Hi, my name is Ruffle a

I might take a little while to get used to you, but when I do I will want to sit on your lap. Oh...I do like playing with any other cats, so if you have a feline buddy for me to hang out with, that would be a wonderful bonus!

Meet Lucky!

Lucky may only weigh around 3 pounds, 3 ounces, but don't let her tiny size fool you—this little girl has enough personality packed into that small body to fill an entire house!

Lucky is a spayed female DSH with a silly personality and a serious love for attention. She loves to play, entertain herself (and everyone watching), and generally act like the tiny comedian she was born to be. One minute she's zooming around like she has somewhere very important to be, and the next she's demanding attention because clearly, you've spent enough time focusing on literally anything else.

Read more about Lucky

She gets along well with other cats, is good with children, and is currently unsure about dogs—mostly because she's still deciding whether they're friends, enemies, or just very strange-looking oversized cats.

Lucky is looking for a family who appreciates a little bit of chaos, a whole lot of playtime, and a tiny girl with a HUGE personality. If you're ready to add some laughs, love, and kitten shenanigans to your life, come meet Lucky!

After all, they don't call her Lucky for nothing!

MEET LUCKY!

Lucky may only weigh around 3 pounds, but don't let her tiny size fool you—she has approximately 47 pounds of energy and absolutely no intention of slowing down.

This adorable brown tabby Domestic Shorthair kitten is looking for a forever home soon, preferably one with plenty of toys, room to play, and humans willing to accept that she will probably be in charge.

Lucky's hobbies include:

Playing with absolutely everything
Zooming around like she pays the rent
Being ridiculously adorable
Hanging out with other cats
Eventually running out of energy... probably

She does well with other cats, but her opinion on dogs is currently listed as: "No comment at this time."

Lucky will be available for adoption soon, so keep an eye out for updates! This tiny tabby is ready to find a family to entertain, supervise, and completely take over.

Please share and help Lucky find her future servants—I mean, forever family! ❤️

Adopting a cat in Clinton 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.
