Kittens and cats in West Springfield, Massachusetts

Sneezy is one of a litter of seven kittens who were named after the Seven Dwarves. she is very shy and, while curious and always comes over to her foster parents when they come into the room, tends to shy away from being touched, except when she is sleepy, in which case she loves being pet. She will need an adopter who is patient with her and allows her to feel safe on her own terms. She is very playful and loves toys, especially wand-style toys. She is bonded with her sister, Happy, and feels safer when they are together, so they must be adopted together. The total fee for adopting both is $550.  May 20, 2025, 10:40 pm

Meet Cauldron, a bewitching cat who will charm the socks off you. He has been in foster care, casting a spell on everyone with his affectionate nature and endless, mesmerizing purrs. Cauldron is amazingly sweet and social, especially when you consider his difficult past in a hoarding situation. He loves everyone and everything: kids, other cats and, most of all, toys! This boy is always looking for pets and, if you are not petting him enough, he will let you know by gently taking your hand and rubbing it on his face. Hint, hint! Cauldron is particular about where he loves to be petted, however. His head, neck and chin are his preferred petting points. By watching his body language, you'll know if you've ventured into unchartered territory and, by the way, he's not a fan of being picked up. He loves to explore, play with new things (everything is a toy to him) and very much wants to be with his people, even if is he playing independently nearby. Cauldon is wonderful, entertaining and social companion and in no time you'll be under his spell! If you're ready to adopt now: Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00!

Get ready to fall head over heels for Rattle, a wonderfully social and endlessly cheerful boy who has been dazzling his foster family with his sweet personality and non-stop commentary. This guy has opinions and he’s not afraid to share them — his signature quack-meow greeting is guaranteed to make you smile every single time you walk through the door. Rattle is that magical blend of playful, friendly, and unbothered by basically anything life throws at him. He sleeps as hard as he plays, purrs like a tiny motorboat the entire time he’s hanging out with you, and sports an adorable little head-tilt that only adds to his charm. His foster mom says she’s not sure there’s a person or animal he wouldn’t like — he’s just that easygoing. This energetic boy LOVES toys and is a champion at keeping himself busy. Soft toys? Yes please. Ball-in-track toys? Absolutely. Wand toys? His absolute passion! He’s happiest when someone is waving a wand toy for him, and he’ll chase and bounce with total enthusiasm. Even basic drinking straws are a thrill in his world. Since he occasionally plays with his claws out, wand toys are a perfect way to keep the fun safe and super engaging. While he’s not a big cuddler yet, he adores company and thrives when people are around. Rattle has handled everything in foster like a total champ: medical care, quarantine, room changes — nothing slows his good vibes. Even car rides are only mildly annoying to him, and once he’s out of the carrier he’s instantly ready to explore, chat, and make new friends. He hasn’t interacted directly with the other animals in the home, but he’s seen the resident cat through a glass door and reacted with curiosity and confidence. With his adaptable nature, Rattle seems like the kind of cat who can settle happily into all kinds of households. If you’re looking for a bright, talkative, toy-loving companion who’s ready to bring joy, entertainment, and constant purrs into your life, Rattle is your guy. Ready to Adopt?

A “Tiny Spirit Kitten” is a feral or extremely shy kitten that has had no socialization with people in their first few months of life. These kittens will vary in terms of becoming social in their new homes; some may become very sweet and outgoing, while others may only ever trust you and no one else. They will all take patience, dedication and hard work to help them adjust into home life. Confinement to a single small room with a litter box, food, and water is a must. They do well in a home with other animals and, depending on the kitten, may even do well with children. They will go home with specific instructions that will need to be followed in order for everyone to have a successful transition.
