Purrrfect Companions
Give one of these kitties a second chance
for a lifetime of love with you.
Violet and her daughter Scooter were rescued
from the streets. Violet was a house cat, but it
has been a while. She loves to be petted and
will start purring and making biscuits. Violet
likes to play with ribbons, but seems to prefer
being a couch cat. She is shy and cautious and
will need your patience as she adjusts to her
new family. Violet prefers not to be picked up
and carried, but loves to sit with you. She is
currently with Scooter, but they can be adopted
separately. Given a chance, Violet is ready to
sit and purr for you.
Scooter was rescued from the streets with
her mom Violet. She is a bit shy, yet loves to
play. She plays with her toys by herself, but
loves when someone interacts with her with
ribbons or a laser light. Scooter is very curious
and comes running over to get petted. With her
amazingly soft fur, Scooter’s soft and sleek
coat feels like mink. Scooter can be adopted
separately or along with her mom. She is also
curious about other cats.
favorite toy is a pink fuzzy ball that she bats
around. Please consider adopting Mandy and
her sister Venus together. They’ll be a great
addition to your family!
Jangle is a sweet little guy. He loves to
play and explore and is brave and outgoing.
Jangle was the sole survivor of his litter, so
he was badly in need of a friend. He found
his best friend in Chad -- another orange and
white boy. Chad is a few months older than
Jangle and was also the sole survivor of his
litter. These two have clung to each other and
bonded, so they must be adopted together.
This adorable pair is friendly with children,
other cats and friendly dogs. So if you love
“Orange Creamsicles,” these sweet guys may
be your purr-fect match.
Chad is sweet and loving soul. He was the
sole survivor of his litter when he was saved from
predators by a Good Samaritan who brought him
to Kitten Rescue. Chad was a lonely boy until he
found Jangle. They quickly formed a brotherly
bond. Even though Chad is slightly older,
he relies on Jangle for bravery. Make them a part
Cashmere is a handsome boy with the
playfulness and energy of a kitten. He is looking
for a forever home that will shower him with
love, attention and affection. Mealtimes are
his favorite time of day and he loves treats!
Cashmere also loves to play with cat toys –
batting toy mice or balls in the air and zooming
across the floor to catch them. He also likes to
nap in the cat tree beside the window, basking in
the sun or sprawled across the couch. Cashmere
has never been around other cats, so he would
do best in a single-cat household. However, he
did grow up around a dog and may be okay
with another cat-friendly canine.
Venus is a friendly, sweet and spunky calico
kitten with beautiful gold-colored eyes. She
was hand-raised with her sister Mandy. Venus
loves her sister and also gets along well with
other cats. This curious girl loves to sit in
the kitchen and watch as you are cooking or
puttering around. Venus doesn’t love to eat as
much as her sister and it shows in her slim
figure. She does love to play her feather toy on
a string and will do amazing back flips while
she tries to catch it. When you’re tucked in for
bed, Venus usually migrates to the foot of your
bed for a long cat nap. She and Mandy love
to groom each other. It would be wonderful
for them to be adopted together, as they get
along beautifully and are such great friends.
Mandy is a sweet calico kitten with goldcolored
eyes. She’s completely comfortable
around people and is gentle and fun. Mandy has
an easygoing personality and a very cute meow,
which she uses to manipulate you into giving
her treats. She loves to play rambunctiously
with her sister and they will chase each other
as they race up and down the stairs. Her
