1. Aj
Hello! I’m MAC (DOB: ~07/31/2023), a male Chocolate and White Lambkin, also known as a Nanus Rex, a hybrid cat originally created by crossing the short-legged Munchkin with the curly-coated Selkirk Rex. My outstanding features are my small size, short legs, and soft, beautiful coat, making me a member of one of the rarest cat breeds. When I first meet you, I can be a bit shy and withdrawn, but once I learn to trust and feel comfortable in my new home, I can be sociable, affectionate, and enjoy my human company. I need a devoted cat parent who enjoys spending time with me as much as I enjoy spending time with them.

My grooming requirements aren’t too heavy. This is because my fur is soft, so gentle brushing a few times a week should suffice to keep my coat knot and mat free. And, I love my treats – when I hear you shake the bag, I’ll come running, will eat them all, and will then ask for more – and that’s how you can earn my trust!! I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $350.00.

8. Plumpy
Howdy! My name is Plumpy, and I'm a brown tabby boy kitty who is 6 months old. Not only that, I'm also a Manx! I don't have a tail at all, unless you count the tiniest bit of a fluffy bit right where a tail would be. I'm maybe the shyest of my siblings, but that doesn't mean I'm all that shy! I'm actually the only boy out of my siblings, so I just have to sit back sometimes and let the girls be in charge of everything. Which is fine by me! I have a very nice purr that I make when people come and pet me, and I really love to play with wand toys! I am a fan of being pet and of getting snuggles, though you have to catch me first, hah! If you're looking for a good-natured boy with a unique look, you should think about adopting me.

Hi! My name is Jolly, and I'm a 6 month old tabico girl kitty--and I'm ALSO a Manx! I don't have a tail at all, unless you count the tiniest bit of a fluffy bit right where a tail would be. I'm probably the calmest of my siblings, and like all of them, I have a very nice purr that I make when people come and pet me. I am definitely up for snuggles, and I am all about playtime, too! If you're looking for a pretty girl with a unique look, you should think about adopting me--and if you want more than one kitty, I have so many siblings that you could pick from to go with me!

10. Sweetie Potamus
Hi there! My name is Sweetie Potamus, and I'm a 2 year old black and white tuxedo girl kitty! I had some kittens here at the shelter, and now that they've found their furever homes, it's my turn! I'm a sweet girl, though I am a little skittish at first. You can pet me, just have some patience and a little persistence. I'm told I am a pretty girl, so I hope that's true and not just people being nice to me. I think I'm going to like having a furever home and a furever family of my own. It sounds like a great gig! Food and playtime and love, all in exchange for me purring and just being my sweet self!

11. Bjorn
Greetings! I'm Bjorn, and I am a grey and white tuxedo boy kitty. I'm 2 months old, and getting bigger every day! I love playing with my siblings, Jennie and Vinson! We don't have to be adopted together, but if you're looking for more than one kitten, you could consider 2 or even all of us! I also love to spend time getting lots of snuggles and pets, and napping. When I'm not napping, I love batting toys around--there are these cool spring toys we get to play with sometimes, and those are so fun! Come see me soon!

Hello there! My name is Vinson, and I'm a whole 2 months old! I am a grey and white tuxedo boy kitty. I am a mellow little guy for the most part, though I can play and run around like any other kitten. I think toys are great, I'm learning how to purr really good, and I love playing with my siblings, Jennie and Bjorn! We don't have to be adopted together, but if you're looking for more than one kitten, you could consider 2 or even all of us! Also, I am good at snuggling, and I think I'm going to make a really good little lap cat!

13. Harrison
Hiya! My name is Harrison, and I am a 5 month old brown and white tabby boy! I have very nice little white shoes, and I love to run around and play! I am told I have very soft fur, and that I'm a friendly, sweet guy, and I definitely agree with that! I love to be pet, though I might be just a tad skittish at first if you pick me up. Not because I hate being picked up, just because I'm getting used to it--after all, if you had a giant cat reach towards you and lift you several times higher than your own height, you might need a little time to get used to that, too! So anyway, I am super excited about finding my furever family, so I hope they find me soon.

