1. Charlotte

Senior (12 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Concord

Char/Meck Animal Control was notified by a couple that a cat had shown up at their house. She was scanned for a microchip that came back to the SCHS...from 2015! Unregistered, we have CHARLOTTE back and have caught her up on her vetting. She is a total sweetheart: calm, friendly, but with not many teeth. This, however, does not stop her from eating and she enjoys her meals. She is also four-paw declawed, but doesn't hold that against us. She will make a wonderful lap cat!

2. Shy

Young (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Concord

SHY and his siblings showed up at a local home back in June with their mama. While the residents knew they couldn’t keep them, they also couldn’t turn their backs. They fed and cared for them until the SCHS could finally take them in. Shy was nervous upon intake, but has really progressed. He enjoys the catio, and visiting with and getting affection from volunteers. He does great with other cats and is sure to be a good lap warmer.

Kitten (3 months 26 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Concord

ZAHLI was diagnosed with Glaucoma in her right eye. While vets hoped to wait until she was a little bigger to remove it, it was on the verge of rupturing so surgery was done. One of the SCHS' great foster moms stepped up to care for Zahli through her recovery and now she's ready for her forever home. This easygoing, affectionate girl loves other cats, dogs and people. She enjoys being carried around like the princess that she is and she sleeps with her foster parents at night.

26. Velvet

Adult (1 year 5 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Concord

VELVET has been with the SCHS since she was a kitten. She was adopted and returned, and the only way we can explain why is because she's all-things quirky. She enjoys sitting on top of our stackable washer/dryer, to zoom around playing with the most minute piece of litter (or nothing at all), to chew on most things plastic, to sit on your lap for lovin's, and to help you with your homework, paperwork, etc. She doesn't like to be snuck up on, to be held a long time or to have other cats get all up in her face. AND WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! She's so much fun and a real bright spot in the cat room. Let's find the perfect quirky home for her!
The standard adoption fee is $120 cash or $125 debit/credit.

28. Cinder

Adult (1 year 4 months) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 24 mi from Concord

Beautiful CINDER came in as a timid stray kitten. She was adopted a few months later, but recently returned because she was still hiding. Her adopter thinks she needs a quieter home and we agree. Cinder needs someone who has the time to work with her socially. That simply means closing bedroom and bathroom doors when not in use (so she has fewer places to hide), playing with her and handling her a lot. Regular brushing is a good way to connect. She really is a sweet girl and does love people.

29. Blakely

Kitten (4 months 26 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Concord

BLAKELY was born to a feral mama but wandered up to a home, possibly in search of food. Happy to oblige, the homeowner was able to catch her and bring her to the SCHS.
Her initially shy personality has transformed and so did her coat! When so much white grew in, we thought she was a salmiak cat. However, her white has faded, although she has retained some. Blakely loves to get affection and, once she relaxes, she's wonderful. She would do great with a cat buddy or two.

30. Feleena

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Concord

FELEENA was found at a local restaurant. Semi-feral, she was so sick that she let her finders pick her up. She had an injured leg, a kink in her tail, one eye was sealed shut, her ear tips had been chewed off and she had rattled breathing. This little fighter thankfully responded so well to medications and food. She spent three weeks in foster care where she became better socialized. Feleena LOVES other cats and would want one in her forever home. She has made great progress socially and has the best purr.

Adopting a cat with children in Concord

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.
