3. Winston
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 82 mi from Fall River


Meet Your New Best Friend!
Looking for a low-maintenance companion who appreciates the finer things in life—like a long nap on the couch? That's me! I am definitely not a high-energy feline. Since I came from the streets, l am much more of a relaxed couch potato, and I'm completely proud of it. I love a quiet routine, gazing out the window at the world, or settling in for some Cat TV to watch and listen to the wildlife.
When it comes to affection, I prefer petting on my own terms. Too much petting can overstimulate me, so I like to be the one to dictate when it's time for physical love. But just so you know, my two absolute favorite spots to be pet and scratched are on top of my head and right under my chin!
I'm independent but very communicative. When it's mealtime or I'm in the mood for a quick game, I'll come find you. If you happen to be distracted when I really need your attention, l might give you a gentle, polite nibble on your hand or arm. But don't worry—| always follow it up with immediate licks to remind you that I mean no harm! It's just my quirky way of sending a text message. When we do play, my absolute favorites are chasing things on a string and hiding in a cat tunnel to swat at dangling toys.
Bedtime is when I spend the most time with you and when I start to PURR. I have a routine every night: first, I'll get to work happily making biscuits on the blankets. Then, I absolutely love having my head and under my chin scratched while we wind down. Once I've had my fill, I'll contentedly plop myself down at the foot of the bed to sleep through the night with you.
If you're looking for a sweet, predictable, and independent companion to share your peaceful home, I'm ready to meet you!

4. Tilly
Adult (2 years 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 81 mi from Fall River




Meet Tilly, a sweetheart who is ready to find a lap—and a family—to call her own! This affectionate girl loves being petted, climbs into laps, and makes it clear that snuggle time is high on her wish list. She’s also discovering the fun of toys, showing off her playful side between cuddle sessions.
Tilly would be happiest as your one and only pet, with all that love to herself. She can coexist with other cats, though she prefers her own space. When she met a dog, she chose to keep her distance. A home with another respectful pet could be a possibility with thoughtful introductions. She has been fine with the children in her foster home.

5. Tinker
Adult (6 years 3 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 83 mi from Fall River




Meet Tinker!
A sweet and shy six-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Franklin Square, NY, whose gentle personality comes wrapped in a striking white coat decorated with handsome gray patches.
At around 22 pounds, Tinker is a wonderfully big boy with a tender heart! He can be timid when first getting comfortable, but patience gives this affectionate fellow the chance to show just how loving he can be. Once Tinker feels secure, he enjoys affection, being picked up, and spending time with the people he trusts. Show him love, and he has a charming way of returning it right back!
Read more about Tinker
Tinker also has a playful side waiting to emerge. He enjoys a variety of interactive cat toys, including favorites from brands such as Frisco and Catstages. He has amusing little habits that add personality to his days, and his vocal nature means his family can expect the occasional feline commentary, too! Watching this initially shy boy relax, play, and share his affectionate side can make everyday moments feel especially rewarding.
This indoor gentleman currently lives alongside other cats. Tinker may be timid around feline companions at first, but he can become playful and tolerant once he has time to settle in. He is suitable for a family with calm, respectful older children who can give him the gentle interactions he appreciates. Because Tinker has reacted to dogs, he needs a loving home without canine companions.
Tinker is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health. His new family should be committed to keeping him safely indoors, giving him time to adjust at his own pace, and treating him as a cherished member of the family.
One companion is already especially close to Tinker’s heart: his brother, Kittycat. These brothers have been together their entire lives and Tinker would love to be adopted with Kittycat if possible.
Could this gentle, playful boy be the feline friendship your family is ready to welcome? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet Tinker!

Meet Kittycat!
A loving six-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Franklin Square, NY, whose affectionate personality comes wrapped in a handsome gray and tan tabby coat with crisp white accents.
At around 18 pounds, Kittycat is a big boy with an equally big capacity for affection! Friendly with familiar faces and newcomers alike, he is happiest when love is part of the daily routine. He enjoys being picked up, likes to chat with his people, and has a wonderfully simple approach to relationships: show him love, and he will happily show it right back! That sweet give-and-take is one of his most endearing qualities.

