Story
Silas is a character and I love him dearly, but despite all efforts he is too rambunctious for my resident cat. He likes to lay on top of the pillow by your head and will purr to no end. Very food motivated and clingy. Extremely playful. He would probably get along great with an another boy his age, but not my 5 year old girl. Perhaps best as only cat. He is 8 months old and a big guy already. It breaks my heart to do this, but I am hoping I can find someone who loves him as much as I do.

Story
Miso is a sweet affectionate cuddly girl. She is one year old and loves to play but she also loves to snuggle. Her favorite spot to perch is a shoulder and will happily sit there as long as you’ll let her. We’ve been lucky to be able to love on her for the last year. Unfortunately we didn’t know that we had allergies to her and after much pain, we decided she needs a new home. For the past few months Miso has been locked away in a room to keep mitigate allergies but she is lonely and becoming stressed. As much as we love her, she needs a new home.

Story
Meet Poppy – A Sweetheart Looking for Her FURever Home (indoor cat) Poppy has had a tough start in life, but she’s ready for a fresh chapter with someone who has a big heart and lots of patience. She's spayed and fully vaccinated, and she’s litterbox trained. Poppy comes with her own toys, cozy blankets, and even a cat tree she absolutely loves! She’s a gentle soul who enjoys purring, playing with her toys, and getting back scratches (she’ll roll over and purr for those!). Poppy is currently on affordable kitty Prozac and prescription food to help her feel calm due to being beaten up by the neighbor's other cat. She’s been through a lot—three homes in a short time. My neighbor dumped her, and my co-worker adopted her, but then left the marital home and the cat, and needs someone compassionate who can help her rebuild trust. If you’re looking for a loving companion and are willing to give her the time and care she deserves, Poppy will reward you with endless love and gratitude.

Story
Lavender is a 15-year-old sweetheart with a huge heart and a nonstop purr. She is deeply affectionate and bonds strongly with her person. When she loves you, she curls into a little ball, presses her head into you, purrs loudly, and softly meows. When she is truly happy, she even drools a little. Most people who meet her fall in love instantly. Lavender loves being held and snuggled and especially enjoys pets on her cheeks, forehead, and behind her ears. She is gentle, has never bitten anyone, and shows no aggression. She can be fearful of loud noises or people standing over her, but when you move slowly and get on her level, she becomes incredibly loving. She is an indoor-only, spayed senior with early kidney disease and does well on Royal Canin Renal Support dry food. Lavender has long-term litter box challenges related to stress and environment and does best in a calm home willing to adapt for her needs.

Meet Kiwi! Kiwi is a sweet, 3-month-old all-black kitten with a gentle heart and a shy, loving personality. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she trusts you, she’s full of affection and cuddles. Kiwi would thrive in a cozy, calm home where she can feel safe and loved. She gets along with other animals and would enjoy having a furry friend by her side, but she’d also be happy as the center of attention in a quiet home. If you’re looking for a tender-hearted little companion, Kiwi is ready to fill your days with love. 🖤🐾 Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6917a878ad5081890e0be2cc Questions?

Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference.

We ask that you give them time (can take weeks to months) to decompress in their new home, do slow introductions to other pets and let their true personalities have a chance to come through. We celebrated our 7 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 16,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.

Story
Meet Larry, the sweetest little shadow you’ll ever meet! This adorable black kitten is equal parts snuggly sweetheart and spunky adventurer. Larry loves to zoom around the house chasing toys, and one of his cutest quirks is proudly carrying his favorite toys around in his mouth like the tiny champion he is. But when Larry decides it's time for attention? He will let you know. This boy has a lot to say, and he’s not shy about using his adorable meows to ask for pets, cuddles, or simply your company. Once he has your focus, he’s quick to curl up in your lap or arms, melting into affection like a true cuddle expert. He’s a treat enthusiast, too — offer him a snack and he’ll become your devoted little buddy in seconds. Currently thriving in his foster home with other cats, Larry gets along beautifully with his feline roommates and would love a kitty friend in his forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, lively, and delightfully chatty companion who fills your days with joy and conversation, Larry is your guy!
