  Meet Pebbles! Pebbles – 3-year-old Calico – Looking for Her Forever Home If you’re looking for a work of art that purrs, meet Pebbles. This 3-year-old calico beauty is as sweet as she is striking, with snowy white fur, ginger and black patches, and those big, soft green eyes. Pebbles is a professional loafer — you’ll find her doing the perfect “loaf pose” with her paws tucked in, watching the world go by from the back of her favorite chair. She’s gentle, quiet, and observant, the kind of cat who will keep you company while you read, nap in a sunbeam nearby, and greet you with a soft head bump when she’s ready for affection. She loves cozy spots, cat tunnels, and batting a little toy around, but mostly she loves feeling safe and loved. She would thrive in a calm home where she can be the queen of her castle. Pebbles is 3 years young, litter-trained, and ready to trade her foster spot for a forever lap. Could that be yours? Why you’ll love her: Gorgeous low-maintenance calico coat Sweet, mellow, affectionate temperament Loves lounging and people-watching Perfect companion for a quiet home If you’d like to meet Pebbles, reach out today — she’s ready to bring a little extra color and a lot of love to your life.  Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com November 1, 2026, 1:42 pm

Story
Skunky is a female calico kitten who was born at the rescue back in July 2026 after her mother was abandoned on the doorstep of the rescue while in labor. Mom gave birth to three beautiful calico females whom are all different in personality, shade and patterns. Since birth mom and kittens have been together in a foster home where all have continued to be close but are now weaned and cleared by our rescue veterinarian for adoption. The three siblings are all posted here for adoption and are Skunky, CoCo, and Bootsie. Now at four months old they are ready for their forever homes and have been fully vaccinated and dewormed for parasites which all pets are naturally born with. The only thing Skunky will need upon being adopted is for her to be spayed which we require in our adoption contract to be completed by 7 months of age. The adoptive family will need to have her spayed by 7 months old unless their veterinarian has deemed it unsafe for medical reasons at which time we require proof from the veterinarian as to why it cannot be completed at that time. Otherwise if all is okay then we require proof of completed spay once it has been done from the adoptive family to ensure that she is not being bred and that there are not more unwanted animas in the world since that is our reasoning for being a rescue in the first place to save the animals in need as there are already too many pets that need homes in the world. Skunky is the third and last of her siblings to be born and her cute little stand-offish personality is one unique characteristic trait she has when she gets to know and love her humans. Skunky is the only dark colored calico kitten with practically no white colored fur unlike her two sisters. She was named Skunky due to the orange stripe on her face which goes from her forehead to the nose and it has reminded us of a skunk stripe since she was born. Skunky is called "Skunky Monkey" by her foster family as she and her mother as well as her siblings are all in a foster home currently looking for their forever homes. She is great with children, other cats (90%) of them time and dogs both big and little as they are surrounded by other pets dogs ad cats and children in their current foster home. Born inside and fully domesticated Skunky has not been outside and will be required when adopted to be indoors kept only cat. She loves to play hard to get for attention and will come up to her humans but then playfully sashes away like a game for them to come get her attention. She is very affectionate and like her siblings has such a loud purr motor when she is happy. She too likes to play with hair ties and just about anything else she can find when she is in the mood to play. Skunky likes to be babied and loves to be petted but is not always the biggest fan of being constantly picked up or held. She likes to snuggle and if caught off guard by another cat in the home she may tend to jump or hiss out of having been scared or unaware of their presence however Skunky is very social and tolerable of all other pets or children. She too has a diva like personality but is also very independent and can stay to herself if need be. She is outgoing but very quiet and not very vocal unless it is her happy time at which then the loud purr motor starts and doesn't stop for sometime. Skunky may be best for a single individual who has the time to make for her as she likes to be alone Moreso then not and as earlier stated is very independent for the most part especially in comparison to there other two sisters. So if you're looking for an amazing calm, quiet, playful, loving, loyal kitten to be your best friend or ride or die bestie for many years to come then Skunky may just be perfect for you.

