Cats for Adoption in Shelbyville, TN: 20 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.

She would thrive in a loving home where she can have sunny window spots, cozy blankets, and lots of little adventures. If you're looking for a smart, sweet, and utterly charming companion, Ms Socks is ready to be your girl.

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.

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.

Meet Tucker!
Tucker is a 5-month-old black kitten and he is absolutely stunning in person. His coat is jet-black, soft, and shiny — like velvet — and his golden-green eyes glow, especially when he's plotting his next pounce.
Don't let the mini-panther look fool you. Tucker is a total lovebug. He's playful, goofy, and affectionate. He loves feather wands, crinkle toys, wrestling with his kitten friends, and then flopping over for belly rubs and loud, rumbly purrs.
Tucker is confident, people-oriented, and curious about everything. He'll follow you around, help you work, greet you at the door, and curl up on your chest at night like he's been yours forever.

Meet Carlita!
Carlita is a 5-month-old solid black kitten with the softest velvety fur and the most stunning light green eyes.
Carlita had a rough start — she was found tucked away under a workshop, dusty and shy, just trying to stay safe. But once she was scooped up, this little girl decided humans are actually pretty wonderful.
Now she is ALL love. Carlita is sweet, gentle, and affectionate. She loves to be held, loves to curl up on a blanket next to you, and has a deep, rumbly purr that starts the second you touch her. She's playful too — feather wands and crinkle toys are her favorites — but her favorite place is always right by her person.
She is litter-box perfect, brave, and blossoming more every day.

Hi, I'm Ivan!
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.

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.

Lucky is a beautiful tortoiseshell 4 month old girl with the most unique and gorgeous eyes – they’re amber on the outer rim and green on the inner rim. She’s also a true cuddlebug. When she’s ready to snuggle, she will not hesitate to climb into your lap, find the best spot, curl up in a ball, and purr with delighted contentment. She loves to be petted and even enjoys being cradled in your arms on her back, like a baby. She’s a curious, fun-loving, “happy-go-lucky” kitty cat who is just as sweet as can be and will be an amazing companion to whomever is “lucky” enough to adopt her. If you might consider adopting two kittens, Lucky and her sister Jinx are great as a pair and would enjoy keeping each other company. Please email ccrnewengland@gmail.com for an application.
