A sweet boy from humble beginnings. He knew to find help at the right place - a local hospital! He is sweet and purry with a particular fondness for Churu.

6. Diva
My name is Diva or little Diva. Right now I’m a tiny, petite girl. Despite being a kitten I’m fairly shy
but love to snuggle and purr. I need a little time to adjust to new people. I like some cats, but I tend to stay away from the super energetic ones that want to play all the time. They are a bit too much for me. I would do best with a calm dog and older children that have had experience with cats before.

8. Raspberry
My name is Raspberry. I'm a very shy girl. While I adjust and get used to you, I will sit very still in your lap. I do enjoy ear scratches, but you have to move slowly or I get scared. I was with three siblings growing up but I mostly keep to myself. I am looking for a quiet home with plenty of love and patience for me to feel comfortable. This will help me to grow and thrive into the cat I know I can be. A cat buddy that likes to nurture and be loving toward me would be a plus.

Imagine coming home to him everyday?

17. Chella
Most of my time has been spent with my two brothers (Crowley and Pier). This has led me to develop a very confident approach to life. I walk around like I own the place because I have to! I am slender and quick on my feet. My confidence has moments of doubt when sudden, loud noises startle me. My tail poofs up but I quickly get it together and realize there is no threat. I explore any and everything, so I need a safe place to gather all my information for hide and seek. I am not the first one to the dinner bowl, but I am not shy about pushing my brothers out the way so I can eat. I love pets but I am not into being held for long periods at this point in my life since I am a bit of a busybody and need to know what is going on at all times.

18. Pier
I am the outgoing sibling to Crowley and Chella. I've never met someone I couldn't charm! I love to chase and wrestle. Once I get to know you, I am a cuddle bug. I gladly push my way to the front of the food line when I hear that pop top to the food can!!! I can sleep anywhere and I love stretching out in my space. I never let anyone see me scared and I can run faster than my siblings - hence my love of chase. My second favorite is wrestling, so it may be a good idea to adopt me with a buddy. If not, be prepared to spend lots of time playing with me. I love spring toys and the little mice my foster mom has provided. I carry the springs around and won't let anyone else take them from me. Oh and I love seeing how high I can jump and what I can get into.

19. Crowley
Initially my name was Crawlspace - as it may suggest I may be a bit of a daredevil. I got up under a house and screamed until I was captured and brought to safety. It has not dampened my curiousity or spirit! I was reunited with my two siblings (Pier and Chella) to play and get into mischief together. I never miss a meal and can get a little zesty with the water bowl. My foster mom says it's not a foot wash station, but it does work well for that! If I had to describe my perfect new home, I would say I want somewhere I can roam and explore safely. While a buddy would be nice for me to play around with, I am not super attached to my siblings. A cozy bed is nice, but I can sleep just about anywhere! I want someone who enjoys holding me, petting me, listening to my purrs and then letting me run off to play. What I bring to the table is joy and fun.

Adopting a cat in Rowesville
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.
