Story
These three adorable kittens were rescued in May 2025 from behind a mechanic's shop in Canton, with no mama in sight. Since then, they've been lovingly fostered indoors for the past six weeks, where they've blossomed into playful, affectionate little companions. ✅ Wormed ✅ Litter box trained ✅ Indoor raised and ready for cuddles! They’re a bonded trio who’ve been through a lot together, so their foster would love to see them go to the same home—or at least adopted on the same day so they don’t have to be apart for long. Whether they’re chasing toys or curling up for a nap, these sweethearts are ready to bring joy and purrs to their forever family. Could that be you?

Needs special attention,
Story
Wobbles, has a slight wobble when he walks due to a mild neurological condition. The vet says it’s not contagious, not life-threatening, and may even improve as he grows. It doesn’t slow him down one bit—he’s just as curious and cuddly as his siblings! These three adorable kittens were rescued in May 2025 from behind a mechanic's shop in Canton, with no mama in sight.

Story
Luna is 1 1/2 years old. She is very playful and loves attention. She gets along with other cats just fine. As far as dogs it takes her a bit to warm up to them but then she’ll be just fine. She is very much so a lap cat. She loves to cuddle up next you.

Story
Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.POSTED ON 3/17/26, and the pictures were taken on 12/28/25.  Joy was brought to a home in Poynor, TX to an older woman that we are helping.  Joy was spayed on 12/8/24, estimated to have been born around July 2024.  She was vaccinated, and was given dewormer medicine, and flea prevention.  She has been kept inside the home.  The older woman has a few other cats inside with her, so she needs to find a home for Joy. Declawing of any kittens or cats, is cruel, can traumatize the pet, and make the pet defenseless if the pet should get outside.  We encourage people to search for kittens and cats that are already declawed that need to find a new home. $65 adoption fee.March 17, 2026, 4:34 pm

Story
Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Posted 9/10/16, and pictures updated on 11/14/18 and 6/22/21.  Ivana and her siblings, as well as their mother Viola, were at an elderly woman's home in the Bullard, TX area, and needing to be relocated due to allergies and moving.  Ivana and her siblings were caught first on 8/1/16, and had been use to the elderly woman, so they were tame with her.  Ivana is very unique in that she also has some Peach coloring stripes under her front legs, and her stomach along with some Gray spots.  Ivana is still a little skittish of new people, but with one on one attention, she would probably be a good inside cat, but could be outside as well. D.O.B.:     ? May 5, 2016Weight:      Our adoption contracts prohibit declawing of any kittens or cats, it is cruel, can traumatize the pet, and make the pet defenseless if the pet should get outside.  We encourage people to search for kittens and cats already declawed that need to find a new home. $70 adoption fee will pay for her spay and vaccinations.March 17, 2026, 3:04 pm
