Story
All of these kittens are from a stray cat that I’ve been hosting so they wouldn’t become strays themselves. The one in yellow is the one I’m looking to rehome. I simply have too many adult cats in my home. He is a sweetheart and needs a loving furever home

Story
Meet RANGO! Like many of his orange cat brethren, Rango was born without permanent access to brain cells but he doesn't let this keep him down. Although he has the mental capacity of a sack of potatoes, it has never stopped him from living his dream: being held while he stares awkwardly off into space. In fact, despite 4 fully functional legs, Rango will immediately melt into a purr puddle the moment he is held (although this can be tricky as he often forgets who and where he is when he is on his own four paws). This is not an exaggeration, he truly will not move for hours but will purr non-stop while being cuddled by a human. In the 3 months Rango has been in foster, he has bonded tremendously with his littermate Walker (Texas Ranger) and foster brother Meep. Sadly he is not entirely fond of dogs but that is most likely due to the size differential of his horse-sized dog family. While he may not have much for brains, no one can deny his model-esque features. Those eyes 👀 his burnt umber fur 🎃 the perfectly tailored tabby stripes 🐅 Don't wait to swoop him up and make him part of your family...this potato won't wait forever

Story
Tulip was adopted at 4 months old and she just turned 2 in september. She was originally from a hoarding situation and was returned to the shelter multiple times due to not being a social kitten. Tulip loves being around other cats and loves to play with them when the zoomies come around. She is litter box trained and mostly keeps to herself. She doesnt like humans too much. She wont actively deal out attention or charge unprovoked, but she isn’t a lovey cat. It absolutely breaks my heart to have to rehome her, but my fiance and his son are very allergic to her. My fear is her being put down in a shelter due to her behaviors and interactions with humans. She needs a patient and experienced pet owner that is patient and willing to take a chance on her. Like every cat, she loves treats, her cat tree naps, and snuggling up on a fuzzy blanket on the couch. If you trust her, she will trust you.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.SMUDGE is a young, sweet soul who adores a good play session. His gentle nature makes him a perfect companion for quiet evenings, while his mellow demeanor ensures a peaceful coexistence. Smudge, though playful, needs a bit of time to adjust to new environments. His tender heart requires patience, understanding and love. Slow blinks help him relax and he enjoys neck and ear rubs.  Once he's comfortable, he will reward you with endless purrs and playful pounces.  Smudge really loves BELLY RUBS and will happily roll over for you to pet him.  Smudge is a sweet boy who does well with other cats, once properly introduced.  You can see him at the Kissimmee PetSmart.  He loves all the kittens there and will curl up with any of them.  They walk all over him and he just lays there contently.  TEXT Anita to adopt:  407-460-2305.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 10, 2025, 6:45 pm
