My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Della @ (kittycityks@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

Our adoption center is open both Saturday & Sunday every weekend! Saturday's noon-5pm & Sunday's noon-4pm.



Lightning is an older boy who LOST HIS ELDERLY OWNER very suddenly. This has been devastating for him because he was with his owner since he was a kitten. After a few weeks with his foster Mom and some great TLC, vet care and healthy food, he is ready to find a home where he can lay around, eat good food, give love and GET LOVE!  Lightning is a very social and affectionate boy and purrs quite loudly when you are close. He loves to be petted and brushed and gives sweet gentle head butts. Lightning is looking for a loving home where he can retire and just lay around and be a companion and lap kitty to someone who will care and love him for the duration of his life.

Lightning is around 17 years old. His vision is significantly impaired for reasons unknown.  It is not due to high blood pressure (BP is puurfect); nor does it appear to be glaucoma.  We are still looking into the possibility of detached retinas. Regardless of the cause, it is likely untreatable and it doesn’t appear to bother him.  He has adapted and continues to adapt quite well to new spaces. His foster Mom has found that he is quick to figure out the lay of the land if you show him where everything is immediately. Other than his eyes, he is very healthy for a cat his age.  He is on no medications. 

Lightning will do best in a mature home or one with older, cat-savvy children (16+). He has been around other kitties and shows no aggression.  He will likely get along with other cat-friendly cats with proper introductions, but will be fine (and may prefer) to be an only kitty.  He has only been around his foster Mom’s very cat-friendly dog and doesn’t really react as long as the dog doesn’t get too close or surprise him. He would likely be okat with cat-friendly dogs with slow and proper introductions.

Lightning is scheduled for a dental appointment and His FUTURE VETTING will be sponsored.

Lightning was born approximately January 22, 2007, and his adoption fee is $125, or adopt two and the second is half off. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and deworming, is microchipped, and tested negative for feline leukemia virus. Come see this sweet darling at our adoption center this weekend! 



You can visit our adoptable cats and kittens during weekend business hours at our adoption center, address and times above. During the week, all our kitties live in licensed foster homes, and while most do come to the adoption center each weekend, not every kitty attends every weekend. For more information, or to confirm whether a particular cat or kitten will be present that weekend, please email kittycityks@aol.com.  Kitty City Kansas Rescue is a volunteer, non-profit organization.

More about this rescue

You can download an application and read about our adoption process on our website at www.KittyCityKS.com Kitty City Kansas Rescue is a 501 c3 non-profit, all volunteer - no kill organization. All of our animals stay in licensed foster homes during the week. You can visit our adoptable animals during the week in our foster homes or visit them on Saturdays at Mariposa Vet Clinic in Lenexa. If you wish to visit them in a foster home we ask that you fill out an application first. We also recommend that prior to coming to our adoption center on Saturdays that you complete an application so you can get pre-approved.....who knows, you might meet your purrfect match and want to take them home that day. We specialize in cats and kittens. The majority of our animals come from other shelters that do not have the capability or the room to take care of very small animals that are too young/small to adopt. We then take them into our homes, make sure they are healthy and once they are big enough to be adopted we find homes for them. We can safely spay or neuter kittens once they weigh two pounds which happens around 8-10 weeks of age.
