We do require kittens to be adopted in pairs to prevent SINGLE KITTEN SYNDROME unless there already a kitten or playful cat in the home.
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: Acting like a kittenzilla, destructiveness, crying/constant meowing, scratching, biting, aggression, lack of sleep, inappropriate elimination, keeping you up at night and more.
Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development. Isolating a kitten can delay development emotionally, socially, and sometimes physically.

12. Murray
Young (3 months 23 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 44 mi from Mayville




Murray was surrendered with Nellie, Gretta, and Milton. They came to us with their Mama through our spay/neuter program. Mama was fixed and was returned to her original home. The kittens stayed in our care in hopes they would find loving families our their own. All four kittens came in a little scared (understandable) but have quickly begun to adjust to the new environment. They are all affectionate and playful. We know they will be happy once they are settled into life with their families. Murray is a super sweet orange tabby male kitten. He seems like he is the "party boy" of the group. He loves to play and is happy with any toy available! Murray also loves attention is generally the first to purr of the group. This entire group seems to be an exceptionally kind and loving group. We have quickly fallen for this entire litter and you will too!
Read more about Murray
IMPORTANT* Our kittens always need the perfect partner to head home with (kittens must be adopted in pairs or have a SIMILAR AGED kitten already in the home) so please know this before you apply. Applications for single kittens will be denied. Murray deserves a family that will love and care for him and a partner kitten to help him continue to grow and develop into an amazing cat with good manners and a full heart. PLEASE take this into consideration before you apply and know that we work very hard to place our kittens in homes that set them up for the happiest, healthiest life possible. If you are interested in this kitten, please note that on your two-kitten application and we will discuss a good match based on your family, preferences, and our current availability. Personally, I believe you never can go wrong with a littermate, and Murray would be happy with any of his siblings, but he and Milton seem to have a ton of fun!

He seems like the strong sensitive type as he is the "big brother" of the group. He is the largest but also seems to "watch" us the most as if he is making sure his siblings are safe. Once he knows all is well, he quickly joins the fun and is certainly open to some attention. We have quickly fallen for this entire litter and you will too!

16. Subie
Kitten (3 months 30 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 44 mi from Mayville






This kitten has a heart of gold. He is so "polite" and such a sweet boy. Subie is kind, affectionate, and playful without being wild. He is friendly with other kittens and loves human attention. Subie seems like he will be a strong and steady cat when he grows up, a consistent and solid best friend to his family. He seems to adjust easily to new circumstances and people and because of his easy-going demeanor he will probably fit into most any family as long as this family includes another similar aged kitten. Our kittens always need the perfect partner to head home with (kittens must be adopted in pairs or have a SIMILAR AGED kitten already in the home) so please know this before you apply.

Subie is lucky to currently be in a foster home where he is getting extra care and attention.

17. Rue
Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 44 mi from Mayville






This beautiful kitten was surrendered with Clyde. We are not sure if they are littermates or just two of the many cats this person was trying to assist and find placement for.
Read more about Rue
Rue is just a very gorgeous girl. She is a medium to long(ish) hair tabby with the softest eyes. Rue is still getting used to be cared for so is somewhat reserved at first but if you take it slow at first meet Rue warms up quickly. She loves to be pet and enjoys human attention. She may not be the first to approach you when you enter the room but once you spend time with her she may be the last to leave you. She is quiet and not demanding. Rue does like Clyde and we are going to assume by her demeanor that she will get along with other cats/kittens as well. Because of her age and need to build confidence we will require Rue to be adopted with another kitten similar in age, or for adopter to have a young similar aged kitten in their home who is looking for a new friend too.

18. Clyde
Young (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 44 mi from Mayville







Check out this handsome fella! Clyde is not only a looker but he is also so very sweet. He loves people and loves ATTENTION. He will stare at you with his bright copper eyes until you notice him. Clyde also seems to be mellow and kind with other cats and because he is so young we feel another young cat in the home (or adopted in a pair from the shelter) is a must. He did come to us with Rue so we know they are great together but again because he is so friendly we believe he would adapt to almost any young and fun cat.

As we have gotten to know Clyde more we can tell he is going to be the life of any party. He is fun and playful. He is silly and friendly and boy is he handsome. Please meet Clyde! He is one great cat who is ready to bring life and love into your home!!
**Clyde will be available at The Cat's Brew in Sun Prairie as of 10/7. Please head to their facebook page or website to make reservations to spend time in the lounge with him or all of the beautiful cats there.

19. Cora
Kitten (2 months 5 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 44 mi from Mayville







This kitten is perfect in every way! Her little body is packed full of sass and sweet. Cora has short little legs and a compact little body but has the heart of a giant. She seems to make the most of every day. She wakes up ready to tackle anything, she plays like a crazy girl, purrs like a lion, and can make anyone smile after a hard day. Cora is pure joy with a little spice mixed in just for fun. Our kittens always need the perfect partner to head home with (kittens must be adopted in pairs or have a SIMILAR AGED kitten already in the home) so please know this before you apply.

20. Samantha
Young (7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 44 mi from Mayville








This sweet girl was surrendered with her Mom (Elsa) after spending her young life outside. Even though life has probably been difficult so far this baby is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves to pet, held, and just loved. She is gaining confidence every day and has begun to approach for attention. Samantha loves other cats she is in a room currently with her Mom and two other adult cats, Vern and Millie. You can find Samantha snuggled with them when she needs comfort, so we know Samantha loves other cats. Because of her age and her interest in other cats/kittens we will require Samantha to be adopted with another one of our kittens or into a home with another young cat (similar to Samantha's age or at least under age 2 years old) that is playful and open to a kitten friend.

Adopting a cat in Mayville
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.
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.
