1. Sweet Pea

Adult · Female · Siamese (short coat)

Hi, my name is Sweet Pea. I’m a 5-year-old seal-point Siamese who had a pretty rough life so far. My mom died and my dad didn’t want me any more. He put me outside and I was living under the porch where I got into a tussle with something. I’m not sure what, but it bit me on the shoulder and it really hurt. It got infected, which hurt even more. At least my dad took me to the vet, but he left me there. I think that was for the best because the vet’s office was so nice. Everyone there petted me and loved on me and called SARG to rescue me! Now I’m in foster care looking for my forever home.
Things you should know about me: I love making biscuits, rubbing up against my person, and I’m quick to purr.

But I’m a little shy with new people. I spend my days watching YouTube for cats! And my nights sleeping under the covers with my foster mom! It keeps me warm and makes me feel safe. But I do like to chase a string toy now and again, and I’ll do just about anything for a treat! My fur is super soft and the patches the doctor had to shave off to make me better are growing in nicely. I’m a little nervous with sudden movements and loud noises, so I would probably do best in a home without children or dogs. If you think you’re the right fit, fill out an application. I’d love to meet you.

2. Raj

Female · Extra-Toes Cat (Hemingway Polydactyl) / Bombay / Mixed (short coat)

Hi everyone, this is Raj!
Raj is a regal, sleek, polydactyl cat, who loves nothing more than a scratch under the chin and a toy to play with. She is incredible pest control, and she loves catching every bug that might enter her domain. She is vocal and isn’t afraid to speak her mind! Although she uses her voice to ask for pets, she is independent and doesn’t yowl for attention or late at night. She has befriended a dog in her home, and would do well in a home with either dogs or other cats.

3. Aries

Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Meet Aries!
Aries is known for being the bravest of the zodiacs, and this kitten certainly lives up to her name! She is the first to walk into a new situation with curiosity. She’s spunky, outgoing, loves being pet, snuggling up on a lap for nap time, is playful, and has the cutest meow you ever did hear. She would do great in a home with children and other pets. She also is great at pest control, and has freed her foster mom’s house of any bugs that sneak through the crack under the door.

Meet Slinky! She is a sweet girl who loves a good pet, and will prove it with her strong purr, and sing-song meows. She is a little shy at first, but once acquainted with someone, is very loving and will come lay on your lap anytime you sit down. Slinky loves other cats, and would probably do best in a home with other cats, since she follows her sisters around everywhere! She has a lot to say, and says it proudly! She is the reason her mother, aunt, and sisters were all rescued in the dark forests of the Smoky Mountains. She used her strong voice to draw attention to the crew. Not only is she sweet, she's also a hero!

Everyone, this is Bonsai!

She is a sweet girl that is just getting used to being loved and cared for. She loves to snuggle with her sisters, play with toys, and eat all the delicious treats her foster mom gives her! She is also getting more used to pets and cant help but purrrrr when she's getting her chin scratched. She is the smallest of her litter, but is mighty and graceful! She would do best in a quiet home, with someone who would be willing to take the time to make her feel comfortable and come out of her shell. She is also more confident around her sisters, so would also probably do best ina. home with other, kind cats! Although she is shy, she is never spicy, and given enough time, will come lay on your lap while you read a book.

9. Wilfie & Winnie

Kitten · Male · Tabby (medium coat)

HI! Hi hi hi! It's me, Wilfie!
Did you hear me? Everybody usually hears me!I'm a gray and tan tabby, six months old and full of things to say. Some people call it talking. I call it communicating. When I say "Hi!", I mean hi. When I say "Mrrrow!" around dinnertime, I mean it's time to eat, right now, please and thank you. I'm not hard to figure out!
My sister Winnie and I started out on a farm in rural Tennessee. At eight weeks old, we came to our first home together, and we've been indoor adventurers ever since. And adventures are my specialty.
Got a box? I'm in it. A tunnel? I'll zoom through it ten times.

