Story

Meet Rowan – The Resilient Gentleman with the Frost-Kissed Ears Rowan’s story is one of strength, sweetness, and second chances. Born on May 29, 2016, this handsome black and white gentleman has seen both the warmth of a home and the harshness of the streets. After being adopted and sadly abandoned, Rowan had to fend for himself outdoors, where the cold left its mark — the tips of his ears are missing from frostbite. But don’t let that fool anyone — those little ear nubs only add to his charm and tell the story of a survivor with a heart full of love. Despite everything he’s been through, Rowan remains incredibly affectionate and outgoing. He adores gentle pets and loves spending time with people who appreciate his calm, easygoing nature. He’s an older guy now, ready to trade the chaos of the streets for cozy naps, soft blankets, and a quiet home where he can finally relax. Rowan would do best in a peaceful environment — no dogs, please, and children over 13 who understand that mealtime is his private time. He might enjoy the company of one other mellow cat, but he prefers to be the boss of his domain. Fully vetted and microchipped, Rowan is ready to start his next chapter with someone who will never let him down again. He’s proof that even after the coldest winters, warmth and love can still bloom. Rowan is waiting for his forever home — could it be yours? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

Story

Meet Ziggy, a kitten born 10/30/25. Ziggy is fluffy dark tabby boy with beautiful markings. He loves his foster mama. He will go up to her and mew, begging for affection! He also enjoys running around with all his litter mates and playing with all the toys offered to him. He is eating well and uses his litter box perfectly. Ziggy is one of three remaining siblings. It is preferred that he either be adopted with one of his siblings or that he goes to a home with another young playful cat or kitten. Due to his high energy and playful nature, he would do best in a home with no dogs and children over the age of 13.

Story

Allow me to introduce Darius, a 1 year old beautiful medium haired boy! Darius is a shy boy who will take time to come out of his shell. He is gentle but will require some push by his human to play and socialize. His fur is like silk; he is so soft! Darius is young and does well with his foster friends. Though I believe he would also do well as an only cat. The more time his human has for him, the sweeter he will become. He loves his food - this will be the way to his heart! Darius requires a home with adults only, or adults and children 13+ experienced with cats. I believe he would do well as an only cat or in a home with 1-2 other cats. He has not been around dogs and would do best in a home without dogs. He is neutered, has age appropriate vaccinations, parasite treated, tested negative for both FeLV and FIV and micro chipped. If you would like to adopt Darius please complete an online Adoption Form at our website https://feralsandkittensandcatsohmy.org/adoption-application/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

Story

Armstrong is pure sunshine wrapped in fur. This orange and white boy was born 7/16/24. He’s full of personality and playfulness, always ready to chase a toy or pounce on a shadow. But when the games are done, he turns into the biggest mush—a true lap cat who melts into every cuddle. He’s happiest when he’s close, following from room to room, making sure no moment is spent apart. This boy loves his meals almost as much as he loves his humans. His heart is huge, his purrs are loud, and his devotion is endless. Armstrong would thrive best as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the attention he craves. Because of his playful energy, a home with older children would be ideal. Born on July 16, 2024, Armstrong’s story began on the streets—hungry, alone, and searching for kindness. When he was found, his tiny body told the story of struggle, but his determined spirit showed he wasn’t ready to give up. With love, care, and full bellies of food, Armstrong blossomed into the incredible cat he is today. Armstrong is fully vetted and ready to bring warmth, laughter, and love to the family lucky enough to call him their own. His journey from the streets to safety is complete—now all he needs is a forever home to share his heart with. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.
