1. Bubba
Bubba (also known as Bubba Ganoush or Bubba Baby) is a playful and fun cat! He loves to be near his people all day. If he’s not sitting on your lap, he’s perched on a cat tower or laying on the couch near you. Bubba was rescued as a stray and he adapted to house cat life so quickly. He plays well with other cats and has learned appropriate cat behavior from his cat foster siblings. It seems the only habit he’s held on to from street cat life is some food anxiety. He can be a little too eager to eat, but is never aggressive over food. His foster parents have nothing but great things to say about him and he will be a wonderful addition to someone's home!

3. Sabrina
Sabrina is exactly like a homemade cookie or favorite blanket - warm, soft and comforting. Curious and intelligent, cozy and quiet, she learns routines quickly and loves to observe everything you do. Sabrina would love to be your only pet or share the space with a calm, respectful cat after a slow and intentional introduction (she is friendly with other cats and tends to avoid conflict, but I always recommend Jackson Galaxy's method for proper introductions). Her ideal home? Quiet and full of cozy spaces- especially by the window. Sabrina is shy but sweet and is the kind of cat who will come running to greet you at the door and jump on the couch to binge watch with you for a good cuddle and peaceful vibes.

If you’re looking for a low-key feline friend Sabrina may just be your perfect match. Sabrina is easily one of the most well-behaved cats I've ever had the pleasure of fostering, and I hope someone just as special takes a chance on her because she is soul cat material - the kind of cat that makes people who don't like cats change their minds. To meet this young lady, please email her foster mom at: eovasquez18@gmail.com. Adoption is only $50 and includes her spay surgery, initial vaccines, rabies, microchip and FELV/FIV testing.

Meet Belle, a sweet two-year-old girl looking for her forever home!

A true philosopher, she prefers cuddles to running around and even enjoys falling asleep to thrillers on TV! With her round, impossibly soft body and little bobtail, she resembles both a British Shorthair and a Kurilian Bobtail.

10. Zoe
Meet Zoe, the biggest and most gorgeous kitty ever!
Read more about Zoe
Eyes popped when Zoe arrived at Orange County Animal Shelter back in May: we couldn't believe that she weighed a whopping 23 lbs...that's more than double the weight of a healthy adult cat! Poor Zoe was surrendered by her owners of twelve years, because she did not approve of the new baby in the house. At the shelter, she was understandably stressed and was lashing out. No one could even touch her, and even approaching her cage made Zoe hiss and swat. Then, she came down with an upper respiratory infection (a kitty cold), which only added to her misery. We knew she wouldn't improve in the shelter environment, so Zoe came to foster care to recover emotionally from losing her home, get over her cold, and to lose some weight.
It took a few weeks for Zoe to get comfortable enough to allow her foster mom to pet her, but once she did, she loved being petted. What she craves most (beside treats) is being brushed! It is one of favorite things, and she will purrr and rub her head against the brush asking for more. Since Zoe was so fat, she couldn't reach around to groom her back, and the brushing felt wonderful. Her coat is very glossy now from all the pampering! Click on the short video below to see how much Zoe loves getting brushed. She also pats your arm when she wants to be petted, it is so cute!
Zoe is very affectionate and likes being around people, but she needs a certain kind of home: No young children, no other cats, and someone who understands that she has her boundaries. She wouldn't allow anyone to pick her up at first - probably because it wasn't comfortable due to her weight - but now she lets her foster mom hold her and even purrs. Zoe has made incredible progress since she's been in foster care, but she needs someone who respects her boundaries when she's "done" (don't we all)., and will let you know when she's getting annoyed (usually swishing her tail)
Zoe has lost an astonishing 6 lbs since May, and you can tell she feels so much better! She can now groom properly and even jumps around the room and up on the sofa asking for attention. At age 12, she's very vibrant, and had many more healthy, wonderful years left, especially as she continues to lose a bit more weight. She cannot be allowed to free-feed and can never eat people food or excessive treats. In foster care, Zoe eats two meals a day of high-quality cat kibble and some canned food on top. She gets two or three treats a day, and boy, does she look forward to them!
Zoe came to OCAS as a severely unhealthy, depressed, angry girl, and she's transformed over the last few months. We think that once she's in a stable, calm home and continues on her weight loss plan, she will get even better - physically and emotionally. Her foster mom says Zoe is loving, funny, and calm, and she's got a lot of love to give someone who can provide the environment and patience she needs.
Are you a perfect match for big, beautiful Zoe? Contact me, Caroline, to arrange a meet and greet!
You can text me: 407-340-7668 or email: Caroline@kittenschool.com for more info on Zoe and to arrange to come meet her. We are halfway between downtown Orlando and Millenia Mall area.
Zoe and I are looking forward to meeting you!
Adoption is through Orange County Animal Services, fee $50 and includes updated vaccines, microchip, and medical exam. Zoe's adopter will also go home with a large goody bag full of cat treats, toys, and other fun kitty items!

