12. Chito
Kitten (4 months 20 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 46 mi from Wilson



Meet Chito!
Hi, I’m Chito! My world started out a little scary—I was found hiding in a garage, and I wasn’t quite sure what to think of all these big, new things called humans and homes!
I’m a sweet, gentle boy who just needs a little time to feel safe. I can be nervous at first, and big open spaces can make me feel a bit intimidated. But give me patience, love, and a cozy place to build my confidence, and you’ll start to see the real me shine!

13. Rhodes
Kitten (4 months 19 days) · Male · Siamese / Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 46 mi from Wilson




Rhodes is a playful boy who loves people and will come in for pets before darting off to bat around a glitter ball or chase a toy mouse, circling back for more attention a few minutes later. He never stays in one place too long, and there's always another game to get to.
He loves being picked up and held, purring right away, though once you set him down he's off again, returning shortly for chin scratches and back rubs. His cat tree is a favorite spot for watching the window, and he's just as happy getting lost in a good Cat TV video. He's just as happy napping with a sibling as he is on his own.
He'd do well going home solo or alongside another cat. Want a boy who's always got something going on? Apply to adopt Rhodes today!

14. Sailor
Kitten (4 months 24 days) · Female · Siamese / Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 46 mi from Wilson




Sailor is a sweet, playful girl who lights up for a good wand toy session, chasing and pouncing with total kitten focus. She'll come running the moment you walk into the room, rubbing against your legs and flopping over at your feet when you stop, practically begging to be picked up.
Once she's in your arms, she settles right in, and she's just as happy curling up in your lap for real snuggle time, purring the whole while. Her cat tree is a favorite spot to watch the world go by, and she gets fully absorbed in Cat TV whenever it's on. She'll nap solo or curl up with one of her siblings, happy either way.
She'd do well going home solo or alongside another cat. Ready to meet this affectionate girl? Apply to adopt Sailor today!

15. Marigold
Kitten (4 months 21 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 46 mi from Wilson





Marigold is a bright girl with a lot to say and a real need for attention, though she has a funny way of asking for it. She'll act aloof and cry out rather than come to you, but pick her up and hold her and she breaks into the most beautiful purr, then circles right back around you when you set her down.
She's not one to settle into a lap for long, but she loves to play, whether it's chasing a wand toy, batting a ball, or hunting a toy mouse. She also loves being carried around at your shoulder like a baby to tour the room. Her cat tree is a favorite spot to take it all in, and she loves getting lost in a good Cat TV session too. She's just as happy napping with a sibling as she is on her own.
She'd do well going home solo or alongside another cat. Ready to bring home a girl who'll never leave you guessing what she's thinking? Apply to adopt Marigold today!

17. Sandylynn
Kitten (5 months 1 day) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 46 mi from Wilson


Hi, I'm Sandylynn! My name means something special, my foster mom named me after her own sister, so I've carried a little piece of family love from the start.
I'm a shy girl who likes to take stock of a room before deciding it's safe. With patience, I'm hoping to learn to trust and settle in more over time. My favorites are a sturdy cat tree to survey my kingdom from, a scratching post, and wand toys to bring out my playful side.
I just need time to acclimate, and a family willing to go at my pace as my confidence grows.
Could you be the family that gives Sandylynn's story its next chapter?

18. Sundance
Kitten (4 months 12 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 46 mi from Wilson


Hi, I'm Sundance! I'll admit it, I'm shy at first. New people and new places make me want to hang back and watch from a safe spot. I'll learn to trust and open up more over time.
Once I feel comfortable, I'm a total tunnel enthusiast, cardboard, fabric, blanket forts, I love ducking through and popping out the other side. And when the wand toys come out, that's when you'll really see me shine, pouncing and chasing with everything I've got.
I don't need a home that's already perfect for me, just one that's patient. Give me the space to acclimate at my own pace, and let's see how much I grow together.
Could your quiet, patient home be the place where I start to come out of my shell?

✨ Meet Starbright! ✨Hi, I’m Starbright, the tiniest little sparkle in a litter of five! I may be the smallest of my siblings, but I have a whole lot of sweetness and kitten fun packed into my little body.I was born outside and discovered by my foster family, and I’m now learning that being loved by humans is pretty wonderful. I’m still working on my confidence, but with a little patience, encouragement, and TLC, I’m blossoming more every day. I’m a playful, curious kitten who enjoys hanging out with my siblings and checking out all the exciting things around me. I’ve even spotted dogs through the gate and thought, “Hmmmm…what are those fluffy creatures?” I’m curious about other animals and would love a home where I can continue learning and growing.I’m good with kids and ready for a family who will give me the time and love I need to become the confident little star I’m meant to be.

20. Mariska
Young (2 years 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 46 mi from Wilson




Mariska is a little purr machine, the kind of cat who settles in for the night and doesn't want to leave your side. She sleeps curled up with her people every night, purring the whole time. She still carries a lot of playful, kitten-like energy, even as she's grown, and she gets along well with other cats.
She takes a bit more patience to win over. Sudden movements or loud noises can send her scurrying for cover, and she'd rather not be picked up or carried. Once she feels safe, though, that softer side comes right out, and she rewards a calm, gentle approach with real affection.
Mariska would do best in a quiet home where she can move at her own pace and settle in without pressure. If you can give her that patience and a warm bed to sleep in, she'll give you her trust and plenty of purrs in return. Reach out to learn how you can bring her home.

Adopting a cat in Wilson
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.
