🤍Meet Nellie! 🫶🐾

Every rescue has a beginning… and Nellie’s started in the most unexpected place.🐱

Born around October 2025 🍂, sweet Nellie was found wandering alone in the cemetery across the street from our resale shop this past February. 🪦😢 Thankfully, a kindhearted person noticed her and brought her to Caring About The Strays, where her journey to a better life began. 🥹🐾

Today, Nellie has blossomed into a beautiful, healthy young cat who is more than ready to find a family of her very own. 🏡💕

Nellie has a gentle, loving personality and absolutely adores being petted. 🥰 She enjoys the company of other cats and would likely love having a feline friend in her forever home. 🐱💖

While we don’t yet know how she feels about dogs or children, we do know she’s ready to fill someone’s home with love, purrs, and companionship. ❤️🐾

🐾🤍 Meet Louie! 🤍🐾

Louie is a 4-year-old sweetheart with the gentlest soul. 🥹❤️ He has never hissed, scratched, or bitten — he’s simply a kind, loving boy looking for the family he deserves.

💔 Louie’s story is heartbreaking. During a recent rainstorm, a kind Samaritan found him soaking wet, brought him inside, dried him off, fed him, and gave him a safe place to rest. When he was taken to the vet, they discovered he was microchipped. Sadly, after contacting his guardians, our veterinarian was told, “We don’t want him.”

Despite everything he’s been through, Louie has nothing but love to give. 🥰 He gets along wonderfully with other cats 🐱, loves a good meal 🍽️, and has become incredibly affectionate and cuddly with his foster family. 💕

Once Louie feels comfortable with you, his sweet personality really begins to shine. ✨ He loves curling up with his humans on the couch, sleeping beside them in bed, giving adorable head bumps, and rubbing against their legs. 🛋️🛏️❤️ He’ll even let his foster mom pick him up now and happily tolerates kisses. 😽🥹

And if you really want to win him over? Churu and b***y pats are two of his favorites! 😹💕 Louie can be startled by sudden loud noises or quick movements, so he’ll appreciate a home where his family understands his gentle nature and gives him the security he needs to feel comfortable. 🐾

✨ About Louie:
🎂 4 years old
✂️ Neutered
🩺 Fully vetted
🐾 SNAP tested negative
🐱 Friendly with other cats
💕 Affectionate, cuddly & loves being close to his people
🛋️ Loves couch cuddles and sleeping in bed with his humans
😻 Churu & b***y-pat enthusiast

🏡 Louie has already experienced what it feels like to be unwanted. Now all he needs is someone to show him what it feels like to be chosen, safe, and truly loved forever. ❤️🐾

🐾🧡 Meet Willie & Walter — Two Sweet Boys Looking for Their Forever Home! 🧡🐾

🐱 Willie and Walter are two adorable kittens hoping to find a loving forever home together! ❤️

These handsome little boys were found on the streets of Hackensack, NJ, and are now getting a second chance at the happy, safe lives they deserve. 🏡💕

Born around the beginning of August 2026, Willie and Walter are still young kittens with plenty of growing, exploring, and adventures ahead of them! 🥰

With their loving personalities and playful kitten energy, they’re sure to bring lots of happiness and companionship to their future home. 🐾❤️

🐾 Willie and Walter must be adopted together so they can continue growing up side by side.

🐱 They could do well in a home with other friendly cats and may also be a good match for a calm, cat-friendly dog, although they have not yet been tested with dogs. 🐶💕

Born around July 2026, these sweet kittens have incredibly gentle, affectionate, and loving personalities. They’re sure to bring plenty of love and companionship to their future family! 🥰

🐾💕 Meet Bowie & Miley! 💕🐾

Some things in life are simply better in pairs, and these two adorable tabby sisters are the perfect example. 🥹🐱🐱 Born around June 27, 2026, Bowie and Miley share a very special bond and are looking for a forever home where they can continue growing up side by side. 🏡❤️

💕 Bowie is the brave little explorer! She’s the first to say hello, loves climbing into laps, and can happily entertain herself chasing the strings on your shoes or pants. Once playtime is over, give her some ear scratches and she’ll absolutely melt. 🥰🐾

💕 Miley is her sweet, watchful sister. She loves running around and playing with Bowie, but she’s also a true people-kitty at heart. When it’s time for cuddles, Miley is completely devoted to her humans and will happily snuggle with you for hours. 😻

🤍 How can you tell them apart? Bowie has more white on her face, while Miley has more of the classic tabby coloring on hers. 🐾

Together, these girls have the best of both worlds: a built-in playmate, best friend, and cuddle buddy. 💗

🏡 Bowie & Miley are a bonded pair and MUST be adopted together. They’ve grown up with each other by their side, and we want to make sure it stays that way.

If you have room in your heart and home for twice the tabby love, Bowie & Miley are waiting to meet you! 🐾❤️
