Cats for Adoption in Rutherford County, TN: 30 Cats Looking for a Home

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:

Meet Pebbles! ✨

Pebbles is a 5-month-old dilute tortie girl — soft gray with swirls of peach and cream, a fluffy bottle-brush tail, and the most stunning golden-green eyes you’ve ever seen.
She’s gentle, a little dreamy, and 100% a pillow cat. Pebbles loves to loaf on her favorite spot, watch the world go by, and then look right at you like she’s listening to every word you say. She’s the kind of kitten who will quietly claim your coziest blanket and then graciously allow you to share it.
Her specialties include:

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:

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.

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.

Scrubbing Bubbles works a little differently — she doesn’t rush in and tackle everything at once, she gets to work quietly, steadily, and before you know it the whole situation is transformed and you’re not entirely sure how it happened. This gorgeous flame point Siamese mix arrived a little uncertain about the world, and she takes her time deciding that new people are safe, which they are, and that she is loved, which she is. Once she gets there she is absolutely worth every patient moment. And here’s the thing about Scrubbing Bubbles — she’s still becoming herself. Those flame point ears and that tail are just warming up, and when the weather turns and the color comes in she is going to be breathtaking.

JuJu is a little bit of everything and entirely her own thing, which is exactly right for a girl with that name. She showed up looking like a calico to the casual observer — soft, swirly, beautifully blended — and has been delighting everyone who meets her with the same effortless charm ever since. 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. Colorful, chewy, impossible to put down. JuJu: you always want just one more.

SugarBaby looks like a grey and white dream at first glance, and then you look a little closer and realize there is a whole lot more going on — soft hints of color, subtle complexity, quiet beauty that rewards the people who actually pay attention. 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.

Heath arrived in a dark, sleek, sophisticated package and has been delivering nothing but the good stuff ever since. This glossy all-black boy is exactly what it says on the wrapper — sweet, playful, and absolutely worth the reach into the bag. He loves every toy he encounters, plays until the last possible moment, and then drapes himself next to you on the couch like he was always planning to end up there. New people get the full welcome committee treatment because Heath believes everyone deserves a proper introduction. Classic, reliable, always a crowd favorite. You can’t go wrong with Heath.

Reese is a study in perfect combinations. This stunning grey-blue boy with his Russian Blue good looks arrived already knowing that the best things in life involve exactly the right mix — play hard, snuggle soft, greet everyone, repeat. He tears through toys with enthusiasm and lands beside you on the couch with equal commitment, because Reese understands that balance is everything. Sweet, beautiful, and deeply satisfying in every possible way. One is never enough.

York showed up in classic black and white and has been absolutely killing it ever since. This dapper boy is cool, he is smooth, and he has a certain refreshing quality that makes everyone around him feel immediately at ease — new people, toys, couch situations, all of it handled with effortless style. He plays hard, snuggles easy, and welcomes every visitor like they were personally invited. York: dark, handsome, and genuinely delightful. The cool one in every candy bowl.

Boo is not hiding anymore, and honestly the neighborhood’s loss is your gain. This busy, bright-eyed little girl with the sweetest eyes and the cutest nose has fully emerged from wherever she was keeping herself and has decided that life is better out in the open, preferably near her brother, preferably near you, and preferably in the middle of whatever is happening right now. She loves being held, she loves company, and she will issue a small but pointed meow when she feels the situation has gone on too long without her in it, which is fair and reasonable and very Boo. She is social, she is sweet, she is always ready for the next adventure — and if that adventure leads back to Radley, even better.

Radley is not as mysterious as his reputation suggests — he just takes his time, which is a completely different thing. This beautiful, perfectly spotted boy approaches the world with the endless curiosity of someone who finds everything genuinely fascinating and the careful energy of someone who wants to get it right. He is always exploring, always investigating, rarely stopping — until Boo needs him, at which point he stops completely, because some things matter more than the next adventure. He’s still building his confidence with new people, but hold him close and he will reward you with a purr that makes the whole wait worthwhile.

Meet Alvin!
He is a little kitten with a big personality.
He is a brave little adventurer who loves to explore. One minute, he's zooming around the house, chasing his favorite toys and showing off his playful side, and the next, he's ready to curl up for some cozy snuggles. He'll always make sure you know he's around by greeting you with his sweet little meow.
He's also a pretty confident guy. He gets along great with dogs of all sizes and is not afraid to be around them. Alvin is friendly, outgoing, and always curious about the world around him.

Meet Orange Slice, a brave little survivor with a big heart! This handsome boy has come a long way since his rescue, transforming from a terrified kitten into an affectionate, curious, and outgoing little guy. He loves being held and showered with affection, and his curious eyes will make you wonder what’s going on inside that clever little head!
Orange Slice was rescued from the heartbreaking situation in Erin, Tennessee, where cats were being shot with blow darts. When he was first rescued, he was terrified of people and anything unfamiliar. We can only imagine what he witnessed and endured.

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.

Meet Petey — A Sweet Little Rascal!
Petey is a handsome black-and-white boy with gorgeous golden eyes and a big personality packed into one adorable little body!
He’s definitely a little rascal—curious, adventurous, and always looking for his next opportunity to get into something. He loves trying to sneak outside, jumping up on everything, and is convinced that whatever his humans are eating must be better than what’s in his bowl.
But Petey has a very sweet side, too. ❤️ His favorite place might just be up on your shoulder, where he can climb up, snuggle in close, and happily purr away while taking in the world from his favorite spot.
He’s playful and curious, but he also loves his people and has a wonderfully affectionate side.

Meet Boba — 5 months old, 100% void, 100% sweetheart.
This handsome house panther has mastered the art of the loaf, the slow blink, and finding the highest spot in the room to supervise from. By day he's a sunbeam chaser and toy hunter. By night, a purring lap warmer with the loudest motor you've ever heard.
Don't let the serious green eyes fool you — he's still very much a baby who gets the zoomies at 2am and thinks every shoelace is a snake that must be defeated.
Currently accepting treats, chin scratches, and applications for Best Friend.

Mike is a reserved little guy who will do best in a quiet home where he can feel safe and adjust at his own pace. He enjoys playtime with his siblings, but his favorite moments are when he gets one-on-one attention.

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.
Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about this handsome boy.

Meet Stella!
Stella is a 5-month-old tortoiseshell kitten and she is absolutely stunning in person. Her coat is a beautiful mosaic of black, caramel, and copper — no two patches the same — and her amber eyes miss nothing.
True to tortie form, Stella has opinions and she loves to share them. She's confident, clever, and affectionate on her own terms. One minute she's an acrobat chasing a feather toy mid-air, the next she's curled in your lap purring like a little motorboat.
Stella is bright, playful, and very people-oriented. She loves to talk, especially when it's dinner time or when she has decided you haven't petted her enough.
