American Shorthair kittens & cats in West Des Moines, Iowa

Mochi has been a very beloved pet for many years. We have had her since she was young but over the years our home has not become the best place for her. She is very happy being the only cat after her "mother" cat passed away about a year ago. We have two other boy cats which she no longer tolerates and has to be seperated from. Our home also has 2 dogs which she adores to groom and lay about with. Our family is expecting our second child in the next few months and we have made the heartbreaking decision to rehome Mochi to ensure she gets the attention she deserves as she is locked away most of the time. She makes for the perfect office companion or couch cuddlers as she likes to always be close by. Mochi enjoys being brushed and playing with wand toys but nothing is better than a breadtie in an open room. She does stress easily when leaving the house so trips should remain limited to the vet and back. *Mochi does not have claws so she must stay inside for her own safety.*

Hopscotch 🧡🐾 Orange Tabby Boy Hopscotch is a curious little orange tabby who marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s very much an independent toddler type — happy to explore, play, and observe the world on his own terms — but every day he’s showing more of his sweet personality as he comes out of his shell. Hopscotch enjoys playing with his foster siblings and would truly thrive in a home with another friendly kitty to show him the ropes and keep him company. While he’s not a fan of being picked up, he’s learning to trust and will come to you when he’s ready for pets, making those moments extra special. When he’s not batting toys around or tucked away in his favorite kitty house, you can find Hopscotch eagerly awaiting the best parts of the day: breakfast, snack, and dinner (food is very serious business for this guy 😄). Hopscotch is perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with independence, a gentle heart, and a playful spirit — and who understands that the best relationships grow with patience and time. If you’re looking to add a thoughtful, playful companion to a cat-friendly home, Hopscotch may be the perfect fit. 🧡

But just like his namesake, Bubby is also wonderfully soft and sweet. When playtime winds down, he’s happy to settle in for cuddles, soaking up affection and purring contentedly. He’s a friendly, easygoing boy who enjoys companionship and thrives on love. Bubby gets along great with other cats and takes new things in stride, making him a wonderful fit for a home with existing pets. He’s the perfect mix of fun and affection — a kitten who will keep you laughing during the day and cozy at night. If your home could use a little extra joy and a whole lot of sweetness, Hubba Bubba is ready to stick around forever. 💕🐾

Ever wondered why orange cats are without several brain cells? Well we have the answer! It’s because O Brother Where Art Thou stole every last one of them! Too smart to be tricked by treats with a heart set on exploration, Brother Where Art Thou is constantly trying to figure out the world around him through play. At 11 months old, he’s a jealous little man who will become very vocal if you give more attention to someone other than him. But that doesn’t mean he wants to be alone. He enjoys both other cats and finds dogs to be lovely playmates. When it’s time for a nap, you can scoop him up for some amazing snuggles. He might make a sound similar to a squeaky toy being squeezed, but worry not! He is perfectly fine. He’s just smart enough to be dramatic. He also tends to be quite skittish— but don’t be deceived, he’s not shy. He’s clever and clearly planning something mischievous.

🎄 Meet Red Rider – A Little Christmas Miracle 🎄 On a cold day that felt straight out of a winter tale, a tiny orange-and-white kitten was heard crying for help from a pond. Cold, scared, and alone, this brave little soul refused to give up. And just in time, a kindhearted passerby heard his cries and knew she couldn’t leave him behind. She scooped him up, changing his story forever. That little kitten became Red Rider. When Red Rider arrived at rescue, he was a very sick boy — malnourished and loaded with parasites — but like any true Christmas miracle, love and care worked wonders. Thanks to a devoted foster and round-the-clock attention, Red Rider blossomed into the healthy, happy kitten he was always meant to be. Today, Red Rider is nothing short of magical. He’s sweet, affectionate, and full of joy. He loves to play, purrs like a tiny engine, and happily soaks up all the attention he can get. This courageous little guy has shown us just how much love can live in such a small package. Red Rider is now ready to find his forever family — the ones who will be his happily-ever-after. He still needs a few more vaccines and to be neutered, but don’t worry — that’s all covered by the rescue. We may never know how Red Rider ended up alone in a pond, but we do know this: he’s amazing, resilient, and has a very bright future ahead. This Christmas season, he’s wishing for one special gift — a home to call his own. Could that be with you? 🎁❤️
