Story
Hi, I’m Lara! I might be a little quiet when we first meet, but I promise there’s a very soft, very loving heart just waiting for the right person to find it.At first, I like to take my time. I watch, I listen, I get to know my surroundings in my own gentle way. New things can feel a bit big at first… but that doesn’t mean I don’t want love. It just means I like to feel safe before I show how sweet I really am.Once I start to trust you, you’ll see the real me—soft little nudges for pets, quiet companionship, and the kind of closeness that grows slowly but beautifully. I may not be the loudest in the room, but I have a very deep way of loving my person once I know they’re mine.I enjoy cozy hiding spots, calm voices, and peaceful moments where I can just be near you without too much pressure. And little by little, I’ll start coming out more, asking for gentle attention and showing you that I’ve been rooting for you all along.I’m the kind of cat who doesn’t rush love—but when I give it, it’s real.If you’re patient with me, I’ll become your softest little shadow, your quiet companion, your Lara.________________________________________________If you would like to meet one of our adoptables or learn more about them, please submit an application at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster/.**Note: Our shelter is open by scheduled appointment only after your application is approved.

Story
Tiger – Sweet Kitty Girl for Adoption! Contact dcmcats@yahoo.com Tiger is a big talker! She loves being scratched & petted but does give cat little nips (pinches) while you are petting her or brushing her, LOL! But she isn’t intending to hurt you, just letting you know it tickles. She and Peaches are from the same litter and were born in the shipyard. She is spayed and is approximately 5 years old. Tiger is a Calico with lots of white and lovely markings. She is a bit overweight being in a multi-cat household. We would be happy to recommend some low carb foods so she can loose weight but still get proper nutrition. She gets along well with other cats, but can be adopted solo or with her buddy Peaches. See pic of them cuddling together! Please send an e-mail to dcmcats@yahoo.com for an application and include an introduction about yourself and your household, and a little about your typical daily and weekend schedule and activities is like, if you are interested in meeting Tiger.

Story
Sweet Girl Peaches – Special Needs Kitty Contact dcmcats@yahoo.com Peaches is a sweet cat who craves attention! She was rescued from a shipyard where she was found abandoned with another cat. She is so very sweet and is affectionate, and loving and easy going. She is spayed and is about 5 years old. She is great with other cats and loves to wash one of the rescued feral cats. She just needs some help getting in shape! She is a big Calico with a pretty face and beautiful green eyes. She is a special needs kitty who requires help with grooming until she looses weight, she cannot reach all her parts. Her rescuer is unable to keep her separated from other cats and works long hours, so she has access to food all the time. She requires a home where she can be fed separately and not free fed, so she can be more active. She liked to run on an exercise wheel when she was thinner. Peaches gets along well with other cats, but can be adopted solo or with her buddy Tiger. See pic of them cuddling together. Her rescuer is looking for someone who is experienced with special needs cats or with cats who need to watch their weight. Peaches will need to loose weight gradually so that she does not overtax her liver, or feel deprived. We are happy to recommend some low carb cat foods for her special diet. Please email dcmcats@yahoo.com for an application and include a little about yourself and your household and what your typical daily and weekend schedule is like, so we can help you decide if Peaches is the perfect cat for you! And also please include any experience taking care of a special needs or kitties who need to watch their figures! Or if would like some guidelines.

Story
Beautiful Callie, A Chill Mellow Cat Contact: dcmcats@yahoo.com Callie is a beautiful tortoiseshell cat who showed up and had 3 kittens before she could be spayed. She is a sweet low key girl who likes to chill out and spend her days cuddling in her various cat beds cuddling her stuffed animal toys-her favorite being lamb chop! She does not like to be alone. Callie loves being inside having people and soft beds and plenty to eat. She is fluffy with medium length fur and is very soft. She very much enjoys hanging out with people and being pet and sitting next to her humans, but not sitting on your lap and is not too fond with getting picked up. But Callie is happy to be brushed and pet all day long! She is ok with other mellow cats but doesn’t seek out other kitties. She will play occasionally play with wand toys but really prefers to chill with you. She will watch what you do and is a quiet kitty. Callie would be a great choice for someone as a companion cat for someone or a couple who have a quiet home and like to chill out or for an older person who prefers relaxing to partying. She is a beautiful and healthy cat! Callie had a full blood panel done and is fully vaccinated and tested negative for both Feluk and FIF. She had some surgery on her for an injury when she was rescued but it has healed completely. Please send an email to dcmcats@yahoo.com for an application and include a little about yourself and your household, and what your typical daily and weekend schedule is like, so we can help you decide if Callie is your perfect cat!

Story
4wk old female diluted tortoiseshell found in Gramercy living near a ditch with her brother Murray. We were able to get her into our rescue and provide her warmth and love and an endless bowl of food which she definitely loves. She loves to sleep next to her brother Murray and Moore and can be seen playing with them and stealing their toys. She is still a little fearful of humans like her brother Moore but will let you pick her up but still gets scared. We are working with her daily and hope she will be ready for adoption soon. If you are interested in learning more about Maggie just reach out to us- she is a beauty Please visit our website https://b2brescue.org/ to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
We have had Freddie since he was 8 weeks old. He was born May 9, 2026. He is a high energy cat. He is a biter and seems to prefer men. He is not working out in our household because he bites me snd attacks our two female cats. I think his best option is to go to a house where he can go outside and is the only cat - maybe another younger cat would be good for him but we are not in a situation where we can take on a 4th cat. He liked our German shepherd when he was a kitten but our dog passed away last November. I’m not sure how he would be with a new dog.
