Story
Estimated DOB: 03/29/2026 💕 Meet Rhea! 💕 Rhea’s story began when she was just a few days old. After her mom was no longer able to care for her litter, Rhea came into rescue and was lovingly raised as a bottle baby by her foster family. Now this adorable girl is growing into a confident, curious kitten who is always ready for her next adventure! Rhea loves exploring every corner of her world, chasing toys, and finding new places to investigate. Whether it’s toy springs, crinkle balls, cat wands, or anything she can bat around, she’s always ready for playtime. Rhea is a social butterfly who enjoys the company of other kittens and loves spending time with her human friends, too. She’s the perfect mix of playful, affectionate, and curious. If you’re looking for a sweet kitten who will keep you entertained with her playful antics and melt your heart with her loving personality, Rhea may be the perfect addition to your family! 🐾💖 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.

When he’s not busy burning off energy, Crawford is a sweet and affectionate kitten who enjoys spending time with his people. He also loves the company of other cats and would be thrilled to have a feline friend in his forever home.

Story
French Silk is every bit as luxurious as her name suggests. This beautiful grey and white girl has a coat that's irresistibly soft, and she seems fully aware of just how fabulous she is. You'll often find her perched atop her favorite cat tree, quietly supervising the room and keeping an eye on all the action below. While she enjoys her role as an elegant observer, she's never too busy to accept a good ear scratch from an admirer. Bring out a feather wand, and French Silk can't resist joining in on the fun, showing off her playful side. Equal parts graceful, cozy, and charming, she's ready to add a touch of sweetness to her future home. 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.

Story
Estimated DOB: 03/28/2026 🐾 Meet Ulysses! 🧡 Ulysses is an adorable orange tabby with a big personality packed into a tiny body! This sweet boy is always on the move and loves making every day an adventure. Whether he’s racing through the house showing off his impressive zoomie skills, chasing toys, or climbing to the very top of the cat tree, Ulysses is happiest when he’s having fun. He’s a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other kittens and would love a feline friend to wrestle and play with. When playtime winds down, Ulysses is more than happy to soak up attention from his humans. He loves being part of the action and enjoys all the pets, cuddles, and companionship he can get. Curious, playful, and full of charm, Ulysses is ready to bring laughter, entertainment, and lots of love to his forever family.

Story
Estimated DOB: 03/29/2026 Meet Rupert! 🖤🤍🐾 Rupert’s story began when he was just a few days old. After his mama stopped caring for her babies, Rupert and his siblings came into rescue where they were lovingly raised by a foster family as bottle babies. Thanks to all that extra care and attention, Rupert has grown into a happy, social, and affectionate little guy. This handsome tuxedo boy is the perfect mix of playful and sweet. He loves spending his days wrestling and chasing toys with his sister, Rhea, and the other foster kittens. Cat trees are one of his favorite places to explore, and he can never resist a fun toy spring or a crinkly ball. Rupert is also a big fan of people and enjoys being part of whatever his humans are doing. After a busy day of play, he looks forward to his favorite bedtime tradition—a delicious wet food treat before settling in for the night. Rupert is ready to find a forever family that will give him plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. In return, he’ll bring endless entertainment, affection, and adorable kitten antics to your home. 🐾❤️ Rupert is ready to meet his forever family!

Story
I got Stormy when she was 3 months old from a lady whose cat had kittens. A few months after we got her she snuck out and got pregnant and gave birth to 8 kittens. I was able to rehome a few of them through people I knew but seeing I didn't want to drop them off at the Humane Society I kept the ones I couldn't rehome. Well unfortunately now that her kittens are about 8 months old she doesn't get along with them about 80% of the time. So for the sake of her happiness and the happiness of her kittens I am having to rehome her rather than her 4 kittens that I currently have.
