Story
Estimated DOB: 09/25/2025 Vivi 🥰 A beautiful torbie girl Meet Vivi, a sweet, gentle soul with a heart of gold. While she’s a little timid and shy at first, once she feels safe, her playful and loving sides truly shine through! Vivi’s favorite pastime? A high-stakes game of chase with her beloved sister, Sylvia. Whether she’s hunting down colorful springs or pouncing on puff balls, she is pure joy in motion. Because they are the ultimate dream team, these sisters would love to be adopted together. ❤️ P.S. she loves helping keep the clean laundry 😆 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. (TB)

Estimated DOB: 09/25/2025 Meet Sylvia 🥰 Meet Sylvia, the beautiful tortoiseshell who proves that the best things come in colorful packages! 🐾 Sylvia is a perfect blend of sweetness and just the right amount of sass. Whether she is showing off her playful side, or settling down for a quick snooze, she keeps everyone on their toes with her endless curiosity. She has the cutest head tilt ❤️ When she isn't busy investigating new corners of the house, you can find her in the middle of a high-energy romp with her favorite partner-in-crime, Vivi. From zoomies to quiet snuggles, Sylvia is a one-of-a-kind companion who brings a little spark to every day. She would love nothing more than to find her forever home with her sister, Vivi.

Toni was rescued when she was about 3 weeks old. She is 5 now. She’s timid and friendly cat. Likes to be outside when it’s nice. Good mouser. We’ve had her spayed and all shots. We’re moving out of the country so want to see her have a happy home.

Story
Lilith is a lovely gray-and-white domestic shorthair with a gentle heart and an easygoing personality. She’s truly a very nice lady — sweet, calm, and happy to share quiet companionship with her favorite people. Lilith has a history of bladder stones, so she’s on a special SD C/D prescription diet to keep her healthy. She does great on it, and it runs about $25–30 per month. Staying consistent with her food is the key to helping her feel her best. She would prefer a home without dogs where she can relax and feel secure. If you’re looking for a kind, low-key companion and are happy to support her special diet, Lilith 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.