He has some amusing little habits of his own, too, giving his future family plenty of opportunities to discover the funny quirks behind that handsome tabby face. Whether he is playing, offering commentary in his vocal way, or settling in for affection, Kittycat brings a warm and engaging presence to everyday life!
This indoor gentleman currently lives alongside other cats and may be playful or simply tolerant with feline companions.

Because Kittycat has reacted to dogs, he needs a loving home without canine companions.
Kittycat is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health. His new family should be committed to keeping him safely indoors and treating him as a cherished member of the family.
There is one especially important feline in Kittycat’s world: his brother, Tinker. The two brothers have been together their entire lives and he would love the opportunity to be adopted with Tinker if possible!

7. Cricket and Daphne
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 83 mi from Fall River










Watch Cricket and Daphne's video
Meet Cricket and Daphne!
Two bonded six-month-old Domestic Short Hair kittens currently in Vancouver, WA, whose gentle hearts, playful spirits, and serious enthusiasm for lap time make them an especially lovable pair.
Read more about Cricket and Daphne
Cricket, a handsome gray and tan tabby boy, is the resident belly-rub enthusiast! Once he feels comfortable, he wants nothing more than to settle onto a lap, face forward for television time, expose his tummy, and collect as much affection as possible. Belly rubs, neck scratches, sweet conversation, and his favorite pink toy mouse are among his greatest pleasures! When he cannot find his person or feels attention is overdue, Cricket even produces an adorable little “dissatisfied grunt” to summon assistance.
Daphne, a beautiful gray tabby and white girl, has her own charming communication system. She makes a tiny, high-pitched peep when she cannot find her person or would like more attention. She is also developing quite a passion for burrowing beneath blankets and shirts, because apparently ordinary snuggling simply is not close enough! Jingly balls, wand toys, cozy hidey holes, and lap time keep this affectionate girl very happy.
Both kittens are sensitive and shy at first, but their playful sides emerge as they become comfortable. They romp with other cats and can be wonderfully rambunctious together! Neither particularly enjoys being picked up, so a family who lets affection happen on their terms will help them continue building confidence.
Most importantly, Cricket and Daphne have a special bond. Their companionship helps these sensitive kittens feel secure, and they need to be adopted together so they can continue experiencing new adventures side by side.
They are friendly with other cats and suitable for calm, respectful older children. Both are shy around dogs and prefer keeping their distance. They need an indoor-only, peaceful, patient home with plenty of affection, play, companionship, and time to adjust.
Cricket is neutered, and Daphne’s spay is being scheduled. Both are up to date on vaccinations and have no known health concerns. Is there room on your lap for two sweet little shadows who plan to stay close? To learn more about adopting Cricket and Daphne together, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

8. Dennis
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 83 mi from Fall River






Meet Dennis!
A snuggly six-month-old Domestic Short Hair kitten currently in Vancouver, WA, whose dashing tuxedo coat comes wrapped around a gentle, playful boy with an impressive talent for turning eye contact into cuddle requests.
Dennis may be a little timid while getting comfortable, but patience and gentleness reveal his wonderfully affectionate personality. Once he knows his people, this love bug wants to be close! When Dennis is looking for attention, he has an especially charming routine: he reaches out, gives a tiny squeak, and fixes you with an intense gaze that makes his message wonderfully clear. Hug me, please!
Read more about Dennis
And hugs are serious business for Dennis. Being held and snuggled is one of his favorite things, and he enjoys spending time near his people. If he finds himself alone, he may quietly call once or twice until he locates his favorite humans. Then comes the affection!
Dennis also has plenty of kitten energy. He loves chasing, climbing, play fighting with other cats, and pursuing toys tossed across the room. His funniest obsession is the fuzzy fabric he has enthusiastically removed from fluffy toys. Once Dennis has liberated one of these treasured scraps, he will happily race around carrying his prize, apparently convinced he has discovered the greatest toy ever invented!
This social boy is friendly with other cats and would benefit from feline companionship or a family with someone home regularly. He is gentle and comfortable with children of all ages. His compatibility with dogs is unknown because he has not had enough experience with them yet. Dennis needs an indoor-only loving home where he can have time to adjust, plenty of play, companionship, and, naturally, an excellent supply of cuddles.
Dennis is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, with no known health concerns. His combination of sweetness, silliness, and affection promises plenty of joyful moments for the family who welcomes him.
Ready for tiny squeaks, serious eye contact, spirited kitten games, and armfuls of Dennis snuggles? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about adopting Dennis!

