6. Aj
Hello! I’m MAC (DOB: ~07/31/2023), a male Chocolate and White Lambkin, also known as a Nanus Rex, a hybrid cat originally created by crossing the short-legged Munchkin with the curly-coated Selkirk Rex. My outstanding features are my small size, short legs, and soft, beautiful coat, making me a member of one of the rarest cat breeds. When I first meet you, I can be a bit shy and withdrawn, but once I learn to trust and feel comfortable in my new home, I can be sociable, affectionate, and enjoy my human company. I need a devoted cat parent who enjoys spending time with me as much as I enjoy spending time with them.

My grooming requirements aren’t too heavy. This is because my fur is soft, so gentle brushing a few times a week should suffice to keep my coat knot and mat free. And, I love my treats – when I hear you shake the bag, I’ll come running, will eat them all, and will then ask for more – and that’s how you can earn my trust!! I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $350.00.

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!

SHAKESPEARE THEMED MOMMA: Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 8.5 lbs.
Hi, my name is Betty White! I came to Mostly Mutts while I was pregnant, and they got me into a great foster home. Boy, am I glad they did—as I soon gave birth to NINE kittens!

Read more about Betty White
• OTHER CATS/DOGS/KIDS: I don’t currently live with another kitty, but I may enjoy another kitty in my new home. If you have a nice kitty at home who may enjoy a furry friend, we will likely live well together! / Dogs unknown / I love the kids in my foster home (ages 6 & 13). Children in my new home may be nice, since I am a playful kitty. Best they are gentle and know how to handle a kitty, and—of course, let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY INFORMATION: I’m a very sweet girl who enjoys having my own space and doing my own thing! I’ll come over for a minute or two of pets and affection, then I’m off to enjoy my independence. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, independent kitty who will keep you entertained and happily share your home, I might just be your girl!
• SKILLS/LITTER TRAINED STATUS: I keep my area clean, as I am litter trained.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: One of my favorite pastimes is sitting by the window and watching the world go by. When I’m ready to play, look out! I love chasing feathers on a string, batting marbles around, and even attacking those mysterious feet moving under the blankets. I also prefer drinking my water from glass because a girl knows what she likes! / I can't think of any dislikes since I am a kitten, but I would not like it if I didn't get the love and attention all kitties deserve!
• MEDICAL: I'm current on my annual vaccinations, micro-chipped, combo tested negative and spayed.
I am looking for a great family to give me a loving home! My adoption fee is $175.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
10. Arthur
A SWEET AND LOVING GUY: Approx. 2.5 years old / Approx. 12.5 lbs.
Hi, my name is Arthur! I was adopted from Mostly Mutts a couple of years ago, but—unfortunately—changes in my family situation caused me to end up back at Mostly Mutts. They are committed to helping me find a new family to love and be loved by, so plan to meet me soon and see if I am your new furry family member!

• OTHER CATS/DOGS/KIDS: I got along well with the kitties I met in my previous home, so a kitty friend in my new home may be nice. / Dogs unknown / I reportedly liked the kids I met in my previous home, but I don’t remember their ages. Children in my new home may be nice, but best they are gentle and know how to handle a kitty, and—of course, let’s meet!
• PERSONALITY INFORMATION: I may have been a little nervous at the shelter, but once I got into a wonderful foster home and had a chance to settle in, I quickly showed my loving personality! I’d really like to be a lap cat, but I’m a big boy and my foster’s lap is a little on the small side. No worries, though! I’m just as happy snuggling right up against your side and enjoying some cozy time together. All I really want is to be loved, and I have plenty of love to give in return! Affectionate and loving, I welcome attention from my people and will give purrs of appreciation.
• SKILLS/LITTER TRAINED STATUS: I keep my area clean, as I am litter trained.

11. Sweet Pea
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.
Read more about Sweet Pea
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.

12. Raj
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.
13. Aries
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.
14. Slinky
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!
15. Bonsail
Jill Coffey Kelley
Everyone, this is Bonsai!
Read more about Bonsail
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.
16. Burdock
Meet Burdock!
Burdock is named after the seeds that stick to your clothes when you walk by- the seed that inspired the famous velcro design! She absolutely loves to snuggle, especially under the blanket while you are hanging out on the couch. She is playful, loves her sisters and would likely get along with other cats, and attaches quickly to whatever human is in her vicinity.
She would do well in a home with a family who loves giving love.
17. Benny
Meet Benny
He is almost 6mths old orange tabby, neutered and up to date on shots. He loves to play with leaves, other kitties and dogs as well. He pays no mind to my free range chickens when he is outside. He loves the outdoors as much as he loves coming inside, getting cuddles and just chilling. He is litter box trained and enjoys sleeping on the bed!
18. Easter
Calling all Tortie lovers!
Baby Ester is my newest trash to treasure rescue. She is litterbox trained and has had her first round of shots, dewormer, and flea treatment. Spay will be scheduled. She is approximately four months old and weighed 3.4 lbs about a month ago.
Ester is very affectionate and loves to snuggle. She is very social and plays well with other kitties. She is also very docile and nurturing to smaller cats. She has been exposed to a large dog but prefers to stay away.
19. Tiara
Meet Splat, Spot, and Tiara — three adorable bundles of energy who are always ready for their next adventure! These curious little explorers love investigating cardboard boxes, chasing anything that moves, and turning just about everything into a game. But when playtime winds down, they’re happy to snuggle up together for some sweet cuddle time. With their playful antics and love for one another, these three are sure to fill a home with laughter, love, and plenty of kitten fun!

• SKILLS/LITTER TRAINED STATUS: I keep my area clean, as I am litter trained.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I’m always ready for a play session, especially when there’s a wand toy to chase or a crinkle ball to bat around.

• MEDICAL: I've started my kitten shots, but you must finish those for me as I grow. I am microchipped. I'm not yet neutered due to my small size, but it is required and will be done as soon as I grow a little more.

I am looking for a loving home with a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $175.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Hello, my name is Elvira—one of the adorable ‘Monster Mash’ themed kittens!

30. Echo
Meet Echo, a little shy guy is slowly but surely trusting humans. He was born in a 'cat colony' where there is little human touch. After he was trapped, he spent weeks in a foster home where he bonded with other kittens his size but wary of any humans. After a while, he realized where his food and warm blankets were coming from and decided to open his heart a little at a time. At Homeward Bound, he is exposed to numerous people every day and he is coming around. He actually loves to be held closely and climb on your shoulder for a better view of what else is going on around him. He rewards you with loud purrs and every now and then, we get a hint of "biscuit making".

His hair is as soft as down feathers and could stand a brushing but that too will have to wait for another time. He's going to need patience and that's what he's going to get. Echo's vetting needs to be completed in a few weeks. INDOOR ONLY! Adoption fee: $75 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit (unless neutered prior to adoption).~~If you are interested in this animal, you can complete the questionnaire found on the available pets page of our website http://hbpr.org.

How to adopt from The Stray Connection
Potential adopters are required to complete our application before adoption. Our adoption fee varies based on the age and breed of the cat. The fee includes testing for feline leukemia and aids, the series of distemper vaccines, the rabies vaccines, wormings, advantage so they are flea free when you take them home, a veterinary exam, and the spay or neuter. Microchipping is available for an additional $45. The adoption fee is waived for qualifying adopters interested in one of our sponsored cats. At the time of adoption, adopters must sign a contract indicating their willingness to obtain all remaining vaccinations, treatments, and spay or neuter. If a placement doesn't work out (e.g., a family member discovers he/she is allergic), the animal is returned to the Stray Connection and re-adopted.
Adopting a cat in Cleveland
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.
