Hello, I am a sweetheart little fella who was born mid July along with my siblings. Once me and my siblings were old enough to be taken away from our mommy cat we were placed in a foster home where we are having lots of fun running and playing all day.

4. Allie Cat
HI! My name is Allie Cat. I am about a year old or a little older. Some nice lady found me in a bad part of town with my 5 7-8 week old babies. When she saw me eating out of the garbage on E. 81
st
and pulled over, I jumped right in and meowed at her until she eventually found my babies under a porch! I was all skin and bones but still being the best momma cat and nursing my kittens until they were healthy enough to be adopted. Now that theyre all grown and have found homes I am hopeful it is my turn to find my forever family that will shower me with all the love, pets, treats and wet food that I deserve.
Read more about Allie Cat
I am skeptical in new places and would do best with a friendly companion animal to teach me everything is going to be OK, or just by myself I would be OK too! I am great with little humans and nudge at my 3 year old foster moms kiddo until he pets me. My foster mom has two cats and a big dog that I try to play with but they just yell at me, so It has taken awhile for me to come out of my shell. I have never once tried to yell back or chase them in a mean way. I am very talkative and meow when I want attention and wet food. I am very food motivated and I am not picky. I am a purr machine once the petting starts and love to lounge next to you on the couch and have my belly rubbed!

RIP
Hi, I'm Rip! I was dropped off at a vet's office when I was very little, then went to my foster parents. I was very shy at first, but they were patient.
Read more about Rip
I took treats slowly, one at a time, and we played cat games on the phone, then with other toys, and I discovered yummy wet food! Then I met the friendly cat who lives here, and everything changed. I started to see indoor life differently and let out my first big purr! Soon after, I met Squeakie, a smaller kitten, and we became instant friends.
I have beautiful markings and plush fur, and once I trust you, I'll purr up a storm. People made my life better. Give me a chance, and I'll make yours better too.

6. Darcy
TO MEET ME, please complete a Pre-Adoption Application through our website: https://www.foreverfriendsfoundation.org/info/adoption (If you rent, you will be required to provide a copy of your lease agreement.
Hello, darling people!
My name is Darcy, and yes, I’m as beautiful as I look. I’m a gorgeous, short-haired calico with plenty of personality and absolutely no shortage of opinions.
I know what you’re thinking: “Wow, she’s stunning!” And honestly, you’re right. But please don’t hold my beauty against me. Looking this fabulous takes work!
Read more about Darcy
I require daily brushing to keep my luxurious coat looking its best. Naturally, grooming should be done gently and respectfully. I have a very sophisticated way of letting my servants know when I’ve had quite enough — a gentle little paw tap. Consider it my polite way of saying, “Thank you, darling. We’re finished now.”
I also believe that attention is my love language. I enjoy being admired, adored, and generally treated like the important little lady I am. I’m looking for a family who understands that a diva deserves plenty of affection… on her terms. ❤️
What About Other Pets?
I might be willing to consider sharing my kingdom with another non-aggressive cat, provided introductions are slow, thoughtful, and respectful.
Dogs and small children?
Well… let's just say they are an unknown quantity at this time.
I would do best with people who understand cat behavior and are willing to let me settle in at my own pace.

If you think you might be worthy of serving as my forever family, I am currently accepting applications.
Love,

Read more about Sammy
As a tuxedo, he was made to be the most distinguished gentleman in the room and he knows it. He demands your attention at all times. Sammy was rescued from a campground where he was found in dire straits. After some much needed TLC and medical attention, he is a healthy and playful little man.

"They call me a sophisticated gentleman because my tuxedo suit is always perfectly tailored. Yes, I'm sleek and sweet, but I have a timeless charm that requires just a touch of patience.

I am a total cuddle bug and I love purring appreciation for hours. Everything is in order: I'm fully vetted and ready to manage your home! If you can offer a calm space and a lovely window for my daily check-ins, I promise to adore you forever."

Yes to cuddles and very vocal sometimes!

Loves my cat tree!
Sweet & sleek tuxedo
MY IDEAL FAMILY:
OK with 1 or 2 other cats (if they are respectful and introduced properly).
Still unsure about small children & dogs.
Absolutely ready for love!

I’m a super sweet petite young lady who loves affection. When you enter the room I’ll put my nose up to let you know it’s time to pet me. I love to rub against the people I trust and will let you know I’m happy with my loud purr. A family who can appreciate my gentle nature would be perfect for me and I’d love to spend time in my forever home with my special person(s). Even though I’m a quiet girl I do get the zoomies and will meow to let you know that you are taking too long to prepare my food! I prefer to be the only cat but may do well with a quiet gentle dog (if we are introduced properly). If you take me into your home, I will be the purrfect family member.

Adopting a cat in Northfield
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.
