Story
Oreo is about a 1 year old mama who is devoted to her children. While young, she is mature for her age. She has the best manners with the litter box, loves her time alone, but also loves to snuggle into you. She is also a talker and will tell you if she wants more food😆 Fun fact, she also like to be held like a baby when snuggled. With a chill but loving personality she'd make an amazing addition to any household.

Story
Meet Skimmer, a silly little dragonfly (we mean kitten) who came to us as a bottle baby from our local Milwaukee animal control. Raised by her foster mom from only a few days old, Skimmer has always known what she wanted, and will tell you her thoughts on the subject. Nicknamed "Skimmy," or "Skimmy Gibbler," Skimmer is an opinionated little lady who loves racing around with her foster-mates or playing with her favorite toy (usually a piece of trash she digs out of somewhere). When she's done playing, she plops down in her foster-mom's lap and starts revving her engine (aka purring loudly). Skimmer is a chatty girl who would do best in a home with another kitten (possibly one of her sisters Darner or Dasher - or another foster pal from Ragged Claws). Ragged Claws Rescue policy says that all kittens must go to home with another kitten companion or to a home with another young, playful resident cat (under 5 years old please). Sorry, doggos don't count. Adoption fee is $175 for one kitten, $325 for a pair Approx. DOB 06/12/2026 Adoption fee includes: spay, microchip, starter vaccines, standard treatment for fleas/ticks/worms/mites. Ragged Claws Rescue is a foster-based org, so all meet & greets take place in the foster home. Skimmer is currently being fostered on the Lower East Side of Milwaukee. To meet her go to bit.ly/raggedclawsadoption and fill out an application. Thank you for choosing rescue!

Story
Shelby made her first appearance darting across a Target parking lot, wild and fearless, before taking cover under the hood of a Mustang (hence her name!). After an hour of coaxing, she finally came out for some wet food, and hasn't looked back since. Shelby is a little bundle of contradictions in the best way: brave enough to have survived a parking lot adventure, yet sweet, sensitive and cuddly. She's endlessly curious and playful, happy to entertain herself, and just as happy curled up on your chest, purring nonstop, soaking up every bit of cuddle time she can get. Shelby is ready to bring her big personality and even bigger purrs into a home of her own! She is looking for a home with at least one other playful cat to be her partner in crime. She is currently being fostered in a home with other cats and dogs and does great with everyone. Ragged Claws Rescue policy says that all kittens must go to home with another kitten companion or to a home with another young, playful resident cat (under 5 years old please). Adoption fee is $175 for one kitten, $325 for a pair Approx. DOB 05/11/2026 Adoption fee includes: spay, microchip, starter vaccines, standard treatment for fleas/ticks/worms/mites. **Shelby will be spayed 08/25/26 with a go-home date of 08/29/26** Ragged Claws Rescue is a foster-based org, so all meet & greets take place in the foster home. Shelby is currently being fostered in the Brewer's Hill neighborhood of Milwaukee. To meet her go to bit.ly/raggedclawsadoption and fill out an application. Thank you for choosing rescue!

Story
Honestly, we don't say this a lot but Apostrophe might be one of our favorite foster kittens in a long time. She is extremely loyal, loving, and sweet. As soon as you sit down on the floor she waddles over to you and flops in your lap. She is happiest being loved. She may be just a brown tabby (one of the least adoptable cat colorations) but she makes up for it by being the absolute best. Honestly, we thought about keeping her ourselves, but the more we keep, the more we can't help in the future. We don't know a ton about these kittens' background. They were transferred to our rescue from the local animal control so they could grow up in a home instead of a cage. They are now living with their foster mom on the Lower East Side of Milwaukee. We are only considering applications of this bonded pair together at this time. Apostrophe would do best in a home with one of her siblings (perhaps Asterisk her fellow brown tabby lap-lover?) or to a home with a playful resident kitty companion (under 5 years old please). Ragged Claws Rescue policy states he cannot be a single kitten, sorry doggos don't count! Adoption fee is $175 for one, or $325 for a pair. Approx. DOB 06/12/26 All kittens come spayed/neutered, microchipped, started on vaccines, standard treatment for fleas/ticks/worms/mites.

Story
Meet Dasher, a silly little dragonfly (we mean kitten) who came to us as a bottle baby from our local Milwaukee animal control. Raised by her foster mom from only a few days old, Dasher was always the quiet & sweet one while her sisters battled it out for the bottle. Dasher has grown a little more confident now that she's bigger and has grown into quite the athlete! Dasher lives up to her name, always racing her foster-mates around the room or playing with a toy. When she's done playing she plops down in her foster-mom's lap as soon as she sits down, only to race off again when one of the other kittens rattles a toy. Dasher is a playful girlie who would do best in a home with another kitten (possibly one of her sisters Darner or Skimmer - or another foster pal from Ragged Claws). Ragged Claws Rescue policy says that all kittens must go to home with another kitten companion or to a home with another young, playful resident cat (under 5 years old please). Sorry, doggos don't count. She might take some time getting used to small kiddos, she has been timid and fearful of them thus far. Adoption fee is $175 for one kitten, $325 for a pair Approx. DOB 06/12/2026 Adoption fee includes: spay, microchip, starter vaccines, standard treatment for fleas/ticks/worms/mites.

Story
Meet Clementine, or Clem for short! At around 4 months old, Clem is a sweet, independent little lady who has really started coming out of her shell. One of her favorite places is her window bed, where she can soak up the sunshine and keep an eye on everything happening outside. She can be a little skittish and is always slightly suspicious that you might be following her, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate side comes right out. She happily accepts neck scratches, belly rubs, and little kisses and has never scratched or hissed. Clem currently lives with two dogs and does great sharing her space with them. She usually prefers observing them from above, but she has no problem strutting right past them when she has somewhere to be — especially if treats are involved. As she’s gotten more comfortable, her playful kitten side has really started to show. She loves chasing toys, swatting at anything that catches her attention, and hunting the occasional fly. She’s even starting to find her little voice and has become much more active and curious. Clem has settled beautifully into foster life and is ready to keep growing, playing, and gaining confidence in a forever home of her own.
