Senior · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed · 21 mi from Vineland

If you are looking for a sweet, loyal, and peaceful soul to fill your home with warmth and quiet affection, Singer is ready to sing his way right into your heart! Singer is a sweet, gentle senior gentleman with the softest heart. While he can be a little shy at first, it doesn't take long at all for him to warm up and show you just how much of a lovebug he is! Singer loves living the relaxed, low-key life. He's past his playful kitten days and prefers to spend his time chilling out, cozying up, and soaking in all the gentle love you have to offer. He's a big fan of cuddles, head scratches, and pet sessions.

Read more about Singer

In fact, he loves companionship so much that he likes a little encouragement at mealtimes—just a few minutes of sitting nearby and giving gentle pets will make him feel safe enough to dig in. Singer's Ideal Home: Quiet & Calm Environment: He thrives in a peaceful space where he can relax without loud, high-energy bustle. Feline Friends: He loves other cats and would make a wonderful cuddle buddy for another sweet kitty! Dogs: He isn't inherently afraid of dogs, but due to his calm senior lifestyle, high-energy or very large pets can startle him. A home with calm/gentle dogs or no dogs would suit him best. All kittens and cats from Rescue Kitty are vaccinated and spayed/neutered before adoption Apply for this kitty: https://rescuekitty.org/adoption/adoption-application

3. Toast aka Void

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 21 mi from Vineland

Hi my name is Toast! Like burnt Toast. Get it? I am from a litter of four sisters but as you can see from my pictures, I am the prettiest and most fun of the bunch. I am also clearly not shy! I love to run and jump and climb. I love all toys but wands are my favorite because they let me do all three at once! Feet also fascinate me, maybe because they're so much bigger than mine. Another of my favorite things is exploring closets and under furniture. Foster mother calls me Curiosity sometimes. Whatever that means.I may look like a typical black cat but if you look closely, I have a really cool tabby stripe pattern in my fur! I understand if you missed it because you were distracted by my blue-green eyes though.

Adopting a cat with children in Vineland

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.
