1. Kitten Spot

Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair (long coat) · 5 mi from Franklin

Meet Spot!
Spot is 5 months old, white with the most perfect black spots, and 100% convinced he is a dog.
He doesn't just walk into a room — he trots in, with that fluffy black tail in the air. He comes when called, follows you from room to room like a shadow, brings you his toys to play fetch, and will happily sit on your feet while you work. He loves a good pillow nap, but he'd rather be right next to you than anywhere else.
Found napping, playing, and posing like a pro, Spot has mastered:

Read more about Kitten Spot

The head-tilt stare that says "throw it again"
The paw-up "shake" (we're still working on it, but he's got the spirit)
The classic flop-and-roll for belly rubs
Guarding his favorite sage-green pillow like it's his job

He's playful, people-focused, curious, and incredibly sweet. Spot would love a home where he can be your little sidekick — on the couch, by the desk, or patrolling the hallway like the good boy he knows he is.
He's not a cat who thinks he's a dog. He's a dog who happens to look like a cat.
Age: 5 months Likes: pillows, people, toys that jingle, being included in everything Dislikes: being ignored, closed doors Superpower: making you laugh at least 10 times a day
Think you need a dog? Maybe you just need Spot.

She loves soft blankets, sunbeams, dangly toys, and being told how beautiful she is. When she's done exploring, she tucks her paws in and becomes the coziest little loaf you’ve ever seen.
She's looking for a home ready for adventure and snuggles — someone who appreciates a brave little spirit with a soft, sweet heart.

4. Brillo

Kitten · Female · Russian Blue / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Franklin

Brillo arrived at just a few days old — three and a half ounces, eyes sealed shut, umbilical cord still attached, looking exactly like the tiny grey and white scrubby pad she was named for — and she has been absolutely defying expectations ever since. What started as the most fragile thing imaginable has become the most confident, outgoing, fearless little girl in the room, and she did it entirely on her own terms and her foster’s round the clock dedication. Brillo does not know she had a rough start. She skipped that part entirely and went straight to thriving. Sweet, bold, and ready for absolutely everything, she is proof that the scruffiest, most unlikely beginnings can produce the most brilliant and beautiful results.

Playful, sweet, couch-ready the moment the toys are put away, and genuinely thrilled when new people walk through the door because more people means more fun and JuJu has done the math.

She plays with her whole heart, settles into couch life like she invented it, and greets every new visitor like a tiny ambassador of goodwill. She is sweeter than she looks, which is saying something, because she looks extremely sweet. SugarBaby: deceptively simple, completely wonderful.

Kitten · Female · Bengal / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Franklin

Hey Mickie, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow our mind — and she absolutely does. This stunning brown tabby girl with her exotic bengal-like spots came to us by way of Pet Community Center, where volunteers recognized that a kitten this beautiful and this full of potential deserved a chance at indoor life before anyone gave up on her. Mickie has been taking that chance seriously. She came in a little uncertain about this whole human situation, which is entirely fair given her history, and she has been quietly, steadily deciding that maybe people aren't so bad after all. She's not going to do a cheer routine for you on the first meeting — she's not that Mickie — but give her time, give her space, give her the patient and understanding home she deserves, and this girl will surprise you completely.

Jinx is a super spunky and playful 4 month old girl, brimming with personality. Her favorite thing is to chase toys – especially the kind where the toy dangles at the end of a string or a wire that her human can flip around and drag across the floor so she can chase, pounce, and jump to catch it. After expending all that pouncing energy, she loves to cuddle. She always shows her appreciation for petting and face scratches with a soft rumbly purr. She has gorgeous deep-green eyes and the most sleek and shiny fur you’ve ever seen – all black, like a panther, but with one adorable tiny white spot on her chest.

This beautiful girl was rescued from North Nashville during the first week of June 2026, and was spayed July 1st at approximately 12 weeks of age. She is a petite little girl, with the sweetest round face. Shilo needed a little extra time to discover that people can be kind and trustworthy, but wow! Has she blossomed! Once her kitten-mates were adopted, out came a love-bug. She head butts me for attention, and insists on making dough anywhere she can on my person. So adorable. And playtime, she particularly likes playing with that 3-tier interactive ball toy, batting those plastic balls around and around. And she has a blast tossing those soft fuzzy balls into the air!

Initially a little cautious, she is an incredibly sweet, gentle, and tender-hearted kitten whose confidence continues to grow with each passing day.

20. Greyson

Kitten (5 months 12 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 12 mi from Franklin

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.

21. Kitten Gabby Girl

Kitten · Female · Tabby / Mixed · 5 mi from Franklin

Born around April 2026, this striking bobtail, Gabby Girl, is a friendly little love. Although her coloring is similar to the wild Bobcat, Gabby is certainly not wild! She has gorgeous black stripes, contrasted by her white paws, and tan fur. But splashed all around are splotches of orange stripes. So she is what we call her a “tabico”, a delightful tabby - calico mix.

Read more about Kitten Gabby Girl

Gabby is a petite little lady, with that darling bobtail that she loves to wag! It seems she is always purring - greeting me at her kitten room door. She is a very friendly kitten to humans…..not exactly welcoming to other kitties, just yet, but she gets better each day. She is just cautious and likes to sit back and check out the action. She tags along with Sly, her littermate. They are two very calm, sweet and playful kittens. Just pull out a wand toy that has a feather bird on the end and it is on! I’m not sure which one can jump the highest.

Gabby is not a big eater, nor a big talker, but she is a lap lover. After catching her feathered toy, and chewing on the string, it is time to love on her human. She happily cuddles next to me or hops right on my lap. We enjoy sunbathing in the sun, as we lazily peer out the window at the actual live birds outside. But life inside this kitty room has its own special appeal: yummy food, great toys, soft beds, towers to climb and ear rubs from her favorite human.

Now, wouldn’t it be wonderful if Gabby had all those comforts, and someone special to love of her very own?

Open your heart and home to Gabby Girl, and let this lovely little lady bring a little extra joy, a lot of purrs, and plenty of cuddles into your life!

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

Adopting a kitten in Franklin

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
