6. Aj
Adult · Male · Munchkin / Selkirk Rex (medium coat) · 90 mi from Cleveland


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 When I first meet you, I can be a bit shy and withdrawn, but once I learn to trust and feel comfortable in my new home, I can be sociable, affectionate, and enjoy my human company.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.
Read more about Aj
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.

7. Phoenix
Adult (7 years 11 months) · Female · Domestic Long Hair / Tabby / Mixed (long coat) · 76 mi from Cleveland




Phoenix is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home. Please visit https://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply.
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!

I love chasing feathers on a string, batting marbles around, and even attacking those mysterious feet moving under the blankets.

10. Sweet Pea
Adult · Female · Siamese (short coat) · 64 mi from Cleveland




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.

A screened-in porch or another safe outdoor space would also be wonderful for her.

24. Chip
Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 99 mi from Cleveland








Chip, Tiny Explorer, Full-Time Sidekick
Chip has been through more than most, but you’d never know it by the way she carries herself. After being rescued from a house fire where she and other cats were left behind, Chip decided life was still meant to be lived fully, and she does exactly that every single day.
She’s confident, social, affectionate, and full of personality. The kind of kitten who doesn’t wait for life to come to her, she walks right into it.
And honestly… she’d probably tell you that herself:
Hi. I’m Chip.
I’ll be the one greeting you at the door, yes, every time. You’re welcome.
Read more about Chip
I don’t really do the whole ‘hiding under the couch’ thing. I prefer a strong entrance. Tail up, little strut, tiny meow… make eye contact… you get it.
People? Love them. Cats? Also love them.
Honestly, I’m trying to be friends with everyone.
I’m what some call a little shadow. I prefer devoted sidekick.
If you’re walking to the kitchen, I’m coming. If you’re folding laundry, I’m supervising.
If you’re exploring the house, I’ll be exploring with you. I like to know what you’re doing at all times, not because I’m nosy… because I’m invested.
I take my job as Professional Explorer very seriously.
New box? Inspecting it. Cabinet opened? Investigating. Mysterious lizard in the projector? Still tracking the case. I also have the cutest little meow, which I use strategically.
My fur is extremely soft , I’ve been told this is important information.
I love toys, I love people, I love other cats, and I fully intend to befriend every living being in my vicinity.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a confident kitten with personality, curiosity, excellent greeting skills, and strong friendship goals… I’m available!
Check out more photos and videos of Chip here:

25. Poppyseed Bagel
Adult · Female · Bobtail / Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 99 mi from Cleveland






Ms. Poppyseed Bagel is a stunning medium-haired calico bobtail and the proud mama of the Breakfast Club, but dont let the title fool you—this beautiful girl is barely more than a kitten herself.
Estimated to be only 1-2 years old, Ms. Bagel is young, playful, affectionate, and absolutely delighted to be living the indoor life. Now that she no longer has to worry about surviving outside or raising babies on the streets, she finally gets to enjoy being a kitten at heart herself.
Read more about Poppyseed Bagel
She adapted to home life immediately, used the litter box perfectly, rediscovered the joy of toys, and settled right into the comforts of soft beds, regular meals, and human attention. She has an impressive purr motor and seems endlessly happy to finally be safe. And yes, that adorable little bobtail is completely natural.
What truly makes Ms. Bagel special is how incredibly people-oriented she is. She absolutely adores attention and has never met a stranger. Every new person is greeted like an old friend, and she wastes no time trotting over to ask for pets, affection, and admiration. She thrives on human companionship and simply wants to be wherever the love is.
She's very food motivated, but she's wonderfully polite and has never tried to raid food or counters. She gets along well with other cats, especially her kittens, and she'd be happy to be adopted with one of them if you're looking for a pair. That said, she would also make an exceptional solo cat, as her greatest joy comes from bonding with her people and soaking up all the love and attention she can get.
Ms. Bagel is the proud mom of The Breakfast Club—Egg, Cheese, Toast, Donut, and Oatmeal. Ms Bagel adores he babies, and is especially close with Toast, her gentle little daughter. The two share a beautiful bond, and Toast clearly looks to her mama for companionship and confidence. We would absolutely love to see Ms. Bagel and Toast adopted together. While she adores her kittens, she's also perfectly ready to start the next chapter of her life as the center of someone's world.
**We offer a discounted adoption fee when you adopt a pair of kitties!

28. Miso
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 99 mi from Cleveland

Miso is about a year old and pure affection. He follows his people everywhere, rubs against your legs, gives enthusiastic head bumps, climbs into laps, and will absolutely tell you when he needs more attention. He is sweet, social, vocal, and completely obsessed with humans.
We found Miso outside emaciated, anemic, flea-covered, and badly wounded. After food, veterinary care, and lots of love, he made an incredible recovery and is now healthy, happy, and ready for his home.

Miso is FeLV positive, but FeLV does not define him. It cannot spread to humans or dogs. Miso can be an only cat or live with another FeLV+ kitty. He loves people, is interested in other cats, and is also very fond of respectful dogs.
His other great love? Churu. Miso will happily pose for pictures as long as the treats keep coming.
We can't promise how many years Miso will have. Nobody can. But we can promise that the life he has is worth living and worth loving.
Neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines.
Indoor-only home required.

29. Miya
Young (6 months) · Female · Abyssinian / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 99 mi from Cleveland







Meet Miya, Tiny Queen, Big Personality
Don’t let her petite size fool you. Miya is a perfect mix of sweet, sassy, playful, and just a little dramatic.
She absolutely LOVES feather toys and will leap and pounce after them like a tiny lioness. She can be a little shy in a brand-new environment, but once she feels safe, her goofy, curious personality comes right out. She’s affectionate, gentle, and an exceptionally good sport about handling and vet care.
Read more about Miya
Miya’s favorite person in the world is her sister, Mira. They play, nap, explore, and snuggle together, and they bring out the best in each other. Their bond is incredibly special, so Miya and Mira must be adopted together.
At about 7 months old, Miya is still very much a kitten: curious, playful, silly, and happiest when she has her sister beside her and something fun to chase.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and Miya has plenty to say. Check out her album to see this tiny queen showing off:

30. Buttercup
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 99 mi from Cleveland









Buttercup is the sweetest little soul with one very effective way of asking for attention: dramatically flopping onto the floor, rolling onto her back, and presenting her belly for admiration.
At about 1 year old, she's basically a kitten in an adult cat's body. She gets hilarious bunny-hop zoomies, loves toys, laps, cuddles, and has the sweetest little meow for attention or dinner.
Buttercup is incredibly gentle with other cats and genuinely wants to be everyone's friend. She especially loves Powerpuff and Bubbles and would be thrilled to go home with one of them, but she can also make friends with another kind, playful kitty.

After a difficult start, Buttercup is healthy, happy, and finally getting to enjoy being young. All she wants is a cozy lap, some toys, a feline friend, and someone to belly-flop for every day.

Why adopt an adult cat in Cleveland
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
