Once she’s feeling more settled, Eeyore enjoys playing with toys and showing off her playful kitten side. She’s not the loudest or boldest of her siblings: Cinder, Gracie and Ebony, but she has her own special charm and deserves a chance to grow in confidence.

15. Abra

Adult (3 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 28 mi from Fountainhead-Orchard Hills

Meow meet Abra! At just 3 years old, Abra has already had too many people let her down. This beautiful dilute calico came to the rescue after being trapped and discovered to have a microchip. Whatever her story before arriving here, a few things are clear: Abra has been through a lot of change in a very short time, the people she trusted failed her numerous times, and now she is left trying to figure out who she can trust. Beneath her uncertainty is a sweet girl who enjoys pets and wants love and the chance to finally feel safe. But trust doesn’t come easily to Abra. When she feels overwhelmed, she may become defensive, so she’ll need a patient adopter who understands that she can’t be rushed.

Read more about Abra

She needs time, gentle reassurance, and the freedom to build a bond at her own pace. Abra must be an only pet in an adult only home with no children. Most importantly, she needs someone able to give her the patience and stability she needs to settle in. Abra is only 3 years old, yet she’s already had to endure so much uncertainty. She deserves to know what it feels like to finally stop bracing for the next change, to feel safe enough to let her guard down, and to trust that the person beside her isn’t going anywhere. We can’t give Abra back the time she’s lost, but we can hope someone will give her the future she’s always deserved - a home where she is cherished, accepted, loved, and finally allowed to feel she belongs!

She is gentle, sweet, and has so much love to share. Patches came to the rescue through no fault of her own. Her beloved owner developed health issues and could no longer care for her.

Read more about Patches

This was a heartbreaking decision made out of necessity, not a lack of love. Sadly, sometimes circumstances change even when the love is still there, and Patches found herself needing a new place to call home. Thankfully, Patches is healthy and ready for her next chapter! She does need a special diet to support her urinary health, but otherwise, she is ready to fill someone’s days with affection, companionship, and plenty of reasons to smile. Patches has already known what it means to be loved, and now she needs someone to open their heart and home to her again. She isn’t asking for much - just a person who will welcome her affection, enjoy her sweet company, and let her love them as wholeheartedly as she clearly wants to.

Adopting a cat in Fountainhead-Orchard Hills

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.
