4. Greyson
Kitten (5 months 12 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 27 mi from Hendersonville




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.

5. Kitten Sly
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 28 mi from Hendersonville



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

Kitten (4 months 28 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Calico / Mixed · 27 mi from Hendersonville




Estimated Date of Birth: 4/26/2026 Meet Cinnamon, a beautiful little tortie girl with the sweetest, more reserved personality. Cinnamon is definitely the most reserved of her siblings, so she would thrive in a quieter home where she can take her time getting comfortable and let her personality blossom.

With a little patience and a calm environment, we think Cinnamon will become a wonderful companion. She may not be the first kitten to rush up and demand attention, but once she feels safe and secure, she'll have plenty of love to give.

25. Cymbal
Kitten (4 months 23 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 27 mi from Hendersonville








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.

One special note about Rhonda: She is FIV-positive.
Read more about Rhonda
FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) is a manageable condition that primarily affects a cat’s immune system. FIV-positive cats can live long, happy lives, and it does not mean they are sick or unable to be wonderful companions. FIV is primarily spread through deep bite wounds, so FIV-positive cats can often safely live with other cats when they have compatible personalities and do not fight. Rhonda deserves a loving home where she can be cherished for the sweet girl she is.
Rhonda's litter includes: Jenny, Mary, Thomas, Prince and Maggie.
Adoption fee for Rhonda: $150; adoption fee for two kitties $225.
Rhonda is spayed, tested negative for feline leukemia, is up-to-date with vaccinations, and is microchipped.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
