Story
Lola is a quiet gray tabby beauty — the kind of cat who feels like a healer wrapped in fur. She’s an adult mama cat, likely around two years old, and is believed to have once lived life as a barn cat. She’s the kind of soul who leaves you wondering where she began and what she’s seen along the way. Lola has known loss, and somehow she’s turned that experience into deep gentleness and devotion. She forms a strong, meaningful bond with her person, offering comfort through steady, soothing purrs and constant companionship. You’ll often find her curled up on you or trailing behind you from room to room like a loyal little shadow. She’s exceptionally smart, loves to play fetch, and communicates in the softest ways — gentle trills instead of loud meows. With her wild, native-cat beauty and signature white mittens, Lola feels both untamed and deeply nurturing all at once. Lola thrives as an indoor cat, where she can soak up affection and return it tenfold. She does well with other cats. Her comfort level with dogs is still unknown, so she would do best in a calm, respectful environment if dogs are present. Lola isn’t just a pet — she’s a soul companion, perfect for someone seeking quiet connection, healing, and unconditional presence. If you’re ready to welcome a “healing cat” into your life, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Lola is ready to sign up for the life journey with you.                  January 20, 2026, 9:56 pm

Meet Calypso & Sabo – Shy Sweethearts Who Shine with Kitty Friends! Calypso and Sabo are a very shy but sweet, playful pair of kitties who are looking for a quiet, indoor-only home where they can feel safe and supported. While they do not need to be adopted together, having other friendly cats in the home is a must for both of them—they gain confidence and comfort from feline companionship.They do well with respectful teens who understand patience and gentle interactions. Their feelings about dogs are unknown, so a calm, dog-free home (or very careful introductions) would be best.Calypso & Sabo’s Comfort Checklist:Plenty of comfy hiding spots and cozy nap zonesCat trees and scratching posts for climbing and confidence-buildingWindow perches for peaceful bird-watchingTONS of toys, especially interactive ones and catnipFavorite Things:Treats, wet food, catnip, gentle playtime, and relaxing near their kitty friendsIf you already have social resident cats and a calm home, Calypso and Sabo would love to grow, play, and blossom with your feline crew—together or separately.
