1. Kiwi 2
Hi, I’m Kiwi! I’m a 5-year-old girl looking for a new family because sadly, my owner is moving and can’t take me along.
I’m a loving, cuddly girl who loves being close to my person. Once I choose you, I’ll be your little shadow, snuggling beside you at night and filling your days with love. I also have a playful side and love to hunt! I can tolerate other cats and get along with small dogs, but I’d truly thrive as your one and only. All I want is a person to call my own and a forever home where I’ll always be loved. Could you be my second chance?
Adoption fee: $85

2. Eclair 2
Hi, I’m Eclair! I’m a shy little tuxedo girl, but once you get to know me, I promise I’ll steal your heart! I love playing with other cats, especially my siblings, so having a kitty friend would make me so happy. Treats and snacks are definitely the way to my heart! I’m also quite the talker when I’m hungry, and when I’m not playing or asking for snacks, you can usually find me soaking up the sunshine.
I might need a little time to warm up, but with patience and love, I know I’ll blossom. I’m just a little girl waiting for someone to see how special I am. Could you be my forever family?

Hi, my name is Oliver!
I may be a little shy at first, but give me a little time and I’ll steal your heart! Once I warm up, I’m the sweetest little lovebug. I’ll follow you around, ask for pets, curl up in your lap, purr up a storm, and make the cutest little biscuits.
I have a playful side, too! I get along with other kitties, love my toys, and sometimes you’ll catch me proudly carrying my favorite toys around like little treasures.
I’m a little bundle of sweetness, cuddles, and playful charm, just waiting for my forever family. Could that be you?

5. Mariel Hemingway
Hey there! I’m Mariel Hemingway! I’m a fun-loving girl with extra toes (yep, I’m a polydactyl!), and I’m always ready for my next adventure! I love jumping, playing, and being a little silly. I may be a bit clumsy, but that just makes me extra cute! I sometimes get carried away with my play bites, so having another kitty around to help me learn good kitty manners would be awesome! Once I’ve gotten all my zoomies out, I’m all about the cuddles. I love sleeping beside my humans and snuggling as close as possible. Could you be the one to give this extra-toed girl her forever home?

7. Astrid
Hi, I’m Astrid, and I’m a sweet little girl who just needs someone willing to let me blossom at my own pace.
I’m shy and a bit skittish, but I love to play and enjoy spending time with my people. I’m more independent and may not be a lap kitty just yet, but I’ll happily be nearby keeping you company.
I’m comfortable with other cats and small dogs and would do best in a patient, quiet home without young children. Give me time, kindness, and love, and I’ll show you my sweet side.

Hi I'm Amber!
I’m a sweet and affectionate young lady, with a beautiful orange tabby coat and a heart that’s ready to love. I enjoy playing, exploring, and soaking up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. Whether it’s chasing a toy or curling up for some pets, I’m happiest when I’m near my people.
I’ve got a calm, gentle nature with just the right amount of playful energy. If you're looking for a loving companion who’s past the tiny kitten chaos but still full of fun, I’d be thrilled to meet you.
Let’s start our next chapter together... I’ll be waiting!

12. Nyx 2
Name’s Nyx. Yes, like the goddess of the night... fitting, right? I’m a confident tortie with a luxurious velvet coat and a brain as sharp as my little claws.
I love to explore, investigate, and supervise all activities in my domain. You're folding laundry? I’ll be there. Typing on your laptop? I’ll proofread. Watching TV? I’ll decide if it’s worth watching. Basically, I’m the boss (but a cute one, so you won’t mind).
I’ve got a big personality, a curious nature, and just enough sass to keep life interesting. When I love you, you’ll know it... and when I want treats, you’ll definitely know it.

13. Misty 3
Hi, I’m Misty , a beautiful Russian Blue mix with the sweetest soul.
I first showed up as a stray, visiting a kind family’s home for food and love. I kept coming back, talking to them and staying close until they realized I wasn’t just visiting…I was asking for help. Little did they know, I was expecting six babies!
I became the sweetest and most devoted mama to my kittens, and now that they’re ready for their own homes, it’s finally my turn!
Read more about Misty 3
I can be a little cautious when we first meet, but once I’m comfortable, my sweet personality shines! I love head scratches, belly rubs, and being close to my person. I’m also a curious girl and may try to sneak out an open door, so my family will need to be mindful of keeping me safely indoors.
I’ve also done wonderfully with a 20-pound dog and wasn’t afraid to confidently say hello.
After giving so much love to my six babies, I’m ready for a forever home where I can finally be someone’s baby.

Meet Naomi!
Naomi is a beautiful little black kitten with a big personality! As the smallest of her litter, this feisty girl has learned that sometimes you have to hold your own—and she certainly does!

When she’s ready to slow down, she’s happy to sit on or between your legs while you’re relaxing on the floor, enjoying some peaceful time with her favorite person.

When introduced to a 20-pound dog, Naomi showed no fear or aggression. She was curious and confident, taking the new experience in stride.

18. Tala 2
Hi, I’m Tala
I may have a tiny little body, but don’t let that fool you—I have a HUGE personality! I’m a Bengal girl who was rescued from a retiring breeder situation, and I’m learning more every day what it means to be a spoiled, loved house kitty.
My absolute favorite thing in the world? My wheel! I could run for hours and would love a home that enjoys my playful, energetic side. When I’m not zooming, I’m soaking up attention from my people—I really love being around humans and getting lots of pets.
Read more about Tala 2
I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of being held, but I show my love in my own sweet ways. I’ll charm you instantly with my big green eyes and my affectionate personality. I bond deeply with my people and will happily keep you company.
Because I like to be the center of attention, I do best as your one and only kitty. At just 6–7 pounds, I’m closer in size to my leopard relatives than your average house cat—but my heart is all about love.
If you’re looking for a unique, beautiful, and lively companion who will truly capture your heart, I just might be your girl

Hi, I'm Strudel! Life hasn't always been kind to me, but I still have so much love left to give. I'm a calm, gentle boy who can be shy at first, but underneath that quietness is a very sweet and affectionate heart.
Read more about Strudel
Once I trust you, I'll stay close by for pets, head rubs, and peaceful company. I was abandoned outside when my family moved away and never came back for me. Even after being left behind, I still believe in people. I still lean into gentle hands and purr when I feel safe. I may take a little time to open up, but when I do, it means something special. I love cozy spots, teaser wands, and little games of hide and seek. More than anything, I'm hoping for a quiet, loving home where I'll never be forgotten again. I can't wait to meet you!

Why adopt an adult cat in Highland
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.
