Cats for Adoption in Providence, RI: 30 Cats Looking for a Home

When he's not busy spreading affection, Tommy enjoys watching the world outside his window. Birds and squirrels provide endless entertainment, especially when he can chatter at them from his cat tree. His favorite toy is an interactive owl who squeaks and flaps his wings, bringing out Tommy's playful side!

Tommy has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and asthma, which requires twice-daily oral Prednisolone. Fortunately, this clever boy has mastered his medication routine! When he hears "Ready, ready, ready, open, open," he opens his mouth, knowing delicious Greenies and Temptations treats are coming. His caregiver happily offers to teach his new family this simple routine. Tommy has reportedly experienced only one asthma episode in the past year.

Tommy is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He also eats a special urinary-care diet to help prevent crystals. His caregiver has also offered a monthly contribution toward his ongoing care.

This affectionate boy needs a calm, loving home with an experienced cat parent who is comfortable managing his medical needs. His compatibility with children, dogs, and other cats remains uncertain, so thoughtful introductions and careful consideration are important. He would appreciate room to explore, daily playtime, and plenty of opportunities for snuggling!

Ready to welcome this charming, treat-loving cuddlebug into your family? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about Tommy and discover whether he's your next wonderful companion!

Honey Bunn, affectionately called Bun, is a laid-back, lovable gentleman who believes relaxation is an art form. Weighing around 20 pounds, this cuddly sweetheart enjoys lounging, playing with toy mice, and making biscuits while purring like a little motor! Despite his size, Bun considers himself a tiny kitten and happily climbs into laps for affection. His funniest habit? Proudly announcing whenever he discovers a toy! He also enjoys drinking water straight from the sink.

Peppermint, weighing around 15 pounds, brings an outgoing, playful energy to their friendship. This social butterfly greets visitors at the door, adores cuddles, and has an almost dog-like personality! He loves exploring, chasing strings and pom-pom balls, and occasionally playing fetch. Leave a cozy blanket unattended, and Peppermint might claim it as his personal snuggle spot!

Together, these boys offer a delightful balance of peaceful companionship and playful entertainment. Both are affectionate, enjoy gentle handling, and have wonderful manners during veterinary visits. They are neutered and vaccinated. Peppermint has a small heart murmur that multiple veterinarians have determined is not life-threatening.

Honey Bunn can be selective with unfamiliar cats, while Peppermint is especially sociable. Both are generally comfortable around dogs, although their compatibility with children is unknown. A calm, caring environment with patient pet parents who appreciate their individual personalities would suit them beautifully.

Most importantly, Honey Bunn and Peppermint must be adopted together. Their friendship is part of what makes them so special!

Are you ready to double the purrs, double the cuddles, and share your heart with these two wonderful companions? To learn more about welcoming this lovable duo, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants to settle close and soak up your affection, Tilly may be your perfect match.

One of his most endearing quirks is his beloved emotional support toy, which he proudly carries around while searching for his favorite human. He's also an enthusiastic mealtime supervisor who will happily escort you to the kitchen, especially when delicious lickable treats are involved! Despite his mature age, Benny still enjoys playful adventures, occasionally fetching toys or surprising everyone with an impressive leap into the air.

Benny is looking for a calm, loving, adult-only home where he can be the center of attention as the only pet. He's strictly an indoor gentleman who appreciates familiar routines, gentle affection, and plenty of companionship. A single pet parent or couple who spends considerable time at home would be wonderfully compatible with his affectionate, devoted nature.

Benny experiences anxiety, particularly during stressful changes, high winds, or unexpected encounters with animals. He typically responds by running or hiding, although he has experienced two isolated episodes of heightened reactivity during unusually stressful situations. Patient caregivers who understand feline body language and provide a peaceful environment will help him feel secure. Veterinary visits can also be stressful, but prescribed medications have successfully helped him navigate challenging experiences.

This neutered sweetheart is healthy, vaccinated, and ready for his next chapter! Although located in Gig Harbor, WA, long-distance adoption arrangements may be possible for a suitable family.

Benny has so much personality, affection, and companionship to share with someone who appreciates a wonderfully vocal, devoted feline shadow. Are you ready to welcome Benny into your life and discover the joy of having this affectionate, one-of-a-kind companion by your side? To learn more about adopting Benny, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Tinker also has a playful side waiting to emerge. He enjoys a variety of interactive cat toys, including favorites from brands such as Frisco and Catstages. He has amusing little habits that add personality to his days, and his vocal nature means his family can expect the occasional feline commentary, too! Watching this initially shy boy relax, play, and share his affectionate side can make everyday moments feel especially rewarding.

