Story
I adopted this cat in late April 2026 from the Mary S. Roberts Shelter. She is about 2 1/2 years old. She has digestive issues, with semi-formed to liquid stools. She is otherwise healthy. She has seen the vet and had an exam, a blood test, and a fecal test. All were negative or within normal limits. In the shelter they fed dry kibble. I moved her on to wet food, but she is still having issues with semi-formed to liquid stools. I don't have the time, patience or money to try to figure out what the problem is. Her personality is wonderful! She loves to be petted, loves to sit in your lap and be near you. She is super sweet and loving.

Story
Meet the "Safe Haven" Litter!Their Story:Dash, the Tabby kitten, is one of seven sweet kittens born in a loving indoor environment after their stray mother was rescued. She was taken in during her third trimester to ensure she and her babies would be entirely safe from wild animals, birds, and other outdoor dangers on the edge of the city. Because a caring foster stepped in out of compassion and a sense of responsibility, these kittens have known nothing but safety, warmth, and dedicated care from day one.About the Kittens:This wonderful litter of seven is currently eight weeks old (born April 5, 2026), fully weaned, and already happily eating kitten food! The litter features a beautiful variety of kittens, including:- Dash, one handsome tabby with tuxedo markings- One sleek, all-black kitten- Five adorable black kittens with tuxedo markings

Story
These kittens come from a beautiful blonde stray cat who I have been feeding for the past year. She gave birth to her kittens in April. The momma has been doing a good job nursing her litter being that she is so young herself:( . I have a lot on my plate with school, new career and granbaby in the house that I won't be able to keep up with the kittens. On top of that I do not have permission from my landlord to keep them on the property. I would love for them to go to a good hime where they will be loved.

Story
Hello Cat Whispers,My name is Lupita. I am a young 6 year old female who has to live indoors. I’m very loving, loves attention, loves to be held and showered with kisses on my little face.I am playful, love toys, love to cuddle with kids and adults. Unfortunately, my grandma's health has declined and she can no longer maintain my daily needs and wants. I will be sad to leave her but know she needs to take care of herself now. If you adopt me, just know I came from a loving home. P.S.If you're interested in an older cat, I also have a sister (Little Girl) on this website. She's quiet, easy going and loves adults and seniors.

Story
The story behind Frankie, my coworker took in a pregnant stray cat and we took in two babies from that litter. Frankie is around 2/3 years old, she’s a very curious creature who flops on the floor asking for pets, she loves feeding time and ideally prefers dry food but eats both. She has no issues drinking water, using the litter box or playing. Other than that, she keeps to herself, welcomes affection and adjusts to new surroundings just fine.

Story
She is six years old her birthday is May 5th 2020. Very loving cat. I have had her since she was a kitten and it’s truly so so hard to rehome her. I have two other male cats and she is very territorial around them especially around food time. She is not given enough attention truthfully. I think she will have a better life in a single cat home. She needs lot of attention and does not like to be left alone for long periods of time. Such a sweet girl with so much personality. I do not have the time to give her the attention she deserves. I truly just want to find her a loving home she can live comfortably in.

Story
This cat was given to us by a lady that moved to Greece two months ago. He does not get along with our cats. I believe he would be a perfect cat for a single person. He is very friendly, which is why we took him. He does need insulin every day for his diabetes.

Story
My family and I LOVE these cats dearly. They are the sweetest, most affectionate cats we've ever met. However, they have a tendency to chew and ingest non-food items, which has been dangerous to their health. Both have had surgery to remove objects from their intestines. Due to having young kids, we can't keep our house tidy enough to make it a safe environment for the cats. They need a home where things can be kept more orderly and free of small objects.Both cats are currently in perfect health with all medical bills paid for.In exchange for the adoption fee you'll receive the cats and all their supplies (food, litter, toys, etc).We really want to see these cats go to a loving home where they're safe.

These cats are in Riverside, California too!

Story
Shirla and her two sons, Shadd and Shaydon, were admitted to Devore Animal Shelter in June of 2018, when shelter staff estimated Shirla to be about three years old. By an unusual bureaucratic twist, the little family was transferred to Riverside Shelter in early July. Although Kitty Devore Rescue pulls exclusively from Devore, we never stopped considering them “ours.” The KD team worked quickly to bring Shirla and her boys safely into our foster care program, where they finally landed exactly where they belonged. While her boys have long since found their forever homes, Shirla is still waiting for her perfect people to come along. Shirla is a spunky, confident, and delightfully feisty girl who knows what she wants and isn’t shy about it. She wants all the toys, all the treats, and all the attention, thank you very much. Though she’s a full-grown adult, she has the playful energy and spark of a much younger cat. Shirla expects to be queen of the household and would thrive as an only kitty, ruling her domain with confidence and charm. She’s fine with dogs, provided they respect her personal space. Above all else, Shirla is a people-cat. She truly loves human companionship and bonds deeply with her person. If you’re looking for a devoted, spirited companion to be your one and only, Shirla has been waiting patiently for you. Visit www.kittydevorerescue.org to fill out an adoption application and give this wonderful girl the forever home she deserves.

Story
We didn't know, and the shelter staff didn't know, but she was expecting when we rescued Rosy in early August 2023! Her foster parents didn't anticipate kittens as part of the fostering deal, but they learned the happy news after a veterinary exam appointment. We were concerned though. Rosy, just one year old then, was so thin and malnourished. We had just enough time to help her fortify her body in anticipation of her bundles of joy. A month after her rescue, Rosy welcomed identical gray quadruplets on September 6th - Ace, Charlie, Bootz, and her single daughter, Jannie. Rosy, just like an actual rose, takes time to bloom. Her foster parents discovered that patience and dedicated love enabled Rosy to blossom into the most loving of companions to humans and other cats alike. After a hard life on the streets, she relishes her leisure time and indoor life, lounging in her bowl scratchers for hours on end. She appreciates chin scratches and is endlessly fascinated with Bird TV. Above all else, she loves her treats and anyone can entice her with Churus or Temptations. Of course, these don't stunt her appetite. Rosy never misses a meal! As soon as she hears the pop of a can or the clattering of delicious pieces of goodness filling her bowl, she beelines to the kitchen faster than you can blink. Despite her rough start, she's landed soft, and her spirit remains resilient and indomitable. As a social girl, Rosy would thrive best in a home with other kitties and humans who strive to earn her trust and love. You'll know you've succeeded when she bestows you with your first love bite. If you're convinced Rosy is the perfect kitty for you, fill out an adoption application to adopt her today at www.kittydevorerescue.org!

Story
Nulo has always been the type of kitten who keeps you laughing all day long. This handsome dilute grey tabby may be quiet, but his personality is HUGE. One of his favorite hobbies is sneak attacking people during playtime: carefully creeping up before dramatically pouncing like the fierce little hunter he believes he is. He's outgoing, playful, curious, and always wants to be involved in whatever is happening around him. But once he is done showing off his silly side, Nulo turns right back into a cuddle bug who loves affection and hanging out with his people. At this point Nulo has really grown into the perfect balance of playful kitten energy and affectionate companion. He's social, lovable, and impossible not to adore. Nulo is fully vetted: fully vaccinated, fixed, microchipped, dewormed and flea treated. If interested in meeting Nulo, please start by completing the adoption application.
