1. Spritz
3 Months 12 Days · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 19 mi from Tonawanda




If you’re coming across my adoption profile you’re probably looking to enrich your life with “man’s best friend”. Yeah yeah I know, “loyalty”…“unconditional love” … the lore of the notorious D.O.G. But, you know what canine sympathizers never want to talk about? Potty training in the dead of winter. Sleepless nights while crate training. All of the blood, sweat and tears that goes into molding your “loyal best friend”. You want something real? Something authentic? Someone who is unapologetically themselves and won’t be influenced by a biscuit or a pat on the head? Get a cat. Better yet, get me.

I’m Spritz. I’m 3 months old, 3 pounds big, and 3 million times more mature than a puppy. I am practically self sufficient. You really don’t NEED to do much for me but you’ll WANT to. My big dreamy eyes and raspy purr will have you doodling my name during your 9 to 5. You’ll be counting down the seconds until you can get home and pull out that laser pointer. Once you go cat, you never go back. See you at home;)

Felix
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.

10. Cleo
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 61 mi from Tonawanda



Cleo
DOB: 4/20/2026
If you've been following along Cleo's journey with GRASP, you'd know that this girl's bio has been updated pretty much monthly because this girl never ceases to stop learning and growing!
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 embrace new lives with forever families. Unfortunately, Cleo hasn't found the right family for her.
Cleo's only 'flaw' that is holding people back from finding her perfect the way we do, is that she does not like to be touched.
Read more about Cleo
No picking her up or petting this sweet girl, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to be part of the family. Cleo has been crashing in a home with toddlers and she absolutely adores them. She will follow them around the house, sleep at the foot of their bed, and hang out on the couch with them at the same time just not on their lap. We believe with time, patience, and love this girl will eventually allow pets and snuggles, but if she doesn't, is it the worst thing to have an adorable shadow hanging around the family? We don't think so!
Ideally, she'll have another cat or two to hang with as well as she is happiest with other cats around. She currently lives with dogs and does not like when they approach her, but if they are asleep on the couch she doesn't mind laying on the opposite side of them. So respectful dogs are a maybe, but she'd really probably do best without one.

11. Relish
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 61 mi from Tonawanda


Relish
Female
DOB: 07/04/26
Relish is the cutest little kitten who reminds her foster family of a baby bunny when she bounces around playing with toys. Speaking of toys, Relish LOVES to play. Her favorite thing in the world is to race around chasing ping pong balls. She chirps and makes adorable sounds while she bounces around. Relish starts purring immediately when she hears her foster family's voices or sees them walk into the room. When she's tired of chasing her toys, she likes to make a little nest and wrap up in her blanket. Relish shares a foster home with dogs and other cats.

Approx 6 monthsBo was found in the road snuggling with his sister, Peep, while very sick.He is very outgoing, loves affection, and will certainly let you know when he isn't receiving it. He is curious about everything and is a great escape artist.Bo and Peep were together through their illnesses (and Peep's eye removal surgery), so it would be wonderful if they could stay together (but it isn't required). With his outgoing personality, Bo will fit in with any household! He does well with the resident small dogs and adult cats in his foster home.

Adopting a cat with children in Tonawanda
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.