This indoor gentleman currently lives alongside other cats. Tinker may be timid around feline companions at first, but he can become playful and tolerant once he has time to settle in. He is suitable for a family with calm, respectful older children who can give him the gentle interactions he appreciates. Because Tinker has reacted to dogs, he needs a loving home without canine companions.

Tinker is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health. His new family should be committed to keeping him safely indoors, giving him time to adjust at his own pace, and treating him as a cherished member of the family.

One companion is already especially close to Tinker’s heart: his brother, Kittycat. These brothers have been together their entire lives and Tinker would love to be adopted with Kittycat if possible.

Could this gentle, playful boy be the feline friendship your family is ready to welcome? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet Tinker!

This indoor gentleman currently lives alongside other cats and may be playful or simply tolerant with feline companions.

Cricket is the tiniest little thing and oh so sweet. He is currently in foster care in Pawtucket, RI where he is being exposed to children, dogs and other cats. He is being fostered with his sister Raven (his brother Mouse is also available for adoption). Cricket is a purr machine, he just melts with affection. This little guy doesn’t give ‘main character’ energy- he more likes the supporting roles. He looks like he is perhaps the runt of the litter and definitely has a very slender physique. But again, what Cricket lacks in size he makes up for in purr power! This little guy is such a treasure and we hope he ends up finding an amazing home to call his own.

If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website www.fohari.org and email my foster parent for more information:

Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us. Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption. weeks as of

If you are looking for an adorable, sweet, loving, playful, active kitten, Faxi is your guy. Found on the streets at 5 months old, Faxi was congested and had a head tilt. Upon bringing him to the vet it was found that he had a polyps in his right ear that was causing him to tilt his head to one side, and was also causing congested sound he was hearing. He has had surgery to remove the polyps and is recovering nicely in his foster home. His head tilt only makes him look cuter, but should resolve itself in time. He will do fine in a home with kids and other cats. He has not been introduced to dogs. He will make a great addition to your home and provide you with much entertainment.

Faxi was born around April 14, 2026, and is currently being fostered in Waterbury. He is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

This medium-sized beauty has an easygoing nature paired with plenty of energy. She is happiest when she can be involved in daily life, whether she is keeping you company during a quiet afternoon, trailing behind you as you move around the home, or requesting another round of affection. For someone who enjoys a social cat with a big personality, Machiavelli can bring plenty of warmth, amusement, and lively conversation to each day!

Machiavelli is an indoor-only cat, and her new family will need to continue giving her a safe, enriching life indoors. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known health issues.

Because Machiavelli seeks lots of attention and prefers not to compete with other cats for affection, she is looking for a loving home where she can shine as the solo cat and soak up all the companionship she craves. She has not been around children or dogs, so her compatibility with them is unknown. A caring environment where she can be the center of feline attention would suit her beautifully!

With her friendly spirit, chatty nature, and enthusiastic devotion to her people, Machiavelli is ready to make everyday routines feel a little more entertaining. She is the kind of companion who will make sure you rarely feel alone and always know when it is time for cuddles.

Could this affectionate, talkative tabby be the joyful companion you have been hoping to welcome into your family? To learn more about adopting Machiavelli, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Cricket, a handsome gray and tan tabby boy, is the resident belly-rub enthusiast! Once he feels comfortable, he wants nothing more than to settle onto a lap, face forward for television time, expose his tummy, and collect as much affection as possible. Belly rubs, neck scratches, sweet conversation, and his favorite pink toy mouse are among his greatest pleasures! When he cannot find his person or feels attention is overdue, Cricket even produces an adorable little “dissatisfied grunt” to summon assistance.

Daphne, a beautiful gray tabby and white girl, has her own charming communication system. She makes a tiny, high-pitched peep when she cannot find her person or would like more attention. She is also developing quite a passion for burrowing beneath blankets and shirts, because apparently ordinary snuggling simply is not close enough! Jingly balls, wand toys, cozy hidey holes, and lap time keep this affectionate girl very happy.

Both kittens are sensitive and shy at first, but their playful sides emerge as they become comfortable. They romp with other cats and can be wonderfully rambunctious together! Neither particularly enjoys being picked up, so a family who lets affection happen on their terms will help them continue building confidence.

