Story
Meet Koko! Koko is a snuggly and social kitty who loves being a part of an active family.  She enjoys supervising her humans and helping them do their daily tasks. She will watch you do the dishes and make sure you don't leave a spot. She will make sure you maintain good form while working out, and she will accompany you doing work on your computer or laptop. She is rather mesmerized by the laptop screen. When she isn't being an active manager of her family,  she loves to play with her toys. Her favorite is the bird toy. She also likes finding missing socks, "catching" the sock, and gifting it back to her humans.  You can find her shamelessly lounging in the sunbeams some days, and working hard making biscuits on fluffy blankets. At the end of a long hard day, she enjoys winding down and eating a nice salmon dinner, watching an action movie, and sleeping in your lap.  Koko will definitely be your new best friend!

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, 10:22 pm

Meet Berlioz This beautiful boy is the definition of a perfect lap cat. With his soft gray stripes, wise green eyes, and the sweetest little face, Berlioz has mastered the art of cozy companionship.
