5. Katie
Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro


Meet Katie!
Katie is a sweet, chatty nine-year-old domestic mediumhair who weighs 12 pounds and loves a welcoming lap. She knows her name and enjoys talking to her person—wonderful company for someone looking for an affectionate companion.
Katie’s story began with a difficult experience. At just four months old, she was found injured after being inside a car’s engine compartment. Her tail had to be amputated, but she recovered beautifully and has lived safely indoors ever since.
Read more about Katie
This lovely girl still enjoys plenty of playtime with toy mice, balls with bells, and kicker toys. She also loves settling into a window to watch birds, squirrels, and the occasional chipmunk.
Katie has very fine fur that her caregiver keeps clipped to help maintain her coat. She is easy to groom and cooperative for nail trims, too.
Because Katie is afraid of most of the cats in her current home, she would do best in a quiet household as the only cat or possibly with one gentle cat who gives her space. A home without small children would suit her best. She currently eats Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin dry food and Fancy Feast pâté.
Katie is ready for a peaceful home, a cozy lap, and someone who will enjoy her sweet conversations as much as her companionship.

6. Honey
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro


Meet Honey!
Honey is a petite, six-year-old domestic shorthair who weighs just seven pounds. Her adorable short, crooked tail adds to her charm, and she has a special story behind her sweet name.
At only three months old, Honey was found with a prolapsed rectum. The women who brought her to the vet requested euthanasia, but her veterinarian reached out to her caregiver, giving Honey a chance. She recovered beautifully after surgery and has had no further trouble. The vet named her Honey after the honey he used during her treatment.
Read more about Honey
Honey enjoys the simple pleasures of life: playing with her toy mouse and kicker toy, scratching her sisal post, and watching birds and squirrels through the window. When her person settles into bed to watch TV, she happily joins them and sleeps beside them for part of the night. She knows her name and will answer when spoken to. She even tolerates nail trims nicely while sitting in a lap!
Honey is frightened when other cats approach or chase her and would do best as the only cat in a quiet home. She has never been around children, so a calm adult household would likely be her most comfortable fit. She has lived exclusively indoors since she was a kitten.
She currently eats Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin dry food and Fancy Feast pâté.
Honey is ready for a peaceful home where she can feel safe, enjoy her favorite toys, and settle beside someone who loves her.

7. Haya
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro


Meet Haya!
Haya is a sweet, loving girl who once lived outdoors and has been an indoor cat for the past year. Her babies have all been adopted, but Haya is still waiting for a family of her own. She deserves her turn to be cherished.
She may need a little time to feel comfortable, but once she does, she’ll meow for your attention and follow you around the room seeking affection. Haya loves being petted, though being picked up isn’t her favorite. Letting her approach you at her own pace helps build her trust.
Read more about Haya
Haya enjoys playing with toys, watching the world through a window, and snuggling into hiding spots beneath blankets or behind curtains. She will eat dry food, but does better with wet food.
She hasn’t always received the attention she needs, and she would thrive with a patient, loving family who respects her personal space and makes time for her. Her kittens have found their homes—now it’s Haya’s turn.

8. Clarissa
Young · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro



Meet Clarissa!
Clarissa is a sweet, loving classic tabby, about three years old, with a little triangular nick at the tip of her left ear. Once an outdoor cat, she has been living indoors for the past year since having her kittens. Now she needs a peaceful home where she has room to play, relax, and feel safe.
Clarissa likes affection on her own terms. Being picked up and held isn’t her favorite, but settle onto the couch or bed and she’ll happily climb into your lap for some pampering. She loves being petted—just skip the belly rubs! She’ll sleep beside you and isn’t shy about joining whatever you’re doing when she wants a little attention.
Read more about Clarissa
This playful girl enjoys toys, scratching posts, and watching the world through a window. She has bursts of playful energy in the late evening and sometimes the early morning, and she’ll announce her excitement with happy meows when it’s time to eat.
Clarissa is sensitive and can become stressed easily, sometimes retreating under the bed when she needs a quiet moment. After being bullied by another cat, she has needed to stay in a bedroom for her own comfort and safety, leaving her with little space to explore. She can coexist with gentle cats who give her space, but dominant or pushy cats overwhelm her.
Clarissa would thrive in a calm home with a patient, loving person who respects her boundaries. With space to stretch her legs and the security of knowing she’s safe, this affectionate girl will have every chance to blossom.

