Little Wren is unsure but promising! This girl can be frightened by new situations or things she doesn't expect, but who could blame her for that??

8. Bella
Bella is one of our young mommies! She raised adorable kittens very well (coming soon), and she is ready to be the center of attention. Bella is easygoing, but she has had it with other cats, and she is the only pet you need. So many kittens took it out of her! She also loves to greet her humans and is sweet natured with just a silly sprinkle of tortitude. It doesn’t hurt anything that she’s teeny and beautiful. Estimated at only two and fully vetted, Bella is all ready to start her life with a family!

9. Indy
Does Indy look a little unimpressed? He is just relaxing, and has perfected the impassive gaze to avoid the zealousness of his crazy sister, Izzy! Indy would like to go home with another young cat or kitten to help him grow the rest of the way up, and his particularly fond of his brother, Iggy. Apply to meet all at once!

10. Iggy
Iggy may look bored, but he’s simply trying to enjoy a quiet moment in the hammock with his brother, Indy! Their sister, Izzy, is a live wire. The two boys would benefit from another young cat in the home, and they would really like to stick together! So this could be your perfect pair. Apply to meet all the siblings and see if a more relaxed but playful pair or a high octane girly is more your speed!

11. Reva
Reva needs a little help and patience. We know she is a sweet cat because we spent a lot of time with her one-on-one in the intake area, even giving her medicine for typical parasite control. She was always calm and relaxed and had a very comforting demeanor--in fact, her kittens are the ultra-social litter, mostly dilute torties, with R names! She raised those babies to be so friendly, but Reva herself is having a little trouble getting used to a community room. This honestly isn't a huge surprise when it comes to cats in general, as most need a gradual transition to any new situation. It's amazing most of our cats do so well when it's not really practical for us to slowly introduce them! So Reva is feeling a little shy right now and doesn't always want to come out, though she is not fighting or causing any problems. She is just taking things at her own pace, and we hope a bit of time will help her adjust so that this description can be updated! Before you meet beautiful Reva, you must know that she's had hard times in her life and she may not crawl right into your lap. . . but you also must know that she does like people, and she just needs time and stability to shine and to bond with the human she has always dreamed of. Would you be willing to take a chance on her? Could you find a place in your heart for her to get comfortable and share her purrs forever?

12. Norman
Handsome Norman is a favorite among his human friends and ready for a beautiful life! How such a cat came to be on his own, we have no idea, but we find all kinds. It is typical for cats to take some time to adjust to new situations, but after a short while, Norman found himself strolling the adoption floor comfortable and happy. (It probably helped that his people were so enthusiastic about offering him extra love!) He is a fairly chill cat, but that doesn't mean he isn't up for a play session if engaged! He likes to cuddle and love, and is always trying to get to his humans. Norman had a bad URI when we found him, and his eyes have a unique look at the time because we are treating an eyelid condition. They are doing much better than they were!! Norman does not act for one second like he's uncomfortable, feels sorry for himself, or even knows he looks different, which he barely does. He can see just fine. What he sees is that cats are nice friends and people are perfect for loving and being loved!! What more could you ask for in a pet than that? Applying to meet Norman does not obligate you to adopt, but he is worth knowing.

13. Arabella
Arabella is a shy, small baby who needs your help to continue coming out of her shell! She is used to being handled, but she needs to learn the joys of a home full of play, love, and forever. We are starting the process now that she is fully vetted! But a family committed to this little baby would help her the most. Consider applying to meet Arabella and our other cats and kittens. . . if you do not already have a young cat, you will want two so she can play when you are tired! She is waiting for her person to come.

14. Bigfoot
Unlike his namesake, Bigfoot is very outgoing, and you would be unlikely to miss him. . . he would not let you!! Bigfoot just adores attention and fun. He wants to greet you, he wants to be by your side, he wants to play, accept a treat, or simply get some petting!! He is very vigorous and a busy boy, though of course cats do sleep a lot of the day, so he will be a cuddle buddy, too. Bigfoot has met quite a few cats recently in our community room, and we would not want to give the impression that there was zero friction. But he is doing well enough that no fur is flying and he is able to stay out with his many new best friends. Most cats do need a slow introduction! Bigfoot could be a solo companion or join a family. Apply to meet him--you are not obligated to adopt, but he likes to be met!!

