Story
Marble was brought in with his feral mom when he was 8 weeks old, and is around 9 months old as of now. He loves to play and screams for wet food. He is skittish of new people and takes a long time to warm up to new people. He is not the most affectionate, but I believe as he grows up he will warm up.

Story
Super Sweet Iris is around 8 months old. Very sweet, playful, and cuddly.She is spayed and up to date on shots. She and her sister have been skipped over. The others in the litter were chosen months ago, and somehow they were left behind. Please message if interested. We are looking for a loving and safe, and fulfilling home for her. We can't currently afford to spay and neuter all the kittens as of now so her fee will go to future TNR projects. Background Info: This kitten was found outside among the strays in the area. We are working on TNR, the local strays.

Story
 Thank you for taking the time to learn about this sweet little gal who absolutely adores belly rubs! Penelope is a 4-year-old darling of a cat who's looking for her forever home. She’s a total lap lover—as you can see from the videos—and enjoys being around people. She enjoys hanging out in cat trees and takes great pride in her grooming—she just might be the cleanest Kitty on the Block! Penelope has been diagnosed with Feline Herpesvirus (FHV), which means she may have some occasional eye discharge throughout her life. While FHV is contagious to other cats, it doesn't affect humans or other types of pets, so we’re seeking a home where Penelope can be the only feline or other cats that have been exposed. Despite her diagnosis, she can live a long, happy, and healthy life with just a little extra TLC. Could that special home be yours? Her adoption fee is $135 and includes all her vetting, spay, microchip, and—of course—endless love from the Kit Kat Club's very own Penelope. If you're interested in adopting her, please fill out an application at pawsandprayers.org.October 15, 2025, 9:29 pm

Story
Lana del Gray waltzed into our lives on a warm summer night in the Gabe’s parking lot. She had spent a few weeks around the store and employees were feeding her. It appeared she had been dumped there by someone who could not, or did not want to take care of her anymore. She had fleas and ticks, and thankfully nothing more serious! Lana is about 3 years old, but we can’t be sure exactly! She has been fixed, and her shots are up to date. Lana enjoys cuddling and making biscuits on soft crochet blankets. In her spare time between naps, she enjoys watching birds, chasing a laser pointer, and wrestling with her friends. She gets along well with other cats, so long as she is the dominant cat! We have another dominant female in our house and Lana does not appreciate that, but she loves our non-dominant cat. She will do well in a family where she can be the top-cat or the only cat.

Story
Looking to rehome this beautiful, sweet girl. She's very affectionate and loves humans, but is very possessive when it comes to sharing attention with other cats. I believe she'll do very well in a solitary cat home. She'll greet you like a doggo when you get home, growl at passersby out the window, and settle on your lap as soon as you sit down. She's spayed and recently had a vet visit, healthy albeit slightly chunky. Her original name was Chloe, but was renamed Bowie and will respond to either. Please consider giving her a lovely home🖤🤍

Story
Mama cat arrived at our back door last March, pregnant, and had 4 beautiful kittens. We adopted all but one out, Elvis, who is also available and they are bonded. We have been taking care of them, but we cannot bring them inside. We are moving at the end of the school year and would love for them to find a home where they can come in from the cold. Mama is always looking for company, she loves it when someone sits outside with her and talks to her. She is great at climbing trees, and they both like hunting the mice in the woods. They are both very sweet and would make a family very happy.