9. Charlie
Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 83 mi from Fall River






Meet Charlie!
A confident six-month-old Domestic Short Hair kitten currently in Vancouver, WA, whose adventurous spirit and affectionate heart are wrapped in a beautiful tan tabby coat.
Charlie is the kind of girl who knows how to make her own fun! Independent and curious, she is happy entertaining herself when her family is away, but when playtime begins, she is ready for action. Springs and wand toys are favorites, although anything she can chase is likely to earn her enthusiastic approval! She also enjoys tumbling and playing with other cats, including both her siblings and older feline friends.
Read more about Charlie
For all that independence, Charlie has a wonderfully affectionate side. When she is feeling especially content, she turns into a champion biscuit maker, kneading away while her purr motor provides the soundtrack! She enjoys being held, seeks out affection, and has even started experimenting with laps. Her current technique is delightfully Charlie: settle comfortably just a few inches away, then occasionally decide that climbing aboard might actually be pretty nice.
Friendly with family and strangers, Charlie is also comfortable and gentle with children of all ages. She is accustomed to other cats and would be compatible with feline companions, but her confidence means she can also be placed on her own. Her compatibility with dogs is unknown because she has not had enough experience with them yet.
Charlie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, with no known health issues. She needs an indoor-only loving home with a family who will give her time to adjust while continuing to offer plenty of play, affection, companionship, and opportunities to explore safely. She will even bring along her favorite bed and toys to help make her transition more familiar.
With her playful confidence, impressive biscuit-making skills, and charming combination of independence and affection, Charlie is ready to bring laughter, purrs, and lively adventures to her next chapter! Could this spirited little tabby be the new companion your family has been waiting to meet? To learn more about adopting Charlie, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

11. Peanut
Senior · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Calico (short coat) · 82 mi from Fall River


I’m a sweet 15-year-old girl who recently lost my person, and my world has changed a lot. I’m shy right now and still missing the person I loved, so I could really use some extra love, patience, and understanding.
I’d be happiest in a quiet home where I can feel safe and settle in at my own pace. I’m fine with other cats, and beneath my shyness is a gentle girl who just wants to feel loved again.
I’ve lost my person, but I’m hoping I haven’t lost my chance at a loving home.
I am part of the Take A Chance On Me program, which means my adoption fee is lowered to help me find the right match.
If you are interested in adopting, applications can be found on our website www.ahimsahaven.org.

12. Gwynnie
Adult (3 years 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 83 mi from Fall River







Meet Gwynnie!
A sweet three-and-a-half-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Oceanside, CA, whose affectionate spirit and playful personality shine through her sleek black coat.
Read more about Gwynnie
Gwynnie is a people-loving girl who knows how to make cuddle time extra special! Settle into a comfy spot, and she may climb onto your lap and begin making her adorable “happy paws,” kneading away while enjoying your company. She does not particularly enjoy being held, but she loves choosing closeness on her own terms. She can be shy initially, then blossoms into a friendly companion once she feels comfortable. She has a special fondness for men and happily gravitates toward the men in her family.
When Gwynnie is ready for action, she makes her intentions charmingly clear by bringing her favorite toy to her people! She loves chasing toys up and down the stairs, relaxing on her cat perch, enjoying treats, and enthusiastically celebrating wet food. Life with Gwynnie offers a delightful combination of playful bursts, cozy lap time, and plenty of feline personality!
Gwynnie needs to be the only cat in her new loving home. She has become increasingly uncomfortable sharing her environment with other cats, including hissing, swatting, and occasional marking outside her litter box. However, there's wonderful news! Since being given her own separate space away from the other cat, Gwynnie has stopped marking entirely and consistently uses her litter box. This encouraging improvement suggests that a calm, cat-free environment may help her maintain these positive habits.
Gwynnie has no bite history and has not shown aggression toward people. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is compatible with calm, respectful, school-age children and older. Her compatibility with dogs has not been assessed. A gradual transition, beginning in a comfortable contained space before expanding her access, will help her settle in.
Gwynnie needs a family who enjoys companionship and can spend plenty of time with her. Could this happy-pawed, toy-delivering girl be the companion ready to brighten your days? To learn more about adopting Gwynnie, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Read more about Kittycat and Tinker
These big, lovable boys have spent their entire lives together, and their bond is an important part of their story!

