Story
Meet Rick — your future little house panther with a heart of gold! 🖤🐾 Rick is a handsome, all-black short-haired kitten who is equal parts playful explorer and affectionate cuddle bug. He spends his days romping around with his brothers, Victor and Sam, chasing toys, wrestling, and turning everyday moments into adventures. If it moves, Rick is curious about it! But once playtime winds down, Rick is more than happy to trade playtime curiosity for snuggles. He absolutely loves pets and will reward you with the sweetest, loudest purrs as he curls up in your lap. Rick would love a home where he can continue to play, explore, and soak up all the affection he deserves. Whether adopted with one of his brothers or into a home with another playful feline friend, Rick is ready to fill your life with love, laughter, and lots of purring. 🖤 The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV combo test, dewormer, flea treatment, age appropriate vaccines, and microchip. Lifeline Cat Rescue is a private 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on donations and volunteers.

Story
Seeking: a new forever home for our cat, Wednesday. She is a 5.5-year-old short hair, named for the distinctive black mark (“ashes” on her forehead. She is friendly and very affectionate to trusted family members. Over the past several months, Wednesday has struggled to adjust to our growing, boisterous house with young kids. We are hoping to rehouse her in a quiet setting, likely childfree. She has feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), a chronic bladder condition that is manageable but made worse by stress. Otherwise, she’s healthy, chipped, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. We adopted Wednesday from a shelter as a kitten and she has been always been an indoor cat. She has all her claws. She currently lives with another cat but would probably do best in a home without other pets.

Story
Sam is a mostly black, short-haired kitten with the cutest white patches on his chest and tummy — and don’t forget those tiny white toe beans! As if he wasn’t already unique enough, Sam has a special little twist at the end of his tail that makes him truly one of a kind. It’s his signature look, and it only adds to his charm. Sam is playful, curious, and always ready for fun — especially when it involves romping around with his brother Rick. The two make the perfect duo, chasing toys, pouncing, and practicing their kitten wrestling moves. If there’s an adventure happening, Sam wants to be part of it! After he’s gotten his playtime in, Sam is happy to settle down and enjoy some attention. He’s sweet, engaging, and will thrive in a home where he can continue to play, grow, and be loved. Sam would be over the moon to be adopted with Rick or into a home with another playful kitty friend. If you’re looking for a kitten with personality, charm, and a tail that tells its own story — Sam is your guy! 🖤✨ The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV combo test, dewormer, flea treatment, age appropriate vaccines, and microchip.

Story
Meet Victor, also lovingly known as “Mini Mama” — the spitting image of his beautiful mom with his handsome, sleek all-grey coat. 💙🐾 Victor is the sweet sibling of Rick and Sam, and while his brothers may jump right into the action, Victor tends to take a more thoughtful approach to the world. When he first arrived, he was timid and shy, preferring to observe from a safe distance. But with patience, lots of playtime, and a few tasty treats along the way, he has been bravely coming out of his shell more and more each day. Watching his confidence grow has been such a joy! Victor has a gentle, sensitive personality and truly blossoms in a calm, loving environment. Once he feels safe, his playful side shines — especially when he’s enjoying toys and spending time with Rick and Sam. He may take a little time to adjust in a new home, but the reward is a deeply sweet, devoted companion who will quietly steal your heart. Because of his shy start, Victor would do best with a patient adopter who will give him the reassurance he needs to fully settle in. Being adopted with one of his brothers — Rick or Sam — or joining a home with another friendly cat would help him continue building confidence. If you’re looking for a soft, soulful kitten with a stunning all-grey coat and a beautiful spirit, Victor (Mini Mama) is ready to grow, trust, and love in his forever home. 💙✨ The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV combo test, dewormer, flea treatment, age appropriate vaccines, and microchip.
