Calico kittens & cats in Shawnee, 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.

Meet Tipper! Remember the outgoing, friendly, genuinely nice kid in school liked by everyone? That's Tipper! She's the class president, the pep squad leader, and the one hugging friends having a rough day. Tipper loves everyone! She's not shy about seeking attention, either. She's a lap kitty through and through: If you go to sit down, she'll be on your lap before your behind hits the cushion. At about 7 years old, Tipper is no "senior" at heart. She's a silly, playful kitty who loves rolling around on the floor with her toys. She's good with other cats. As for the dachshunds in her current home, they've all reached an understanding that ignoring each other is the best course of action. So, if you have respectful dogs that won't be all up in Tipper's business, they will probably do just fine together. You'd never know it when you meet her, but Tipper has had a rough time of it lately. Her owner passed away, and her owner's friend took her in. Somehow, Tipper wound up abandoned in a motel room, malnourished and looking pretty rough. Her owner's dad has Tipper now, but he can't keep her. That's where you enter Tipper's story and give her the happy last chapter of her life. Please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info. Tipper is in the Kansas City metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

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.

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.

Jinx is five years old. She’s missing an eye. FOPAS did not know how it happened, but “cosmetic” surgery was done. She is surprisingly not clumsy. Sweetest cat ever. Very lovey, just wants to be close to people she trusts. Is a bit skittish and you will have to give her time to warm up to you.

Dolly is a 7 year old Calico. We adopted her from Melissa's Second Chance shelter. We thought our Ragdoll cat would like a friend. We were wrong. He can be the only cat in household unfortunately and that is the reason for rehoming Dolly. She is very sweet, playful and loves balls and strings. She a curious kitty and also enjoys watching cat games on YouTube! Her favorite is to lay on the floor and get her face and chin rubbed. Loves to be around people and would like to have a kitty friend. She has not been around dogs since we got her but think she would do just fine. She is consistent with her litter box use. She also loves people food.

Hi! My name is Georgia. I'm very pretty and very friendly, but I've got a bad food allergy that causes me to be itchy and groom myself too much. The shelter is helping me figure out what I can eat, but it seems like I'll need to be on a very specific diet (possibly forever). Please feel free to call, email, or stop by the shelter if you'd like to meet with me in person!

🐾 Meet Mirabel — The Independent Redhead Queen 🧡🤍 Mirabel is a stunning orange-and-white beauty with a bold personality and plenty of charm. True to her fiery redhead look, she’s confident, expressive, and knows exactly what she likes — and what she doesn’t. Mirabel is the kind of cat who likes to come and go on her own terms. She enjoys being near her person and will happily curl up beside you at night or keep you company while you relax, but she’s also very clear about her boundaries. Think of her as a companion who prefers quality time over constant hands-on affection. ✨ Her Personality Mirabel is affectionate in her own way. She often chooses to sleep next to her person and enjoys being close, but she’s not a cat who wants lots of full-body petting. Chin scratches are her favorite, and she’ll happily accept attention — until she’s had enough. When she gets overstimulated, she’ll let you know it’s time to give her a little space. She also has a playful side and enjoys batting around toys or exploring the house. And like many orange cats, she’s fascinated by running water and loves sipping from the sink faucet. 🎀 Independent & Full of Sass Mirabel has a fun, sassy personality that makes her entertaining to live with. She likes to explore the house, check in on what you’re doing, and then settle in nearby when she’s ready to relax. 🐈 Her Social Preferences Mirabel previously lived as an only pet, but in foster care she has shown that she can coexist with other cats when introductions are done slowly. She tends to keep her distance and prefers not to interact much with them, so she would do best either: • As the only cat, or • In a home with another calm, respectful cat and a patient introduction process 🐶 Dogs are still a no for Mirabel — she’s made that very clear. 👨‍👩‍👧 Kids & Home Environment Mirabel would likely do best in a home with older children or adults who understand feline boundaries. Because she can become overstimulated with too much petting, a home without very young children would help ensure everyone feels comfortable and respected. 💛 Her Ideal Home Mirabel would thrive with an adopter who: • Appreciates independent, personality-filled cats • Understands feline body language and overstimulation • Enjoys a companion who will hang out nearby rather than be constantly handled • Is happy letting their cat set the pace for affection Mirabel isn’t your typical “pick me up and cuddle me all day” cat — she’s more of a roommate with opinions, charm, and just the right amount of sass. But if you’re looking for a beautiful, entertaining, and loyal companion who will share your space (and your bed at night), Mirabel might be exactly the cat you’ve been looking for. She’s ready for her second chance — and a home that appreciates her exactly as she is. 👑🐾 🆕 Mirabel is also eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

🐾 Meet Izzie — A Playful Tabby with Spark and Style Izzie is a gorgeous female tabby with a rich brown-charcoal coat and stunning green eyes that stop people in their tracks. She’s a young adult with energy to spare and a personality that keeps life interesting. Izzie is excellent with the litter box and an absolute playtime enthusiast. Strings, balls, feathers—if it’s a toy, Izzie is into it. She loves chasing, batting, and entertaining herself, and her zoomies are truly something to behold (very dog-like and very entertaining!). Play is her happy place, and she thrives when she has outlets to burn off her energy. While Izzie can be very sweet and affectionate, she’s still learning how to navigate human touch. She may enjoy petting one moment and then become overstimulated, responding with a quick nip or swat. Because of this, Izzie needs a patient, cat-savvy home that understands feline boundaries and will let her set the pace for affection. Izzie would likely do best as the only cat in the household, where she can have space, attention, and routine without competition. Izzie recently spent time in a foster home who did thoughtful and slow introductions with resident dogs. Izzie did excellent with dogs that respect her space. As long as the resident dog isn’t interested in chasing or being in her face, Izzie is likely to coexist peacefully. With time, consistency, and understanding, Izzie has the potential to continue growing into a confident, loving companion. If you’re looking for a beautiful, playful cat with a big personality—and you appreciate a cat who keeps things on her terms—Izzie might be the perfect match for you. 💚 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
