Read more about Phoenix

Phoenix, is a petite, fluffy gray tabby with a heart as sweet as her soft fur! This lovely 7–9-year-old girl is a laid-back, timid soul who takes her time warming up to new people, but once she chooses you, it’s something special. Phoenix enjoys spending much of her day snoozing in a cozy hiding spot and comes out to play when the house gets quiet at night. She’s happy to entertain herself with anything small enough to catch her paws, but one of her favorite things is curling up on the bed and keeping your feet warm with her cuddles. Phoenix prefers affection on her own terms, so you may need to seek her out for some love until she feels comfortable enough to come asking for pets herself. She currently lives with another cat, two small dogs, and a toddler, whom she mostly ignores. Because she’s sensitive to loud noises and enjoys a peaceful environment, Phoenix would likely thrive in a quieter home where she can relax, settle in at her own pace, and blossom into the affectionate companion she’s meant to be. If you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, Phoenix may just decide you’re her person!

7. Moose

Young · Male · Tuxedo · 74 mi from Bowling Green

Meet Moose!
Moose is not your average house cat — he's a large gray tuxedo gentleman in a crisp white bib and mittens, and he knows he looks good.
This young adult male is big, soft, and wonderfully sturdy. He loves to be near his people, whether that's supervising from the couch, leaning in for chin scratches, or flopping over to show off that handsome tuxedo belly. He's playful in that goofy young-adult way — feather wands, crinkle balls, and batting toys around — but he also has a calm, affectionate side and is happy to just loaf next to you.
Moose is FIV+. What does that mean? It just means he carries the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

Read more about Moose

FIV+ cats can and do live long, happy, completely normal lives indoors. It can't be transmitted to people or dogs, and it spreads only through deep bite wounds between cats. Moose can live safely with other cats — especially other mellow cats — and many FIV+ and FIV- cats live together happily. He just needs to stay indoors, eat well, and get regular vet checkups like any cat.
If you're looking for a big, sweet, dapper companion with a lot of love to give, Moose is your guy. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region. Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.

9. Scrubbing Bubbles

Young · Female · Siamese / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 66 mi from Bowling Green

Scrubbing Bubbles works a little differently — she doesn’t rush in and tackle everything at once, she gets to work quietly, steadily, and before you know it the whole situation is transformed and you’re not entirely sure how it happened. This gorgeous flame point Siamese mix arrived a little uncertain about the world, and she takes her time deciding that new people are safe, which they are, and that she is loved, which she is. Once she gets there she is absolutely worth every patient moment. And here’s the thing about Scrubbing Bubbles — she’s still becoming herself. Those flame point ears and that tail are just warming up, and when the weather turns and the color comes in she is going to be breathtaking.

Boo is not hiding anymore, and honestly the neighborhood’s loss is your gain. This busy, bright-eyed little girl with the sweetest eyes and the cutest nose has fully emerged from wherever she was keeping herself and has decided that life is better out in the open, preferably near her brother, preferably near you, and preferably in the middle of whatever is happening right now. She loves being held, she loves company, and she will issue a small but pointed meow when she feels the situation has gone on too long without her in it, which is fair and reasonable and very Boo. She is social, she is sweet, she is always ready for the next adventure — and if that adventure leads back to Radley, even better.

Why adopt an adult cat in Bowling Green

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
