Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Lewiston, Maine

Chloe is a sweet but very timid kitty who is looking for a calm and quiet home. She needs a patient and loving family who can give her all the time she needs to really settle in to the new environment. She will likely hide for the first few weeks in her new home but we are sure that once she warms up that she'll be very affectionate. Although we don't know much about her previous history we believe that she would do best in a home with older children who can give her space when she needs it. We are unsure of how she would do with other animals.If you are interested in Chloe and think that she would be a wonderful addition to your family please come in and ask about her!

This rare and elusive creature is a Land Shark. This one seems to be a slightly older female. This Land Shark would thrive in a home with catnip toys, cat towers and enrichment to keep her busy and happy. She will need sunny windows to sit in as she requires sun and entertainment to thrive. A home without other animals or children is her preferred habitat. She requires a balanced diet of healthy food and despite being a Land Shark, will need fresh water daily. As a common Land Shark behavior, she loves to roll around and show her family her belly to show her trust and love for you and beg for attention at her convenience. If you are interested in adopting Land Shark, please stop by to see her!

This handsome stud is Oriole and he loves to play! Oriole is a cat who would thrive with lots of enrichment and exercise as he is happiest when he has things to do!

I am 15 years old and searching for a relaxing home to retire to as I have been stressed listening to all the dogs and cats around me in the shelter. I am VERY talkative and know how to project my voice so I can make sure you heard me! I am a spunky, independent cat who knows what I want and am sure to let you know. It can take me some time to really warm up to people and do best with people who are willing to understand how I communicate and let me explore things at my own pace. I LOVE wet food and go crazy for catnip! Unfortunately, my previous owner got me declawed. Like many cats, it really affected my positive attitude and I tend to be a bit on the feisty side because of it. Due to my strong personality I will need to be the only animal in the home. And even though they are cute I won't get along well with kids. A mature home where I can roam free and do my own thing would be ideal. I may have an interesting first impression but I deserve a loving home with the right family. Please meet me if you think you want to take me home!

Chicken Pot Pie, is a darling companion deeply bonded to his feline friend, Mashed Potatoes. Despite his inherent shyness, the presence of Mashed Potatoes brings out a sense of comfort and reassurance in Chicken Pot Pie's world. He tends to be reserved, finding solace in the company of other cats rather than human interactions. Although initially hesitant around people, Chicken Pot Pie may slowly start to feel more at ease after observing other cats in the home positively interacting with humans, although this process will take time and patience.In his quest for a tranquil indoor-only home, Chicken Pot Pie seeks a quiet environment with no children. He may do okay in a home with calm dogs who respect his space. With a patient and understanding family, Chicken Pot Pie, alongside his friend Mashed Potatoes, will thrive and gradually open up, making a heartwarming addition to a loving and quiet household.

COME AND MEET LILO, who is a beautiful, fun, and feisty, almost 6 year old cat with special needs. Sleek and black with big, round, amber eyes, Lilo suffered an unknown trauma as a kitten that required her tail to be amputated. She was left incontinent (unable to urinate on own) but otherwise unfazed. Playful, inquisitive, and super-affectionate, she loves attention from people and, after a proper introduction, is happy to make friends with other cats. She loves to purr, give you head-butts, knead soft things, and receive lots of body rubs. Lilo also loves to be up high on cat tees and shelves, and one of her favorite things is hop down onto your back for a bit of fun and snuggles! It is necessary to express Lilo's bladder at least two times a day, more frequently if possible, and she doesn't seem to mind. Her forever home will need to have the time and patience to clean up occasional urine leaks. Despite these minor leaks, she never smells like urine--being a fastidious groomer, she keeps herself spotlessly clean. While Lilo uses the litter box normally, due to sphincter weakness, she sometimes leaves "presents" outside of it. As long as her diet is consistent, these are very easy to pick up with just a tissue. It would be preferable if her space in her new home did not have carpet. Prospective adopters experienced with the type of specialized care Lilo would be ideal, but we can also do training sessions and provide pro tips for establishing her care routine at home.Lilo is a wonderful little girl that will bring you much joy & happiness!Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As

