Story
Estimated DOB:06/03/2026 Meet Lucy Lou Lucy Lou found herself hiding under a car and fell as the car was going down the highway. The car behind quickly stopped and rescued her from the ditch as he saw her fall from the car in front of him. He was on his way to work and networked with coworkers who brought Lucy Lou to one of our fosters in the area. Lucy Lou was a lucky girl and had little injuries. She has a small cut on her face and her bottom had road rash. She’s now healed and looking for her forever home. She spends her day snoozing on the couch snuggled with other cats or finds cat toys to play with. Some days she watches the world go by and other days she’s vocal with a strong opinion. She’s a sweet little girl and would love to find her forever home. 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
Estimated DOB:07/01/2026 Meet Herman 🧡 Herman had a pretty rough start to life. He was rescued after being found living at an area landfill, where he had been surviving by finding shelter inside the walls of nearby buildings. When Herman first came into rescue, he was understandably scared and unsure of everything around him. It didn’t take long for him to realize he was finally safe. With patience, love, and a little time, he began trusting his foster mom and letting his sweet personality shine. Now Herman is a playful, curious kitten who loves to stay busy. He enjoys chasing toys, wrestling and playing with his siblings, climbing cat trees, and exploring everything around him. After such a difficult beginning, Herman is ready for the happy part of his story—a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and spoiled like he deserves. 🐾🧡 * You can meet Herman today, at PetSmart's Louise Avenue location in Sioux Falls. Apply to adopt in store or online www.allcatsrescue.org/cat-adoption-application. Please note: Kittens who remain with a littermate or a similarly-aged companion are healthier, happier, and better socialized.

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!
