1. Jolene
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 26 mi from Mount Vernon


Meet Jolene, a gorgeous little tuxedo kitten with a big personality and an independent streak. Strangers get a cautious first look, but once she sees you pass the vibe check, she warms right up. Jolene gets along great with other cats and dogs after a gentle introduction, and she absolutely loves playing with kids. She is a quiet girl who rarely meows, but she loves swatting at toys, especially loose Nerf darts. While she tolerates being picked up, snuggles happen strictly on her own terms. When the mood strikes, she will trot right over and jump into your lap for some love. Jolene is the perfect blend of playful energy, polite charm, and cozy companionship.

Adopting a cat in Mount Vernon
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
