Story
My name is Lil Tux and I a sweet little boy kitten that was born to a wonderful momma cat that was originally found as a pregnant stray.  We are one of the litter of kittens that made the miracle of being born inside a warm and clean foster home and not outside in the woods or under a shed.  They say that I am the cutest little guy with my handsome black and white color with a handsome set of white feet and a hard to miss white blaze up the center of my face.  I am intensely interested in life and playing and also loving on my humans that come around.  I have been around other cats, dogs and different humans. I am social and fun and ready to have my own family to play with and love.  If you are interested, I am ready to pack my bags.   Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell them where you live and that you want an application to adopt Lil Tux….that truly handsome little dude.July 6, 2024, 10:59 pm

Story
My name is Big lil Greyboy, and I have had an interesting start to life as my momma was lucky enough to be taking in while she was pregnant and we were born inside a foster home. Me and my fun-loving siblings were born safely inside and we have been safe ever since with all the best of care, food, and cuddly time with our foster. I love to play and I love to sleep and I love to explore. I am not shy and I'm very sweet to all the people that want to love on me. If you were interested in adopting, me I am interested in having your application sent back to Critter Cavalry Rescue. Please email them and ask for one at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Tell them where you live, city and state. July 6, 2024, 10:59 pm

Story
Sweet little Hula was found as a single stray. No siblings, no mama anywhere to be found. She was scared to death when she came to us but now her little personality has come around and she's very sweet and affectionate. In the video you will hear us calling her a boy, mistake! She had a little upper respiratory infection when he first got here but we cleared it up and is is now a healthy and happy little kitten. She's a sweet little girl looking for her forever home, could that be you? OUR CATS AND KITTENS MUST NEVER BE DECLAWED OR ALLOWED OUTDOORS! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $300

Story
** I am currently being housed at our Oglethorpe St location. Come meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW, every day between 12pm-7pm. Or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more. Beautiful Shadow is looking for a loving home where she can have a fresh start. She was given up because the owners had too many pets. Shadow is feeling a bit blue right now, but she is a sweet lap cat who will rally once she settles into her new home. Shadow is a 2-year-old medium/long haired tortoiseshell, who is going to make the best companion. She has lived with children and other pets before, so should be a good fit for most homes with a proper introduction period. This sweet girl would love to be brushed a few times a week to help keep her fur looking it's best. Come meet sweet Shadow today!