Read more about Wilfie & Winnie

Something brand-new that just showed up? I've already sniffed it, batted it, and decided whether it's a toy. (It's usually a toy.) My favorite thing in the whole world is a fishing pole toy. Wave it around and watch me pounce, leap, and grab! I also love kick toys that I can hug tight and bunny-kick into next week. I don't miss a thing. Not one single thing!
But here's a secret: I'm a big snuggler too. I love hanging out with my family, wherever the action is. I like being held, and I really like rubs and pets. If you're scratching my chin, you've got a friend for life.
And Winnie, well, she's my best buddy. We roughhouse like champions, and then we flop down and hang out like nothing happened. If I can't see her, I go find her. Even a tough guy like me needs his sister. Sometimes we each like a little alone time too, but we always end up back together.
Our family's life changed, and they can't give us all the love and playtime we need anymore. So I'm saying it loud and clear, because that's how I say everything: we need a forever family! One with laps for snuggling, toys for chasing, and room in their hearts for TWO.
Love,Wilfie & Winnie

10. Winnie & Wilfie

Kitten · Female · Tabby (medium coat)

Hello there, friend. I'm Winnie. Please excuse me if I peek at you from behind the couch first. That's just how I say hello.
I'm a gray and silver tabby, six months old, with stripes that shimmer a little when the sunlight finds them. My brother Wilfie and I were born on a farm in the rolling hills of rural Tennessee. When we were just eight weeks old, we rode off to our very first home together. We've been indoor kitties ever since, and I think the indoors suits me just fine.
I'm a quiet girl, but I notice everything: the flutter of a curtain, the crinkle of a new bag, the way the light moves across the floor in the afternoon.

Read more about Winnie & Wilfie

If something new comes into the house, I'll be there, a little cautious at first, to give it a thorough inspection. Curiosity is my favorite hobby, right after napping.
And oh, the napping! My favorite spot is the very top of the cat tree, where I can keep watch over my whole kingdom. I also love a good hiding place: a cozy corner, a nook under a blanket, anywhere snug and secret. If you can't find me, I'm probably dreaming somewhere close by.
I do love attention, especially gentle pets once I know you. I also like my quiet time, and I'm happiest with a family who lets me come to them in my own sweet way. I promise the wait is worth it.
Then there's Wilfie. He's loud and bouncy and sometimes a bit much, but he's my Wilfie. We wrestle and chase and tumble until we're both worn out, and then we curl up together like we've always done. When he wanders out of sight, I go looking for him. And I know he does the same for me.
Our family had a change in their lives, and they can't give us the time and love we need anymore. So I'm asking, very softly, the way I ask for most things: will you keep us together? I'd love to find my forever spot at the top of your cat tree.
Love,Winnie & Wilfie

11. Iskra

Female · Tortoiseshell / Mixed (medium coat)

I'm Iskra! Tortitude? Never heard of it! Even though I am a tortie, you wouldn't know it by my personality. I am a quieter, calmer, more sensitive kitten than my brother Wyx and sister Sorel. I still play and explore, and I'm very inquisitive, but I am happiest when being held and pet. I'm scared of dogs with lots of energy, but a calm canine companion would be alright with me! I also get along with all other cats, and like napping with my foster friends! My favorite is climbing, and even when I was really small I was scaling 6 foot cat trees and climbing anything I could. I am hoping for a nice forever home with people who are looking for a kitty with a poet's soul.

A Goofy Little Guy with a BIG Personality!

Well, hello there! My name is Wyx, and I'm a fun-loving, silly little kitten with a whole lot of personality and an even bigger heart!

My foster family says I'm destined to become someone's beloved little boy, and I couldn't agree more! I'm goofy, adventurous, affectionate, and always ready to make you smile with my silly antics.

Playtime is my absolute favorite! Whether I'm chasing toys, pouncing on unsuspecting furry friends, or simply watching all the excitement around me, there's never a dull moment when I'm nearby!

Read more about Wyx

I'm quite a bit bigger than my sisters, Iskra and Sorel, and I'm definitely the brave one of the bunch! I'm not afraid to invite anyone to play, even the grumpiest older cats or the family dog! Sometimes they don't appreciate my enthusiasm, but I just think everyone should have a little more fun!

