Meet Okra – A Little Black Cat with a BIG Personality!
Well, bless her little heart! Meet Okra, a 4-month-old kitten dressed in her finest black coat with an adorable little white spot on her chest. This sweet girl is always ready to play and is sure to keep you entertained with her kitten antics!

Read more about Okra
This playful little girl gets along with other cats and children. We aren't sure how she feels about dogs just yet, so any introductions to canine family members should be done slowly and carefully.
At 4 months old, Okra is right in the middle of her kitten shenanigans stage! She's got toys to chase, adventures to explore, and plenty of mischief to get into. She just needs a family willing to give her all the love and attention a growing kitten deserves. ❤️
Okra didn't get to choose how her story started, but YOU could help decide how wonderfully it ends. Could you be the one to give this little parking-lot surprise her happily-ever-after?

6. Lucky
C2026-156.
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 Cutler
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.
