1. Kitten Spot
Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair (long coat) · 21 mi from Smyrna



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:

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.

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

5pm: Long-distance lounging on the softest pillow she can find
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 · 21 mi from Smyrna



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

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.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 21 mi from Smyrna




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 Lucky Lady
Kitten · Female · Tortoiseshell / Mixed · 21 mi from Smyrna



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.

Adopting a cat in Smyrna
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.
