Story
JJ is about just over a year old with his birthday being august 5th 2025. His mama was unexpectedly pregnant and gave birth to 3 kittens which one of them was JJ. He is super friendly, would never purposefully hit, hiss, or bite anyone, playful, a little shy at first but he breaks out of his shell quickly, social with other cats, VERY food motivated. I'm looking for a nice chill new home for him to live in preferably with less than 3 kids or no kids, no dogs, he is used to being around other cats, one other cat or a couple others is preferable.

They love spending time together, playing, and offering each other comfort, and they’re looking for a forever home where they can continue their journey as a pair. Joyful is a beautiful girl who enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like watching birds flutter outside the window and snuggling up with her favorite person. She may be a little shy at first, but once she gets comfortable, she’ll happily stay by your side and remind you when it’s time for pets and affection. She even loves sleeping with you! Simon and Joyful share a special bond that makes them such a wonderful pair. They bring companionship, love, and twice the sweetness to a home, and they’ll be happiest finding a family who will welcome them both.

Story
Meet Pearl & Edgar! Pearl and Edgar are a special bonded pair who are looking for a quiet, loving home where they can settle in together and feel safe. Edgar is the more reserved of the two and will need plenty of patience and time to warm up to his new family. Luckily, he has Pearl by his side! Pearl is typically the more outgoing of the pair and helps Edgar feel comfortable when they’re experiencing new environments and situations. Once Edgar feels safe and settled, he’s known to show his sweet, cuddly side—always on his own terms, of course! Pearl is also a little shy and would appreciate a peaceful, low-traffic home where she and Edgar can relax and take things at their own pace. These two may need a little time to come out of their shells, but watching them gain confidence together will be incredibly rewarding. If you have a quiet home and a patient heart, Pearl and Edgar could be the perfect pair to welcome into your family. If you are interested in Pearl and Edgar, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with them at any time.

Story
Meet Goblin! Goblin is a sweet, independent girl who likes to do things on her own time. She’s a sensitive kitty who would thrive in a quiet, calm home where she can relax and build a relationship at her own pace. When meeting Goblin for the first time, let her come to you. She can be hesitant about being petted, but she may surprise you by deciding when she’s ready for affection. Right now, she especially enjoys a good brushing! She’ll let you know when she’s had enough, too—Goblin can become overstimulated easily, so giving her space when she asks for it is an important part of loving her. Goblin would do best with an adopter who understands independent cats and is comfortable reading feline body language and recognizing when a kitty needs a little space. In return, you’ll get to experience the special bond that comes from earning the trust of a cat who chooses you. When Goblin first comes home, she’ll need a quiet room of her own to decompress and settle in. Giving her time to adjust and bond with her new surroundings and family will help her feel safe and confident. If you’re looking for a gentle, independent companion and are willing to let the relationship grow at her pace, Goblin may be your girl. If you are interested in Goblin, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with her at any time.
