Story
Meet Bonnie: The Playful Lap Cat Bonnie is a charming 1-year-old female gray cat with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. Her soft, silvery fur and bright eyes make her a true beauty, but it’s her personality that really shines. Bonnie adores playtime and will happily chase toys, pounce on feather wands, and explore every nook and cranny of her home. After a fun play session, she transforms into the ultimate lap cat, curling up for snuggles and purring contentedly in your arms. While Bonnie is playful, she will communicate when she has reached her limit for playtime. Therefore, we do not recommend her placement in a household with children under the age of 12. Bonnie would thrive as the only cat in the home, soaking up all the attention, but she could also do well with one other feline companion. She’s looking for a loving family who will cherish her playful antics and affectionate nature. Ready to welcome a sweet, playful lap cat into your life? Bonnie is waiting to meet you! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

Story
Meet Collette and Tucker – The Perfect Pair! Double the love, double the fun! Collette and Tucker are an inseparable duo looking for their forever home together. Born on July 27, 2025, these two playful sweethearts are full of energy, curiosity, and affection. Collette is a stunning calico girl with a big personality to match her beautiful coat. She’s adventurous, loves to chase toys, and will happily curl up beside her brother after playtime. Tucker, her handsome gray and white brother, has soft medium-length fur and a gentle, goofy charm. He’s always ready for a game of chase or a cozy nap with his sister. These two share a special bond and bring out the best in each other. They love to romp, wrestle, and snuggle together, and their playful antics will fill any home with laughter and joy. Collette and Tucker are both fully vetted, microchipped and ready to start their next chapter. They get along well with other cats but would prefer a home without dogs. Because of their high energy and playful nature, they’d do best in a home with children over the age of 13 who can appreciate their spirited personalities. If you’re looking for a pair of loving, lively companions who will brighten every day, Collette and Tucker are the perfect match. They must be adopted together—because some bonds are simply too special to break. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

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
Meet Zinnia, a lovely Torbie girl born on June 18, 2024. Once a pet, she faced abandonment while pregnant and was left to navigate life on the streets. When rescued, she was found in a state of starvation and emaciation, having endured significant hardship in her brief life. Zinnia is still learning about play; she does not yet know how to engage with toys and may require guidance in this area. Despite her past, she displays a friendly and sweet disposition. Due to her experiences, she prefers to be the only cat in her home but may coexist peacefully with one other friendly feline. Zinnia would thrive in a household with older children or adults, and she would do best in a dog-free environment. She seeks a loving home where she can feel safe and cherished once again. She is spayed, has age appropriate vaccinations, parasite treated, tested negative for both FeLV and FIV and micro chipped. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.

Story
Lenox is a charming medium-haired black cat, featuring a unique patch of white under her neck. At just 2 years old, she was rescued from life on the streets after being abandoned. While she may initially be a bit shy around unfamiliar faces, she soon reveals her affectionate side. Lenox loves being held and enjoys delightful chin scratches. Although she isn't particularly keen on other cats, she might be able to tolerate a calm feline companion . Given her gentle temperament, we recommend a quiet home with only adults or children aged 12 and older. It’s essential that the household is dog-free. Lenox is spayed, parasite treated, has age appropriate vaccinations, tested negative for both FeLV and FIV and micro chipped. If you would like to adopt Lennox please complete an online Adoption Form at our website https://feralsandkittensandcatsohmy.org/adoption-application/ Or click the about us tab on this page and continue to our Adoption Application. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING AN APPLICATION: I take the time to write bios outlining the personality of each cat. To the best of my ability I determine if the cat would adjust to a household with young kids, dogs or other cats. If I feel they would not be a good match I state that in the description. Most of the cats that I rescue were abandoned and having a hard time surviving on the streets. I take them in, get them vetted/vaccinated and then let them decompress. PLEASE DO NOT fill out an application if you have young kids or dogs where I specifically state this would NOT be a good match. I will only contact you if I feel your application will be a good fit. 1) All the cats/kittens that are up for adoption will be spayed/neutered have age appropriate vaccinations, combo tested and treated for fleas and worms and microchipped. 2) An approved application is necessary prior to a meet and greet, 3) Submitting an application does not lock you into a commitment to adopt. 4) If you would like to meet one of our cats please submit an application at https://feralsandkittensandcatsohmy.org/adoption-form/ Find us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/carolsferalsny
