Male
DOB: 10/01/24
Read more about Felix
Meet Felix! This little guy (just 7 pounds) was left behind by his previous owner and braved the wild for several weeks before being caught by a caring neighbor and brought to GRASP. Felix is still timid as he adjusts to his new life. He loves pets and snuggles and purrs very loudly to show his appreciation for being rescued. He will probably do best in a quieter home where he feels safe while he continues to get used to new people and environments. He has lived with other cats who picked on him, so it is unknown how he will be with other cats or dogs if properly introduced. He is good with children and would love to find his forever home.

4. Nairobi
DOB: 7/1/2024
Nairobi is a quiet, gentle girl who is ready to find a forever home of her very own! After dedicating herself to raising her litter of kittens, it’s finally her turn to be spoiled and loved.
Nairobi prefers the simple things in life—a peaceful home, a cozy blanket, and a comfy spot to curl up for a nap. She’s not one to demand constant attention, but she certainly enjoys some love and affection when she’s in the mood!
Nairobi does well with both cats and dogs, but she would thrive in a calm, quiet environment where she can relax and feel comfortable.

10. Cleo
Cleo
DOB: 4/20/2026
Cleo is a cat's cat and if she could be adopted by another cat without the intervention of a human, she would be. Cleo does not like being held, pet, or touched in any way by a human BUT she is the sweetest little nugget when it comes to other cats. She loves to play, cuddle, snuggle, and just live life with other cats.
Read more about Cleo
Cleo was brought in as a feral kitten at just a month old after her mama cat was tragically hit by a car leaving Cleo and her siblings to fend for themselves. Through months of love and care by GRASP fosters, Cleo's siblings all learned to love people and embraces new lives with forever families. Unfortunately, Cleo hasn't gotten the memo that humans can be pretty cool. We thought about moving Cleo to a barn so she could live life chasing mice away from the scary people, but she's decided she likes having human butlers, just not human friends.
Cleo wants a house where she has plenty of toys, cat beds, and fluffy things to spoil and round the clock provisions of her favorite snacks and food without any of the human attempts to try and hold her. Ideally, she'll have another cat or two to hang with as well as she is happiest with other cats around. No dogs though please. She currently lives with dogs and finds them as appalling as the humans.
Cleo would be the perfect cat to adopt if maybe your current cat needs a friend but maybe your partner doesn't want another cat. Good news! She isn't your cat, she's your cat's cat!

Adopting a cat in Buffalo
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.