Aurora, one of our beautiful calico kittens!! This group has been treated and cleared within our medical sector, so she is used to being handled. She is now getting used to being handled for fun and spoiled! Aurora is a gorgeous kitten with a ton of potential, and a home would help her open up. A kitten friend for that home would also help! Apply to meet Aurora and see if she could be your next royal asset!

17. Chatsworth
Chatsworth is a friendly, affectionate boy! When he greets you, you can see how his soul sparkles with love for his people. He likes to cuddle, and he likes to check on what you are doing and make sure you're okay and if he can be involved. Whatever you have going on, Chatsworth would be your companion and very best friend, honored to be chosen to spend his life with you. He promises to do everything he can to brighten your days.
Read more about Chatsworth
Chatsworth does test positive for FIV, which just means a lower immune system than average. He also has a regressive FeLV infection. This means the virus is in his body, but he is not showing any problems resulting from it. He is doing great! FeLV can shorten a cat's lifespan, though with regressive FeLV, a typical lifespan is possible. At the end of the day, we don't know how long anyone will live, but we do know how much love Chatsworth has to give, and how much it would mean to him to be accepted and adopted, to have a permanent family for the time he has. Because of the transmission risk with FeLV, his family should not include any other cats, unless they are also FeLV positive.
Many people might look at Chatsworth's profile and see a diagnosis. An end. But we have looked into Chatsworth's face, and we see a beginning. We see the present. Cats live in the moment, and with Chatsworth, so do we. . . with his love and sunny personality, we cannot help but return to the moment, listening to his purrs and happy meows! We believe someone is out there who would like to become Chatsworth's family. Could it be you?

18. Katherine
Katherine is an assertive young lady who knows her own mind. She likes to see other cats outside, but she does not want to personally meet them. . . and maybe she is wise to feel that way! Katherine was declawed on all four paws, and this often leads to behavioral issues, as cats like Katherine don't have a typical mild defense and must resort to biting if they really feel endangered. Because of this vulnerability, Katherine also does not want to be in a home with small children. We are a no-declaw group because we see how the practice leads to this type of harm and trauma, but we do not turn away cats who are already declawed if they need our help.
Read more about Katherine
It is not such a bad thing to know what you want in life, and to let others know your feelings if you are displeased. This is a quality we may praise in people but denigrate in cats. We believe there is a place in the world for a cat like Katherine, someone who simply speaks her mind. She has been through amputation, she has been through cohabitation with beings who took her at her disadvantage, and she has been through rehoming. She simply wants peace and acceptance! She has a world of love to give in return to the person who finally gives her a place to be herself. Could it be you?

19. Murphy
Meet a true "shadow-dweller" of the feline world—a cat whose substantial, sturdy build is entirely mismatched with his sweet, sensitive, and deeply playful soul.
The Look: Big Frame, Bigger Eyes: At first glance, Murphy commands attention with a large, solid body, heavy paws, and a broad chest. But any intimidating presence instantly vanishes the moment you look at his face. His expressive, round eyes function like a window to his thoughts.
Read more about Murphy
When something catches his attention, those eyes dilate into giant, dark saucers of pure curiosity. Whether they are tracking a sunbeam or watching you open a cabinet, his gaze communicates everything from intense focus to absolute adoration without making a sound.
Personality & Play Style: Despite having a big body, Murphy moves with a lighthearted, almost goofy energy when it's time to play. He isn’t aloof; he wants to be right in the middle of whatever you are doing.
The Curious Investigator: Every delivery box, open closet, or rustling paper bag requires a thorough inspection. Murphy approaches the world with an open, friendly inquisitiveness.
The Sassy Acrobat: Murphy loves interactive games—chasing feather wands, fetching favorite toys, or doing the classic "sideways crab walk" when he gets excited. He might also practice his mischievous ways, like batting a pen off a desk just to see it fall. Watching a large, substantial black cat leap into the air for a toy with total joy (and perhaps a little dramatic flair) is pure entertainment.
The Sweet Companion: When playtime ends, Murphy’s sweet nature takes over. He is the kind of cat that leans their heavy body against your leg, follows you from room to room just to be near, and uses those massive, melting eyes to gently ask for chin scratches.
The Perfect Balance: Murphy offers the best of both worlds—the robust, striking presence of a big-bodied feline with black gleaming fur, combined with the gentle, playfully mischievous heart of a lifelong kitten.

Adopting a cat in Allerton
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.
