1. Marleigh
Young (4 months 22 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 40 mi from Baton Rouge



Marleigh female 15 weeks
This girl needs a special home. She came in having severe seizures that were treated due to an underlined condition. She is healthy and ready to go, no more seizures, but there was a little brain damage from them so she’s just a bit slow. She acts like a normal cat, but very, very mild temperament and has no issues eating drinking using the litter box. She just doesn’t play and have the hyper activity that are normal kitten wood. I actually think she has some peripheral vision loss.
She has been spayed, combo tested for feline leukemia/feline aids, up to date on vaccinations, wormed and flea treated.

5. Rollie
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 77 mi from Baton Rouge




Rollie is an incredibly sweet, gentle kitten with a calm, easygoing personality. He may be a little timid when meeting someone new, but he warms up quickly and is soon flopping onto his back, purring, and happily soaking up attention. He's affectionate, easy to handle, and has such a relaxed, loving temperament. Rollie has met a variety of people and has always been gentle, never hissy, aggressive, or fearful. He has had perfect litter box habits from day one, never having a single accident. He's playful without being destructive and has been an absolute joy to foster. With his calm, adaptable personality, Rollie would make a wonderful companion in a variety of homes, including families with children. I also think he'd do well either as the only pet or with another friendly cat or dog.

Bubba! Adorable, spunky, lovable little 3 month old tabby boy who will be ready for adoption soon! He has been in a foster home since about 5 weeks of age, with his litter-mates, and is thriving.

16. Chicken
Adult (2 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Siamese (short coat) · 98 mi from Baton Rouge


Meet Chicken: A Tender Heart Learning to Trust
Chicken is a beautiful young adult Siamese mix who has a little confession to make: she really is a chicken. She isn’t the bravest girl in the room, but considering everything she’s been through, we think she has earned the right to take life at her own pace.
Chicken came to us very pregnant and in desperate need of help. She required an emergency C-section, and heartbreakingly, none of her babies survived. But Chicken did. And during her recovery, something important began to happen. She learned that human hands can be gentle, voices can be kind, and people can be trusted.
Read more about Chicken
Her wonderful fosters have patiently helped her come a long way. Chicken is now a laid-back, sweet girl who becomes affectionate once you earn her trust. She still needs time to feel safe, so she’s looking for a quiet, patient home with someone willing to let the relationship unfold on Chicken Time. She also seems to feel more comfortable with women than men.
Busy adoption events would simply be too overwhelming for this shy lady, so Chicken is available by private meet-and-greet instead. Contact Cenla Cat Project if you’d like the chance to meet her.
Chicken may not march right up and choose you in five minutes. But when a cautious little cat who has every reason to be wary finally decides you are safe, that trust is something pretty special. ❤️

19. Astrea
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 77 mi from Baton Rouge


Hi. I’m Astrea. My name means “star maiden” or “starry one.” In Greek mythology, Astrea was the goddess of innocence, justice, and hope—the last immortal to leave Earth, with the promise that one day she’d return. No pressure, right?I’m just a little white cat trying to live up to the name.I didn’t exactly get the fairy tale beginning. Life threw a few curveballs my way, so I take my time deciding who’s worthy of my trust. But once you earn it? Oh, you’re done for. I’ll follow you around, tell you all about my day, supervise every single thing you do, and happily accept all the love you’re willing to give.
Read more about Astrea
(And then ask for more.)I’m a little clumsy. Sometimes I miss the jump. Sometimes I dramatically fall off the couch like gravity personally offended me. We don’t need to discuss it.I’m also very vocal. If you enjoy peaceful silence… well… that’s adorable. I’ll be providing running commentary on breakfast, dinner, birds outside the window, the suspicious dust bunny under the couch, and why you absolutely should stop what you’re doing to pet me immediately.I’m sweet enough to melt your heart, but I do come with a dash of sass. I have opinions, and I believe they should be heard. Frequently.So if you’re looking for a perfect cat, keep scrolling.But if you’re looking for a resilient little star who will make you laugh every day, fill your home with chatter, and love you with her whole heart once she knows she’s safe…I think the stars may have brought us together.

