2. Paka
Hi, I'm Paka, that means cat in Swahili. I am 10 weeks old.
I can be a little shy and skittish, but give me a chance and I'll be purring and cuddling on your lap. I'm also very vocal, so have a conversation with me.
I came into the rescue sick and afraid, but with some tender care and love I'm learning to trust people again.
I'd love to have a furry playmate, maybe my sister Katu. I love her and we love to wrestle, but I'll also do just fine on my own.

We are very sweet kittens and our foster mom says we are the best kittens she's ever had!
We are feisty and full of energy, and we love to wrestle and chase our toys ... or whatever happens to move. But then we love to purr and cuddle on you or next to you. Our favorite spot is on your chest or neck, nice and warm and comfortable.

5. Hudson
You can apply for Hudson at www.ladyluckanimalrescue.org under the “Adopt/Foster” Tab.
Hudson is the sweetest orange tabby boy, born around 5/28/2026. He and his siblings came to us from Miami-Dade Animal Services (they were confiscated from the previous owner) looking a bit rough! Thankfully, some TLC brought out how sweet and adorable he is! Hudson is the biggest cuddle bug of the bunch and absolutely LOVES people. He is incredibly friendly, playful and affectionate, and if there is a human available for cuddling, Hudson will be there! He has all the classic orange cat energy—you never quite know what kind of shenanigans he’ll get himself into, but you can always count on him being adorable.
Read more about Hudson
Hudson would do wonderfully in a home with another friendly cat and would love having a feline friend to play with. He does not like dogs, so his ideal home would be dog-free.
Hudson is neutered, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested negative, fecal tested negative, dewormed, and vaccinated (including rabies). He is fostered in Planation, FL.

6. Essex
You can apply for Essex at www.ladyluckanimalrescue.org under the “Adopt/Foster” Tab.
Essex is a beautiful dilute calico girl born around 5/28/2026, and she is the little diva of the litter! She and her siblings came to us from Miami-Dade Animal Services (they were confiscated from the previous owner) after arriving with upper respiratory infections. Once she got some TLC, it became clear that Essex was going to be a very special little lady. While her siblings are busy ripping and running around like wild animals, Essex is usually off to the side, calmly observing the chaos. She is playful and curious, but she has a much more genteel approach to kittenhood.
Read more about Essex
She's not like those other girls. She is very demure. Very mindful. Essex is sweet and affectionate and would love a home where she can have plenty of attention, playtime and a cozy place to supervise all household activities. She would do wonderfully with another friendly cat and would enjoy having a feline companion. Essex is litter box trained and has been fully vetted and is ready to find her forever home
Essex is spayed, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested negative, fecal tested negative, dewormed, and vaccinated (including rabies). She is fostered in Planation, FL.

Madison is an adorable calico girl born around 5/28/2026, and she is definitely the mischievous one of the litter! She and her siblings came to us from Miami-Dade Animal Services (they were confiscated from the previous owner) after arriving with upper respiratory infections and looking, well… pretty crusty and rough around the edges! But after some TLC, this sweet girl was ready to show us her true personality. Madison is playful, affectionate and just a little bit mischievous —in the most adorable way possible.
Read more about Madison
She is a total catbird who loves climbing right up onto your neck or shoulder and rubbing her face all over you. She wants to be right in the middle of whatever you're doing! And if Madison really likes you, she may even reward you with a few love bites. Consider yourself warned. She is a fun, social kitten who would do wonderfully in a home with another friendly cat. She loves having feline friends to play with and would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a kitten with plenty of personality.

19. Shadow
Shadow here! Looking for a lifetime contract for head rubs and breakfast.
Age/Size: 10 Months, male, petite & lean, take after my mom.
Personality: Sweet, a little shy, relaxed, and food-motivated!
The Best Morning Routine: I promise to be right there to greet you the second you wake up—mostly because I can't wait for my morning meal! PS. I like bathroom headrubs too.
Read more about Shadow
My name is Shadow. My current humans (well, I like to call them my servants) found me behind their house on a lucky rescue mission. They didn't just save me—they saved my whole family! I was found with my mom—a gorgeous, petite Munchkin kitty with the cutest little bobtail, she’s available too—and my brothers, Minion and Zed. I’m a lean, compact guy who loves the quiet life. I might start out a little shy, but you'll win me over instantly with head rubs. I also make an excellent alarm clock—I will always be there to greet you in bed for a head rub when you wake up, to make sure my morning breakfast is on time.
Bonus Feature: See that handsome tuxedo in my picture? That’s my brother Zed. We are the ultimate playtime duo. If you're looking to double your luck, adopting us together would be the purr-fect setup! TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SHADOW, PLEASE CONTACT HIS FRIEND, KATHY, AT kdykster@aol.com.

Adopting a cat in Lauderdale Lakes
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.