PK is a cute, 7-year-old, white and black, short-haired cat who was found more than 4 years ago in a feral cat colony and trapped by one of our partner animal rescue organizations here in Maine. She transferred to HART and moved into one of our experienced foster homes so she could decompress and get used to being around people. As it turned out, this took quite a while, because PK proved to be a rather independent and strong-willed kitty who could be rather aggressive when she feels unsure or threatened. Her foster family patiently worked with her to earn her trust and improve her confidence and people-skills. Patience, consistent routine, and smart use of food motivation allowed PK to make great progress, and she has become much more comfortable with humans. She is very accepting of pets, scritches, and the occasional gentle belly rub. She would sometimes even sleep on a pillow next to her foster mom at night. The biggest change in her is that she now purrs! When she is feeling really happy, she will chirp and chatter in such a cute way. PK is also very playful, and she simply loves interactive playtime--you should see how she picks up toys and walks around with them! Of course, PK still does have her limits, but the good news is that she gives clear cues when she's at or near her threshold so you know to back off and can avoid getting swatted. While she was in foster care, we discovered that PK has a renal (kidney) condition that requires 2 medications and regular monitoring. She takes her medications like a champ and eats a prescription dry food and Fancy Feast canned food. For more information about PK’s condition and her specific health needs, please contact our Medical Manager, Bobbi-Jo, directly via email at b.dobbs@hartofme.org. PK recently moved back to our shelter in the hopes of more easily meeting her forever family, and she has been adjusting well--she has already befriended a few volunteers she enjoys spending quality time with. She will need a calm home with a patient, cat-savvy person or couple who will give her time to acclimate to her new environment and continue to work with her on socialization while also allowing her to be herself. PK should not be in a home where children live or visit, and she would probably do best as the only animal in the household. If you would like to meet this wonderful cat, please complete an online adoption application, specifying PK, and a member of our Adoption Team will reach out to you to schedule a time for a meet-and-greet.Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As

Maggie has been on the Shy Angel Program for several years and even though she is still on the shy side she has made tremendous progressand has a much more relaxed attitude when people enter her room. For playtime, Maggie enjoys playing with thelaser pointer. She would do best with an experienced cat owner who is not in need of a cuddle bug cat.

Snickers is a handsome senior Tuxedo cat in our Shy Angels Room 5. He is reserved around people, is great at holding eye contact and enjoys being told what a good boy he is.

Bonded with Maggie and SnickersOleander is a beautiful, senior kitty whose bright white fur, darling face, and polydactyl front paws really make her stand out from the crowd. Oleander came to HART as a very under-socialized feline nearly 8 years ago from another rescue group in Maine. One of the cats in our Shy Angels Program, our patient volunteers have worked hard to gain her trust, but Oleander has proven to be a tough nut to crack, and to this day she would prefer that humans keep their distance. Despite her strict personal-space requirements, Oleander has learned to be comfortable with people working in her room, and, around volunteers she knows well, she will reveal the playful side of her personality. It's so great to watch her enjoy eating a few treats and playing with interactive toys! She gets along with her feline roommates, and she has formed close bonds with Snickers and Maggie who are also long time residents at HART. We would love to see the 3 of them go home together, if you have the space for 3 adult cats. Oleander, Maggie, and Snickers are extremely shy kitties, they are often overlooked by potential adopters, and we know they will need a very particular home environment. However, we also believe their special someone is out there, and we would love for them to be adopted into a loving home of their very own, with patient humans and other non-confrontational feline friends. Oleander has chronic runny eyes, and recent medical work-ups have indicated that she has renal disease.If you are interested in meeting Oleander, please submit an adoption application, and our Adoption Team will schedule a time for you to visit with her and speak with Our Shy Angels Program Coordinator who will also work with you on how the program works and discuss plans on how to continue the program once the kitties go home.Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As
