Tabby kittens & cats in Toccoa, Georgia

Meet Ellie Poor Ellie was six years old when she was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation and taken to a kill shelter. The volunteers there fell in love with her and asked us if we could take her in and find her a good home. We happily did so. Ellie is seven years old now. She’s always been a little shy and quiet, but super sweet. She loves attention and welcomes pets. With so much going for her, Ellie was fairly quickly adopted. She was doing great in her new home. She had really blossomed. Her mom said she was sweet, friendly, cuddly, easy to hold, she loved attention, and she loved belly rubs. She was a great little kitty. After only three months though, Ellie was returned. Ellie made the mistake of tinkling outside the box a few times. After not finding anything physically wrong with her, Ellie came back. We’re grateful her mom did the right thing, but it hurts our hearts that Ellie was so easily given up on. She didn’t do it on purpose. Ellie was trying to communicate that something wasn’t right. Since coming back, she’s been quiet and shy and a little defeated. Staff and volunteers are working overtime showing her that she’s loved and she’s responding, but she’s grieving for her home. She purrs quietly. She sits in the sun. She loves being petted and will lean into you. Ellie does fine with the other kitties and easily coexists with them. She wants so badly to be brave, but there are just so many changes and noises at the shelter for this gentle soul right now. Ellie has used her litter box perfectly since coming back, so we don’t know what happened. We do know that Ellie’s perfect home is out there still. She’s had a hard life filled with disappointment. We pray for a soft landing in a caring home. Ellie is a gem and deserves a chance. Someone who will commit to her and let her know she matters.

I was a feral that became house cat after I was nursed back to health several times due to several cat/racoon fights (I was living outside and so things like that happen) and was eventually allowed in the house with my new owners and their female kitty. We ALL got along great, I LOVED being warm and SAFE.But I had to be put back outside a couple months later when the landlord found out they had a 2nd kitty.I have never stopped wanting or trying to get back inside my safe home. I am DYING to get into a home. I LOVED being indoors and safe. So until I find a new home, I live on a front deck waiting on the doorstep, hoping to get back in.Baby boy desperately needs a home and loving owner. He is quite a snuggler and most appecciative of being pet.He immediately took to the litter box with zero issues. He purrs really loudly and loves to sit on laps too! I will miss him so much!!! WE ARE WILLING TO DRIVE HIM wherever, for the right home!

This beautiful baby is sassy. She was the runt of the litter and loves snuggling with her adoptive mamma and absolutely loves to play with her sister, Astrid and brothers Flosi and Dyre. She acts like a tomboy and likes to tumble and wrestle with her brothers. She was born around early may and was orphaned at an early age.

Ollie has a very sweet side to him, very affectionate, and even a lap cat at times. He is a volunteer favorite for sure! This handsome fellow was found living outside, and we believe he's about four years old. When he first came to the rescue, he was not very happy. But we've seen a shift in him, and he's doing so much better! Ollie would probably still be most happy being your only pet, so he can be king of his castle. Come meet this cutie, and when he gazes at you with his big green eyes, you'll surely want to take him home.

Meet Cosmo! He is 6 months old. He is the sweetest boy who is the most cuddly kitty I have met. He is such a pretty boy. He gets along with all animals and just enjoys playing with small objects. He will accept alllllll cuddles but also is not clingy and does not require attention and enjoys finding a nook to take naps. He is well loved by the family and we would not be getting rid of him if it was not for a severe allergy in the family.

Julie is a cute brown tabby looking for a forever home. Her owner had to move and could not take her so she is in foster care. She prefers being an indoor outdoor cat and she is indoor now. She so much want to wander in the yard during day and sleep inside at night. She has been a only cat. Can you help Julie find some Sunshine!!!