14. Lea
Bonjour! My name is Lea, and I am a brown and white tabby girl with a VERY pink nose! I'm 3 months old, and as you can see from my photos, my tabby markings make it look like I put thick eyeliner on. But my face is all natural beauty! While I don't need to curl my lashes to look prettier, I DO love to curl up to get pets all over. I love to purr when I'm being pet and snuggled. I think playing with toys is also a ton of fun--and I'm not picky about toys at all. Pretty much every toy is a good toy, as far as I'm concerned. Springs, mice, balls, whatever! So if you're looking for a friendly girl who wants a good furever home, consider me!

I love exploring my world and finding new ways to entertain myself, but when playtime is over and I’m ready for a nap, I’ll seek out a cozy lap to curl up in. / I can't think of any dislikes since I am a kitten, but I would not like it if I didn't get the love and attention all kitties deserve!
• MEDICAL: I've started my kitten shots, but you must finish those for me as I grow. I am microchipped. I'm not yet spayed due to my small size, but it is required and will be done as soon as I grow a little more. Mostly Mutts will cover that cost with one of their approved vets in the North Metro Atlanta area, so local adoptions only.
I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $175.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

19. Dina
Hello! My name is Dina, and I am a grey and white ticked tabby girl! I'm 6 months old. If you haven't heard of a ticked tabby before, that is when my individual hairs are striped, instead of just being a regular tabby pattern. It's a very elegant, ombre look, and I also have a white bib and white feet to complete my look! But better than how I look is how sweet I am! I love to purr for people, and I am definitely going to purr if you come visit me. I enjoy being snuggled and held, and I also like to play! Playing with toys is fun, and I'm not super picky about what kind. Wand toys are definitely cool, especially the kinds with feathers! Oh, and I should say, while I am a beautiful girl, sometimes when I wake up from a nap, I might have a bit of an RBF (resting badass face), but I promise I'm friendly even when my face doesn't look like it! Please come see me soon!

20. Diala
Hi! My name is Diala, and I'm a one year old tabico girl! A tabico is a calico whose coloring has tabby stripes! I have a white bib and cute little white feet, too. I am a friendly girl to pretty much any person that comes up to see me, and I love to be pet. I will lean into being pet, and I also get excited about head scritches. I might give you licks or even love bites! I can be held, but just a warning--I really don't like other kitties, so if you get me out of my cage, don't let me see the other kitties or I will start acting pretty sassy! I don't think it makes me a diva or anything, I just know that I want to be your only kitty! So if you're just looking for one cat, I am a purrfect choice!

22. Quartz
Hi there! My name is Quartz! I'm a black and white boy kitty who is 11 months old. I'm a little shy and timid here at the shelter, but that's because there is so much going on, and I haven't been here for all that long. I'm still learning the ropes. I'm okay with being pet; I just need someone who is a little patient with me--I'm a nice kitty, but like I said, I'm not used to any of this, and I am learning to trust people. I love to watch everything going on--I'm curious, and smart, and I can see that most people just want to pet me and give me love. I'm very interested in this "furever family" thing I keep hearing about--it sounds really cool! So I hope that mine finds me soon, because I am eager to have people who love me and want the best for me--I know that when my people find me, I am going to have so much love to give back!

23. Link
Hello! My name is Link, and I'm a 2 month old boy kitty with soft black fur! My ears are a little small, but that doesn't mean I can't hear you if you talk to me! I am sharing a cage with my sister, Zelda. If you're thinking about getting two kitties, we do make a good pair, but we're also okay being adopted separately. Anyway, about me--I am a laidback, fun-loving little dude. I make really good biscuits, and I am so fond of being held! Please come and pick me up for snuggles--I might not seem super interested when you first open the cage, but I am all about getting some love. I just don't think I should demand it too much--I'd rather you come to me, and if you do, you will be rewarded with my great purrsonality! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention--I am really good at making tongue blep faces!

24. Della
Howdy! You can call me Della, because that's my name! I'm a 3 year old girl kitty with a mostly white coat, but I have calico or tortoiseshell splotches. Some would say I'm a white and tabico cat. But what I look like doesn't matter as much as my lovely purrsonality! I love to sing the song of my people and have conversations with anyone who comes to the shelter. I am a big fan of cuddling, and being pet, and I am an expert at sitting in a perfect loaf. I think playing is super fun, especially if there's a wand toy for me to chase and swat at! My fur is super soft, too! In general, I'm an outgoing, friendly girl who is beyond ready for my furever family to find me, because I am so full of love, and so ready to share it with my people!

