Story
  Meet Ophelia — a stunning light gray tabby beauty with a personality just as lovely as her silvery coat.   At just 9 months old, Ophelia is the perfect blend of playful kitten energy and devoted companion. By day, she’s a curious little adventurer, happily exploring her surroundings, chasing toys, and investigating every interesting corner she can find. She has that bright, intelligent spark that makes you smile just watching her.   But when the sun goes down, Ophelia transforms into a full-time cuddle professional. She is an incredibly snuggly “sleep by your side” kind of girl who believes bedtime is best spent close to her person. Her purr motor switches on the moment you sit down, and it doesn’t take much to get her rumbling with contentment. She doesn’t just like affection — she thrives on it.   Ophelia is also delightfully chatty. She will happily carry on little conversations with you throughout the day, greeting you when you walk into the room and following you from place to place like your tiny gray shadow. If you’ve ever wanted a loyal feline best friend who truly bonds with her human, she is your girl.   And let’s talk about her confidence — the camera flash? Not a problem. A new person in the room? She handled it like a pro. She was easy to photograph because she is calm, secure, and naturally comfortable being admired (as she should be!). She knows she’s cute — and she absolutely is.   If you are looking for a vocal, affectionate, devoted companion who will fill your home with purrs, personality, and love, Ophelia is ready to claim her forever family.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to apply to adopt Ophelia.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comFebruary 26, 2026, 11:08 pm

Story
A brother and sister duo! Leo and Luna are 2yrs old (March 4th is their birthday!) they’re the sweetest babies I’ve ever known and are incredibly affectionate and talkative, always active so I’d love if they went to a family that could love them and care for them in they way they deserve. They love toys and they get along with kids and adults alike. As long as you can give them a big cuddle they’re happy :) They’re house trained and have never been outside except for grooming and vet appointments! They love each other very much and are inseparable so if you’re looking for two furry friends to add to your family they’re perfect

Story
Jay is a handsome, 16 week old tuxedo boy. He is up-to-date on all vaccines, microchipped and neutered. Jay loves to sleep on a pile of toys (like a dragon guarding his hoard). Jay is the largest in his litter, but he is a gentle giant. Jay can be a bit timid with new people and places, but with patience and love will blossom into a loving, affectionate member of your family. He is great with his litter box and eats like a champ. To apply to adopt Jay, please go to Laurelcats.org and click the "Adoptions" link.

hello! Bear was purchased at a nearby Petsmart, he is about 5 months old now so he needs a home that can provide enough care to him. He’s very playful, sometimes talkative, and will let you pick him up and hug him however you want to lol.

Story
Meet Juke – Handsome Gray Tabby (1 y/o) 🐾 Juke just turned 1 this week! He and his brother, 21, were rescued together from a neighborhood stray mama cat and have been together since birth. He’s fully vetted: 3 distemper shots (May–July 2025), rabies vaccine, and neutered (Sept 2025). Juke is healthy, playful, and incredibly affectionate. He loves to cuddle, wants to be petted all the time, and is definitely a talker—he’ll happily chat with you throughout the day! He would thrive in a fun, SAFE, loving home. I would love for him to be adopted with his brother, but I understand if that’s not possible. After a year of trying, my older resident cats have not adjusted, and he deserves a peaceful home where he can truly flourish. Please help give my boy(s) the forever home they deserve. 💛