Together, they offer twice the companionship, twice the charm, and countless cozy moments to brighten ordinary days. Kittycat and Tinker currently live alongside other cats.

Because they have reacted to dogs, they need a loving home without canine companions.

14. Badr
Adult · Egyptian Mau / Exotic Shorthair / Mixed (short coat) · 96 mi from Fall River




Cairo and Badr are bonded Egyptian Mau mix brothers who have already been through more than any cat should. They were heartbreakingly abandoned at a pet hotel by their former owner and, through no fault of their own, found safety in a private foster home where they have been cared for for the past year and a half.Their bond is deep and undeniable. When Badr needed treatment for a urinary tract infection, he stayed in my home to receive proper care—and Cairo cried for him while they were apart. That says everything about how closely these two are connected. They bring each other comfort, confidence, and companionship, and they must be adopted together.Both boys are affectionate, sensitive, and loyal once they feel safe.

16. Madam
Senior (11 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 83 mi from Fall River






Meet Madam!
An affectionate eleven-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Reading, MA, whose essence is pure companionship wrapped in a sleek black coat and a wonderfully chatty personality.
At 12 pounds, Madam is a large, loving girl who believes life is better when her favorite humans are nearby! She is the kind of cat who greets you when you arrive, curls up beside you for a cozy snuggle, and happily keeps the conversation going with her signature vocal commentary. Think of her as a dog in a cat’s body, complete with enthusiastic greetings, constant companionship, and plenty of opinions to share!
Read more about Madam
Madam adores attention and would thrive with a person or family who is home regularly and enjoys having a devoted lap cat nearby. Daily petting and brushing are right up her alley, but she has a playful side, too! Small mouse toys are her absolute favorites, and she enjoys chasing them and batting at wand toys. Even at eleven, she knows how to make playtime fun!
This gentle girl is comfortable with children of all ages. She has been wonderful around school-aged children and has also been gentle with a two-year-old. Strangers do not faze her either. Even unfamiliar visitors and contractors are simply more people Madam might get to know!
Madam needs to be the only cat in her new loving home. Her compatibility with dogs has not been assessed. A senior, retired person, or family with plenty of time at home could be especially compatible with her affectionate, people-centered nature.
Madam has diabetes, which is currently managed with a once-daily pill given in soft food. Her recent lab work showed that her medication is working well, and her vaccinations are up to date. She is also spayed and microchipped. Her hind legs are weak, so she takes stairs slowly and would benefit from having her food, water, and litter box conveniently nearby.
Her new family will also receive her food, automatic feeder, water fountain, litter box, and toys to help make her transition comfortable and familiar. Madam is ready to fill her next chapter with cuddles, conversations, playful mouse chases, and loyal companionship! Could this sweet, talkative girl be the companion you have been waiting to welcome home? To learn more about adopting Madam, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

20. Jonesy
Adult (9 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 81 mi from Fall River




Hi, I’m Jonesy. ❤️
I may be a little shy when we first meet, but underneath that cautious exterior is a very sweet girl who truly loves people. Once I feel comfortable, I’m happiest when my humans are nearby. I’ll look for you, enjoy your attention, and simply be happy knowing I have someone to call my own.
I’m a senior lady, and at this stage of my life, I’m not looking for anything complicated. I’m looking for a quiet, peaceful home where I can settle in, feel safe, and be loved. A soft place to nap, a kind person to keep me company, and a little patience while I find my confidence would mean the world to me.

I think I could do well with respectful children who understand that an older girl like me may need a little time to warm up. I would prefer to be the only pet in the home, without dogs or cats, so I can enjoy all the attention myself.
I’ve got so much love left to give. I just need someone willing to see past my initial shyness and give a sweet senior girl the chance to spend her golden years knowing what it feels like to truly belong. Maybe that someone is you.

