Calico kittens & cats in Merriam, Kansas

Penny is a 9 year old sweetheart who would prefer a quiet home. She loves to cuddle and be petted. She is very forthcoming with strangers and will participate in everything you do. She is insatiably curious and independent in a classic cat way.

Peaches and her son, Onyx, used to fend for themselves outside. A kind person took them in during a blizzard in Kansas City. Now Peaches and Onyx have grown to appreciate the comforts of life indoors and have no desire to venture outside. At about five months old, Onyx is coal black with just a little bit of white on his belly. He appreciates tasty food and playing with toys. He's a brave boy who shows his mama the ropes, letting her know that the world isn't so scary. Onyx is very loving and purrs like a big engine. Peaches is about two years old; she was just a baby herself when she had Onyx, but has learned so much from him. Peaches has started to trust humans and is learning to like pets and scratches. If you're patient with her, Peaches will reward you with her love, attention, and purrs. Both kitties have very good manners and are a joy to have. Peaches and Onyx would do best in an adult-only home with patient people. After all, it's not easy to go from living on the street to having everything you've always wanted right before your eyes: a warm, cozy place to sleep; regular, nutritious meals; fresh water; shelter from the rain and snow; and humans who are nice to you. That's a lot to take in! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on this bonded pair. They're in the Kansas City metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

This sweet 9-year-old cat is looking for a new home where she can be the only pet. She is healthy with no known medical issues, but she's become stressed living with other cats and would thrive in a calm, animal-free environment. She deserves a peaceful home where she can relax, feel secure, and get all the love and attention she needs.

Bebe is about 6 years old and has been a part of our family for around 5 years. She has lived in two different households with dogs and does well after she warms up to them. We have a 90lb Golden Retriever and they play together. She is a great play mate and also a great lap cat. She has always used her litter box and has not had an accident over her 5 years with us. She is spayed and microchipped, but could use an updated vet visit. She sometimes forgets she has claws and would do best in a household with children older than 5 years old.Unfortunately we have had to make the hard decision to rehome this sweet girl with our new baby. We hope someone can give Bebe a lovely life.Supplies we have that can come with her if you’d like them include; cat tower, remaining food, gravity feeder, litter box, toys, and a cat crate for vet visits.Please only submit an application if you are serious about adopting our sweet girl. We’ve had several people submit applications and never respond back. :(

Elle is in foster. Contact us to arrange a meeting to see her. Elle — A Gentle, Shy Dilute Calico Who Blossoms Slowly and Sweetly Elle is a soft, pastel‑painted dilute calico with a tender, introverted heart. She’s a naturally shy girl who prefers to approach on her own terms, but once she feels safe, she reveals a warm, affectionate side — especially when she decides it’s time for belly rubs. In her foster home, Elle has discovered a few favorite comforts: sunbathing on the windowsill, curling up on soft blankets, batting around pipe cleaners, and enjoying her favorite chicken‑flavored food. She’s a quiet, gentle presence who thrives in calm spaces and appreciates people who let her set the pace. Elle does well with cats, older kids/teenagers, and smaller dogs she can investigate at her own speed. She’s curious about little dogs but prefers to keep her distance from larger ones. She’s not a fan of fish‑flavored food, being touched without her consent, or younger children who move quickly or unpredictably — she’s a sensitive soul who shines with patient adopters. Elle is currently in foster; reach out to arrange a meet‑and‑greet and see her in her comfort zone. With kindness and gentle routines, Elle becomes a truly lovely companion.

Hi, Im Almond.<br/>Im a one-year-old orange tabby with a soft heart and a gentle spirit. I came to the shelter through the HERO community outreach program, and while everything here has been a big change for me, Im slowly learning that its a safe place.<br/>I can be a little shy at first-new people and busy environments make me nervous-but if you give me some time, patience, and a quiet space, I really start to come out of my shell. Im looking for a calm home without young children, where I can settle in at my own pace and feel secure.<br/>One thing that really helps me feel comfortable is having other cats around-I truly enjoy their company and would love a feline friend to help show me the ropes.<br/>Once I trust you, youll see my sweet and gentle side. I may not be the first to greet you at the door, but Ill be the one quietly keeping you company, building a bond thats worth the wait.<br/>If you have a peaceful home and a patient heart, I think we could be just right for each other.
