Story
My name is Andy and I have a story to tell. A good Samaritan found me after I had been hit by a car and took me to the vet. I am all good now except some baby teeth(that will come out on their own) and I found a wonderful foster family to take care of me. I really love humans because they saved me! I am a very sweet loveable guy that loves to lay on your lap amd cuddle with you. I also love playing with my foster siblings so I would need a other cat in the home. Will you be my forever family? I come fixed, up to date on kitten shots and microchipped. Questions? Call Cathleen 913-596-8467

Story
🧡🖤 Meet Russell & Sapa – A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home! 🖤🧡 Russell (Orange Tabby) is your classic lovebug! This sweet, silly boy was trapped from a colony but was far too affectionate to return. Russell is an attention-seeking cuddle monster who will hunt you down for belly rubs and playtime! He absolutely adores other cats and thrives on feline companionship. Sapa (Black Kitten) is a gentle soul with a goofy side once he warms up! This shy sweetheart will need a patient adopter who understands he may admire you from afar at first. But give him time and love, and he'll blossom into the loving companion he's meant to be. 💕 Why Adopt Them Together? Russell and Sapa came to us from different colonies but formed a beautiful bond. Russell taught Sapa that humans can be trusted, and now Sapa looks to Russell for comfort and confidence. They're a package deal of love who will bring double the joy to your home! ✅ Love other cats and do best with feline friends ✅ Okay with dogs but prefer their space ✅ Adopt BOTH for just $250!

Story
Squish was adopted as a kitten. He can be sweet and cuddly with me but is aggressive with other cats and dogs. He also gets annoyed by young people. He also needs to be on a special diet for urinary tract infections to cut down on escalating problems. He would be more suited for a home with one person with no other pets or young children.

Story
Meet Greyson Greyson is a handsome gray gentleman with a calm demeanor and a sweet soul that's just waiting to blossom. He can be a little reserved when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, but once he settles in, Greyson enjoys the quiet comforts of home and the company of those he trusts. After being rescued from an uncertain beginning several years ago, Greyson has enjoyed the safety of indoor life and the companionship of his closest friend, Vinny. The two boys have formed a special bond over the years and find comfort and confidence in each other's presence. Because of that close friendship, Greyson and Vinny are looking for a forever home together. They complement each other beautifully and would love nothing more than a peaceful home where they can continue sharing naps, windowsills, and sunny afternoons. If you're looking for two gentle companions who will reward your patience with quiet affection and lifelong friendship, Greyson and Vinny are ready to become part of your family. 🐾 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
