We love to play and snuggle up to our foster mommy! We are getting a little bit bigger every day so hurry up and get us while we are still little! We will love you forever.

14. Audi

3 Months 1 Day · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 33 mi from Auburndale

Audi is an happy little kitten with a non-stop purr. He gets his name due to that constant rythm of purrs when he's around his people. Audi is a typical kitten that loves to play and explore but he also enjoys a good lap and being petted and cuddled. Audi was trapped at a dumpster, where his mom and siblings were trying to survive. He came to us a little bit older, so he was a bit shy at first, but got over it quickly. He now scurries around like any other kitten, looking for pets and love. He likely will need a little extra time with the transition to a new home, but we expect him to come out of his shell quickly as he did with us.He is almost all black, but does have the cutest little white bikini on his underside.

15. Alfa Romeo

3 Months 1 Day · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Russian Blue / Mixed (short coat) · 33 mi from Auburndale

Alfa Romeo is a sweet kitty, just a little untrusting still. His first response to new things is still to hiss first, then explore after. He is warming up more each day, but won't be ready for a home until he gets past this stage and may still need some patience from an adopter. Alfa was trapped at a dumpster, where his mom and siblings were trying to survive. He came to us a little bit older, thus the skepticism about new things. He will require a steady hand to make sure he doesn't become a wallflower kitten that hides all the time. But with patience this boy continues to blossom.His siblings Austin and Portia are also up for adoption.** Alfa Romeo is a pre-adoption candidate, meaning he can't go home right away, he has to be neutered before home delivery. **

16. Austin

3 Months 1 Day · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 33 mi from Auburndale

Austin is an adventurous, brave kitten mostly focused on play time but he still likes his pets and loves from his humans. He was the first of his siblings to warm up to people and continues to show that confidence on a daily basis - always the first to try something new. Austin was trapped at a dumpster, where his mom and siblings were trying to survive. He came to us a little bit older, so he was a bit shy at first, but got over it quickly, showing his siblings the ropes of how to wrap humans around your little paw. When he does tire out a bit, he can be cuddly, but it doesn't last long before he's off on a new adventure.His siblings Portia and Alfa Romeo are also up for adoption.** Austin is a pre-adoption candidate, meaning he can't go home right away, he has to be neutered before home delivery. **

20. Squeaks

Adult (1 year 2 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 33 mi from Auburndale

Squeaks has the most beautiful jade green eyes! Those eyes and her bengal style markings make her a striking beauty. Her meows a bit squeaky, thus the name Squeaks. She is the mother to the Avenger kittens. She had her kittens in Hunters Creek and had them in an attic during the heat of summer. Spay the Strays took everyone in to make sure the babies and momma didn't disappear to another unknown location. Squeaks has been a great momma to her kittens, but is now ready for a home of her own. She was nothing but skin and bones when she was brought in but has grown into a healthy little girl.

Read more about Squeaks

Squeaks is playful, doing well to entertain herself when humans aren't around. When her people do come she likes to greet you by pushing up against your legs and stand up on her back paws to get pets. She is a quirkly little girl with her sounds and the way she likes to get petted. She likes to be roughly petted as like a dog.

Adopting a cat in Auburndale

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.