I absolutely love attention and spending time with my people, but I'm also perfectly capable of entertaining myself. Give me a few toys, and I'll create my own adventures!

Life with my foster family has been wonderful, but there's one thing missing — a forever family to call my very own. ❤️

If you're looking for a playful, confident, affectionate little companion who will fill your home with laughter, love, and endless entertainment, I just might be your perfect match!

Not only do I have gorgeous, one-of-a-kind markings, but I also have a personality that's just as colorful! I'm a playful, spunky little girl with LOTS to say!

I'm quite the chatterbox, and I love telling everyone what's on my mind. Sometimes I even yell at my toys while I'm pouncing on them! After all, those silly toys need to know who's boss!

Read more about Sorel

I'm a social little sweetheart who would absolutely love to be adopted with another kitten or join a family that already has feline friends. I even get along with dogs! They can be a little intimidating when you're as tiny as I am, but I'm learning to be brave!

Right now, I'm enjoying foster life with my sister Iskra and my brother Wyx. We're having a wonderful time growing, playing, and discovering the world together!

25. Theodore

Male · Russian Blue / Mixed (medium coat)

Meet Theodore

Born the first week of May 2026, Theodore had a difficult beginning. He was born to a feral barn cat and sadly lost his mother and two of his siblings to a coyote.

Despite his rough start, Theodore has grown into an incredibly smart, affectionate, and very busy young cat. ❤️ He loves curling up in your arms while you’re sitting and happily settles into your lap in the recliner. He can be an absolute cuddle bug!

Read more about Theodore

Theodore is also a high-energy youngster who needs plenty of playtime, enrichment, and appropriate outlets for all that kitten energy. At times, he can become overstimulated and play too roughly, so he needs someone who understands feline behavior and is willing to help him continue learning appropriate ways to play.

Because of his energy level and tendency toward rough play, Theodore should not be placed in a home with small children. His ideal adopter would be a seasoned, cat-experienced person who can provide consistency, structure, and guidance. He may also benefit from working with a qualified feline behaviorist who can help his adopter better understand his needs and set him up for success.

The good news? Theodore does great with other cats! ❤️ A well-matched feline companion may be a wonderful fit for this social, energetic boy.

Theodore has received veterinary care and is currently being given some additional support to help him settle and thrive.

Theodore is:
✂️ Neutered
Up to date on vaccinations, including rabies
Negative for FIV/FeLV
Great with other cats
Very intelligent
❤️ Affectionate and cuddly
Active, playful, and in need of lots of enrichment
Best in a home without small children
Needs an experienced cat owner

Theodore isn't a bad boy—he's a very busy young cat who needs the right person to understand him. With patience, structure, enrichment, and guidance, we believe this special boy has so much potential to become a wonderful companion. ❤️

Male · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

Meet the sweetest little boy, Tart!

Short for Sweet Tart. He is a ball of energy, all kitten - loving to run around jump and play with his toys. He also likes to take time and be loved; he wants to be held and given head scratches. He is a purr machine; purring as soon as he sees you heading his direction. He’s very gentle when he puts his paws on you, he does not scratch. We estimate him to be around 11 weeks old. If you are looking for a bundle of sweetness and playfulness in the cutest black kitty, then Tart is the one for you.

30. Gnocchi

Young · Male · Domestic Long Hair (long coat)

Meet Gnocchi! Gnocchi is a 7 month old long-haired gray tabby M (DOB about 4/1/26). This little guy is full of energy and confidence. When he was introduced to his foster home, he immediately went into the investigative mode, checking out the other cats, greeting them to show he was not intimidated. He wants to be by his humans all the time. Prepare to be entertained by a big personality! He LOVES everyone as soon as he meets them. He is VERY playful and active. He loves to play with toys or other cats and is never bored. He likes to be held and to snuggle. He gets along well with cats, and we think he'd be great with dogs and kids.

Adopting a cat in Campbell County

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.
