1. Felix C

Kitten · Male · Tuxedo (short coat) · 2 mi from Ardencroft

Please meet Felix! Felix is a playful tuxedo male kitten. He is a goofy, energetic boy who loves his mouse toy, anything he can chase, and wand toys! Felix is more playful than cuddly but will settle down next to you when he has finally tired himself out.
He is nervous when first meeting people and takes a little bit of time to warm up. Felix has been a single kitten in his foster home and can get mouthy as he learns boundaries. He would do best in a home without young children and with someone who understands he needs to be redirected to toys. He would probably love another kitten or very tolerant cat sibling! He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines and ready to run around in his new home!
Felix is ~3 months old as of Oct.

2. Meadow KC

Kitten · Female · Tortoiseshell (short coat) · 2 mi from Ardencroft

Kid- and Cat-Friendly!!! Hi! My name is Meadow! My foster mom says I am spunky and feisty and a ball of energy. I am a typical kitten. I love playing with all of my toys, especially the tubes that make the crinkling noise when I run through them. I also love toys that dangle, and I can try to catch them. I have learned to run the big wheel in my foster mom's room, and she told me that a lot of the big kitties don't know how to run!
I am also very loving and love to cuddle. Please take me home, and I will be your best friend forever! Please ask to meet me and play with me and have some cuddle time, too! Love, Meadow.
Meadow's foster says, "She loves my cats AND my grandchildren. She’s been a wonderful foster."

    We believe in an adoption approach that considers important details for finding the right fit, such as a person's home, interests and lifestyle. We then match those with an animal's social, exercise and training needs. Unlike “pass/fail” application programs, we strive to match people and animals through education and discovery. We accomplish this through conversation to create an effective, pleasant adoption experience — and most important — to make lasting matches. Each situation, adopter and animal requires a different approach. And while we reserve the right to refuse an adoption, we always make every effort to work with you to address concerns or find the most appropriate companion animal. Before falling in love with one of our animals, please make sure that you are: At least 21 years of age In possession of a valid photo ID Allowed to have a cat or dog where you live (proof of home ownership or copy of lease with pet clause allowing pets is required) Able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide the training, medical treatment and proper care for the animal Able to provide veterinary references for current and past veterinarians PLEASE ALLOW 4-5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR YOUR APPLICATION TO BE THOROUGHLY PROCESSED BY ONE OF OUR ADOPTION COUNSELORS If the animals are still listed on our website they are still available.

Adopting a cat in Ardencroft

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.