Kitten (5 months 1 day) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 98 mi from Baton Rouge


MEET BAUTISTA: HE’S WATCHING YOU.
Going to the kitchen? Bautista noticed.
Opening a cabinet? Bautista would like to know why.
Moving something across the room? Suspicious.
Bautista is a handsome grey tabby kitten who believes nothing should happen in his home without proper feline supervision. He’s a little timid, so he prefers to conduct his investigations from a safe distance until he decides everything checks out.
Once he settles in, though, the real Bautista starts appearing.
And that boy has ENERGY.
Toys must be chased. Towers must be climbed. Rooms must be explored. Sunny spots must be occupied immediately. ☀️

Then bedtime arrives and Officer Bautista clocks out.
That’s when this cautious little investigator turns into a super-sweet snuggle bug. Curl up with him and you’ll be rewarded with soft, contented purrs that make it very clear you have finally passed his background check. ❤️

Some kittens burst into a room demanding attention. Pawtricia is the one who quietly steals your heart.
This gorgeous caliby girl is a gentle soul who takes a little time to get to know new people. Once she feels safe, her playful and curious side begins to shine. A toy skittering across the floor, a sunny window to watch the world, or a cozy hideaway for an afternoon nap are all part of her recipe for happiness.

Meet Clawdia!
Clawdia couldn't be any cuter if she tried... and believe us, she has absolutely no intention of trying. She already knows she's adorable.
This little caliby girl is a delightful blend of sugar, spice, and just enough kitten chaos to keep life interesting. One minute she's pouncing on a toy mouse with the determination of a mighty huntress. The next she's curled up in your lap, purring so loudly you'll wonder if there's a tiny motor hidden inside her.
Read more about Clawdia
Curious? Absolutely. Playful? Without question. Sweet? Beyond words. Clawdia greets every day as if it's a brand-new adventure waiting to happen. Feather wands, crinkle balls, cardboard boxes, your shoelaces... everything deserves a proper inspection.
When she's finished conquering the living room, she's more than happy to collect her payment in cuddles, chin scratches, and a cozy nap beside her favorite human.
If your home could use a little extra laughter, a lot of love, and a tiny caliby shadow following you from room to room, Clawdia is ready to report for duty.

MEET BANANA NUT — SWEET WITH A DASH OF INDEPENDENCE!
Banana Nut is a beautiful medium-haired tabby kitten who has a very important announcement:
She does not require constant supervision.
This independent little lady is perfectly happy entertaining herself. She’s very active, loves her toys, and considers treats one of mankind’s greatest inventions.
Attention? She tolerates it.
Cuddles? We’re negotiating.
Treats? You may proceed immediately.
Read more about Banana Nut
But Banana Nut has been letting her softer side peek through. She’s recently started joining the crew on the bed at night, which is a pretty big deal for a girl who likes to make her own decisions. Give her time, patience, and the freedom to come to you on her terms, and you may just find yourself with a quiet little bedtime companion.
Banana Nut would be a great match for someone who loves the company of a cat but doesn’t need a kitty attached to them every second of the day. She has things to do, toys to conquer, treats to collect, and naps to schedule.
Independent. Playful. Beautiful. And just a little bit nutty.
That’s our Banana Nut.

MEET BLUEBERRY — OUR WAFFLE WITH EXTRA SASS!
Sweet? Yes.
Beautiful? Absolutely.
Does Blueberry believe everything should happen according to Blueberry’s Rules? You bet.
Blueberry is a gorgeous long-haired black kitten with the most adorable little tufts of hair behind her ears. They give her just the right amount of fancy for a kitten who already considers herself royalty.
This sassy little princess enjoys attention, but on her terms, please. She can take some time to trust new people, and her adopter will need to be patient while she decides they're worthy of joining her royal court.
Read more about Blueberry
Once she's comfortable, you'll discover a very playful and curious kitten who wants to investigate her kingdom, conquer her toys, and keep tabs on everything happening around her.
Blueberry is independent, opinionated, and definitely a bit of a diva. For that reason, she may not be the best choice for a first-time cat owner. She needs someone who understands that earning a cat's trust can take time and who won't rush her when she asks for space.
Don't expect Blueberry to worship you.
That's your job.
Give this fluffy little princess patience, respect, plenty of toys, and the occasional treat, and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that when Blueberry chooses to give you her affection, you earned it.
Blueberry: fluffy, fabulous, slightly bossy, and served with extra sass.

