Story
This fun loving, sassy mom is ready for her forever home.  After having 4 litters she was more than ready to say NO MORE! She loves to play with anything that moves. She is fine with other kittens and cats but can be by herself also and if allowed, she will sleep with you. If you'd like to meet this cat or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon. All our cats are neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed and flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped prior to adoption. Thanks for opting to adopt!August 17, 2026, 4:32 pm

Story
Meet Foxy, Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica 🩷These four cuties are new to RBARI and still getting used to shelter life. They were found outside of local animal control, suspected to have been left there. They came in very scared and hesitant around people and are still warming up to us as we get to know them better, but they're already turning into the sweetest little lovebugs! They're curious about our staff and will happily meet being pet with the tiniest purrs. They love to play and curl up to sleep in a big kitten pile. All four are about 10 weeks old and have been spayed/neutered - please apply to come and meet them! Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 3.13 Age: 0yrs 3mths 0wks

Story
Olive is an adorable rescue! She was born to a very good looking all black mother (dad unknown) under a porch. Mom didn’t have enough milk for all 5 kittens so the closest family stepped in to help feed and now they are human dependent. Olive is very playful and affectionate and has a deep, developed purr you will hear whenever she is happy - which is often! Now approximately 4 months old. Her first vet visit is tomorrow - spay should be scheduled within the next six weeks.

Story
We are looking for a loving forever home for our sweet 4-year-old girl. She is playful, sweet, and has lots of personality. She loves attention, enjoys playing, and absolutely loves sitting by the window watching birds. Unfortunately, she does not get along well with our other cats, so we feel she would be happiest as the only cat in the home. We want to find her a family where she can feel comfortable, loved, and truly thrive. One important thing to know about her is that she has a bad reaction to catnip, so she should not be given any catnip products. She is a sweet girl who deserves a loving home where she can be her happy, playful self. We hope to find someone who will love her as much as we do and give her the forever home she deserves.
