Story
🖤🤍 Meet Marion — The Ultimate Tuxedo Lovebug Marion is a stunning black-and-white tuxedo mama with a huge heart and an even bigger capacity for love. Rescued by a Good Samaritan along with her three kittens, she was brought to Melissa’s Second Chances to raise her babies safely. Now that her kittens have found their forever homes, it’s finally Marion’s turn to be the center of someone’s world. Her foster mom says it best: “Absolutely hands down the most lovable cat. She will demand you pet her and love her whether you want to or not — and you will want to.” Marion is affectionate to her core. She thrives on human attention and wants to be involved in everything you do — nudging your hand for more pets, curling up beside you the second you sit down, and making sure you never feel alone. With her soft tuxedo coat and soulful eyes, she has a way of wrapping herself around your heart almost instantly. 💡 Important Note: Marion would do best as the only cat in the household. She wants all the love (and honestly, she deserves it!) and will thrive in a home where she doesn’t have to share her humans. 🖤 If you’re searching for a devoted, people-focused companion who lives for affection and cuddles, Marion is ready to fill your home with purrs and love. She’s all dressed up and waiting to be someone’s one-and-only. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Rosie – The Quiet Queen with a Heart of Gold 🖤 Rosie is a stunning black beauty with a gentle spirit and a soft spot for people who move at her pace. She’s calm, easy to love, and happiest in a peaceful home where she can shine as the graceful queen she is. Once she knows you, Rosie reveals her affectionate side — greeting you with gentle head bumps, rolling for tummy rubs, and curling up beside you for naps or quiet TV time. She’s curious about visitors and enjoys keeping you company while you work, always nearby but never demanding. Rosie’s a tidy girl with perfect litter habits, capable of coexisting with other cats who respect her space but preferring to be your one and only. Her favorite things include sunny windows, soft blankets, and playtime bursts where she’ll chase or even fetch her toys. Rosie has been waiting patiently since April for her forever match — someone who appreciates a cat who gives love thoughtfully and loyally, in her own sweet way. Could that be you? 💫 Independent but loving. Graceful but playful. Rosie is ready to come home. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

She's a sweet cat. She's about 7 months now, I adopted her from the KC pet project. Unfortunately my toddler is way to aggressive with her, she needs to be around older kids who are not to rough with pets. My landlord is also not allowing me to keep her here any longer. She's indoor/outdoor, she's very smart and playful. She loves to lay in bed and loves cuddles. She was born with a cute stubbed tail.

Story
When I got Henry I was work from home and he slept between my monitors or on me. I now work in an office and a 2nd job. Henry needs more cuddles than that. He has to have a fountain water bowl. He will not drink flat water. Henry is indoor only, never outside without his person and harness. Henry presents very shy and timid, but he warms up fast. He lived with a medium size dog for 6 months and did ok. He's never been around children. His birthday is April 2022. I have his medical records, where he has a clean bill of health. He does have a tinder tummy when he eats to fast or gets to playing to much with the water.
