2. Coraline
Kitten (2 months 4 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 17 mi from Farmington


Coraline's story started behind a fence, where she was found screaming for help. Somewhere along the way, humans had failed her, and she learned that hiding was the safest way to protect herself.
Since coming into our care, Coraline has made wonderful progress, but she is still learning that people can be trusted. She is a very special girl, which is why we will be extremely particular about the home we choose for her.
Read more about Coraline
Coraline needs a quiet, calm, patient home where she can continue building her confidence at her own pace. She is not a good match for a loud or chaotic household, and her adopter must understand that trust takes time. She needs someone who will never force her, rush her, or expect her to become am affectionate lap cat overnight.
Her adopter needs to understand that earning her trust is a process. She needs someone who will see how special she is, and be committed to giving her the peaceful, secure life she deserves.
Coraline has already had humans fail her once. We are determined to make sure that never happens again.
She has already survived the hardest part. Now Coraline just needs someone willing to put in the time and work to earn her trust. The journey may take some patience, but the reward of watching her blossom and knowing she finally feels safe will be twofold.

6. Blitz C
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 26 mi from Farmington







Meet BLITZ — He’s Ready to Follow You Home!
Sometimes a cat makes it pretty obvious what he wants—and Blitz wants PEOPLE! ❤️
When Blitz first arrived at Forgotten Cats, he was understandably relieved to be safe, comfortable, and off the streets. Then, he took another wonderful step forward: Blitz had graduated to the free-roaming room!
And he was absolutely loving it.
Blitz enjoyed the freedom to explore, stretch his legs, and spend time with the other cats. He got along with his feline roommates and seemed quite happy having some kitty friends around.
But when visitors walk into the room, Blitz knew exactly where he wanted to be.
With you.
This affectionate boy will follow visitors around the room looking for attention, hoping for pets and companionship.
Read more about Blitz C
Stop to give him a little love, and Blitz is more than happy to soak it all up. With those enormous golden-green eyes watching you, he’s pretty hard to resist!
Of course, Blitz would prefer that when you eventually walk out the door, he gets to come with you.
He’s safe. He has friends. He’s getting plenty of love. But what Blitz still doesn’t have is the one thing he deserves most—a forever family of his very own.
Imagine this sweet little shadow following you from room to room at home, keeping you company and stopping along the way for plenty of pets. ❤️
Before coming to Forgotten Cats, Blitz had already been neutered and microchipped. Now all that’s missing is his person.
Come meet Blitz. In one photo, Millie decided to walk over to say Hello to Blitz. Please stop into our Millsboro PetSmart, and you can meet both of them!

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 36 mi from Farmington




Starting October 6, all cats and kittens are FREE to adopt! Come find your new best friend today!Meet Nimbus ☁️ Nimbus is a 5-year-old sweetheart who came to us as an owner surrender when his previous family could no longer care for him. He arrived with his sister, who has since been adopted, and now Nimbus is patiently waiting for his turn. While they shared their journey to us, they do not need to be adopted together. Nimbus is ready to find a loving home all his own. Nimbus can be shy when meeting new people, taking a little time to decide if you're someone he can feel safe with.

It's a quiet, sweet gesture that shows just how much your presence matters to him. With a bit of patience and kindness, Nimbus blossoms into a loyal, tender companion who loves sharing those small, meaningful moments. One of the quickest ways to Nimbus's heart is at mealtime. He loves his food and will happily greet his favorite people with affectionate leg rubs as he waits for his meal to arrive. While he's becoming more confident every day, sudden movements and loud activity can still startle him, so he'll do best with a family that understands his sensitive nature and allows him to approach new things at his own pace. Nimbus is looking for a low-traffic home where he can truly relax and settle in. A calm environment with predictable routines will help him feel secure and allow his sweet personality to shine. He dreams of a cozy spot by the window, a soft bed to curl up in, and a family that understands that trust is something special that's built over time.

Adopting a cat in Farmington
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.
