Story
Meet Robin – The Cashmere Kitten Robin is a stunning black-and-white kitten whose fur is as soft as cashmere and whose heart is just as warm. This handsome boy has a playful, adventurous spirit, and when the fun winds down, he turns into the sweetest little love bug who adores being the center of attention. Robin didn’t have the easiest start—he was terribly sick when first rescued—but with love and care, he’s made a full recovery and is now the picture of health. You’d never guess his rough beginnings, because today he’s full of energy, joy, and love to give. He may grow into a bigger boy, but that just means more of him to love! Robin is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly, always ready to entertain you with his kitten antics and then curl up in your lap for snuggles. Robin is looking for a forever family who will adore him as much as he’ll adore them. Could this sweet, soft, and stunning boy be your new best friend? ##2473202##

Story
“Cats, in their own right, are a form of poetry, a lesson in living elegantly on earth.” This makes us think of Pantsless! Yes, her name is Pantsless! This classy 14 year old lady is thriving in her foster home! At the shelter she can be a bit defensive, but in her foster home she’s all snuggles and love. Basically, she’s living proof that sometimes you just need the right person to bring out your best side. Why adopt a senior cat? Their personalities are fully developed, so there are no surprises: • They’ve outgrown the curtain-climbing, vase-smashing stage. • They’re already litter-box trained, polite, and grateful for a warm lap. • And honestly? They make fantastic roommates. If you would like to meet Pantsless, please reach out and we will put you in touch with her foster. E-mail ccacangels@yahoo.com for more information! Please come visit! We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Story
“Cats are connoisseurs of relaxation.” This reminds us of NooNoo! NooNoo is basically that cranky uncle who complains about the government but secretly has a heart of gold. At the shelter he’ll growl and swat during nail trims like he’s auditioning for a biker gang. But at home? NooNoo an absolute angel. Add in his “smoker’s meow” and the silliest crossed eyes you’ve ever seen, and he’s pure comedy gold. No health issues — just an attitude problem that disappears once he’s comfy. Why adopt a senior cat? Their personalities are fully developed, so there are no surprises: • They’ve outgrown the curtain-climbing, vase-smashing stage. • They’re already litter-box trained, polite, and grateful for a warm lap. • And honestly? They make fantastic roommates. NooNoo is in a foster home, so please reach out if you would like to meet him. E-mail ccacangels@yahoo.com for more information! Please come visit! We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Once upon a time, in a kingdom not so far away (okay fine, it&#194&#146s here at FLUFF HQ), there lived a stunning princess named Briar Rose. With her snow-white coat and dazzling blue eyes, she looks like she stepped right out of a storybook.Briar Rose is just ~1 year old, a purebred Ragamuffin, and yes &#194&#151 she&#194&#146s as fancy as she sounds. At first, she can be a little cautious, as if she&#194&#146s making sure you&#194&#146re not some wicked witch trying to trick her. But give her a moment and the magic unfolds: she rolls over dramatically, flashes that irresistible belly, and demands face rubs like royalty collecting tributes.Once she trusts you, her purr motor kicks in and doesn&#194&#146t stop. She&#194&#146ll reward your loyalty with snuggles, slow blinks, and that heart-melting &#194&#147I choose you&#194&#148 gaze.Briar Rose isn&#194&#146t just beautiful &#194&#151 she&#194&#146s sweet, gentle, and ready to be someone&#194&#146s happily-ever-after. All she needs is a loving home where she can feel safe, adored, and maybe even admired daily (she is princess material, after all).Could you be the one to break the spell and give Briar Rose her forever castle? Send us a message to meet your fairytale ending. Please complete and submit our application at www.FLUFFNashville.org to let us know you are interested.**Helpful Hint: you are welcome to submit inquiries first, however, if you are really interested, we strongly recommend that you go ahead and submit an application because others are, and this kitty may be gone by the time we get your inquiries answered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 30, 2025, 7:39 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Pete, the 3-month-old Ragamuffin kitten who looks like his mom&#194&#146s printer ran out of ink halfway through the job. His silver tabby coat fades from dark to light in perfect ombré fashion&#194&#151he&#194&#146s basically the feline version of a high-end balayage, and he knows it.Pete is equal parts playful and sweet. He doesn&#194&#146t have time for long cuddle sessions (he&#194&#146s got places to climb, toys to conquer, and snacks to eat), but when he takes a breather from kitten business, his soft side peeks through. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly&#194&#151especially if you come bearing his one true weakness: Gerber baby food. Honestly, if Gerber ever needs a spokes-kitten, Pete&#194&#146s their guy.His crooked little tail only adds to his charm&#194&#151it&#194&#146s his permanent punctuation mark, a reminder that life (and kittens) are way more fun when they&#194&#146re not perfectly straight-laced.So if you&#194&#146re looking for a stunning, silly, slightly shy but altogether wonderful kitten who will keep you laughing (and your pantry stocked with baby food), Pete&#194&#146s your boy. Please complete and submit our application at www.FLUFFNashville.org to let us know you are interested.**Helpful Hint: you are welcome to submit inquiries first, however, if you are really interested, we strongly recommend that you go ahead and submit an application because others are, and this kitty may be gone by the time we get your inquiries answered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 30, 2025, 7:39 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Move over Marilyn, step aside Cindy Crawford, and bow politely, Your Majesty&#194&#151because Elizabeth has entered the chat. This 4-month-old black-and-white beauty is rocking a natural beauty mark right on her face, the kind of signature look that launches careers and melts hearts.Elizabeth may take a minute to get her bearings (a queen never rushes, darling), but once she feels safe, she&#194&#146s all about sweetness, purring, and very playful antics. Her foster reports she&#194&#146s equal parts cuddle bug and feather-chaser, with a purr that could headline its own movie.And if you&#194&#146re looking for star quality, please note: Elizabeth does her own stunts. One of her favorite hobbies is hitching rides on her foster&#194&#146s giant tortoise (bonus points if you have one too!). Yes, really. Not every kitten can pull off &#194&#147regal glamour girl&#194&#148 and &#194&#147jungle explorer&#194&#148 in the same photoshoot, but Elizabeth nails it every time.Elizabeth is ready for her forever castle&#194&#151complete with adoring subjects (that&#194&#146s you).
