Shy at first, this sweet girl is incredibly loving once comfortable! She will adorably prance and make biscuits just to get your attention.

2. Bubba

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

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!

5. Space Camp

Young (4 months 26 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

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.

6. Band Camp

Young (4 months 26 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

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.

Young (4 months 27 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat)

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!

Would you please give us our forever home! We will love you forever!

Spirited, confident, and full of bounce, Blythe is the fearless ringleader of her siblings. Sporting classic, sharply defined tabby stripes, she is always the first to explore a new nook, scale the cat tree, or pounce on a moving wand. She brings joyful energy wherever she goes and makes sure her brothers stay on their toes during every play session. When she finally runs out of battery, she loves tumbling into a kitten pile to recharge for her next big adventure.

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

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.

Equal parts bold adventurer and world-class snuggler, this sweetheart is ready to claim your lap, and your heart. Sporting a striking, ringed "raccoon" tail and an engine-like purr, she pairs standout looks with an unflappable, trusting temperament. Being scooped up into your arms and held close is right up her alley; she settles easily into human touch and won't hesitate to climb onto your chest for an afternoon nap. Sassy foster roommates don't faze her in the slightest, either. She simply shakes off the drama and heads straight for affection.

In time, your patience will be rewarded with sweetness and affection.
She has been around a respectful dog and older children.

Adopting a cat in Lake County

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.