Most importantly, Cricket and Daphne have a special bond. Their companionship helps these sensitive kittens feel secure, and they need to be adopted together so they can continue experiencing new adventures side by side.

They are friendly with other cats and suitable for calm, respectful older children. Both are shy around dogs and prefer keeping their distance. They need an indoor-only, peaceful, patient home with plenty of affection, play, companionship, and time to adjust.

Cricket is neutered, and Daphne’s spay is being scheduled. Both are up to date on vaccinations and have no known health concerns. Is there room on your lap for two sweet little shadows who plan to stay close? To learn more about adopting Cricket and Daphne together, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

And hugs are serious business for Dennis. Being held and snuggled is one of his favorite things, and he enjoys spending time near his people. If he finds himself alone, he may quietly call once or twice until he locates his favorite humans. Then comes the affection!

Dennis also has plenty of kitten energy. He loves chasing, climbing, play fighting with other cats, and pursuing toys tossed across the room. His funniest obsession is the fuzzy fabric he has enthusiastically removed from fluffy toys. Once Dennis has liberated one of these treasured scraps, he will happily race around carrying his prize, apparently convinced he has discovered the greatest toy ever invented!

This social boy is friendly with other cats and would benefit from feline companionship or a family with someone home regularly. He is gentle and comfortable with children of all ages. His compatibility with dogs is unknown because he has not had enough experience with them yet. Dennis needs an indoor-only loving home where he can have time to adjust, plenty of play, companionship, and, naturally, an excellent supply of cuddles.

Dennis is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, with no known health concerns. His combination of sweetness, silliness, and affection promises plenty of joyful moments for the family who welcomes him.

Ready for tiny squeaks, serious eye contact, spirited kitten games, and armfuls of Dennis snuggles? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about adopting Dennis!

For all that independence, Charlie has a wonderfully affectionate side. When she is feeling especially content, she turns into a champion biscuit maker, kneading away while her purr motor provides the soundtrack! She enjoys being held, seeks out affection, and has even started experimenting with laps. Her current technique is delightfully Charlie: settle comfortably just a few inches away, then occasionally decide that climbing aboard might actually be pretty nice.

Friendly with family and strangers, Charlie is also comfortable and gentle with children of all ages. She is accustomed to other cats and would be compatible with feline companions, but her confidence means she can also be placed on her own. Her compatibility with dogs is unknown because she has not had enough experience with them yet.

Charlie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, with no known health issues. She needs an indoor-only loving home with a family who will give her time to adjust while continuing to offer plenty of play, affection, companionship, and opportunities to explore safely. She will even bring along her favorite bed and toys to help make her transition more familiar.

With her playful confidence, impressive biscuit-making skills, and charming combination of independence and affection, Charlie is ready to bring laughter, purrs, and lively adventures to her next chapter! Could this spirited little tabby be the new companion your family has been waiting to meet? To learn more about adopting Charlie, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

How would you describe the cat's general personality?
Frankie is the definition of a lap cat. He is an A+ snuggler and loves being pet. While he is very social, he is not at all overwhelming. He is a gentle presence with an incredible purr.
Does the cat enjoy being pet?

Yes, he loves being pet.

If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet?

He prefers his cheeks, head, and back.

Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched?

Not that I've noticed.

Does the cat come on your lap?

Yes, he enjoys sitting in laps and he loves laying on your chest if you're laying down.

Does the cat like to be held?

He doesn't mind it, but it doesn't seem to be his favorite thing.

Does the cat sleep in your bed?

Yes, he does. He will lay on your chest while you're sleeping or lay next to you throughout the night.

Does the cat seek your attention?

Definitely, but not in an annoying way. He can definitely "read the room" -- he'll seek attention when you're sitting or relaxing.

Does the cat like to play?

Yes, but it's not as high on the list as snuggling.

What are the cat's favorite games and toys?

He will bat around a mouse on a string, but isn't super playful.

How vocal is the cat?

He is not very vocal; he might do a quiet "chirrup" when he enters a room you're in, but otherwise very quiet.

What kinds of sounds does the cat make?

Does the cat scratch a scratcher?
If no, please explain.

Not that I've seen, but I have been encouraging it.

Does the cat always use the litter box?
If no, please explain.

Yes, he always uses the litter box.

What food and frequency is the cat currently eating?