11. Luna
Meet Luna, a sweet, chatty 10-year-old girl with a playful personality and lots of love to give.
Luna spent her first 10 years in a home, but when her previous owners welcomed a baby, she struggled with the big change and was ultimately surrendered through no fault of her own. Now, she is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel secure and be someone’s special girl again.
Adorable things about Luna:
Read more about Luna
She loves being pet & brushed
She greets you with lots of little meows when you come home
She enjoys napping close to her people
She loves catnip
Her favorite toys are pom poms and ribbon wands
She can still jump!
She likes birdwatching
She enjoys drinking from the faucet
Luna does well with men and women
Luna would be a wonderful companion for a senior, or for someone who works during the day. She may need a bit of dental work, likely some extractions and a good cleaning so she can feel her best.
We are looking for a peaceful home without young children for Luna, and most importantly, a family who will stay by her side and give her time to open her heart again. After everything she has been through, Luna deserves a home that will give her the stability, affection, and care she needs, and she has plenty of love to give in return.
If you would like to meet Luna please email her foster mom at michelle.fostering@gmail.com. Please include some information about your family, kids, and any other pets, so we can understand where she might be living.

14. Space Camp
Meet Space Camp!
She is one of those rare female gingers and is the shyest and gentlest member of the Camper litter. She can be reserved around new people and may need a little time to feel comfortable, but underneath that cautious exterior is a kind, loving, and happy kitten. Once she feels safe, her purrs begin, her affectionate personality comes through, and she will repay your patience with cuddles and love.
Read more about Space Camp
Space prefers quieter playtime and enjoys small plastic toys, catnip toys, and feather wands. She has not been introduced to dogs but loves being around other cats. Her ideal home would be a calm household with a patient family and a friendly feline companion to help her feel secure.
Space shares an incredibly special bond with her brother, Band Camp. Band is outgoing, playful, and adventurous, while Space is gentle, thoughtful, and reserved. Their personalities perfectly complement each other, and his confidence helps her adjust to new situations. They play together, sleep together, and can often be found cuddling with their paws wrapped around each other. Watching them hug, play, and care for one another is truly wonderful.
Our greatest hope is that Space and Band will be adopted together. Band gives Space confidence and reassurance, while Space gives Band a gentle, loving companion. Adopting them as a pair would allow them to adjust to their new home together while giving their family twice the affection, entertainment, and love.
Space Camp is litter-box trained and uses her kitten scratch boards. She is tested neg /neg for FIV and FeLV, microchipped, spayed, and has completed her age-appropriate vaccinations.
Preference will be given to a family interested in adopting Space Camp and Band Camp together. However, individual adoption may still be considered if the right patient home and suitable feline companionship are available.

15. Band Camp
Meet Band Camp, the most outgoing and energetic member of the Camper litter! This handsome little guy is extremely loving, endlessly curious, and happiest when he is near his people. Band is always ready for playtime, kitten parkour, or an investigation of something new. To him, everything is a toy. His favorites are squishy toys, mylar balls, plastic springs, feather wands, and shoelaces. He also enjoys scratching posts and kitten scratch boards.
Read more about Band Camp
Once playtime is over, Band’s affectionate side takes over. His purr motor is fully installed, and he is an excellent lap cat and snuggle buddy. He loves attention, seeks out human companionship, and will happily curl up with his foster family when he is ready for a nap. Band has not yet been exposed to dogs, but with his confident and social personality, he may do well with a cat-friendly dog after slow and careful introductions. He is gentle enough for pet respectful children age 8 or older. Because he is a quick and energetic kitten who loves racing underfoot, he may not be the best match for an elderly household. Band is litter-box trained and uses his scratching surfaces appropriately. Band is neutered, completed his kitten vaccination series, Rabies vaccs, microchipped, and is FIV neg /FeLV neg.
Preference will be given to a family interested in adopting Band Camp and Space Camp together.
Band shares a special bond with his sister, Space Camp. Band is the confident adventurer, while Space is the sweet, gentle observer. Their personalities perfectly complement each other, and they bring out the best in one another. They play together, sleep together, and can often be found cuddling with their paws wrapped around each other. Band’s confidence helps Space feel safe, while her calm nature gives him a loving companion when playtime is over. Our ideal outcome would be for Band and Space to be adopted together. They are a ready-made family and would enter their new home with a familiar playmate, snuggle partner, and source of comfort. For someone considering two kittens, they truly are a perfect pair.

Adopting a cat in Fairview Shores
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.
