1. Amy
Amy is very friendly. So friendly, she is determined to sleep in the bed with her face close to her person's face. During the day, she is happy to be out and about, playing, romping with her friends, and engaging with her people. She has a very nice, friendly personality and she’s super cute, which she knows. Amy should do well in most households. Being a kitten, she needs a person home most of the time or another kitten/pet to play with and keep her company. She hasn’t been around dogs or kids but should be fine with time to adjust and kind treatment from his new friends.

3. Mazie
Hello, my name is Mazie. I have a beautiful face that often looks concerned, with expressive eyes. My fur is as soft as mink, with a pattern and coloring that's unique to me. I'm sweet and gentle with lots of curiosity but I am always ready to help out or supervise. I love playing with balls, plastic springs, interactive toys I can push and a scratching post. I also enjoy snuggling up for a cuddle or snooze with my human/s, turning on my loud purr. I find the best spot to greet you and will reach up to you for pets or hugs.
I got along with the small dog and resident cats in my foster home. My sister (Daisy) and I got our names from Daisy-Head Mazie a story by Dr.

4. Radish
Radish and her sister Turnip are two adorable kittens that came to us from a tough situation--a hoarding house. We don't know their full history, but as a result they are shy and can take some time to warm to new people and places. Once they come out of their shell, it's a different story! These kitties love to play, play, play. Then sleep all day! They are very affectionate once they settle in. In fact, Turnip is a "lap cat in training." Little Radish loves to gaze out the window and chase flies. Both will help you finish your breakfast, if allowed. While they don't need a home together, they would benefit from another kitty friend to bond with.

If you've got the time and love, Radish and Turnip might be your kitties! They have been around dogs but aren't too sure of them yet. With some time, they would likely be fine with respectful dogs.

Read more about Oscar and Alice
These adorable siblings were rescued together from a local college campus after curious little Alice found herself in a bit of a pickle—and loyal Oscar was right there by her side. Since their undergrad escapades, these two have graduated to life as affectionate, playful companions who love nothing more than snuggling, romping, and being together. Alice is a confident, curious little girl with plenty of personality. She plays hard, explores everything, and then happily sprawls out for a serious cat nap. Oscar is a loyal, loving little guy and an absolute glutton for attention. He’s happiest when he’s getting pets, cuddles, and plenty of love from his people. Together, they’re a wonderful pair: content to entertain each other but equally happy to welcome new friends of the human, feline, and canine variety. They’re looking for a home together where they can continue their adventures, snuggle up, and become cherished members of their new family. Alice and Oscar are ready to graduate to their forever home—together!

Killian and Karlos are brother kitties who will live their best lives together in their perfect new home, and so must be adopted together.
Kilian and Karlos have come a long way since they came into their foster home after being trapped during a horrible heatwave. While they still hiss at their foster parents once in a while, they can be picked up and carried around for short periods.
Kilian and Karlos really wake up at night and show their playful side. They love toys that hang down so they can bat at them. They are also fascinated by the ball track tower and how they can get the different balls to spin around.

9. Miss Kitty
We'd like to introduce Miss Kitty who is looking for a loving home! She has beautiful eyes and a super pretty tricolor/tabby coat. Her chin, neck, and tummy are white and there is evidence of her "calico-ness" in the soft cocoa color she sports.
As we understand it, Miss Kitty (her name at that time may have been Heinz 57) had been an only cat whose person had passed. She initially was rehomed with a relative who had three small children. After it didn't work out there, she was relinquished to the shelter.
Read more about Miss Kitty
Miss Kitty is very friendly and loves attention, but for short periods of time. She is not a lap cat, but often likes to be nearby. She is curious and slowly exploring her foster home. Miss Kitty is not afraid of the resident small dog but does give him a wide berth. She will hiss if he tries to approach her.
Miss Kitty has a good appetite for her salmon/seafood pate and dry food. She uses her litter box well and likes to play with toys, stringed balls, etc. Considering her history, she may need some time to adjust. She's skittish initially, then becomes more confident. We believe Miss Kitty will be a wonderful companion for a someone who is seeking a sweet kitty friend.
Miss Kitty was born approximately August 4, 2017, and her adoption fee is $105, or adopt two and the second is one-half price. She is spayed, up-to-date on shots and deworming, has a microchip, and tested negative for feline leukemia virus.

