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. Tigra
You can apply for Tigra at www.ladyluckanimalrescue.org under the “Adopt/Foster” Tab. ❤️
Meet Tigra, a stunning smokey black-and-tan tortoiseshell female kitten born approximately October 16, 2025.Tigra and her two sisters were found outside by a good Samaritan, and we were asked to help take them in. Tigra is curiously cautious and slightly shy at first because she likes to inspect, study, and sniff before taking action. After sniff inspections pass she is social, independent yet friendly with everyone. She’s athletic and loves to purrkour, running at top speed and refuels by gently eating snacks from your hand. Her quirk is she pokes her water before drinking and is entertained by ice cubes. She will get FOMO (fear of missing out) and likes to supurrvise your daily activities.
Tigra is spayed, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested negative, dewormed, and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines, including rabies. She is litter box trained, and is being fostered in Tamarac, FL.

17. 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 North Lauderdale
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.
