Read more about Phoenix

Phoenix, is a petite, fluffy gray tabby with a heart as sweet as her soft fur! This lovely 7–9-year-old girl is a laid-back, timid soul who takes her time warming up to new people, but once she chooses you, it’s something special. Phoenix enjoys spending much of her day snoozing in a cozy hiding spot and comes out to play when the house gets quiet at night. She’s happy to entertain herself with anything small enough to catch her paws, but one of her favorite things is curling up on the bed and keeping your feet warm with her cuddles. Phoenix prefers affection on her own terms, so you may need to seek her out for some love until she feels comfortable enough to come asking for pets herself. She currently lives with another cat, two small dogs, and a toddler, whom she mostly ignores. Because she’s sensitive to loud noises and enjoys a peaceful environment, Phoenix would likely thrive in a quieter home where she can relax, settle in at her own pace, and blossom into the affectionate companion she’s meant to be. If you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, Phoenix may just decide you’re her person!

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?

Read more about Mittens

Meet Mittens, a beautiful 5-year-old Domestic Long Hair with extra toes!!! She is a gorgeous white, dark brown, and black coat and an especially sweet personality! Mittens is a calm, medium-energy girl who enjoys being playful but is happiest spending time with her people and soaking up affection. She loves following her favorite humans out to the garden and hanging out nearby before happily making her way back home. Mittens is very friendly with people, even those she doesn’t know, and has shown herself to be a smart, easygoing, and easy-to-care-for companion. She would likely do best as the only cat in her home, as she can be uncomfortable around other cats. Mittens has an adventurous side and enjoys spending time outdoors, so her ideal home would be a safe, quiet property away from busy roads where she can have supervised or secure indoor/outdoor access. A screened-in porch or another safe outdoor space would also be wonderful for her. If you’re looking for a beautiful, affectionate companion who will happily keep you company around the garden and then come home for some love, Mittens may be your perfect match!

Meet Alice! Alice is a beautiful 4.5-month-old long-haired tortoiseshell kitten with a personality as big as her gorgeous coat! This little girl is incredibly active, playful, and always ready for her next adventure. Alice absolutely loves wet food and can never resist a good wand toy. But her favorite activity of all is curling up on your chest while playing cat games on your phone. She’s the perfect combination of silly, playful, and cuddly! Alice does have some special needs. She has a breathing issue that doesn’t slow her down one bit - it just makes her sound like she's snoring. She’s also a little snorty and has a small wobble, losing her balance at times, but neither keeps this happy girl from living life to the fullest. She is a busy, playful kitten who doesn’t let anything stand in her way. Alice loves everyone - cats, dogs, and kids! She would love a home where she can play, cuddle, be spoiled with wet food, and be someone’s very special little girl.

Say hello to Pixie! Pixie is a 3-year-old beautiful, Domestic Long Hair fluffy girl with a sweet-but-sassy personality and the biggest, most expressive eyes - you can’t help but think of a little owl when she looks at you! Her coat is incredibly soft and fluffy, making her resemble a Norwegian Forest Cat. Pixie loves being around her people, but she’s very much an “affection on my terms” kind of girl. She isn’t a big snuggler or lap cat, but she enjoys being nearby, hanging out with you, and getting some pets when the mood strikes. She’s the perfect companion for someone who appreciates an independent kitty who still wants to be part of the family.

When it’s playtime, Pixie is all in! She loves feather wands, anything with a bell, and chasing her toy mice around the house. Pixie is also a very clean little lady and takes pride in keeping herself tidy. At mealtime, she’s a crunchy-food girl through and through—she loves her dry food and isn’t particularly impressed by canned food. Pixie’s ideal home: She would do best with older children and no dogs. She does fine with other cats and would be happy in a home that understands her independent, sassy little spirit. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, entertaining companion who will keep you company, make you laugh, and occasionally grace you with some Pixie-approved affection, this sweet and sassy girl might be the one for you!

9. Taylor & Tyalar

Russian Blue / Mixed (long coat) · 99 mi from Chattanooga

This is Taylor and Tyalar both female essentially identical and they are about 6 months old. They were trapped from part of the feral population that is in our neighborhood.

They have come a long way in warming up to domestic life and are really sweet. They are a beautiful gray almost blueish color, just really really pretty.

They've been fostered not only with their siblings, Tabitha, and Tate, but another litter also trapped in the neighborhood. They are being fostered in a home with large dogs, small dogs, and multiple other adult cats.

Read more about Taylor & Tyalar

They are in a busy home with a very busy 6 year old and don't seem to mind. They are smart, gorgeous, and definitely have loved sleeping with their people. They are litter box trained and will make an awesome addition to any family.

I visually cannot tell them apart at all and only know who is who by picking them up because for some reason Tyalar makes a weird grumbling, talking noise the entire time you're holding her, lol. She doesn't try to get away she just talks about it the whole time. They have a very strong bond, typically they are ALWAYS together. As they have aged they are being a bit more independent from each other, but are still pretty bonded.

They are both spayed and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations.

Point of interest: Tyalar developed pneumonia after her spay and became extremely ill she was hospitalized and treated at our vet where she responded to treatment. She has recovered beautifully and is a normal 6-7 month old little girl. During her hospital course she was found to have a pretty significant heart murmur and is now on medication that she will need to be given daily. The veterinarian is cautiously optimistic that there is a possibility that she may grow out of it, but is not positive. She will need to follow up and be monitored. She will come with all of her medical records and depending on your location you can either continue follow up with her current veterinarian or transfer care to your provider.

11. Neko

Male · Russian Blue / Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 99 mi from Chattanooga

Meet Neko.
Also known as Sweet Boy.

This gorgeous boy was rescued on a full moon and the coldest night of the year roaming alongside our two neighborhood peacocks. He’s estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old and resembles a Nebelung breed cat. Nebelung translates to “creature of the mist”…
Sweet boy would do best in a loving, consistent environment with other animals as he has only shown loving interest towards our other cats and our 13 year old pit bull.
He’s slow to warm, but eventually melts.

Read more about Neko

One of my favorite things about him is how he leans into you like a bull dog when you pet him. He also has a perfect black heart of a nose and likes to boop your forehead with his.
Under that mysterious resting wolf-face is a very silly, dedicated boy that wants to hang by your side and be reminded how good he is.
Window seats, Churus, paper balls, sitting next to the radio(oldies) and weekly combings are a few of his favorite things.

Caring for a long-haired cat

Long coats need regular grooming: brushing a few times a week, and every day when they shed in spring, stops knots and mats from forming and cuts down on hairballs.

Get them used to it gently, with short sessions and a treat afterward. A wide-toothed comb and a soft slicker brush handle most coats.
