5. Mr. Magoo
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 46 mi from Clarksville


Mr. Magoo is a special kitty that needs a family to love. It could be congenital but he is likely to be blind at a very young age. We removed one of his eyes on 9 September and as you can see from his pictures, his eye is healing nicely. Unfortunately, you can also see from his picture that his other eye is cloudy and while he can see a little from that eye, it might give out on him soon. I am his foster and he is so gentle and playful. He loves to come and sit in my lap to get love. He lets me medicate his eye but he does not like to have his head petted. Mr. Magoo will likely be completely blind before he is one year old.
Read more about Mr. Magoo
He may or may not need his eye removed but if he does, we will help pay for the surgery. We are hoping that if he does lose sight, he will be able to keep his eye. Blind kittens fair very well and learn the ropes quickly so he will be able to adapt well to any home as long as there is love. If you are interested, please contact me at hchumanesociety2012@gmail.com. I want the best life possible for this brave little fella.

6. Greyson
Kitten (5 months 12 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 41 mi from Clarksville




Estimated DOB 5/5/2026
Greyson has discovered just how wonderful indoor life can be, and he’s embracing it with his whole heart! This once-curious little explorer has blossomed into a confident, social, and incredibly affectionate kitten who wants to be wherever the people are.
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.

7. Kitten Sly
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Clarksville



They only thing “sly” about this young man is his name! There is nothing cunning or deceitful about this sweet boy. In fact, Sly is one of the calmest kitties I have ever taken in. He warmed up to me and to all the other foster kitties almost immediately. He was not fazed by the occasional hiss or growl from the existing fosters - he would just turn and go the other way. I honestly don’t think there is a mean bone in his body!
Read more about Kitten Sly
Born around April 2026, Sly and his litter mate, Gabby Girl, are both friendly little loves. They greet me in their kitty room with both motors running in perfect stereo. Head rubs and ear scratches, please! They patiently wait for me to pull out their favorite wand toy, complete with a bell and feather bird on the end. Sly can jump pretty high, but he is a gentleman and lets Gabby grab it first. Sly is not a big talker nor a big eater. He is just an easy-going kitty and, well, chill. And, oh so handsome! Look at those eyes! Sly has the kindest eyes to go with his gentle personality. From his white, soft fur, to his black tabby stripes, down to his white tip on his tail, he is a real heart-stealer. He has quickly and easily become one of this foster mom’s favorite. This one is a keeper, from head to tail!
Sly passed all his vet tests, received his rabies vaccination and has been neutered. He is healthy and ready to go. How can you resist? Sly may be your perfect match! It will be somebody’s lucky day…..might that be you? Hurry! Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com

15. Butter Cookie
Kitten (11 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 41 mi from Clarksville





Estimated Date of Birth: 10/23/2025
Butter Cookie’s story began with a heartbreaking act of cruelty. Her owner failed to have her spayed, and when she gave birth to a litter of kittens, he planned to put her and her babies in a bag and drown them in a lake. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan learned of his plan that very same day and brought the entire family to Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue. One of our wonderful volunteers stepped up to foster them, giving this little family the safe start they deserved.
Despite such a frightening beginning, Butter Cookie and her newborn babies, whose eyes hadn’t even opened yet, have thrived! And it turns out that Miss Butter Cookie is quite the little lovebug.
She’s also quite the talker! When she isn’t sitting in or near your lap, she’s likely to be close by as you go about your day, keeping you company and supervising your household activities.
Read more about Butter Cookie
And if the food bowl happens to be empty? You can be sure she’ll let you know!
Butter Cookie was likely only 4–6 months old when she gave birth in July 2026. She was still practically a baby herself! Thankfully, she has now been spayed and is ready to enjoy being someone’s beloved companion.
Butter Cookie loves feather toys, Churu treats, and sunny windows. Most of all, she loves being near her people and sharing her affection (and her opinions!) with them.
We aren’t yet sure how Butter Cookie would do with other animals, but we always believe slow, gradual introductions are best when bringing a new pet into the family.
This sweet girl has already overcome so much. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s cherished baby. Could Butter Cookie be the perfect addition to your family?Adoption fee: $150Butter Cookie is spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and is up to date with age appropriate vaccines.

30. Cymbal
Kitten (4 months 23 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 41 mi from Clarksville








Estimated Date of Birth: 4/22/2026
Meet Cymbal!
Cymbal is a beautiful solid-black kitten with a true survivor’s spirit—and you would never know she had such a rough start!
Cymbal and her three “musical” brothers were born in the dirt under a deck and orphaned when they were only a few weeks old. When they were rescued, they were covered in dirt and fleas, and Cymbal’s back legs were too weak to support her.
With good nutrition, a clean environment, a little therapy, and LOTS of love, Cymbal made an incredible transformation. Today, she is happy, playful, thriving, and ready for her forever home! ❤️
Her back legs may still not be quite as strong as her brothers’, so she may not jump quite as high—but that certainly doesn’t stop this determined girl from trying! She runs, plays, explores, and loves romping with her kitten friends.

Her X-rays were also normal, and there is nothing currently preventing Cymbal from living her best kitten life.
Cymbal loves other cats and would love a young feline playmate in her forever home. She has already overcome so much and is ready to find the family who will love her for the amazing little girl she is.
Cymbal is ready to win your heart!Siblings: Fiddle, Trumpet, and BanjoAdoption fee: $150. Adoption fee for two kitties: $225Cymbal is spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and is up to date with age appropriate vaccines.

Adopting a cat with children in Clarksville
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
