However, I am pretty brave and will only hide away from loud things for a short period of time before I come back for more love or play time.

OFFICIAL NOTICE FROM THE MINISTRY OF MEOW
It has come to our attention that the Sorting Hat may have made an error.
Lady Sally(zar) Slytherin was sorted into Slytherin, but let the record show she is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart of gold (and the softest paws in the wizarding world).
Read more about Sally Slytherin
She’s always up for a good play session, with feather wands, crinkle balls, and the occasional zoomies down the hallway. But when things get to be a bit much, she quietly disappears to the highest perch in the house, where she can watch over everything with those big, wise eyes.
Sweet and innocent? Or is she silently orchestrating the whole household from above?
Honestly, we’re not ruling out that this is all part of the plan.
Mischief managed.

17. Sage
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 79 mi from Battle Creek




Hi! My name is Sage and I am almost 3 months old. I am a shy, little kitten that will need a patient, loving home to help me grow out of my shell. I was raised in a foster home with my mom and siblings since I was about three weeks old, but I am still a pretty quiet kitten. Growing up in a foster home helped me get used to living inside a home, and I didn't have to sit in a shelter kennel while I was growing up. I do well with other cats and kittens, and I would do good in a home with children that can respect me! Being held is a little scary at first but then I can get comfortable and will purr.

I am playful too and can't wait to play with you! Please come out to see me!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

This beautiful girl, Luna Grace, is approximately one year old and has the sweetest soul. She is incredibly friendly, loves people, and is always happy to make new human friends. No hiding when visitors come over - she welcomes everyone.
Luna Grace’s favorite place is curled up on someone's lap soaking up love and attention. She’s not particularly interested in running around playing with toys, she’d rather spend her time relaxing and enjoying your company.
Luna Grace wasn’t immediately comfortable meeting another cat so a home with other cats would require slow, patient introductions.

Happy Days Dog & Cat Rescue requires a Spay/Neuter Contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization at the time of adoption. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. HDDCR holds a deposit [$50 for dogs, $25 for cats] in addition to the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog or cat was spayed/neutered by the date stipulated on the Spay/Neuter Contract. The deposit will be refunded to the adopter if spay/neuter was done according to the Spay/Neuter Contract signed by the adopter.

Adopting a cat with children in Battle Creek
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.
