5. Pie
Kitten · Female · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed · 47 mi from Fort Wayne




Meet Pie! She’s a beautiful half grown longhaired kitten with a thick black and white coat, and she’s every bit as sweet as her name.Pie was found in the woods by a deer hunter, nowhere near any houses. When he stepped out of his truck, she came running straight to him and climbed right up to his neck. She was starving and filthy. At intake she was at least 5 months old but weighed only 2 lbs 12 oz, when she should be around 5 lbs or more. Her fluffy coat hides it, but when you pet her, all you feel is bones.Our vet found that she broke her back foot at some point when she was younger. It has mostly healed, so there isn’t much to be done, and she will probably always have a limp.

Otherwise he said she looks OK and just needs to be fed slowly to regain her weight. Her ears are perfectly clean and she had no fleas. Her white fur was very dirty from trying to survive on her own, but we suspect she lived indoors at one time. She is not microchipped, and no one came forward looking for her.Pie is VERY people oriented and friendly. She was brave enough to ask for help, and now she just wants to be near her people. She’s sure to be a lap cat, and she deserves a home where she can finally relax, fill out, and be loved. Her limp doesn’t seem to slow her down.If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.

6. Cider
Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed · 47 mi from Fort Wayne




Meet Cider, a kitten with a purr that's way louder than it has any right to be.Cider was found as a sick, tiny stray. A rough case of ringworm cost him his long hair, which is why he looks like a shorthair in his pictures. He's fully cleared now, and the hair is slowly growing back. Whether he ends up fully fluffy again, only time will tell, but he's working on it.He's playful and always looking for attention. He's not a big cuddle bug yet, since he couldn't be held much while he was dealing with the ringworm. Our guess is that will change, because he keeps asking for the attention.If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.

7. Sage
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 29 mi from Fort Wayne




Hi! My name is Sage and I am almost 3 months old. I am a shy, little kitten that will need a patient, loving home to help me grow out of my shell. I was raised in a foster home with my mom and siblings since I was about three weeks old, but I am still a pretty quiet kitten. Growing up in a foster home helped me get used to living inside a home, and I didn't have to sit in a shelter kennel while I was growing up. I do well with other cats and kittens, and I would do good in a home with children that can respect me! Being held is a little scary at first but then I can get comfortable and will purr.

18. Noah
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 47 mi from Fort Wayne




Noah earned his name the day he was found at the edge of a ditch after a flood, nearly drowned and severely hypothermic. Getting him warm again was slow, and we almost lost him a couple of times. He crashed and went back to the vet more than once, but he finally turned the corner and is now a normal, healthy kitten.He seems to have decided he's owed some comfort. Noah is laid back, sweet, and happiest when he's being held close. He's always seeking attention, he's litter box trained, and he melts into belly rubs. He's been gentle and relaxed the whole way through, which is impressive for a kitten who had every reason not to be.He's currently living with Cider and they get along great, so he's a good fit for a home with other cats.

He's also been around kids and did fine. As far as we know he hasn't met any dogs.

Playful • Fearless • Full of PersonalityHudson’s story started outside an apartment complex, where this skinny, struggling little survivor kept wandering into the parking lot looking for help.

Thankfully, a few kind people did, and that’s how Hudson finally made it to safety.With good food, care, and a whole lot of love, Hudson has transformed into a bright‑eyed, energetic, wildly entertaining kitten. He loves to play more than anything, and while he enjoys being held, he’d usually rather be off on his next adventure.

They play, wrestle, and nap like they’ve been together forever.He’s ready for a home that appreciates a brave, silly, high‑energy kitten with a huge personality and a survivor’s heart.

You take them home today, and the adoption is finalized after their spay/neuter surgery.Our rescue requires kittens to be adopted in pairs or into a home that already has a young, friendly cat. Kittens raised alone often struggle with social and behavioral development, while growing up with another cat helps them learn boundaries, burn energy, and become well‑adjusted adults.The adoption fee is $75 for a single cat/kitten and $125 for a pair.If you’re ready to bring home a pair of playful kittens—or add one to your friendly resident cat—we’d love to help you find the right match.Apply today at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to start your foster‑to‑adopt journey! Just a quick note—she's currently in a foster home, not at the shelter, so she won't be available for walk-in visits. If you'd like to meet her, we'll need to schedule a meet and greet in advance. Let us know what days work best for you, and we’ll be happy to coordinate!If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application. Completing a questionnaire on any other website does not submit an application to our rescue, you must complete one on our website. If you have any questions, please email us at adopt@MidwestPetRefuge.com

Adopting a kitten in Fort Wayne
Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.
Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
