Story
Michelina is a 6-month-old dark grey and black tabby with white markings and a whole lot of kitten charm! This little lady has a beautiful, unique look that makes her stand out from the crowd. At this age, she’s just hitting that sweet spot between tiny kitten and growing-up girl, and she’s ready to find a home where she can continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a young feline friend with striking good looks and plenty of personality waiting to shine, Michelina would love to meet you! 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.

Coat of Many Colors is a 10-month-old calico who is dressed to impress and knows exactly what she wants: attention, please! With her beautiful patchwork coat and a personality all her own, this colorful girl is always ready for some love and affection.

Story
Mango is a beautiful 4-year-old purebred Abyssinian who is affectionate, active, and always ready for a little fun! She loves attention, enjoys playtime, and has the lively personality you’d expect from this energetic breed. Abyssinians are known for being high-energy, intelligent, and more interactive than your average house cat. They tend to need plenty of play, enrichment, attention, and opportunities to keep their busy minds and bodies occupied. Mango is looking for a home that understands that she’s not exactly a “nap on the couch all day” kind of cat—and is ready to keep up with her! If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion with a little extra personality and a lot of energy, Mango may be your girl!

Story
Estimated DOB: 04/08/2026 Meet Chili, a beautiful torbie kitten! Hi, I’m a stunning little kitty who is looking for a patient heart. ❤️ When you first see me, my gorgeous patchwork fur will definitely catch your eye. But beneath my beautiful coat, I am a very shy soul who is still learning about the big world. I take my time getting to know new people and need a little extra patience to feel safe. But oh, the reward is so worth it! Once I know you are safe, my sweet side shines through. I will happily curl up right next to you, turning into the most loving cuddle bug for cozy afternoon naps. 🥰 I’ve already made wonderful progress! 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.

Good with cats,
Story
Estimated DOB: 04/08/2026 Hi, I’m a sweet little kitten who has come a long way. ❤️ When I first came to my foster home, I was very scared. I was born to a stray feral mama and didn’t quite understand that people could be kind. I hissed a lot and wasn’t sure I wanted anything to do with my foster mom. But with time, patience, and lots of love, I’ve started to come out of my shell. Now I’ll approach my foster mom for pets, curl up and lay on her, and even give her little kisses. 🥰 I’m also very playful and love having fun once I’m comfortable. Sometimes I even growl while I’m playing—it’s just part of my silly, playful personality! 😸 I’m still learning and growing, but I’ve already made such wonderful progress. It turns out being loved isn’t so scary after all. 🐾💕 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.
