Meet Rachel, an 8-month-old kitten with equal parts sugar and spice and a whole lot of heart. 💕✨
Rachel is a delightful mix of sweet and sassy. She adores head scratches and will happily curl up in your lap and snooze away for hours. Being picked up or held is not her idea of a good time though, and she’s very clear about her boundaries. Listen to her cues, and she’ll reward you with trust and cozy companionship and a very loud purr motor.
Playtime is where Rachel truly shines. She absolutely loves chasing wand toys and is also an expert at entertaining herself with toys when her people are busy. She's a bit of a chatty catty, making sure her people know just how she feels. But with the cutest little chirp, it's tough not to listen and chat back. Despite everything she’s been through, she has tons of kitten energy and a zest for life that hasn’t been slowed one bit.
Rachel’s start in life was incredibly tough. She arrived at our rescue unknowingly pregnant with non-viable kittens and needed emergency surgery less than 48 hours later. She had also suffered prior trauma to one of her eyes, which eventually required surgical removal. Thankfully, those chapters are behind her. She’s now on the road to recovery and feeling better every day. You might notice a cone on Rachel in her photos. Not to worry, she won't need that once she goes home, as she'll be fully healed and ready to start her next chapter.
Because of her medical and life trauma, Rachel can be fearful in certain situations, cautiously making sure you won't hurt her. She’s looking for a cat-experienced, adult-only home with people who will move at her pace, notice and respect her boundaries, and let her build confidence on her own terms. While we wouldn't describe her as shy, she can be nervous/fearful around new people and needs time to build trust. We recommend using our guide to winning over shy cats to give her the best start: https://www.denverkittens.org/post/how-to-win-over-a-shy-cat.
With her young age, she could likely adjust to another calm, cat-friendly cat or dog with proper introductions, but she’d also be perfectly happy as an only kitty soaking up all the attention and playtime.
Rachel is resilient, playful, and deeply lovable once you earn her trust. For the right home, she’ll be an incredibly special companion.
Rachel’s adoption fee ($150) includes:
• Spay
• Dewormer
• FeLV testing
• Microchip
• Core vaccines
• A free 30-day subscription to Petcademy (24/7 cat behavior support!)
• A free exam at a ChewyVet clinic + a $50 Chewy gift card
• A bag of go-home goodies
If you’re looking for a brave little survivor with a big personality and a soft spot for lap time and play, Rachel may be your girl. 💛🐾

Denver Kittens is focused on reducing animal suffering by pulling animals from high-euthanasia shelters, particularly harder-to-adopt animals, such as those with FIV or bonded pairs, and finding them loving homes in the Denver Metro Area. We also aim to reduce over-population, and therefore reduce animal suffering and euthanasia, by supporting trap, neuter, return efforts in our community and increasing access to spay and neuter.
