faces take me a minute to warm up to – but once I feel safe, I turn into a total sweetheart.

I’m gentle, playful, and affectionate. I love being talked to and will chirp and meow back – I have lots of opinions and I'm not afraid to share them! I enjoy toys, treats, and quiet moments cuddled up with my humans. Being petted and loved on is one of my favorite things.

I’d do well in a calmer home, maybe with older kids and even a nice, cat-friendly dog. One thing that’s really important to me: I need a kitty friend! I love the companionship of another cat and would be happiest in a home where I have a feline buddy to help me feel confident and keep me company.

Could you be the one to help me write my happy ending?

– Love,
Wren 🐦‍⬛

Hi there! I’m Fern – your future best friend (and maybe your cat's too)!

I’m a playful, loving black-and-white kitten who’s full of life and purrs. I was rescued from a rural animal control just in time, and ever since, I’ve been soaking up every moment of love, toys, and kitty companionship that comes my way!

I’m super friendly and outgoing – the kind of kitten who runs to greet you, flops for belly rubs, and thinks every toy is the best toy ever. I love snuggles, pets, and being around my people. My purr motor runs nonstop and I'll make lots of biscuits to show you how much I love you. I also really love other cats and would not be happy as an only kitty – I need a feline buddy to wrestle, nap, and play with!

I’d do great in a home with respectful kids or even a cat-friendly dog. My ideal family will have lots of love to give, a cozy lap to curl up on, and another friendly cat to keep me company.

Think we’re a purrfect match? I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, I’m Elsie – a bold little tuxedo explorer with a big personality and an even bigger pounce!

I was found in a flooder area in Elsberry after some scary storms, and ever since then, I’ve been learning what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family. I’m a super playful, curious girl who lives for toys – especially the kind I can stalk and pounce on like the fierce little hunter I am. And don’t even get me started on canned food... total obsession.

I can be shy and a bit skittish at first – loud noises and sudden movements aren’t really my thing – but I’m getting braver every day and learning that human affection can actually be pretty wonderful. With patience and love, I’m really starting to come out of my shell.

What I really need is a home with another young, playful, and confident kitty who can show me the ropes and help me feel safe and comfortable. Because of my more sensitive nature, I’d do best in a calmer home without young kids – older kids or adults who understand how to go slow with me would be perfect.

If you’re looking for a spunky little sidekick with tons of personality and potential, I might just be your girl.

– Elsie 🖤

Meet Warren – Purr Machine, Professional Cuddler, and All-Around Sweetheart! 💕

Warren may have started life in a car engine (yep, you read that right—Warren County’s finest rescue!), but this fluffy little survivor is now all about comfort, cuddles, and good company.

This adorable medium-haired kitten is soft as a cloud and sweet as can be. He’s got a constant purr motor, loves being held, and will happily curl up in your arms like the little snuggle bug he is. Affection? Yes please. Belly rubs? Absolutely. Lap time? Count him in.

Warren is gentle, docile, and just an all-around chill kitten—but don’t let that fool you, he still has plenty of kitten curiosity and charm! He’s fantastic with other cats and needs a feline friend in the home to keep him company and show him the ropes. No solo acts for this guy—Warren must be adopted into a home with another friendly cat, or adopted along with a new buddy!

He’d do best in a home with older kids who understand how to treat a little gentleman like him, and he’s ready to be your loyal cuddle buddy for life.

🎸 Meet The Rockstars! 🎸
Debbie, Chrissie, Iggy & Angus – Four Furry Legends in the Making! 🐾

Straight outta a rural shelter and saved just in time, these four fabulous kittens are ready to take center stage in your home—and your heart. Debbie, Chrissie, Iggy, and Angus (aka The Rockstars) came from a hoarding situation but have left their rough start behind and are now living the VIP life in foster care while they wait for their forever fans.

These kittens are the perfect blend of playful, cuddly, curious, and sweet. They love attention, snuggles, and being held like the stars they are. Each one has their own vibe, but together, they’re an unstoppable force of cuteness and charm.

