Hi, my name is Sally. I was rescued, got fully vetted, then was brought to KSC. I’m a friendly, curious girl and the caregivers tell me I’m beautiful.

Hi, my name is Matilda. I was trying to eat at a community colony but other cats chased me away. The feeder at the colony noticed and brought me to KSC who got me vetted. I’m a quiet girl who loves other cats but I’m not a lap kitty. I like to have my own space and keep my paws on the ground.

I think I would be fine with another cat but no dogs please. There was one in my former home but I was scared of him. I also would prefer a quieter home, too much commotion also scares me.

6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 31 mi from Prince Frederick



If waking up to snuggles and sweet, scratchy kitten kisses sounds like your idea of a perfect morning, then Able may be your guy!
Able has come a long way in his short life. He was born outside, but you’d never know it now — he has completely embraced the safe, cozy indoor life and has no intention of looking back! He absolutely loves playing with his foster brothers and sister, so his new home
must have another young, playful kitty
to keep him company.
Read more about Able
Able is a bundle of fun with plenty of energy to burn. Bring out the teaser toy or laser pointer and watch him go! He’s quite the little athlete and takes his playtime very seriously. Of course, all that hard work requires compensation… preferably in the form of treats.
When playtime is over, Able is happy to switch gears and show off his softer side. He is loving, affectionate, and always ready for some quality cuddle time with his people. He would do well in a home with cat-friendly dogs and older children who understand how to be gentle with a kitten.
With his playful personality, affectionate nature, and impressive snuggle skills, Able is ready to leave his foster home behind and become someone’s very special companion. Could you be his forever family?

Verna is every bit the tortie — and she proudly comes with the
tortitude

decides it’s time. Once she’s in the mood, though, she’ll stretch out, roll around, and happily demand all the belly rubs you’re willing to give.

Verna has no problem helping herself to her siblings’ meals, often attempting to finish their bowls before they even realize she’s moved in! She may share the house, but she firmly believes she owns every food bowl in it. She's sweet, sassy, playful and curious. She always wants to be part of the action, making her your perfect shadow!

19. Marcella
6 Months · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 31 mi from Prince Frederick





Don’t let the fact that Marcella was the runt fool you — she may be the smallest, but she has the
biggest personality and an even bigger heart
. She’s a professional snuggler who wants to be picked up, loved on, and as close to you as possible. Getting to sleep, however, requires surviving a few trips across your face first.
She kneads, licks your face, and loves to suckle on a shirt or blanket when she’s feeling cozy and secure. Equal parts silly, mischievous, playful, and affectionate, Marcella marches to the beat of her own drum — and she wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️

Adopting a cat in Prince Frederick
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.
