8. Kimura and Leo
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from Lafayette




Meet Kimura (Kimmie for short) and Leo, 5 month old kitten brother and sister, and the perfect combination of temperaments and personality. These two came from a hoarding/ neglect situation and were starved and sick upon intake. Luckily, these two are resilient and pulled through though not all of their siblings were as fortunate. Due to all of the early medical intervention and care, they have grown into quite the tolerant, gentle, and loving duo making them suitable for respectful children.
Kimura (Female, Black nose) - Bold, confident, and rambunctious, she is the first one to show up to the party and the last one to leave. She loves to play, gets along with everyone, seems to like being held and pet, takes medication well, and allows for nail trimming without incident. While she is affectionate and sweet, her number one priority right now is play and she goes all out with a wand and mice (her favorite). She is full of spunk and character. Also, she has the most beautiful multicolor eyes!
Leo (Male, White face) - Gentle, calm, and serene, there is something about this little boy that is hard to put into words. While he loves to play, he also has a slow paced, observant nature that somehow exudes peace and tranquility, reminding his humans to slow down and breathe. When he wants affection, he never imposes or asserts, but rather quietly and patiently waits. He will gently lean into your hand and paw for you in the air without touching you signaling for more love. You will find him curled up around the house in the most cozy of spots sleeping peacefully, though he is more than happy to be stirred for pets or treats. Along with his peaceful, tranquil vibe, he loves plants (primarily eating them) so he will need a home where he is kept safe from himself in that department.

9. Ber and Bolo
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from Lafayette




Meet Ber & Bolo ( about 5 months old), two brothers who also happen to be besties. They came from a hoarding/ neglect situation and were starved and sick upon intake. Luckily, these two are resilient and pulled through though not all of their siblings were as fortunate. Due to all of the early medical intervention and care, they have grown into quite the tolerant, gentle, and loving duo making them suitable for gentle children.
Ber (all gray) - As sweet and loving as they come. He is a purr box and starts rumbling before you even begin touching him. He cuddles wonderfully and is the only of his kitten counterparts who prioritizes affection and cuddling over play (though he also loves to play).
Read more about Ber and Bolo
Very food motivated, easy to trim his nails, takes medication like a little champ, is tolerant of being held and carried and kissed in the face. Gets along wonderfully with the other cats in the home and has good manners after an introductory period. He is still learning to find his voice it seems and gives the sweetest, nearly silent cries for pets and wet food.
Bolo (gray and white) - Slower to warm up and a bit more apprehensive, but ultimately a cuddle and love bug as well who chirps to communicate and meows when it is wet food time. Once comfortable, he is also a spunky and tolerant kitty who is gentle and occasionally gives soft love bites. He likes to run in front of his foster mom while she is walking and flop onto the floor while looking up at her expectantly for pets. He also does this on a few other designated pet spots in the home including the couch and the bed. He also can be a bit hissy when first meeting a new cat but he is all bark and no bite. He now loves and cuddles with all of the older adult cats in the home if they allow him to.
*Both of these boys need a home that will give them the time to acclimate at their own pace and build trust (took about 1-2 weeks after moving to their current foster home to full embrace the humans). After that period, they will reward you with plenty of love and laughs.

Read more about Big guy and Crooked Tail
Meet the Miniature Panthers — Two Cats, Zero Personal Space!
Big Guy and Crooked Tail are a bonded pair of handsome black cats who take their job as professional lap cats very seriously. Sit on the floor and, within seconds, one of them will likely be in your lap purring like a tiny motorboat. Consider yourself warned.
They also enjoy the finer things in life: lounging on their cat tree, watching out the windows, and generally supervising everything that happens in their kingdom.
The boys spent their first 8 months living outdoors, but they've decided that indoor life is MUCH better. Soft beds? Excellent. Windows? Fascinating. Lap? Obviously.
Big Guy is the outgoing one. He’s friendly with everyone and assumes that anyone he meets is probably a potential friend.
Crooked Tail is a little more cautious and likes to observe things before joining the party. But pull out the chin scratches and he’ll warm up quickly. And then there’s his wonderfully weird tail! When he’s relaxed and curious, his tail curls around his body instead of standing straight up. The vet suspects he was simply born this way. We think it gives him extra personality points.
These two have discovered that being indoor cats is pretty fabulous. Now they just need a forever home where they can continue their important work of purring, lounging, window-watching, and occupying laps.
Two miniature panthers. One big dose of personality. And yes, they come as a package deal.

Adopting a cat in Lafayette
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.
