Tabby kittens & cats in Shawnee, Kansas

Stella is a sweet cat but she's very cautious. We adopted her as a kitten from PetsMart. She loves to be pet but does not like to be picked up. She doesn't really like other cats a whole lot but will tolerate them. She would do best as a single cat in your home. She's also not the biggest fan of small children. She doesn't mind older kids. She is a brown/mixed color tabby and she's 7 years old. Her birthday is 7/11/2019. Our jobs have changed and our children are older and not home as much and she needs more attention than we can give her. She will be scared at first! But she warms up to people. You will have to give her time and be patient. We love her and want her to go to a good home where she will be loved like she deserves.

Cha’Carri is a sweet 11-month-old girl with a fun, lovable personality and a mild temperament. She is young, affectionate, and enjoys companionship and attention. Cha’Carri is especially bonded with her friend Cha’Bella, so ideally, I would love to find a home where they could stay together if possible. I am looking for a loving, stable home where Cha’Carri will be cared for, given plenty of affection, and allowed to continue growing into her personality. She is a special girl and deserves a home that will love her, care for her, and appreciate the bond she shares with Cha’Bella.

She’ll let you scoop her up briefly—and she’ll always come back for more pets and cuddles. Scrappy can coexist with other cats, and she doesn’t mind dogs. She’s happiest when she has her humans’ attention and would love a home where she can shine as the lovable companion she’s meant to be. Spayed and ready for her forever home, Scrappy is waiting for the right person or family to see her for the treasure she truly is. 📍 Kansas City metro (transport available) 📞 Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 #AdoptDontShop #RescueCat #ScrappyCat #SweetCat #PetMePlease #AdoptScrappy #CatsofInstagram #thepetconnection #thepetconnectionks #melodyhuff

Handsome Cricket is a gray and black tabby with a story that reminds us just how resilient—and loving—cats can be. About six years old, Cricket showed up skinny and hungry on someone’s porch, hoping for kindness. He found it, but when he didn’t gain weight despite eating well, his new friends grew concerned. Luckily, Cricket sought help from exactly the right people: his caretaker's mom and dad, who happen to run The Pet Connection in Beloit, Kansas! A veterinary exam revealed that Cricket has an autoimmune condition called stomatitis, which causes inflammation in his mouth and gums. Some of his teeth have already been pulled, and he may need more dental care in the future. Because his mouth can be sore, he’s sometimes a little picky about food—but he’s feeling so much better now that he’s getting the care he needs. What stands out most about Cricket isn’t his condition—it’s his heart. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves everyone he meets. He’ll tuck his head into your neck for snuggles, melting completely into your arms. Cricket adores being with people, soaking up attention. He even enjoys the company of other animals. **The Pet Connection will help with the costs of Cricket’s ongoing care for his stomatitis, so his adopter can focus on what matters most—loving him. Cricket is ready for his forever home, where his sweetness will be cherished, and he’ll always know he’s safe, loved, and home for good. He's in the Kansas City metro (transport available) Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 Did you know? Feline stomatitis is a fairly common autoimmune condition that can usually be managed with dental care and stress-free living. Many cats—even those missing most or all of their teeth—go on to live long, happy, pain-free lives. #thepetconnection #thepetconnectionks #melodyhuff #adoptacat #tabbycat #rescuecat #catlovers #catrescue #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #catsoftiktok #catsrule #petfinder #adoptabled #catsofinstagram #catsoffacebook #beloitkansas #specialcat #catadoption

Mika is a very sweet girl with a big personality! Her favorite thing to do is flop onto your feet when she wants attention. She likes to follow her person around the house like a little puppy dog, rubbing against their legs. And she is quite a chatterbox! She loves to hang out on the bed and by the window to watch birds. Mika can be a little mischievous, too. If she doesn't get attention when she wants it, she's been known to attack your foot before she scampers away. Because she doesn't like to share, she'd prefer to be your only four-legged companion. Think Mika might be your girl? Call/text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info! She's in the Kansas City metro.

🐾 Meet Mirabel — The Independent Redhead Queen 🧡🤍 Mirabel is a stunning orange-and-white beauty with a bold personality and plenty of charm. True to her fiery redhead look, she’s confident, expressive, and knows exactly what she likes — and what she doesn’t. Mirabel is the kind of cat who likes to come and go on her own terms. She enjoys being near her person and will happily curl up beside you at night or keep you company while you relax, but she’s also very clear about her boundaries. Think of her as a companion who prefers quality time over constant hands-on affection. ✨ Her Personality Mirabel is affectionate in her own way. She often chooses to sleep next to her person and enjoys being close, but she’s not a cat who wants lots of full-body petting. Chin scratches are her favorite, and she’ll happily accept attention — until she’s had enough. When she gets overstimulated, she’ll let you know it’s time to give her a little space. She also has a playful side and enjoys batting around toys or exploring the house. And like many orange cats, she’s fascinated by running water and loves sipping from the sink faucet. 🎀 Independent & Full of Sass Mirabel has a fun, sassy personality that makes her entertaining to live with. She likes to explore the house, check in on what you’re doing, and then settle in nearby when she’s ready to relax. 🐈 Her Social Preferences Mirabel previously lived as an only pet, but in foster care she has shown that she can coexist with other cats when introductions are done slowly. She tends to keep her distance and prefers not to interact much with them, so she would do best either: • As the only cat, or • In a home with another calm, respectful cat and a patient introduction process 🐶 Dogs are still a no for Mirabel — she’s made that very clear. 👨‍👩‍👧 Kids & Home Environment Mirabel would likely do best in a home with older children or adults who understand feline boundaries. Because she can become overstimulated with too much petting, a home without very young children would help ensure everyone feels comfortable and respected. 💛 Her Ideal Home Mirabel would thrive with an adopter who: • Appreciates independent, personality-filled cats • Understands feline body language and overstimulation • Enjoys a companion who will hang out nearby rather than be constantly handled • Is happy letting their cat set the pace for affection Mirabel isn’t your typical “pick me up and cuddle me all day” cat — she’s more of a roommate with opinions, charm, and just the right amount of sass. But if you’re looking for a beautiful, entertaining, and loyal companion who will share your space (and your bed at night), Mirabel might be exactly the cat you’ve been looking for. She’s ready for her second chance — and a home that appreciates her exactly as she is. 👑🐾 🆕 Mirabel is also eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt. An approved application is required before we can schedule a meet & greet. Once approved, we’ll work with you to ensure it’s a great fit—and if it’s not, no worries!
