Tabby kittens & cats in Shawnee, Kansas

My sweet baby, we are looking for a new home for her due to my steps son’s severe allergies. She’s so sweet and will make a great addition to a family. She’s my sweet snuggle muffin, I’m so sad we have to re-home her :(

Stripes is the loveliest male kitten. He is approximately 6 months old. He is incredibly friendly, people-oriented, and great with kids. He’ll happily follow you around, greet you with meows, and is super affectionate. He appears to have been raised outdoors as he is an excellent hunter. He’s very active and playful, climbing trees, chasing bugs, and even catching birds. He could easily adapt to being indoor if needed as long as he has an owner who can provide plenty of play, enrichment, and attention. He has had exposure to dogs and cats and was confident and did well. He was very curious and interested in our cat. He has been fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, vaccinated. FLV/FIV negative. I’m looking for a responsible home that will provide regular veterinary care and give him the love and attention he deserves. I’ll be thoughtful about where he’s placed to make sure it’s a great fit for both him and his new family.

Meet Scrappy 💕 Scrappy is a two-year-old beauty with a heart full of love. This sweet girl adores being petted and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give.

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

Zoomies, sass, and snuggles—Eve’s got it all packed into one gorgeous tabby package! Eve is one beautiful and fun girl—12 pounds of gorgeous brown tabby energy. Likely born around December 2023, she’s a young adult with a big personality. Eve loves to play and will happily keep going long after you’re ready for a nap. She’s a master of zoomies and can turn any room into her personal racetrack. Life is never boring with Eve around! Now, here’s the good news and the “real talk”: Eve has a mischievous streak when it comes to other cats. She’s not aggressive, just a little too good at pushing buttons and testing patience. Because of that, she’d thrive as the only cat in the home. Eve would be happiest with adults or possibly older kids who can appreciate her playful, sassy spirit. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, spirited, one-of-a-kind companion, Eve’s ready to keep you laughing, entertained, and loved. She's in the Kansas City metro, but transport is available. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 to meet Eve!

Medusa is a very sweet, loving and snuggly kitty in need of a home that will be calm and just as loving back. She is almost 3 years old, her birthdate isn’t known exactly but I took her and her sister on September 28, 2023 after my sister found them in a storm. I have since been able to rehome her sister but never found what I felt like was a good fit for Medusa and decided to keep her. Recently the relationship with one of our dogs has changed, out of no where he started targeting her, pinning her down and chases her every time he sees her. She’s living in fear and on eggshells and has to be isolated a lot to keep her safe. Her trust with our other dog who is calm and friendly has not been broken and she loves our children but I hate that she lives in fear and has to be kept separated. She doesn’t get as many snuggles and loving as she used to or that she deserves. It’s not her fault and she deserves better. She needs to be indoors but I’m sure can fit into any family if dogs are calm

🐾 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.