🎤 Debbie – The social butterfly of the group! Always the first to say hi, she loves making new friends and soaking up the spotlight.

🎸 Chrissie – The petite sweetheart. Gentle, loving, and super snuggly. She’s the quiet power ballad in the group.

🥁 Iggy – The wild child! Adventurous, fearless, and always up to something. He’ll jump on your back, climb your shoulder, and then purr like crazy—he’s a one-kitten show.

🎹 Angus – The mellow rockstar. He’s super friendly and laid-back, but always down to join in the fun when it’s playtime.

These kittens are well-socialized, affectionate, and love both people and other pets. They do great with respectful kids and would be just fine in a home with a cat-friendly dog. They must not be adopted as only cats—they need feline companions to keep them company and continue their rockin' kitten antics.

Whether you’re looking to adopt a duo or the whole band (hey, we won’t stop you!), these kittens are ready to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of purrs to your life.

Meet Noelle — Sweet, Social, and Ready to Steal Your Heart!

Noelle is a bright-eyed tabby girl with a big heart and an even bigger purr. Rescued from the outdoors along with her mama and littermates by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan, Noelle has been thriving in foster care and is now ready for a forever home of her own!

This little lovebug is the full package: affectionate, outgoing, playful, and cuddly. She’s the kind of kitten who runs to greet you, climbs into your lap, and then zooms off to chase a toy mouse. Noelle absolutely adores other cats and must go to a home with a feline friend — she’s happiest when she has a buddy to play and snuggle with.

She’d do great in a home with respectful children and could even befriend a calm, cat-friendly dog. Noelle is confident, social, and would be a delightful addition to just about any cat-loving household.

Looking for a kitten who will bring joy, snuggles, and non-stop entertainment? Noelle is your girl!

Meet Nico – Your New Favorite Little Spitfire! 🔥🐾

Say hello to Nico, a curious, energetic, and absolutely adorable kitten with a personality that’s bigger than he is! This little guy is full of life, full of fun, and full of love—a total package of kitten charm.

Nico and his littermates were born outside in Lincoln County, but thanks to a kind-hearted Good Samaritan, they were brought to safety and into rescue. Now, Nico’s ready for his next big adventure: finding a forever home!

This bright-eyed explorer is always on the move—playing, pouncing, and investigating anything that catches his attention. He’s got that perfect mix of mischief and sweetness, and once he’s burned off his zoomies, he’ll happily curl up for some snuggles and affection.

Nico is:

Inquisitive and playful – always ready for a new toy or a new hiding spot to discover

Sweet and loving – when he’s not in "go mode," he loves attention and cuddles

Full of personality – a little spitfire with tons of charm and kitten confidence

He would do best in a home with another playful, friendly cat or kitten to help keep up with his energy and curiosity—he’s not one to enjoy solo life!

If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing, steal your heart, and bring non-stop fun to your home, Nico is ready to meet you!

Meet Lucy — A Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold

Lucy is a soft-spoken sweetheart with stunning torbie markings and the kindest eyes. She came to us in an unusual way — given away for free at a horse show — and while her journey has been a bit bumpy, this lovely girl is ready to find a forever home filled with patience, love, and feline companionship.

Shy by nature, Lucy may dart away or hide at first. She needs time and a gentle touch to feel safe, but once she trusts you, her sweet personality starts to bloom. You'll be rewarded with quiet purrs, tender affection, and playful moments that show just how much she wants to connect.

Lucy must go to a home with another confident, cat-friendly kitty who can help her continue to grow. She adores the company of other cats and learns best by watching and following their lead. Because of her timid nature, we’re looking for an adult-only home or one with calm, older teens who understand how to give her space and let her come around on her own time.

If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in earning a shy cat’s trust and watching her blossom, Lucy will be your quiet, loyal shadow — a truly special friend worth waiting for.
