2. Fuzzy

Young (4 months 27 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 7 mi from Clermont

Hi, we are Cici (calico) & Fuzzy (Black)! A couple of sweet girls ready for our forever homes! We were abandoned when we were only six or seven weeks old to fend for ourselves. Luckily one of 7WHSKRS volunteers found us and has been taking care of us ever since. We were so afraid and so scared and so lonely… But we are super sweet and super happy little girls now! 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. We would love to be adopted together, but it is not required as long as you have another furry friend for us to bond with!

3. Brando 8.26.26

Kitten (1 month 29 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Clermont

With his bold, dark and unique marbled swirl coloring, and heart shaped nose, Brando is the quiet observer who prefers to take in the room before making his move. While his siblings rush headfirst into the fray, he likes to perch up high, thoughtfully watching the action with calm curiosity. Don't let his laid back demeanor fool you though, once he calculates his timing, he pounces with precision and joins right in. After playtime winds down, he is all about the cozy life, happily settling in as the ultimate cuddle anchor for a long, peaceful nap.

4. Beckett 8.26.26

Kitten (2 months 2 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Siamese / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Clermont

Beckett is a sweet, playful spirit with an air of mystery. Currently showing a snowy, light coat that may reveal soft color-point shading as he matures. He strikes the perfect balance between lively antics and gentle companionship. He can chase ribbon teasers with his sister one moment, and curl up side by side with his brother the next. Beckett is as eager to be your shadow as he is to snooze right in the middle of a warm cuddle puddle.

5. Junie

Young (3 months 15 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Clermont

Hi, my name is Junie! And I know my name! Even though my foster mommy likes to call me Cinnabon sometimes because of my unusual & beautiful fur pattern, I still come running when I hear the name Junie! I am a sweet little “classic/swirl” tabby looking for my forever home! I definitely need a young friend to play with! And a warm lap to curl up on! And of course, a loving home! Will you give me a loving home? Love, Junie

6. Marlon 7.23.26

Kitten (2 months 27 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Clermont

I’m a little ball of energy with a whole lot of love to give!

Sitting still? What’s that?! I’m a busy boy with places to explore, toys to chase, and adventures waiting around every corner. I’m always on the go, so you’ll have to be quick if you want to keep up with me! Life is just too exciting to waste time sitting around.

But don’t let all my craziness fool you! Underneath all that energy is a very sweet little guy who loves affection and purrs up a storm. I may not stay still for long, but I’ll do my best to squeeze in some love and cuddles between my next big adventures.

If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing, fill your home with nonstop entertainment, and reward you with lots of sweet purrs, I might just be your perfect match!

Ready, set, PLAY! And then… maybe a little purring.

7. Mickey 7.17.26

Kitten (3 months 2 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Clermont

I can be a little shy when we first meet, so I appreciate a gentle approach and a little patience while I get to know you. But once you’ve earned my trust, I’m ready for fun, playtime, and all the love you’re willing to give! I love playing with toys, having sweet moments with my favorite people, and showing off my affectionate side.

Now, if you really want to make me happy, just give me a cozy hammock! There’s nothing quite like curling up in my favorite little spot and relaxing after a busy day of being adorable. A comfy hammock, a little playtime, and someone who loves me? That sounds like the purr-fect life!

8. Tokyo 12.17.24

Adult (1 year 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Clermont

When I was a kitten, I had to have my eyes removed. When I was surrendered to the local shelter, they reached out to Candy's Cats, who said yes, so here I am. I'm a full-figured girl & once I get the lay of the land (your home), I get around quite well. My foster mom works from home, so it's important for me to have that type of stability, someone around most of the time. I'm not sure about other animals, probably I prefer to be the queen of your heart.

9. Mr. Whiskers 5.1.21

Adult (5 years 3 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Clermont

My days are filled with adventure & love. I bravely kissed noses with my foster's dog & we became fast friends! I adore being the center of attention, exploring every nook & cranny, & playing with toys. After playtime, I love nothing more than a good cuddle. I am doing well eating Natural Balance Limited Ingredients Salmon & Peas. Chicken makes me rip out my fur. If you're looking for a curious, playful, & loving companion, I'm your perfect match! Let's create our own cozy, fun-filled home together.

Adopting a cat with children in Clermont

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
