8. Oliver

Adult (3 years 5 months) · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 46 mi from Kingston

Oliver is a very sweet kitty, that is about 3 years old and weighs about 10 lbs. He was taken in during the cold winter, when he was trapped in a porch he came into to for feeding. Originally vetted as a TNR cat, those plans changed when there was an instinct that he could become a pet cat.

Oliver was very patient over the winter and he slowly grew to trust and crave attention, petting, and interaction.

Oliver has become a super lovey dovey, affectionate cat that craves attention and just loves to be looked after.

Read more about Oliver

Oliver seems fine with dogs and will even try to rub on them if they are friendly and not too dominant. If they are dominant he may bat them away from him to give him his space.

We are looking for a foster home (or adoptive home)for Oliver.

He is so sweet and affectionate and just loves to be loved.

Oliver is FIV positive so it will be important that his next home is either as an only cat, or with another FIV positive companion.

We are looking for a foster home and/or an adoptive home. He has not lived with other cats, (he could be introduced as a process) but may thrive with another cat, he seems to seek out the activity of people and animals. Oliver likes dogs.

Kitten (5 months 15 days) · Female · Tortoiseshell (long coat) · 48 mi from Kingston

Meet Tortellini O’Neil!

Small kitty, BIG personality! Tortellini O’Neil is a beautiful tortoiseshell girl with a little ninja spice and a whole lot of love to give. Rescued from a sewer and spending time at a local impound, this brave little girl earned her name as a nod to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their fearless reporter friend, April O’Neil. Now, she’s ready to leave her underground adventures behind and find a forever home where she can live the life of luxury she deserves!

Read more about Tortellini O'Neil

Tortellini has a touch of classic tortie-tude and may be a little spicy when you first try to pick her up. But don’t let that fool you! Once she’s settled into your arms, her ninja attitude melts away, and she transforms into a purring machine.

Think you can catch this little ninja? Think again! Tortellini has SUPER SPEED, especially when she realizes you’re coming to pick her up. She’ll turn it into a game of keep-away, darting off just when you think you’ve got her cornered. Of course, the rules of the game are entirely up to her, and when she finally decides she’s ready to be picked up, she’ll let you know! This girl likes to be in charge of her own adventures, so a little patience and a good sense of humor will go a long way.

On the practical side, Tortellini is a pro at using her litter box and has excellent bathroom manners. She has also met cats and dogs and can coexist happily with other furry friends. She’ll just need slow, thoughtful introductions and time to feel safe and comfortable with her new companions.

As a kitten born around May 2026, Tortellini is ready to start her next big adventure. She’s got the speed of a ninja, the purr of a sweetheart, and enough tortitude to keep life entertaining. Could your home be the perfect hideout for this sweet, speedy little girl? Adopt Tortellini O’Neil and give her the happy ending she deserves!

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper (PCR) vaccines appropriate to age, Feline leukemia/FIV/HW test, heartworm, ear mite and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $250

10. Massey Ferguson

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 49 mi from Kingston

Miss Allis was surrendered from a local farm with her babies.
Meet Massey Ferguson (aka "Fergie" - Momma)
My name is Massey Ferguson, but my friends call me Fergie! I’m a bit older than the rest of the crew, which just means I'm a lady who is set in her ways. I spent my earlier days as a tough barn cat, and while I am incredibly happy to be safe and warm in a house, I still prefer it if humans leave me to my own devices. I am a gentle soul and have never shown a single ounce of aggression—I just get a little nervous and prefer to hide when people come too close. I find an immense amount of comfort and confidence when I'm with my fellow tractor momma, Allis, and I would love a quiet home where I can just coexist and learn to trust on my own timeline.

Read more about Massey Ferguson

Personality: Independent, quiet, and very set in her ways.

Social style: Prefers her space from humans but is completely devoted to her feline friends.

Dream home: A calm, understanding environment with her best friend Allis, and a family who doesn't mind letting a sweet cat just be a cat.

Miss Allis was surrendered from a local farm with her babies. Meet Allis Chalmers My name is Allis Chalmers, aka: Allis! At first glance, I look like a sleek black cat, but if you catch me in the right light, you’ll see my secret: striking brown undertones filled with hidden stripes and spots! I’m a former barn cat who is still a bit unsure about humans, but if you give me a chance and pet me just a little, I completely melt. I’ll roll right over onto my back and let you scratch my neck all day! I'm also very playful, quite chatty, and have a lot of love to give. My ultimate dream is to find a forever home where I can stay together with my fellow tractor momma and best friend, Massey Ferguson!
Look: Sleek black coat with beautiful "secret" brown stripes and spots visible in the light.
Personality: A little shy at first, but secretly a playful, chatty mush who loves neck scratches.

Meet Bucket

My name is Bucket! I am a beautiful white kitty with striking tabby markings, and yes—I was born with this perfect, built-in "cat eye" eyeliner! I'm a bit of a deep thinker. When I first left the barn, I took my time sizing things up, but I’ve officially decided that humans can be trusted (well, most of the time!). I really enjoy being close to my people and getting love, but I also appreciate a girl who knows how to enjoy her own personal space.

Sprocket and sibliigs were surrendered from farm in MN.
⚙️ Meet Sprocket

My name is Sprocket! I listened very carefully to my mom's barn stories about humans, and to be honest, I’m still not entirely convinced she was wrong. I like to keep my distance and play it safe by watching my littermates whenever my foster mom is around. They all seem to absolutely love her! They climb all over her and I hear them purring away, so they must know something I don't. I might be ready to open up and join the machinery soon, but for now, I'm just taking my time.

Personality: Observant, cautious, and a little independent.

Diesel and sibliigs were surrendered from farm in MN. Meet Diesel
My name is Diesel! When I first traded my barn life for a foster home, I tried really hard to be brave and prove I was the engine running this operation. I did lots of hissing and tucked my ears back tight! Since then, I have learned that being a house cat is way better than being a barn cat. I get food all the time! I have lots of fun playing with my 7 tractor-part littermates, and I purr all the time! I can't wait to meet my forever family, and I would absolutely love it if one of my siblings joined me!First impressions: Tried acting like a tough boss with big hisses and tucked-back ears.
Current status: Realized house life is amazing and turned into a total purr machine.
Favorite things: Constant food, epic playtime, and heavy purring.
Dream home: A loving family, ideally with one of his 7 littermates to keep the party going.

Adopting a cat in Kingston

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.

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.