Story
CoCo's mom was abandoned on our doorstep of the rescue while in labor and ended up giving birth to three beautiful female kittens with CoCo being one of them in July 2026. CoCo, Bootsie and Skunky are all females and were born in July 2026. All three are calico females and at four months now they are ready and cleared by our rescue veterinarian for adoption. All have been with fosters and are great with children, other cats and dogs both big and little sizes as they all live in a home now with other cats and dogs of different sizes therefore are very sociable. CoCo is a four month old calico female who is up to date with her vaccines and has been vetted as well as dewormed for parasites which all pets are born with. CoCo is not yet spayed due to her age and will required being spayed once adopted by the adoptive family who will be required to provide proof to our rescue once the spay is completed. We will require and it will be in the adoption contract that CoCo must be spayed by 7 months old unless it is deemed by the adoptive families veterinarian she cannot be for medical reasons which at that time we will require documentation of this for the contract. More about CoCo, she is a sweet, very playful, affectionate and warm kitten who is very social. She enjoys playing and chasing a hand on a bed or her siblings tails from time to time. She also likes to play with her foster sibling (dogs) tails too. She is a purr bug and has a very loud purr motor whenever she is happy. CoCo has started to come snuggle with her foster mom in her arms at times and has only once given love nibbles on her arm to get her attention which did not break skin nor cause any issues as it was her way of communicating she wanted to be loved and not ignored, This was spoken about with our rescue veterinarian and is a common practice for some kittens as they learn how to get attention from their humans and is normally something that is broken very quickly on its own. She is four months and is litter trained and since being born inside at the rescue she is fully domesticated and has never been outdoors for any reason. Her diva like personality is adorably cute and her goofy, lovable cuddle self will be great for an individual or family home. CoCo is very beautiful, smart, curious and loves to play with hair bands like black stretchy ponytail bands which she will bat around all over the house and has since started to inherit her mothers traits of catching or fetching them when thrown and bringing them back to you for more playtime. She too likes when her human comes down to her level and their hair is an option to bat around and play with. CoCo is an individual sweetheart with no real words to describe just how much her personality shows through just her actions and who she is. To meet CoCo is to fall in love with her. So if you're looking for an adorably cute cat with lots of spunk and personality but also the calm and chill aspects then CoCo may just be perfect for you or your family.

Story
Hi, our names are 'ilah' and 'Gemmi'. We are two beautiful 3 month old orange tabbie females (rare as most orange tabbies are genetically male). We are very playful, exploratory, curious, super smart, sweet and cuddly. We are both spayed, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and have all medical in check with paperwork as well as litter box trained. We were born indoors at our Foster Moms house in Mount Juliet, TN. so we have never been outdoors and for our safety need to live an indoor life protected from the harshness of the outside world. We get along well with other cats and make friends easily. We have never been around dogs, but if you have a dog that likes cats then we will certainly fit right in and easily adjust. We were born to our very Beautiful 1 year old Calico Mother named 'Roux' (Rue) who is very nurturing and adoring and from where we got our charming personalities and beautiful ginger coloring. Our Foster Mom gave us lots of cuddles, hugs, and kisses and we are hoping to find out Forever Home with an owner/ family who will Love us equally as much. We have so much Love to give and hope you will consider making us a part of your life. Our photos depict our charming photogenic personalities.   If you are interested in a bargain  bonded pair that will give you DOUBLE THE LOVE...then write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  We adopt to Tennessee and also to the northeastern corridor.  These pretty babies are double the sweetness in life.

Story
Meet Jazz, a sweet senior girl looking for a loving home! Jazz is approximately 13–14 years old. Her longtime owner, my coworker Lorrie, passed away unexpectedly in October. When I learned that her family planned to take Jazz to a shelter, I offered to bring her home. Jazz is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and friendly. She loves people, purrs constantly, and is happiest curled up in someone’s lap or relaxing nearby. She also enjoys quiet time on her own. Unfortunately, our two elderly Chihuahuas have struggled to adjust to sharing their home with Jazz. We believe she would thrive in a quiet, loving home, preferably without dogs, where she can enjoy plenty of companionship. Jazz has had a basic veterinary exam and received her rabies vaccination. After losing the person who loved her for so many years, she deserves a wonderful home where she can spend her golden years feeling safe, comfortable, and loved.