10. Star 2
Star is a lovely gray cat with some faint tabby markings. She came to us after being relinquished by her owner. Her owner stated he was not around much at home and she needed more socialization. She is a quiet girl, but starting to play and meow more for attention. She loves to sleep in a scratching post round cubby. She can be petted and held. She should get along fine with other cats that are not aggressive or dominate towards her.
Star was born approximately April 13, 2025, and her adoption fee is $105, or adopt two and the second is one-half price. She is spayed, up-to-date on shots and deworming, has a microchip, and tested negative for feline leukemia virus.

11. Rainbow and Noah
Rainbow and Noah are foster friends who want to be adopted together.
Rainbow is a timid and bashful kitty who prefers the quiet corners of the world over center stage. With a beautiful tortie coat she captures hearts with a single glance. Though shy and reserved, this charming cat has an uncanny ability to make even the most cautious humans feel a warm connection. When she opens up she loves to romp around and play with toys and Noah.
Despite her reserved nature, once you earn her trust, you'll discover a very affectionate companion who loves nothing more than receiving endless chin scratches. Rainbow is looking for patient home that will provide time and understanding so she can continue to open up.
Read more about Rainbow and Noah
Noah is a spunky little guy! He loves to cause commotion and romp around the house with his kitty friends. His favorite toy is a wand. He adores getting pets and will purr purr purr! He would love to find the perfect family to love and play with him! You may notice that one of his eyes is a little bit different. His doctor has diagnosed him with eyelid agenesis which essentially means one of his eyes is slightly underdeveloped. He will not need surgery, but it’s just a good thing to know because sometimes his eye gets goopy which we treat with eye drops.
Note: Noah is food obsessed and will eat his food and Rainbow's until it makes him sick so we do not recommend free feeding him.
These kitties should get along with kids, other cats, and cat-friendly dogs given proper introductions.
Rainbow and Noah were born approximately September 3, 2026, and August 30, 2026, respectively. Their combined adoption fee is $250. They are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots and deworming, have microchips, and tested negative for feline leukemia virus.

12. Wolfey and Spice
Wolfey andSpice are brother/sister kitties who are bonded to each other and must be adopted together.
Wolfey is the best, most friendliest kitty ever! He is not your typical cat, as he follows you around the house and loves belly-rubs (he copies off of his foster dog siblings!) He has beautiful markings, ear tufts and is super playful. He is also very fond of his sister, Spice.
What makes Spice so "spicey" is that she has a bobtail, ear tufts and a bit of an attitude! She is shy at first, quiet but loving. Her favorite toys are balls, yarn and feathers.
These kitties are available by appointment only or a home visit.

14. Austin and Tori
Austin and Tori are brother and sister kitties that want to be adopted together. These two kittens are the sweetest. If you love the sound of purring you will have it with these two. Austin has a very loud purr and Tori has a soft purr and both will come up and purr right in your ear. They are a delight to watch when they are wrestling and playing chase. After they have worn themselves out they are ready to take a nice deserved nap on your lap. They do not show well at the adoption center. To them it is a very scary place. Do not let that stop you from adopting them. They will just need a few days to settle into your home and you will see that they are a joy.

25. Sequoia
Please visit our website at https://tarasdream.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application for this pet and for more info about our cats.
Sequoia may be very timid at first and may take a little time to warm up to new people. Once she does she will start exploring the house and making herself at home. She enjoys pets and sometimes wags her tail like a puppy. She gets along well with other cats and non aggressive dogs. Once her playful side comes out she will be having the zoomies and playing with toys. Wand toys and stuffed mice are her favorite. She has a very laid back personality and is a great little girl

Adopting a cat in Kansas City
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.
