1. Timmy
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 19 mi from Springfield










Meet Timmy!
A spirited six-month-old Domestic Short Hair kitten currently in New York, NY, whose handsome brown mackerel tabby coat, fluffy tail, and scrumptiously sweet personality make him irresistible.
Affectionately nicknamed “Mr. Scrumptious,” Timmy is a lovable little whirlwind with a tiny, expressive face, incredibly soft fur, and enough kitten energy to power an entire neighborhood! This smart, affectionate boy approaches life with boundless curiosity, enthusiasm, and a running commentary of adorable chirps.
Read more about Timmy
Timmy believes every moment presents an opportunity for adventure! Whether he's racing through rooms, leaping after toys, or chasing his beloved springs across the floor, he's always finding ways to entertain himself. Water is another fascination! Sinks, showers, and bathtubs are irresistible playgrounds, and he occasionally buries his toys in wet food.
This outgoing social butterfly welcomes new people almost instantly! He enjoys being picked up, loves affection, and happily makes friends with visitors. Although constantly on the move, he'll settle beside his pet parent for some well-earned relaxation when his batteries finally run low.
Timmy needs an active, engaging environment with plenty of space, interactive playtime, and companionship. He would thrive with a pet parent who spends considerable time at home, another young, equally energetic cat, or both. His enthusiastic play style includes frequent pouncing and lunging at feline companions, so he must not be placed with older or calmer cats. His intentions are playful, but his exuberance can overwhelm quieter companions.
Children and dogs remain untested. A first-time cat parent could be a wonderful match with realistic expectations about his energy and willingness to provide enrichment and positive reinforcement for furniture scratching.
Timmy is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and healthy, with no history of biting or scratching people or animals. Expected to reach around 12 pounds, he's growing into a handsome companion with an enormous personality! Ready to welcome this chirping, spring-chasing, water-loving bundle of joy into your family?

3. Cricket and Daphne
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 19 mi from Springfield










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!

4. Dennis
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 19 mi from Springfield






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!

5. Charlie
Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 19 mi from Springfield






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.

Meet Loza – A Little Girl Who Sees the World Through Her Heart Beautiful Loza is an adorable 8-month-old female Snowshoe mix with Native Egyptian Mau heritage. She may have been born without sight, but she certainly hasn't let that stop her from enjoying life or giving love. Loza was born blind, and she has been examined by veterinarians on three separate visits, all confirming that her blindness is congenital and that she was born this way.Despite being blind, Loza is an amazing little girl who has learned to navigate her world with her other senses. She is fully litter-trained and knows exactly where her litter box is by its familiar scent.

If her box is moved and she cannot locate it, she will simply meow until someone helps guide her back to it. Most importantly, Loza is an incredibly loving, sweet, and affectionate girl. She doesn't know that she's different—she simply knows that she loves people and wants to be loved in return. Loza would do best in a safe, predictable home where her litter box, food, water, and favorite resting places remain in consistent locations. With a little understanding and patience, a blind cat like Loza can live a happy, fulfilling, and deeply loving life. She may not be able to see you, but she will know your voice, your touch, and your love. And once Loza trusts you, you'll have a devoted little companion who will melt your heart.

Adopting a kitten in Springfield
Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.
Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
