19. Radish

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Torbie / Mixed (short coat) · 46 mi from Gower

Radish, a young female cat up for adoption

Radish and her sister Turnip are two adorable kittens that came to us from a tough situation--a hoarding house. We don't know their full history, but as a result they are shy and can take some time to warm to new people and places. Once they come out of their shell, it's a different story! These kitties love to play, play, play. Then sleep all day! They are very affectionate once they settle in. In fact, Turnip is a "lap cat in training." Little Radish loves to gaze out the window and chase flies. Both will help you finish your breakfast, if allowed. While they don't need a home together, they would benefit from another kitty friend to bond with.

20. Kilian and Karlos

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 46 mi from Gower

Kilian and Karlos, male kittens up for adoption

Killian and Karlos are brother kitties who will live their best lives together in their perfect new home, and so must be adopted together.
Kilian and Karlos have come a long way since they came into their foster home after being trapped during a horrible heatwave. While they still hiss at their foster parents once in a while, they can be picked up and carried around for short periods.
Kilian and Karlos really wake up at night and show their playful side. They love toys that hang down so they can bat at them. They are also fascinated by the ball track tower and how they can get the different balls to spin around.
These boys definitely love their canned food twice a day.

Adopting a cat in Gower

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.
