Story
This 1-year-old, 7.0 lb lady is spayed and up to date on shots, and she takes her role as a loving companion very seriously. Just like her Parks & Rec namesake, Leslie is sweet, loyal, and deeply devoted… once you’ve earned her trust. She may be a little reserved at first, but give her time and she’ll show you her warm, affectionate side. Leslie is also a protector — of her space, her people, and her personal boundaries. She believes in mutual respect, consent, and a well-run household. (No surprise—she would absolutely thrive with a color-coded calendar.) If you listen to her cues, she’ll reward you with companionship, charm, and quiet devotion. Looking for a cat who’s loving, independent, and knows exactly who she is? Leslie Knope is ready to run your heart… with dignity. Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!! Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, ($25-125 +TAX) special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.

Mischa is very shy at first it takes her sometime to warm up. She loves to snuggle. She likes her peace and quiet but also loves her playtime too. She has a sister too from the same litter (Nelly) I would love it if they could go together but I am just making sure they both go to a good home. Perks if I dont have to seperate them.

Story
Estimated DOB: 10/29/2025 Getta was welcomed into rescue with her momma, Pumpkin, and six siblings. She LOVES puff balls! She will hoard them all and carry them around with her as she plays! Getta is sweet, a little bit sassy (just the right amount) and always game for chase with her siblings. She has the cutest personality and is all about affection with her humans. It isn't very often her purr isn't activated prior to being held! Go to http://allcatsrescue.org/kitten-adoption-application to apply to adopt, or email allcatsrescue@gmail.com for more information. Please note: Kittens who remain with a littermate or a similarly-aged companion are healthier, happier, and better socialized. If you adopt littermates, not only will they keep each other entertained and happier, we'll also give you a reduced adoption fee! Please inquire if interested in adopting a sibling or foster buddy. Two are always better than one! 😉 All of our adoptable kitties are current on shots, microchipped, altered (if old enough), and litter box trained. (TB)