21. Appa & Little
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 82 mi from Fall River



We’re Appa and Little, and we’ve been together through life’s changes. When our previous owner could no longer care for us, we found ourselves looking for a new beginning. We’ve always had each other, and we’re hoping our next chapter is one we get to share too. That’s why we’re looking for a home where we can stay together forever.
I’m Appa, the big guy—the extra-large black cat with an even bigger heart. I’m 8 years old, quiet, playful, and a little shy when we first meet. New situations can make me feel timid, so I need someone who understands that trust takes time. Once I feel safe, I really enjoy being brushed—it’s one of my favorite ways to relax. I’m not a fan of being picked up, but I’m happy to show my affection in my own quiet way.
And I’m Little, a 5-year-old gray tabby with a gentle soul. I can be shy at first too, but once I know you’re kind, I’m incredibly loving. I adore being petted and will happily soak up all the gentle attention you’re willing to give.
We’re both sweet, quiet boys who would love a peaceful home where we can blossom at our own pace. We’re good with other cats and respectful older children, but dogs aren’t really our thing.
If you’re looking for not one, but two loyal best friends, we promise we’re worth the patience. All we need is a little time, a lot of love, and the chance to stay together—just as we’ve always been.

22. Bill
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 82 mi from Fall River




Bill is an all black, short haired, 2 year old male cat who was living with a group of feral cats. He was trapped and brought to be neutered and was going to be returned to his home as he was also thought to be feral. Turns out he’s not! It only took a day to suspect he wasn’t like the others but it took a fair amount of time for him to trust the humans again. He now purrs like a champ when you scratch starting from his head and go all of the way down his back to his tail. He greets you with his tiny hoarse meow when it’s mealtime and catches the feather wand and just holds it like it’s a real bird.

He also loves the fuzzy worm on a stick toy. He seems to be quite content to have left the outdoor life behind and has become a couch potato. He is good with other cats and tolerant of older respectful children but since the foster has no dogs we aren’t sure how he would do with them.

23. Roni
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo (short coat) · 82 mi from Fall River




Hi, I’m Roni.
I’m a 5-year-old tuxedo lady with big curious eyes and a gentle heart. Life changed unexpectedly when my previous owner could no longer care for me, but I’m hoping my next chapter is just around the corner.
I can be a little shy when we first meet—new places and new people can be a lot for a girl to take in. But if you give me a little patience, I’ll show you my sweet side. Once I feel comfortable, I absolutely welcome love, pets, and all the gentle attention you have to offer.
I get along well with other cats and would be happy to share my home with a feline friend. Dogs aren’t really my thing, and I’d do best in a home with older children who understand that sometimes I need a little time to settle in.
What I’m looking for most is a family that will let me be myself—a quiet, loving home where I can blossom at my own pace and become your loyal companion.
Could you be the one to give me the fresh start I’ve been waiting for?

Read more about Daisy and Duke
Their story is one of resilience and connection. After spending time outdoors, they adjusted to indoor life with growing confidence, especially once reunited. From that moment, their bond became unmistakable, filled with comforting grooming sessions and quiet reassurance. Together, they enjoy sun-drenched windows, cozy blankets, playful chases with little toys, and the simple joy of bird-watching. Their adorable habit of becoming completely mesmerized by outdoor activity often turns into a charming little show for anyone nearby!
Daisy and Duke are affectionate with trusted people and thrive in a calm, patient environment where they can continue building confidence at their own pace. They are compatible with other pets and gentle children, though they may be shy at first with unfamiliar faces. With time, consistency, and positive reinforcement, their loving personalities truly shine.
They are looking for a new loving home where they can stay together, surrounded by understanding caregivers who appreciate the quiet magic of shy but affectionate companions. Their future family will be rewarded with tender moments, peaceful companionship, and the joy of watching their bond continue to blossom.
Could your home be the place where Daisy and Duke continue their beautiful journey together? If you feel ready to welcome this heartfelt duo into your life, reach out at adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Adopting a cat with children in Fall River
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
