Hi, I’m Ritz!

I LOVE to play! Chasing toys, racing after other cats, and running through the house are some of my favorite things.

I’m still figuring out this whole lap-cat thing. For now, I’m happiest curled up
next to you or snuggled into a soft blanket
. As I get more comfortable, who knows? Your lap might eventually become one of my favorite resting spots.

If you’re looking for a fun, energetic kitten who will keep you laughing and then settle in nearby when playtime is over,
I might be your perfect Ritz!

20. Padama

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 4 mi from Hartley

Padme

My name is Padme, and I have quite the story to tell.

I was found all alone as a tiny stray kitten, stranded on a second-story patio and crying out for help. Thankfully, someone heard me and gave me a chance. Even though I had a rough start, I learned to trust people very quickly and discovered that life indoors is pretty wonderful.

One of my favorite things is stretching out in a warm sunbeam for a cozy nap. I've also learned that cuddles with my foster mom and dad are amazing, and I happily soak up all the love I can get. When I'm not napping or snuggling, you'll find me chasing wand toys—they are absolutely my favorite!

Read more about Padama

I may have an underdeveloped eye, but that doesn't slow me down one bit. I'm a confident, happy girl who approaches life with curiosity and courage. As I grow older, I may need some extra veterinary care related to my eye, so I'll be looking for a family that is prepared to give me the love, attention, and support I deserve.

I'm also comfortable living in a multi-pet home and get along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

What makes me special isn't just my unique beauty—it's my resilient spirit and loving heart. I'm hoping to find a forever family that sees how perfect I am, just the way I am.

Adopting a cat in Hartley

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.
