Daisy came to us in bad shape. She had an eye infection, worms and a serious Upper Respiratory infection, poor baby! CAR quickly got her vetted and on several different antibiotics. Daisy is healthy and happy. She loves watching people walk by her window, so curious. She is a little nervous of new people, but she is learning to trust our staff and volunteers more and more with each day. She is a gorgeous Torbi cat looking for her second chance at life!

Oreo has been an amazing momma more times than she needed to be. Worry no more! No more babies for this amazing 10-11 year old girl(as of 7/26/26). Oreo is a sweet affectionate girl, and would do best in a quieter home. She was a young stray kitty that was hanging around a home that recently had a new buyer. They decided to feed her, and unfortunately with this litter she got a not so great infection, and actually brought her babies to the home of her feeders, because she knew she needed help. So these people got help, momma had surgery, and is doing great!! Now she’s ready for a quiet loving home

Adopting a cat in Manchester

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.
