Dog-Friendly Cats for Adoption in Cleveland, TN: 30 Cats Good with Dogs

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

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

I love snuggling with CHICKADEE, so I must be adopted with him. I am ok with the dog in my foster home that doesn’t bark at us, but I mostly ignore him. I’m good with the adult cats in my foster home but prefer running and playing with my friends. I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee with CHICKADEE is $200.00

My favorite toys are ping pong balls, any toy with a tail on it so I can carry it around, and soft toys that are big enough for me to practice my cat skills on. When I am tired from playing, I love a lap and having RAVEN to snuggle with. I am very sweet, smart, playful, and calm. I am ok with the dog in my foster home that doesn’t bark at us. I’m also okay with the adult cats. I am spayed, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. Our adoption fee together is $200.00.

I’ve met the dogs in my foster home and I like the one who doesn’t bark a lot. I am also okay with the adult cats. I am spayed, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. Our adoption fee is $200.00.

Sonny is the kind of kitten who shows up first to anything new and has plenty to say about it. This orange and white tabby Domestic Short Hair is about two and a half months old, and he treats the whole world like his personal playground. He is a total ham, always ready to wrestle with his siblings, chase feather wands, and zoom through cat tunnels, and furry mice are fair game too. He is a talker as well, happy to let you know when dinner is running late or when he is due some attention. Between play sessions, he will climb into your lap for a quick cuddle and a few good pets before bounding off to his next adventure.

Sonny gets along well with the other kitties in his foster home and welcomes visitors like old friends. He has not met any dogs yet, but with a proper introduction he should do just fine. Sonny would do well in just about any home, and he would especially enjoy a feline playmate to wrestle and pounce with. If you are looking for an outgoing, playful kitten to keep you laughing, Sonny would love to meet you.

Raine has never met a stranger, and he is fully prepared to prove it with a purr you can hear from across the room. This orange and white tabby is about two and a half months old, and he lives for play and cuddles in equal measure. He is a champion biscuit maker, happily kneading and rubbing all over his favorite soft fuzzy toys, and he is a big fan of his ball tower and feather wands. When he is ready for some love, he will climb up on your shoulder, settle in, and purr so loudly and so often that quiet moments are rare. He is a talker too, and he will gladly let you know when he needs cuddles or a meal.

Raine gets along well with his siblings and the adult cat in his foster home. He greets visitors like long lost friends, ready for pets the second they walk in. He has not met any dogs yet, but with a proper introduction he should do just fine. Raine is happiest in a home that gives him lots of love and attention, and he will make sure you know he is ready for pets the moment you walk through the door. If you are looking for an outgoing, affectionate kitten who will keep you company and keep the purrs coming, Raine would love to meet you.

Storm is a little black whirlwind who believes every toy in the house is his, and he is happy to prove it. At two and a half months old, this domestic short hair treats every day as playtime, flitting from one adventure to the next and checking out everything that comes his way. He loves chasing his siblings, hiding in the cat tunnel, and pouncing on any toy another kitten happens to be eyeing. He is also the first to arrive at the dinner table, so mealtime is a favorite event. He likes to be in charge of the toy box, though he always comes around to sharing in the end. Between adventures, he will stop for a cuddle and purr as loudly as he possibly can before he is off again. Storm plays well with all the kitties in his foster home and is friendly with visitors. He has not met any dogs yet, but with a proper introduction he should do just fine.

Storm would do well in just about any home, especially one with lots of toys and someone ready to play along with his adventures. If you are looking for a spirited, affectionate kitten to keep life interesting, Storm would love to meet you.

Meet Lemmy, a purrrfectly sweet and playful little guy ready to steal your heart! At approximately 12 weeks old, this handsome light orange and white Domestic Short Hair is full of curiosity, cuddles, and kitten mischief. Lemmy loves to chat with you when he sees you and turns on his adorable little purring motor the moment he gets snuggled. When he’s not soaking up affection, he’s off on his next adventure, batting his favorite mouse toy around and dashing through his crinkle tunnels with his prized catch. Lemmy currently lives with cats and dogs and even enjoys a little “spa treatment” from his 75-pound canine friend! While he may be cautious when meeting new furry friends, he warms up quickly once he feels comfortable. He would love a home filled with toys, enrichment, plenty of snuggles, and perhaps a friendly feline companion to wrestle and play with. He can also be happy as your one and only as long as he has his favorite people and plenty of fun activities. With lots of love and affection, Lemmy is sure to grow into a wonderfully loving, cuddly, and entertaining member of the family!

