Calico kittens & cats in Whitewater, Wisconsin

6 month old feral kitten was found during the -30F weather we had a few weeks ago. We caught her and brought her inside to keep from freezing, and have been caring for her since. This cat has quickly warmed up to people, and is a good lap cat. We originally took her in to a TNR program for spay and rabies shot. Later, we were able to get her to our vet for a full check-up. In good physical health - just minor frost-bite to the tip of the one ear. However, she did test positive for Feline Leukemia virus. As such, she needs to be an indoor only cat. She has been kept isolated from our other cats by means of a large wire cage, and she took straight to the litter box in it. Since she has her adult teeth in, our vet placed her age at least 6 months, but no more than a year. I would say it's on the younger side. This is a really sweet little animal, and I'm sad to say that we can't provide a home for her, but we will continue to foster until we can find her permanent home.

I adopted my cat at the age of 1 and had her for 4 years. She is super sweet and a big people person, she will always want to be wherever you are or where people are. She likes to sleep under the blanket, and is very docile when holding her. She likes to meow and talk. She gets stressed around other animals so she is a solo pet. Hoping to find her someone who can bring munchkin a good home!

Iris is quiet and shy, she'd do best in a quiet, adult only home as an only cat

Born: April 11, 2024 Adoption Donation: $200 Meet Friday – A Gentle Soul Looking for Love Friday is a beautiful calico cutie with a quiet, gentle nature. Coming from a hoarding situation, she’s still learning to trust people, but one thing is for sure—she absolutely loves other cats! Having feline friends gives her confidence, and she would thrive in a home with a social, friendly kitty to show her the ropes. Though she’s very shy, Friday has a sweet heart and just needs a patient adopter who will give her the time and space to feel safe. If you have a calm home and a kind heart (and maybe a kitty friend waiting), Friday might be the perfect addition to your family. Are you the one to give this shy girl the love and security she deserves? All cats are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, and FeLV/FIV tested at the time of adoption.

Meet Mr. Tracey – Your Future Feline Spy! Mr. Tracey came to us back in March from a hoarding situation, joining the ranks of other incredible cats who found their way here. Shortly after his grand entrance, we had a delightful ringworm outbreak (because who doesn’t love a little drama?), and poor Mr. Tracey was understandably petrified. Honestly, I thought our friendship was doomed forever! Fast forward a few months, and guess what? He’s learning that he’s safe and loved! Sure, he still doesn’t quite like me—he’s taken the art of creeping and spying to a whole new level, hiding in every crevice he can find. But hey, that just means he’s my own personal feline ninja! And despite his aloofness, I can’t help but love this quirky little guy. Mr. Tracey is now a strapping one-year-old, almost ready for his forever home (I promise, he’s mostly ready). He’d thrive best with a buddy, whether that’s from our cafe or a resident kitty willing to share the limelight. This handsome young man adores climbing to dizzying heights, indulging in treat feasts, and of course, playing like the true goofball he is. So, if you’re in the market for a cat who will keep you entertained with his sneaky antics and occasional sass, consider adopting Mr. Tracey! Not only will you be providing him with the lifetime of spoils he deserves, but you’ll also be creating space for us to save more fabulous felines just like him. Adopt Mr. Tracey today and get ready for some serious cat shenanigans! -Neutered -Microchipped -Vaccinated -FIV/FeLV Negative -Monthly Preventative Care -Ready to spy and judge you from afar Adoption Fee: $100 for the month of February!
