9. Crabgrass

Young (3 months 21 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 37 mi from Bailey

Crabby is a gorgeous light brown tabby, and looks like a sand cat. He's still a bit shy about new things and people, so he'd do best in a quite home, but would get along well with older kids and other pets.

15. Bandit

5 Years 4 Months · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 37 mi from Bailey

Meet your new cuddle supervisor! This handsome 5-year-old is equal parts snuggle bug and comedian. He loves people, kisses, warm naps, toys, and a little catnip—but he'd still pick cuddling with you over all of them. He's perfectly happy with other cats, but dogs? Absolutely not. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. His taste in music leans heavily toward Taylor Swift, and rumor has it he's not a fan of NPR. He's FIV-positive, so he'll need regular vet care and likely some extra dental attention as he gets older. Don't let that scare you away—he'll repay every bit of love and care with a lifetime of purrs, companionship, and unconditional affection. If you're looking for a best friend with a big heart and an even bigger personality, he's your guy.

Adopting a cat in Bailey

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.
