2. Eve
Eve came into rescue as a singleton kitten at just a couple weeks old. Found by a Good Samaritan, she was bottle-fed for several weeks before transitioning to wet food which she now loves. Despite being the youngest and smallest in a house full of resident and foster kitties, she absolutely rules the roost. She’s confident, brave, and knows what she wants.
Read more about Eve
Eve spends most of the day playing with her foster siblings and bossing them around then loves snuggling into bed at night with a cozy blanket and her foster mama. She is all black with soft, fuzzy fur and greenish-yellow eyes. She’s about 3 months old but is on the petite side and I believe she’ll be a small cat once fully grown.
She hasn’t been exposed to dogs or small humans but would likely do fine with either as long as slow, respectful introductions took place. She would LOVE a friendly resident kitty in her forever home to show her the ropes and make her more comfortable with the transition. In her foster home, she has six kitty friends and she adores them!
Eve uses the litter box perfectly. She keeps herself very clean. She is spayed, vaccinated (rabies), and has been dewormed. She’s ready to go home today!!

When it comes to meeting other kitties, Elara is all curiosity and confidence. She walks right up to her new feline friends and gives them a good sniff. She’s not one to hide from people, either! In fact, she’ll happily follow everyone around to make sure she gets her fair share of attention.

12. Opie
Meet Opie!
Opie is a 12-week-old male kitten with a plush, solid blue-gray coat, enormous ears, and bright golden-green eyes. He's a velvet-colored little shadow with absolutely no concept of personal space — which is exactly how he likes it. If you've been looking for a cat who will narrate your entire day, chase a wand toy until he tips over, and then fall asleep on your chest mid-sentence, you've found him.
Read more about Opie
Opie is a professional cuddler. His favorite place in the world is directly on your chest, chin tucked under yours, purring like a small motor. He seeks out laps, shoulders, and the warm spot right next to you on the couch. He isn't a "sit nearby" cat — he's an "on top of you" cat, and he fully commits. He also handles being picked up, held, and snuggled with zero complaints, which makes him a wonderful fit for anyone who wants a hands-on, affectionate companion.
When he isn't snuggling, Opie is a playful goofball. Wand toys, crinkle balls, cardboard boxes, and your shoelaces are all equally thrilling to him. He does the classic kitten sideways-hop, sprints the length of the hallway for no particular reason, and plays hard right up until the moment he crashes. He's also wonderfully vocal and expressive — he chirps, trills, and chats throughout the day, greeting you at the door, commenting on breakfast, and announcing when it's time for cuddles. His face is every bit as expressive as his voice, so you always know exactly what he's thinking.
Opie is great with other cats, too. He plays beautifully with his foster housemates and reads feline social cues well, so he'd be delighted to join a home with a resident cat — especially a playful friend close to his own energy level. His ideal home is an indoor-only one with plenty of play time and enrichment, and people who find a talkative cat charming rather than chatty. He'd be a great match for families with kids, first-time cat adopters, or anyone working from home who could use a devoted desk supervisor.

15. Wilfie & Winnie
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

16. Winnie & Wilfie
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

25. Iskra
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.
26. Wyx
Meet Wyx!
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!
Could you be my forever family?

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!

The lady who found them was unable to keep them and she turned to one of our fosters for help. During the transfer, FLORA's mom (Tipsy) escaped and has not been found. This sweet baby however has flourished in her loving foster home and is ready to find her very own Forever Family!! FLORA is a sweetheart who may be initially shy, but she'll quickly get past that! She's playful, loving and full of kitten energy!
If you're interested in meeting adorable FLORA, please EMAIL info@ffhsv.org or go ahead and fill out an application to adopt, at the Link above! If you see her during a stay at the Jones Valley Petsmart, you may also call herfoster direct from their cage card!

Read more about Oreo
OREO was an adorable singleton kitten at Huntsville Animal Services this summer, who needed rescuing and a buddy of his own. He was pulled to join cute little SNICKERS who was found with an injured ear and in need of vet care and rescuing. Young kittens definitely need companionship and these two are the cutest, silliest pair! They will provide great entertainment and they LOVE people. They have not yet been formally introduced to the older cats although a couple of the adult cats have sneaked in to meet them and no drama occurred. They should blend well into most any home! SNICKERS & OREO are VERY bonded – we do want them to be Adopted Together!
If you're interested in meeting adorable SNICKERS & OREO, please EMAIL info@ffhsv.org or go ahead and fill out an application to adopt, at the Link above! If you see them during a stay at the Jones Valley Petsmart, you may also call their foster direct from their cage card!

Adopting a cat in Chattanooga
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.