25. Crash
Hi! My name is Crash, and I'm a mostly black kitty boy! I do have a little splotch of white on my chest. I'm 4 months old, and I'm sharing a cage with my sister, Coco! We love each other, and because we are both FIV+, we would love to be adopted together! I know FIV+ sounds scary, but all it means is that we're more likely to get sick if we're exposed to other cats that are sick. It's only transmitted through severe bites or being born with it (like us). So we need to be inside-only cats, and as long as we get along, we can live safely with other cats!

Now, if you want to know more about me purrsonally, I am a bit more timid than my sister, but I do like to be pet! I am just more chill, and I prefer to observe and keep tabs on what's going on around me. I also would make a great house panther--I mean, just look at how much I look like a tiny panther! I am so looking forward to my furever family finding me and bringing me home!

Hiya! My name is Croft! I am a black boy kitty who is a whole 2 months old. I'm sharing a cage with my mom Jacqueline and my sister Lara, and I love hanging out with them! It would be really cool if I got adopted with one of them, but I would also love to be adopted on my own. Especially if you're going to give me lots of love and attention! I am a little more chill than my sister--I like to be pet and cuddled. It's so nice to be held and loved on by people! I'm playful, too--I am a kitten, after all! But I'm not so squirmy as my sister is, hah. So come visit us, and if you're looking for the perfect house panther for your house, maybe it's me?

27. Chickadee
Hi there! I’m CHICKADEE (DOB ~06\12\2026), a male Seal Point Snowshoe mix. I am a very sweet, smart, calm, and playful kitten. While I do love to play, I am not rowdy or mischievous. My favorite toys are ping pong balls, toys I can carry around, toys I can chase, and any game where I have to figure something out. Ping pong soccer is my favorite game. When I am done playing, I love getting in my foster mom’s lap. She says I have a wonderful, loud purr. I love attention and being held for a good snuggle. I love my pal JAY, so I must be adopted with him. I’m okay with the dog in my foster home that doesn’t bark a lot. I’m also okay with the adult cats, but prefer playing with my friends. I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee with JAY is $200.00.

Greetings! I’m JAY (DOB ~06\12\2026), a male red tabby/white domestic shorthair male. I am a very smart, sweet, and playful kitten. When I play, I am all in. When I snuggle, I am also all in. I am captain of the ping pong soccer team in my foster home. My favorite toys are ping pong balls, anything I can chase, and any toys I can carry around. When I am done playing, I am the first one into my foster mom’s lap. I “help” with whatever my foster mom is doing while in our room and make sure that she scoops our litter boxes correctly and fills our food bowls the way they should be filled. I have a wonderful loud purr and love attention.

29. Koala
Hello! I’m KOALA (DOB ~06\22\2026), a female Seal Tortie Point Siamese mix. I got my name because the minute my foster mom saw me, she thought I looked just like a baby koala. I’m the smallest of the colony kittens and I am very bonded with RAVEN, so we must be adopted together. I love to play, follow my foster mom around my room, and snuggle with RAVEN, who “adopted” me when I first arrived in my foster home. I was very small and was wary of the bigger kittens, but RAVEN helped me by playing with me and not letting the bigger kittens be rough with me. Now I am big enough to hold my own with them and love playing “ping pong soccer” every night.

My favorite toys are ping pong balls, any toy with a tail on it so I can carry it around, and soft toys that are big enough for me to practice my cat skills on. When I am tired from playing, I love a lap and having RAVEN to snuggle with. I am very sweet, smart, playful, and calm. I am ok with the dog in my foster home that doesn’t bark at us. I’m also okay with the adult cats. I am spayed, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. Our adoption fee together is $200.00.

Hi! I’m RAVEN (DOB ~06\12\2026), a female black domestic shorthair. I’m sweet, smart, playful, and utterly devoted to my BFF KOALA! So we must be adopted together. I’ve been in a foster home since I was rescued from a cat colony as a young kitten. I love to play, especially with ping pong balls, toys that I can chase, and catnip toys. I love being in a lap, which is where you can find me after I am tired from playing. I “adopted” KOALA when she arrived at my foster home a few days after me and we bonded quickly. We love to play together and have very similar personalities. We can be found snuggling together during our daytime nap.

Adopting a cat in Polk 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.
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.
