Kitten (4 months 17 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Bombay / Mixed (medium coat) · 24 mi from Fort Lawn

Meet Golden Snitch!Four months old. Professional cuddler. Former roadside fugitive.G Snitch wasn’t exactly looking for a home when he was found. He was a small feral kitten found in the middle of a busy road, and thankfully someone decided his tiny life was worth stopping for.(Yep, that’s me - his foster mom!I knew he was he was special when I looked down at him on the road, and he looked into my eyes and, I mean, deep into my eyes!)At first, G Snitch wasn’t convinced this whole “human” thing was going to work out.In fact, it took 19 DAYS before he finally purred.NINETEEN. DAYS. (My 8-year-old daughter got the first purr)But once he figured out that humans could mean soft beds, a full belly, gentle scratches, cuddles, and feeling safe...

7. Gonzo

6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hi, I’m Gonzo —and if you’re looking for a kitten who has never met a stranger, congratulations, you found me!

I was left in a crate on the curb outside a pet store with my siblings, Fozzie Bear and Kermit, but thankfully we ended up somewhere that showed us just how wonderful people can be.

I absolutely love people and will happily accept all the pets, cuddles, and attention you’re willing to give me. I’m also a high-energy little guy who loves to play, so there’s never a dull moment when I’m around!

Because I’m such a social boy, I’d do best with another kitty friend in my forever home. I need someone who can keep up with my playful antics when my humans need a break.

8. Bruce Wayne

2 Months 26 Days · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Identity: Bruce Wayne (Don't tell the Joker!)
Status: Seeking permanent Bat Cave.

By day I'm a charming, sleek black kitten enjoying the finer things - like high end wet food, deluxe catio with panoramic views and sprawling across a warm lap. But by night, I protect the bedroom from the laser light, crumpled paper, and the unsuspecting bug.

Read more about Bruce Wayne

Unlike the Dark Knight, I'm not a loner. I'm affectionate and vocal for wet food, snuggles and your company. My purr engine works great against your warm body during naps and nighttime. I'm ready to find my permanent sidekick (or two) to share life! I'm accustomed to wearing my cowl (metaphorically speaking) and ready to bring peace, justice, and lots of cuddles to your home. ❤️

Ideal Batcave: Somewhere with plenty of high perches to survey the city, steady supply of treats, and humans that will love me forever.

9. Pinecone

6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hey there, I’m Pinecone! Think of me as the deluxe, extra-large edition of my buddy GOAT!

I’m a playful, attention-loving guy who believes laps were invented specifically for me. If you’re sitting down, I’m sitting on you. If you’re offering affection, I’m accepting it. And if you have treats? Well, those are MINE, thank you very much! I may offer a tiny protest if someone tries to steal my snacks. A guy has to have standards!

I love playing, soaking up attention, and cuddling with my favorite humans. I’ve got a big personality to match my size, and I’m always ready to bring some fun into your day.

10. Goat

6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hey, I’m GOAT — Greatest Of All Tuxedos!

I’m a guy who can’t decide whether I want to play with you or demand affection, so naturally, I choose BOTH! I love wrestling with my kitten siblings, chasing toys, and having a grand old time. Sometimes the bigger cats steal my toys, but I’m a gentleman and don’t make a fuss.

I’m a good eater, a reliable litter box user, and I take my nightly treats VERY seriously. But my favorite time of day might just be bedtime. If you’re holding a book or phone, prepare for me to wedge myself directly between you and it. Your screen time is over, human. It’s GOAT time!

Once I’ve successfully claimed your attention, I’ll snuggle up beside you like the sweet little lovebug I am.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate tuxedo kitten who doubles as a personal cuddle assistant and professional distraction, I’m your GOAT! ❤️

12. Dangle

4 Years · Male · Domestic Long Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hi, I’m Dangle —a distinguished gentleman who was found wandering the dorms of Shaw AFB, apparently after a long and successful career in outdoor exploration.

After living the outdoor life, I’ve made an important discovery: people, dogs, and other cats are actually pretty fantastic! Honestly, I should’ve tried indoor living sooner.

These days, I specialize in the finer things—cozy naps, getting attention, and keeping a very close eye on the dinner schedule. I may look distinguished, but make no mistake: when it’s time to eat, I will absolutely be your most dedicated alarm clock.

I also have a playful side that occasionally appears when the mood strikes. Because even distinguished gentlemen need to cut loose every now and then.

15. Waffle Fry

4 Months 12 Days · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hi, I’m Waffle Fry —and just like my brother Spicy Chicken Nugget, I started out with a little more seasoning than necessary.

I was found and brought in by my colony caretaker alongside my brother, and while he was busy being a tiny 1-pound ball of anger, I was also learning that humans weren’t so bad after all.

These days, we’re both much less spicy and much more sweet and snackable. I’m still a little cautious around loud noises and fast movements, but I’m learning to trust and enjoy the good life.

And just like my brother, I’m pretty easily bribed with Churu treats and toys. Honestly, who needs complicated relationship-building techniques when you have snacks?

I may have started out as a little Waffle Fry with some attitude, but now I’m ready to be your sweet, lovable side dish for life.

17. Stealth Mode

5 Months 16 Days · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hi, I’m Stealth Mode —and despite my name, there is absolutely NOTHING stealthy about the way I attack a laser pointer!

I’m a playful, affectionate guy with enough energy to run laps through the house like I’m training for the Feline Olympics. And when that little red dot appears? Game. ON. I will chase it with such dedication that I occasionally make myself dizzy. No regrets.

When I’m not busy zooming around, I’m a sweet boy who loves affection and being around my people. Basically, I’m equal parts cuddlebug and tiny tornado.

Hi, I’m Peg Leg ☠️—and I’m basically an overwhelming pool of affection!

I love nothing more than sleeping on the people I love, and the second you touch me, my purr motor starts up. I’m a professional snuggler who believes personal space is highly overrated.

I may have a pirate-worthy name, but I don’t steal treasure—I give it away one purr and one kiss at a time!

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate girl who will happily turn you into her favorite pillow, I’m your Peg Leg!

3 Months 10 Days · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 32 mi from Fort Lawn

Hi, I’m Flapper —a soft and shy girl with the most beautiful amber eyes you’ve ever seen!

The vivid amber markings on my head match my eyes perfectly, and they carry a little story from my past. I may be shy at first, but there’s definitely a sweet girl hiding underneath.

Want to see my personality come out? Bring me a treat! Suddenly, I’m a whole different cat! I’ll happily purr when you pet me, and once I’m comfortable, I love to play.

I’m a little particular about my play style, though—I prefer all four paws on the ground. No fancy acrobatics for me! When I’m not playing, you’ll usually find me enjoying a cozy nap or soaking up some sunshine by the window.

I have the most gorgeous penny-colored eyes, and when you give me pets, I’ll reward you with the loudest, happiest purrs around.

I love hanging out in my cat tree and snuggling with my siblings, but I’m also perfectly happy doing my own thing. I’m sweet, self-reliant, and know exactly how to enjoy the best of both worlds!

Adopting a cat in Fort Lawn

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.

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.
