Story
If your dream cat is equal parts chill and charming, you are going to love Lady Bug 🐞This gorgeous 2 year old tortie takes everything in stride. Cats, dogs, new environments. It is all the same to her. She is unfazed, easygoing, and simply happy to hang out with her pals. She brings a calm, steady presence that makes her a wonderful fit for so many different homes.She enjoys a good play session and will happily chase a wand toy, but she is just as content lounging nearby and keeping you company. Shake a bag of Temptations crunchy treats and you will have her full attention. Once she settles in, her soft, steady purr is never far behind.Lady Bug is the kind of companion who just fits. Playful, peaceful, and ready to be someone’s very best friend. 🧡🖤___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

About Ten Lives:Ten Lives Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization located in Rhode Island. Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered.

🐝 Meet Barnabee! 🐝The air is buzzing with cuteness, and this dapper boy is wearing his best tuxedo as he makes his debut on the adoption scene! 4-year-old Barnabee is a gentle, mellow charmer who only needs two things: food and a lap to sit on. He loves attention and just simply wants someone to hang out with. In fact, he will be sure to remind you with his meows when your presence and head scratches are requested!Barnabee is looking for a home filled with love, cozy beds and pawsome wand toys. This calm lap cat gets along with other friendly felines, and while not tested with that gentle purrsonality of his we think he would be ok with kids and maybe even a relaxed doggo with proper introduction! No one can resist Barnabee's adorable chubby cheeks. Don't miss your chance, fill out an application today!*You can meet Barnabee at PetSmart in North Smithfield today. Please avoid phone calls to the store, our team at Ten Lives is the best source to answer any questions you have! ___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

This bird watching extraordinaire loves recharging in sun beams, having his magnificent fur brushed, and extra amounts of pets. He's the type of cat who will never leaf you on read and will be by your side for all your daily routines. Bedtime? He knows it and is sometimes the first there ready for zZzZz's!Forrest is an early bird, up with the sun and ready to play. If you prefer to sleep in, he'll find things to keep him entertained or strategize to get you up and going! Speaking of going, Forrest loves to play and goes all in with his favorite toys. He can get a little carried away with excitement, so he hopes an adopter who can read his kitty cues of overstimulation and find redirection is reading this right now!Forrest is ready to spruce things up, looking for an adult home where he can be your one and only feline companion. He has been very tolerant with doggos and would likely do well with other calm dogs after proper introduction.
