Story
Age: 10 months old Gender: Female Breed: Domestic shorthair cat Weight: 7.5 lbs Personality: Miss RuPaul was found in a parking lot in Mississippi at just a couple weeks old and then was flown to TAP. She is very friendly and energetic. She loves to play and make biscuits on her fuzzy blanket. Like all babies she loves food and attention and if you’ve got those you’re good in her book! She is dog and kitty friendly and most likely good with kids (haven't met them yet). Education: She wears a diaper as she is incontinent. Favorite Activities: Playing with any toys but especially strings Looking for: A home where she will have toys and people to give her attention. Ideally no stairs she will need to go up or down. She is so full of love and playfulness. She is fearless and brings so much joy to the home she is in. She may look different but inside she is the exact same as any other kitten. If you need a ray of sunshine that’s Ru Paul! Special needs: Her back legs are paralyzed and she wears a diaper because she can not control when she goes to the bathroom. Paraplegic, suspect secondary to spinal trauma. No pain and no surgical intervention is needed. Adoption Fee: $ 50 ##2210441##

Story
Hello, I’m Camden! I was a young mama cat that raised five kittens out on the streets. These kittens were trapped and adopted out by a shelter.When I was fixed, I was supposed to return back outside. My trapper noticed that I enjoyed the company of people and brought me inside to foster. I enjoy a window perch, wet food treats, and playing with my circular track toy with a golf ball spinning around in it. I love to chase the ball and can stop it on a dime. I can be protective of my own safety around other cats being on the streets all my life, I am not if I would enjoy the company of other cats yet.I am soo excited for my life indoors with my forever home!

Story
My name is Hamilton. I’m a sleek black gentleman with a smooth, toothless smile—every last tooth was pulled because of stomatitis, and it fixed the problem completely. I don’t need any meds or special treatment now. I’m just an easy, friendly, indoor boy who wants a stable home.I’m curious about everything and like to follow you around to see what you’re up to. I’m social, gentle, and always ready for attention, but I’m not demanding. I just want to be part of the household and have a place where I can relax, explore, and be loved. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate companion with a perfect purr, I’m your guy.

Story
Hi, I’m Andrew! I’m a petite tuxedo gentleman with a big personality and an even bigger love for my humans. I’m the kind of cat who likes to be wherever you are — I’ll follow you around the house, chirping and chatting to let you know I’m here and very interested in whatever you’re doing.I love being pet and will lean right into your hand for more. I absolutely enjoy lounging right next to you on the couch like your loyal little shadow. And when it’s playtime? Oh, you’ll know. I’ll proudly bring you my favorite toy and chirp until you notice me.My hobbies include watching bird videos on YouTube, climbing cat trees, chasing toys, and exploring my world. In my first foster home, I got along great with a polite dog and a friendly adult male cat, so I’d likely be happy in a calm home with respectful animals.I came into Smittens with an ear infection, but thanks to a special hydrolyzed protein diet and twice-weekly ear cleanings, I’m feeling so much better.If you’re looking for a chirpy, playful, affectionate little guy who will follow you around and make every day more fun, I think we’d be perfect together. ??

Story
Hello, I`m Teddy, and I`m ready to steal your heart! I`m a sweet girl who is an absolute master of fun and snuggles.I’m an active and playful kitten, and I have some very sophisticated taste in toys! My absolute favorite is that little four-level ball twirly toy. I`m pretty smart—I`ve actually figured out how to use my paws on each side to keep the ball from getting past me! I also love playing `kitty soccer` all night long with my tiny jingle water polo ball, and I can`t resist chasing a good feather toy. If you bring the toys, I bring the entertainment!I`m a curious cat, and that extends to all creatures! I`m especially curious about dogs and would probably love to have a friendly canine sibling, provided we have a slow and proper introduction.While I love to run and play, I`m also a huge snuggle bug. When you pick me up, I totally melt into you! My absolute favorite thing is when we snuggle up together with a cozy blanket—I`ll fall asleep right on top of you! Just a quick note: if you approach me too fast, I can still get a little startled, so please move gently and slowly until I get to know you better.I`m looking for a loving home that appreciates my smart, playful side and my incredibly cuddly nature. Are you ready for a sweet, smart, and snuggly Teddy in your life?As a young kitten, I must be adopted to a home with another playful young cat or adopted as a pair with another age appropriate kitten.
