Read more about Greyson

If you’re looking for a kitten who will actively seek you out for attention, Greyson is your guy. He loves pets so much that he may nibble on your hand or give it a little grab if you dare to stop before he’s ready! Apparently, Greyson believes petting sessions should be extended indefinitely, and honestly, who are we to argue? When he’s not asking for more attention, he’s happy to curl up in your lap and enjoy some quality snuggle time.

Of course, Greyson is still a kitten, which means there’s plenty of playfulness mixed in with all that affection. He loves playing with the other cats in his foster home, whether that means chasing toys, wrestling, or getting into a little mischief. But he doesn’t just want to play with his feline friends—he loves snuggling with them, too! Greyson appreciates having other cats around to share both his adventures and his downtime.

Greyson’s confidence extends to his human and canine friends, too! He does well around small children and is confident when meeting new dogs. His outgoing, social personality makes him a fun little companion who is ready to be part of the family.

Greyson is the whole package: playful, outgoing, affectionate, and just a little bit demanding when it comes to his pets. He would thrive in a home where he has plenty of attention, opportunities to play, and ideally, a friendly feline companion to be his buddy.

Fair warning: If you stop petting Greyson before he’s finished, he may have a few things to say about it.

Greyson is looking for a home with another social kitty. Adoption fee for one kitty is $150 and $225 for two kitties.

Greyson is neutered, up-to-date with age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia.

Estimated Date of Birth: 4/26/2026 Meet Cinnamon, a beautiful little tortie girl with the sweetest, more reserved personality. Cinnamon is definitely the most reserved of her siblings, so she would thrive in a quieter home where she can take her time getting comfortable and let her personality blossom.

With a little patience and a calm environment, we think Cinnamon will become a wonderful companion.

Adopting a cat in Burns

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.
