Story
Estimated DOB:04/24/2026 Meet Boba! This tripod boy had a tough start to his young life, but he is now as strong and as agile as any four legged kitty. Boba loves to be around his family and is happy to tumble and play. He can be a snuggle bug whose loud purr will leave you NO question about his love for you! (He likes to jump and play, but for his safety, caution should be taken when he jumps down from high spaces.) Boba loves to sunbathe on his window hammock, play with springs and tunnels, balls and toy wands. Boba also has quite the vocabulary and is a talker! He will be quick to "chat" with you! He would do well with other pets, particularly if they will play with him. Boba is fascinated by TV. While he will watch anything, his favorite show is "Cat TV" on You Tube! Boba also enjoys eating, and may benefit from an electronic feeder or slow mat feeder. 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. All of our adoptable kitties are current on shots, microchipped, altered (if old enough), and litter box trained.

Story
Hi, I’m Annie! I may be a pretty gray-and-white tabby, but don’t let my good looks fool you—I’m not just here to be admired! I’m also a sweet and friendly girl who would love nothing more than to find my forever family. I’m 6 months old and weigh nearly 6 pounds, which means I still have plenty of kitten fun left in me! I’m ready to play, explore, lounge in a cozy spot, and keep my humans company. I’m also doing great with my litter box, so I’ve already got that important part of being a fabulous housemate down. And guess what? I’m friendly with cats, dogs, and kids! I’m pretty much ready to meet everyone and start my next adventure. All I need now is a forever home where I can grow up surrounded by love and plenty of attention. If a sweet, friendly little tabby sounds like the perfect addition to your family, maybe we’re meant to meet. Stop in at Heartland to meet me in person!

Story
If you’re looking for a little something sweet, Peanut Buttah is ready to be your next favorite snack! Peanut Buttah is a 4½-month-old brown tabby with a few little pops of orange sprinkled throughout her coat—just enough to make her extra special. She’s at the perfect age for exploring, playing, and getting into all the important kitten business. With a name this delicious, you’d better be prepared for plenty of sweetness! Come meet Peanut Buttah and see if this little tabby is the missing ingredient in your life. 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.
