Kittens and cats in Cranston, Rhode Island

Tabby is a 15-year-old calico who is shy and independent. She is looking for a quiet, peaceful home with someone who will give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable and open up at her own pace

We have so many kittens to love. Black, grey, tux All very socialized and loving. All up to date on vaccines and already microchipped and spayed/neutered. You are welcome to come visit the kitten room and see who chooses you! Rhode Island only for adoption per state laws.

Meet Ernest. Some cats are friendly. Some cats are affectionate. And then there's Ernest. He is a very handsome 1 year old looking for his people, and we have a feeling whoever finds him is going to wonder how they ever lived without him. Ernest has the kind personality that leaves you instantly obsessed within minutes of meeting him. He's incredibly loving and wonderfully gentle. As if that wasn't enough, Ernest is also a polydactyl, meaning he comes equipped with a few extra toes. More toes means more adorable oversized paws to admire while he's busy asking for chin scratches and soaking up every bit of attention you'll give him.

Adoption Fees Adoption fees help us continue to provide lifesaving care to animals in need. EGAPL Heart of RI is a nonprofit animal rescue and does not receive state or federal funding. The cost of veterinary care, food, supplies, staffing, transport, medications, and daily shelter operations has increased significantly.While adoption fees do not cover the full cost of caring for each animal, they help offset a portion of the medical care, housing, and support each pet receives before going home. Every adoption also helps make room for the next animal who needs safety, care, and a fresh start. DOGS Puppies under 1 year: $675 Adult dogs 1 year and older: $575 Dog adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine Distemper/parvo vaccines given while in our care, based on the dogs age and vaccine schedule Leptospirosis vaccine started while in our care, when age-appropriate Bordetella vaccineInitial deworming Heartworm testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea and tick prevention or treatment while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a leash and collar with you at the time of adoption, or ask our team what size is best for your new dog. CATS Kittens under 1 year: $425 Adult cats 1 year and older: $325 Cat and kitten adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine FVRCP/distemper vaccines given while in our care, based on the cat or kittens age and vaccine scheduleInitial deworming FeLV/FIV testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea treatment or prevention while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a secure cat carrier with you at the time of adoption. A Note About Puppy and Kitten Vaccines Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines as they grow. We provide as many age appropriate distemper vaccines as possible while they are in our care, but young animals may still need additional boosters after adoption.Your adoption counselor will review your pets vaccine record with you so you know exactly what has been done and what may still be needed with your veterinarian. A Note About Leptospirosis Vaccines for Dogs We start dogs and puppies on the leptospirosis vaccine when age appropriate. Because some dogs are adopted before the booster is due, the full lepto series may not be completed before adoption. Your adoption counselor will review your dog's vaccine record with you and let you know whether a booster is still needed with your veterinarian. After Adoption Veterinary Care We recommend setting up an appointment with your veterinarian shortly after adoption. This helps your new pet establish care, allows your veterinarian to review their medical and vaccine history, and ensures they stay on track for any boosters or follow up care they may need. Flea and tick prevention, as well as heart worm prevention for dogs, are typically prescription products. Your veterinarian can help choose the safest and most appropriate preventatives for your pet based on their age, weight, medical history, and lifestyle. Why Adoption Fees Matter Every animal who comes through our doors receives individualized care. Some arrive healthy and simply need vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and a safe place to land. Others need emergency care, diagnostics, treatment for parasites or infections, dental care, behavior support, special food, foster care, or weeks to months of daily shelter care before they are ready for adoption.Your adoption fee helps support that full circle of care. It helps the pet you are bringing home, and it helps the next animal who needs us. Thank you for choosing adoption and for supporting the lifesaving work of EGAPL Heart of RI.

Jeff Foxworthy is 3 months old and is ready for his forever home. He has been studying a map of Rhode Island and has one question: WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF NAMING THESE ROADS? Because we're pretty sure the meeting went something like: "Eh... just put something on the sign." Which brings us to Rhode Island's version of "Here's Your Sign." Breakneck Hill Road. Sounds less like a destination and more like the emergency room report afterward. Snake Hill Road. Absolutely not. That's not a street. That's a warning. Stub Toe Lane. Someone definitely named that immediately after walking down it barefoot. And then... Purgatory Road. At this point Jeff has noticed a pattern. Snake. Stub your toe. Break your neck. Purgatory. Rhode Island really planned the whole itinerary. Thankfully, Jeff is much sweeter than the roads he's been reading about. This adorable little guy is ready for a forever home. Preferably at an address that doesn't sound like a workplace injury.

Aesop is still new around here but be is already dressed like senior management. His name may be Aesop, but there is no moral to this story. He is a 3 month old, miniature house panther, a professional hallway ambusher, and the founder of a highly suspicious organization currently operating beneath your couch. Aesop can be adopted separately from his sister, Fable. He wishes her nothing but success, preferably in another home, where she cannot touch his snacks. Adopt him before he acquires legal representation. Starting the Application Process To begin the adoption process, please fill out an application online and then visit us during adoption hours.

Bill Burr is a 12 week old kitten looking for a home that can tolerate strong opinions about traffic, municipal geography, and waiting 40 minutes for ice cream. He has been in Tiverton for approximately twelve minutes and already has several concerns. First: WHY IS EVERYBODY DOIN' 37 MILES AN HOUR?! There is nobody in front of you. Nothing is happening. "C'MON, LINDA. WHAT'RE WE DOIN' HERE?!" Then somebody explains Tiverton. Apparently there are two. North Tiverton. South Tiverton. Technically the same town. Emotionally? Different countries. Mention Fall River and Bill immediately interrupts: "WATCH YA MOUTH." Then someone suggests Gray's. Bill sees the line. FORTY MINUTES?! "C'mon... Helger's is right down the road!" And speaking of lines... Some of you remember Guimond's. Whenever the Powerball jackpot got high, the line wrapped around the building. Everybody convinced this was finally the ticket. "Where ya goin', Frank?" "Someplace nice." "Florida?" "Maybe." "Fall River?" "WHAT DID I JUST TELL YA?!" Then Bill visits Grinnell's. Beautiful beach. Beautiful view. About 400 people who "just discovered this hidden gem." "Great. They found us. Nobody tell 'em about anywhere else." Finally, Bill notices Tiverton's scenery. Stone wall. Horse. Farm. Hydrangeas. Beautiful old house. CASINO. "No warning whatsoever." Starting the Application Process To begin the adoption process, please fill out an application online and then visit us during adoption hours.
