1. Kitten Spot

Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair (long coat)

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.

Meet Amelia Earhart! ✈️
Amelia Earhart is a 5-month-old tortoiseshell kitten with a coat like autumn leaves — swirls of inky black, warm caramel, and smoky gray — and big green eyes that look straight into your soul.
Don't let that serious little face fool you, this girl is an explorer at heart. Named for the famous aviator, she's always on a mission: to investigate every corner, climb every pillow mountain, and take off on daring flights of fancy (also known as zoomies).
Her flight log so far:

Read more about Kitten Amelia

7am: Pre-flight checks. Patrols the windows, monitors bird traffic
11am: Co-pilot duties. Must sit as close as possible and supervise you

9pm: Lands directly on your lap for purr-powered cuddles

Amelia is a classic tortie — independent, clever, affectionate on her own terms, and full of personality. She has that wonderful tortoiseshell chattiness, a fluffy tail she carries like a flag, and a purr that starts the second you say her name.
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.
Age: 5 months Breed: Long-haired Tortoiseshell Likes: window watching, crinkle toys, being the center of attention, warm laps Dislikes: boring afternoons, being told she can't climb that Superpower: making every day feel like an adventure

4. Moose

Young · Male · Tuxedo

Meet Moose!
Moose is not your average house cat — he's a large gray tuxedo gentleman in a crisp white bib and mittens, and he knows he looks good.
This young adult male is big, soft, and wonderfully sturdy. He loves to be near his people, whether that's supervising from the couch, leaning in for chin scratches, or flopping over to show off that handsome tuxedo belly. He's playful in that goofy young-adult way — feather wands, crinkle balls, and batting toys around — but he also has a calm, affectionate side and is happy to just loaf next to you.
Moose is FIV+. What does that mean? It just means he carries the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

Read more about Moose

FIV+ cats can and do live long, happy, completely normal lives indoors. It can't be transmitted to people or dogs, and it spreads only through deep bite wounds between cats. Moose can live safely with other cats — especially other mellow cats — and many FIV+ and FIV- cats live together happily. He just needs to stay indoors, eat well, and get regular vet checkups like any cat.
If you're looking for a big, sweet, dapper companion with a lot of love to give, Moose is your guy. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com

14. Mr. Magoo

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed

Mr. Magoo is a special kitty that needs a family to love. It could be congenital but he is likely to be blind at a very young age. We removed one of his eyes on 9 September and as you can see from his pictures, his eye is healing nicely. Unfortunately, you can also see from his picture that his other eye is cloudy and while he can see a little from that eye, it might give out on him soon. I am his foster and he is so gentle and playful. He loves to come and sit in my lap to get love. He lets me medicate his eye but he does not like to have his head petted. Mr. Magoo will likely be completely blind before he is one year old.

He may or may not need his eye removed but if he does, we will help pay for the surgery. We are hoping that if he does lose sight, he will be able to keep his eye. Blind kittens fair very well and learn the ropes quickly so he will be able to adapt well to any home as long as there is love. If you are interested, please contact me at hchumanesociety2012@gmail.com. I want the best life possible for this brave little fella.

Young · Male · Tuxedo / Mixed

Lord Sock is a 5-month-old tuxedo kitten who takes his name very seriously. He arrives fully dressed in a crisp black coat, white chest, and four little white socks — as if he got ready for a gala and then decided to run around the house instead.
At 5 months, he's all kitten: playful, bouncy, hilarious, and wildly curious. He loves wand toys, crinkle balls, wrestling with his friends, and then collapsing for a long, dramatic nap in a sunbeam.
Lord Sock is sweet, people-oriented, and chatty. He will follow you for pets, supervise your work, and graciously allow you to share his couch. He uses his litter box perfectly, loves to be held like a baby (for exactly 37 seconds before he has to go play again), and has a purr you can hear from across the room.
He would love a home with lots of playtime and maybe another friendly cat or gentle dog to keep up with his royal shenanigans.

I'm 5 months old, and I'm pretty sure I'm part cloud, part kitten. My foster says I'm a Russian Blue mix - that explains my velvety grey-blue fur, my big green eyes, and my very important job of supervising everything you do.
My skills include: Olympic-level feather wand hunting, expert biscuit-making, purring at maximum volume, and looking extremely handsome while napping.
I'm a sensitive soul - loud noises aren't my favorite - but once I know I'm safe, I'm all in. I'll greet you at the door, sleep at the foot of your bed, and keep your keyboard warm while you work.
If you're looking for a loyal, sweet, playful best friend who will grow up with you, I'm your guy.
Love, Ivan
Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to add Ivan to your family.

28. Kitten Jinx

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed

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.

30. Kitten Chip

Kitten · Male · Tabby / Mixed

Chip is a handsome, 4 month old gentle gray tabby boy with amber-green eyes whose favorite thing is to have his forehead scratched. He has a playful side and likes to bat Q-tips around and chase a string toy dragged across the floor, but he’s less rambunctious than his siblings, preferring to hang back and observe their goofy chaos. Chip was quite shy and cautious when we first met him, but after lots of gentle encouragement, he now loves to be held on a lap and petted. He has a sweet soul and a soft purr, and is ready to be a loving and devoted companion to his adoptive human(s). To find out more about the boy please email ccrnewengland@gmail.com

Cities and towns in Lewis County

Adopting a cat in Lewis County

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.