Kitten (4 months 16 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 98 mi from Baton Rouge


MEET CHOCOLATE CHIP — EXTRA SWEET WITH A FEW SPECIAL INGREDIENTS!
Every batch needs a Chocolate Chip, and ours happens to be a beautiful medium-haired black kitten with a whole lot of love packed into one fluffy little package.
Chocolate Chip is a special-needs kitten. She is deaf and has mild cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), so sometimes navigating the world takes a little extra thought. She isn't always aware of potential hazards, and occasionally her internal GPS seems to announce, “Recalculating…”
But Chocolate Chip doesn't let any of that interfere with the important business of being a kitten.
Read more about Chocolate Chip
She's very playful, loves being near her people, and is a certified shadow kitty. If you're moving, there's a good chance Chocolate Chip is somewhere near your feet. If you're sitting, she'll find you. If she's nowhere to be found, check the nearest cozy sleeping spot.
And when Chocolate Chip sleeps, she SLEEPS. Because she's deaf, calling her for treats isn't going to work. This girl sometimes has to be physically awakened to discover she's been missing snack time!
Chocolate Chip is one big serving of clingy cat to love.
Because she can't hear and sometimes gets directionally challenged, she would benefit from having another friendly kitty or a gentle small dog as a companion. A furry buddy can help give her cues about what's happening around her while also providing a built-in playmate.
Chocolate Chip may need a home willing to make a few accommodations to keep her safe, but in return you get a playful, devoted little shadow who plans to stick to you closer than syrup on a waffle.
Chocolate Chip: a little wobbly, completely lovable, and made with extra sweetness.

Meet Spot
What do you name a kitten with one little tabby patch sitting in a sea of white on his chest?
Spot.
Sometimes the perfect name is staring you right in the face.
This handsome grey tabby and white boy is everything people love about kittens wrapped up in one adorable package. Curious? Absolutely. Spot believes every closet should be inspected, every cabinet deserves investigation, and every space under the furniture might contain a grand adventure.
His foster reports that Spot has exactly two speeds:
Nap and Zoom.
One moment he's sound asleep. The next he's racing through the house as if he's late for an important kitten meeting.
Read more about Spot
When it's time to recharge, Spot has a favorite sleeping spot. Your lap. In fact, he's fairly certain laps were invented specifically for him. He expects cuddles on demand and isn't shy about collecting all the affection he can get.
Spot is child and cat friendly and has all the qualities you're looking for in a new family member. He's loving, playful, affectionate, entertaining, and impossibly adorable. Whether he's exploring the house, chasing toys, or curled up in your lap, Spot has a knack for making every day a little brighter.
If you're looking for a kitten who can keep you laughing, keep you company, and keep your lap warm, Spot is ready to earn his place in your home.

30. Sponge Bob
Kitten (4 months 23 days) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 98 mi from Baton Rouge



Meet Sponge Bob
Some kittens dream of climbing mountains.
Some dream of catching the red dot.
Sponge Bob dreams of being carried everywhere like the tiny prince he clearly believes he is.
This adorable orange tabby has reached the conclusion that walking is highly overrated. Why should his feet touch the ground when perfectly capable humans are available to chauffeur him from place to place? In Sponge Bob's world, paws are for playtime and mealtime. Everything else should involve cuddles.
Read more about Sponge Bob
Sponge Bob absolutely adores being held, petted, and told how handsome and sweet he is. Fortunately, he's all three, so you'll never run out of compliments. He comes pre-spoiled and fully expects his future family to continue maintaining the high standard of service to which he has become accustomed.
Child and cat friendly, Sponge Bob loves treats, toys, and spending time with his people. But if given a choice between a toy mouse and a warm lap, he'll happily choose the lap. For Bob, life is all about affection, attention, and as many snuggles as possible.
If you're looking for a kitten who wants to be your constant companion, professional cuddle consultant, and part-time shoulder ornament, Sponge Bob is ready to move in.
Indoor only. Declawing prohibited by contract. Must be at least 21 to adopt.
Warning: Prolonged exposure to Sponge Bob may result in carrying a kitten from room to room and loving every minute of it.

Adopting a cat in Baton Rouge
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.