He eats Fancy Feast seafood (wet food) 3x a day. No dry food and no treats.

Is the cat picky about food?

No, he inhales his food in about 10 seconds.

What is the cat's favorite treat?

I haven't given him any treats as the instruction was to stick to wet Fancy Feast.

What medication is the cat on, and how is it administered?

N/A.

Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances?

Only one time when he just arrived and was overwhelmed. After the first day, never!

Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you?

No

Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you?

No

Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)?
No
To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful?

He is slightly cautious, but warms up very quickly.

If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on?

I haven't observed him with other animals.

Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions?
He takes laying on top of any horizontal person very seriously.
In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt?
If you want a gentle, snuggly cat with a relaxing purr, Frankie is your guy. He'll keep you warm on long winter nights and make sure you're never watching TV alone.
What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them?

He will try to eat food that's left out overnight (even if it's wrapped in packaging). Keep all food in cabinets, and you're good to go!

Meet and greets are with an approved application by appointment only.

As always, cats that are ready to be adopted are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate shots, are micro-chipped, dewormed/deflead, and FEL/FIV tested.

Little Boy is a huge sweetheart who wants to be part of everyday life! He thrives on frequent attention and a predictable routine where he can follow his people, chat about important cat business, and settle nearby for some quality togetherness. He enjoys firm petting, playful tussling, brushing, and, amusingly, a good rump pat! When he has had enough attention, he communicates politely by holding or gently pushing a hand away. Sometimes, when affection ends too soon, he will even pull your arm back toward him!

This social boy loves food-shaped catnip toys, rope, hair ties, resting, following people, and being followed himself. He has also mastered the charming habit of sitting at the table like an invited dinner guest! Visitors get to see his confident, friendly side, too.

Little Boy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He has a history of anxiety and recently received dental care. His family should be prepared to continue supporting his veterinary, food, grooming, and litter needs.

His litter box habits are an important part of understanding what Little Boy needs. He reliably uses his boxes for bowel movements but frequently urinates in a standing, marking position, sometimes spraying the nearby wall. Stress and environmental changes appear to play an important role. Notably, after moving into a new home previously, his spraying stopped completely for about two months. It later increased alongside dental pain, reduced access to the home, and, more recently, sharing his environment with a dog. His spraying has improved significantly during periods of reduced stress and consistent routines, so a calm, stable environment would be best. He needs at least two very large boxes, including a large covered option, softer litter, and consistent daily cleaning.

Little Boy needs to be the only animal in his new family. He has not adjusted comfortably to cats or dogs, and his compatibility with children is unknown. A pet parent who is home most of the day, such as someone retired, working from home, or living in a multigenerational family, could give this people-loving boy the companionship he craves.

Could this talkative, affectionate gentleman be your new table guest, brushing buddy, and constant companion? To learn more about adopting Little Boy, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Gwynnie is a people-loving girl who knows how to make cuddle time extra special! Settle into a comfy spot, and she may climb onto your lap and begin making her adorable “happy paws,” kneading away while enjoying your company. She does not particularly enjoy being held, but she loves choosing closeness on her own terms. She can be shy initially, then blossoms into a friendly companion once she feels comfortable. She has a special fondness for men and happily gravitates toward the men in her family.

When Gwynnie is ready for action, she makes her intentions charmingly clear by bringing her favorite toy to her people! She loves chasing toys up and down the stairs, relaxing on her cat perch, enjoying treats, and enthusiastically celebrating wet food. Life with Gwynnie offers a delightful combination of playful bursts, cozy lap time, and plenty of feline personality!

Gwynnie needs to be the only cat in her new loving home. She has become increasingly uncomfortable sharing her environment with other cats, including hissing, swatting, and occasional marking outside her litter box. However, there's wonderful news! Since being given her own separate space away from the other cat, Gwynnie has stopped marking entirely and consistently uses her litter box. This encouraging improvement suggests that a calm, cat-free environment may help her maintain these positive habits.

Gwynnie has no bite history and has not shown aggression toward people. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is compatible with calm, respectful, school-age children and older. Her compatibility with dogs has not been assessed. A gradual transition, beginning in a comfortable contained space before expanding her access, will help her settle in.

Gwynnie needs a family who enjoys companionship and can spend plenty of time with her. Could this happy-pawed, toy-delivering girl be the companion ready to brighten your days? To learn more about adopting Gwynnie, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!