9. Coal
Young (1 year 4 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro



Coal is used to being in a quiet space and is a little freaked out with all of the sounds of the shelter. He will run from you at first but he likes pets so he always comes back if you move slow and talk sweet to him. He prefers for people to get down and hold their hand out to him for inspection before he will allow pets, just to make sure it is safe. He came to us with a friend and possible sibling Miss Kitty. They are VERY close and it would be wonderful if they could be adopted together, but it is not required. Coal is very sweet and will make a wonderful kitty for a calm, more quiet home.

10. Miss Kitty
Young (1 year 5 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro



Miss Kitty is a character! She is super sweet and very vocal. She will run from you at first and talk herself (out loud) into not being afraid and will come back for pets. She prefers for people to get down and hold their hand out to her for inspection before she will allow pets...she is a Queen! She loves belly rubs and being outside. She came to us with a friend and possible sibling Coal. They are VERY close and it would be wonderful if they could be adopted together, but it is not required.

11. Lovey
Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro




Lovey showed up as a stray and the owner cared for her until she developed breathing problems from the dander and could not keep her. She has been both indoors and outdoors. She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly and very receptive to human interaction. She is litter box trained and good with other cats. She is more on the laid back side.

12. Pocket
Adult (1 year 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro




Pocket came to us from a home that just had too many cats. She had calicivirus as a kitten and as a result her right eye is cloudy. This doesn't appear to slow her down any or bother her. We know that she is good with other cats and has been both inside and outside. Pocket is also litterbox trained and spayed. She is a petite little thing and is as sweet as can be!

13. Zeppelin
Young (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro


Zeppelin is such a handsome young man and he has a charming personality to match. He is affectionate and gentle but often runs from people when they first approach...he comes back for pets once he realizes you aren't a threat though. Zeppelin has only ever been outdoors and mostly stays on our catio, but ventures inside when he is hungry or wants a comfy place to rest. He would do best as an indoor/outdoor kitty.

14. Joey
Young (1 year 2 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro



Little Joey is such an easy-going, calm and gentle soul. He has only been outdoors but is doing pretty well in the shelter setting and really enjoys being out on our catio. Joey gets along with other felines as well as dogs and would probably do well with kids. He loves to be held and may even make a good lap cat.

15. Sasha
Adult (2 years 2 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro





Sasha has big, beautiful Golden-green eyes. That is the first thing you notice about her. Then you see that she is a petite little thing and extremely friendly. Sasha loves people and snuggles - she is a lap cat for sure! She came to us from a home with too many cats, but she received a lot of good care in the home. She is very good with other cats but is not a fan of dogs. Sasha is litter box trained and has only been inside. She will make a great pet for any home looking to spoil a deserving kitty.

16. Jazzy
Adult (7 years 2 months) · Male · Maine Coon / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro






Jazzy wandered into a store in downtown Mountain View asking for help. He had fleas really bad and had developed flea dermatitis, which has healed now. He was also very skinny. We think he is part Maine Coon due to his size and face shape - he is a BIG BOY! He is also gorgeous with his green eyes and white fur. He does require an indoor home due to the fact that he is de-clawed on all four paws (so sad!). He is a little stand offish at first in new environments but warms up pretty quick. He does let you know if you are petting him and he doesn't like it or doesn't want to be petted. He has a big CAT-titude and is such a character! We will test him with other cats once he is comfortable here. We were told he does not like dogs but he gets on the floor of his enclosure and talks to them when they are near, so we will try him with dogs soon as well.

Why adopt an adult cat in Jonesboro
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