At three months old, this calico Domestic Short Hair is wild, sassy, and absolutely full of personality. She is playful through and through, happily tearing through tunnels and tackling every toy in her path, and she will follow you from room to room to make sure she does not miss a thing. But even the fiercest heir of fluff and claws needs a break, and when the zoomies wear off, Celaena is a true lap kitty who loves to curl up and snuggle with her favorite people. Celaena gets along great with older cats and settles right in with her feline housemates. Any home would be lucky to have this spunky, affectionate girl, especially one with plenty of toys and a lap ready for cuddles when she decides it is time to rest. If you are looking for a sassy, snuggly kitten who will keep you on your toes and warm your lap, Celaena would love to meet you.

At three months old, this domestic short hair has a calm, easygoing air, though he is not above a sudden burst of zoomies that sends him racing across the kingdom. He is happiest with a small toy clamped in his mouth, strutting around with his latest treasure like a prince showing off the crown jewels. And like the prince he is named for, he is full of charm, with a different lovable quality to discover around every corner.

Dorian does great with older cats and settles right in alongside his feline housemates. He has a gentle, dignified side and likes affection on his own terms, so he would be happiest in a calm home where he can approach for pets when he is ready. A household with adults or older kids who appreciate a quiet, sweet companion would suit him best.

If you are looking for a handsome, easygoing kitten with a royal personality, Dorian would love to meet you. Reach out to A.A.R.F. by text at 931-260-8018 or visit https://www.aarf-tn.com to start the application process.

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!

Katy is a sleek grey kitten with a big personality and even bigger eyes. At three months old, this all grey domestic short hair has the look of a Russian Blue, with big yellow eyes and delicate little features that give her a face you will not forget. She is playful and high energy, and she is perfectly happy entertaining herself. Her little grey mouse goes everywhere with her, carried, tossed, and chased across the floor like the star of her own show. She also loves a jingle ball and will leap sky high for a fishing pole teaser. Katy came into rescue as a single orphan and is still learning gentle manners at her own pace. Like many kittens her age, she is in the nibbly stage and does best with toys for play rather than fingers. She seems interested in the other kitties in her foster home but hasn't had the chance to directly interact with them. Katy is young enough to blossom with a little patience and consistent, gentle handling. She would do best in a home with adults or older children who will play with her and keep her toy box well stocked. If you are looking for a spunky, entertaining kitten with a striking look and plenty of personality, Katy would love to meet you.

I am a resilient, loving little kitten who is ready to find a family that will love me for exactly who I am! I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $150.00.

If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you smiling with playful antics and melt your heart with cuddles, I am ready to become your new best friend! However, because my sister, SASHA, and I are a bonded pair, we’d love nothing better than to be adopted together so we can provide you with double the kitten joy! I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $150.00, but if you adopt me with my sister, our adoption fee together is $200.00.

If you’re looking for a sweet kitten with the perfect mix of adventure and snuggles, I am definitely ready to steal your heart! However, because my brother, LEVI, and I are a bonded pair, we’d love nothing better than to be adopted together so we can provide you with double the kitten joy! I am spayed, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $150.00, but if you adopt me with my brother, our adoption fee together is $200.00.

My brother Cecil probably thought he'd always be the bold one, but these days I'm right there with him.Cecil and I are still a team, through and through. If he wanders off somewhere I can't see him, I let him know about it — loudly — and he comes running back every single time. That's just how we work. We're better together, braver together, and honestly, a lot more fun together too.Our mama, Cordelia, is a sweet calico who found her own happy ending — she chose a family, and they chose her right back, so she gets to stay in that home forever. I'm so glad she got that. Now Cecil and I are ready for our own forever too — a lively, playful home that can keep up with two confident little troublemakers who are more than ready for adventure.If you've got room in your heart for a happy, silly, fully-out-of-his-shell kitten (and his equally bold brother), I'd love to meet you. We're ready when you are.Love,Ernest & Cecil

He wants to know I'll be safe and loved while he focuses everything he has on getting well. That's why I need to find my new home now, before his surgery, so his heart can be fully on healing, not on worrying about me.
I promise I'm easy to love. I'm a handsome herringbone tabby with the cutest little spots on my belly — my family always said I was one of a kind, and I like to believe them. I'm a cuddle bug through and through — happiest curled up on a warm lap, soaking in every bit of affection I can get. I'm a perfect gentleman, gentle and easygoing with everyone I meet. I love people, I love dogs, and I especially love other kitties — I'd give anything to have a friend to share my days with.
I've already come so far from where I started. All I want now is a soft place to land — a family, a friend, and a lap that's mine. I know it's out there. I just haven't found it yet. And right now, my dad needs to know I'll find it soon.
Please, if you can open your heart and your home, reach out today. Time is short, and so is his. I've already come so far from where I started. All I want now is a soft place to land — a family, a friend, and a lap that's mine. I know it's out there. I just haven't found it yet.
If you think it could be you, I'll be waiting.
