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
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.

Story
Blair is a stunning light gray tabby with the softest fur and a heart full of sweetness. Born on July 2, 2024, she’s a gentle, laid-back girl who loves calm surroundings and quiet companionship. Her silvery-gray coat, brushed with soft stripes, gives her a graceful, classic beauty that perfectly suits her peaceful nature. Once a homeless kitten searching for food on the city streets, Blair has come a long way. She’s now a loving, trusting companion who enjoys gentle pets, cozy naps, and the simple comfort of being near her people. Because of her relaxed personality, Blair would do best in a calm home—one with adults or older children who can appreciate her easygoing spirit. She’d prefer a home without dogs but would be content sharing her space with one friendly cat. Blair is fully vetted, microchipped, and ready to find her forever family. She also has a sister, Bonnie, who is available for adoption as well, though they don’t need to be adopted together. If you’re looking for a soft, sweet, and serene companion to fill your home with quiet love, Blair is waiting to meet you. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption.
