Kittens and cats in Rhode Island

BREAKING NEWS: HEART OF RI HAS FALLEN UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. Her name is Agatha Harkness. She has no qualifications, no references, and absolutely no intention of following the rules. Named after the fabulously wicked witch from Agatha All Along, our tiny Agatha has apparently decided that the cat room is now her personal kingdom. She's claimed the blankets, appointed herself Supreme Witch, and is demanding that all meals be served immediately. We offered her a food bowl. She requested a cauldron. We offered her a toy mouse. She requested a familiar. We offered her Churu. Suddenly, negotiations became much more productive. Despite her questionable leadership skills, Agatha is an absolutely adorable little kitten with a big personality and plenty of love to give. Her greatest magical achievement? Convincing an entire room of adults that she is in charge. That's our fault but she is VERY convincing! Now this little witch needs a forever home where she can practice her spells, collect her cuddles, and spend the rest of her life being ridiculously spoiled. Stop by to meet her in person Tuesday 2-6pm or Wednesday 3-7pm. Please remember we do not offer same day adoptions. And when you find yourself rearranging your entire life around a tiny cat who contributes absolutely nothing toward the mortgage? It was Agatha all along.

Our team does their best to review applications as quickly as possible. We kindly ask that you do not send duplicate emails asking for updates, as this can slow down the process.We do not do same day adoptions. Submitting an application does not mean you are approved to adopt a specific animal. We are looking for the best match for each animal based on their needs, personality, age, energy level, medical history, and the home environment. Adoption Fees Adoption fees help us continue to provide lifesaving care to animals in need. EGAPL Heart of RI is a nonprofit animal rescue and does not receive state or federal funding. The cost of veterinary care, food, supplies, staffing, transport, medications, and daily shelter operations has increased significantly.While adoption fees do not cover the full cost of caring for each animal, they help offset a portion of the medical care, housing, and support each pet receives before going home. Every adoption also helps make room for the next animal who needs safety, care, and a fresh start. DOGS Puppies under 1 year: $675 Adult dogs 1 year and older: $575 Dog adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine Distemper/parvo vaccines given while in our care, based on the dogs age and vaccine schedule Leptospirosis vaccine started while in our care, when age-appropriate Bordetella vaccineInitial deworming Heartworm testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea and tick prevention or treatment while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a leash and collar with you at the time of adoption, or ask our team what size is best for your new dog. CATS Kittens under 1 year: $425 Adult cats 1 year and older: $325 Cat and kitten adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine FVRCP/distemper vaccines given while in our care, based on the cat or kittens age and vaccine scheduleInitial deworming FeLV/FIV testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea treatment or prevention while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a secure cat carrier with you at the time of adoption. A Note About Puppy and Kitten Vaccines Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines as they grow. We provide as many age appropriate distemper vaccines as possible while they are in our care, but young animals may still need additional boosters after adoption.Your adoption counselor will review your pets vaccine record with you so you know exactly what has been done and what may still be needed with your veterinarian. A Note About Leptospirosis Vaccines for Dogs We start dogs and puppies on the leptospirosis vaccine when age appropriate. Because some dogs are adopted before the booster is due, the full lepto series may not be completed before adoption. Your adoption counselor will review your dog's vaccine record with you and let you know whether a booster is still needed with your veterinarian. After Adoption Veterinary Care We recommend setting up an appointment with your veterinarian shortly after adoption. This helps your new pet establish care, allows your veterinarian to review their medical and vaccine history, and ensures they stay on track for any boosters or follow up care they may need. Flea and tick prevention, as well as heart worm prevention for dogs, are typically prescription products. Your veterinarian can help choose the safest and most appropriate preventatives for your pet based on their age, weight, medical history, and lifestyle. Why Adoption Fees Matter Every animal who comes through our doors receives individualized care. Some arrive healthy and simply need vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and a safe place to land. Others need emergency care, diagnostics, treatment for parasites or infections, dental care, behavior support, special food, foster care, or weeks to months of daily shelter care before they are ready for adoption.Your adoption fee helps support that full circle of care. It helps the pet you are bringing home, and it helps the next animal who needs us. Thank you for choosing adoption and for supporting the lifesaving work of EGAPL Heart of RI.

He is always up for adventure and is filled with silliness, sure to melt your heart one swish of the tail at a time!A super playful and confident kitten, Huck would do well in almost any home environment. He gets along with other pets and is content with his toys, his people, and a pawsome cat condo where he can get in his afternoon recharging naps.If you think you could be Huckleberry's forever person, please fill out an application today 🐾Huckleberry has an appointment in Providence, Rhode Island, for their spay/neuter on November 30. This appointment is included in the cost of adoption, but the adopter is responsible for getting the cat to/from the appointment (8 am drop off, 2 pm pick up).We are unable to reschedule this due to the limited availability of low-cost spay/neuter appointments. If you cannot accommodate a weekday appointment, we ask that you consider adopting a kitty that is already spayed/neutered.___________________________Spay & Neuter Disclosure:To facilitate adoptions and open more foster space, this kitten is being adopted with a spay-neuter adoption agreement. An appointment for services has been scheduled and the adopter will be responsible for transportation and post-surgical care. Appointment information will be provided during the application process and the spay/neuter cost is inclusive of the adoption fee. The adopter is responsible for providing an e-collar and monitoring the incision site for infection. Any post-surgical complications are the responsibility of the adopter and should be treated by the adopter's vet. If you are unable to accommodate a weekday appointment, we kindly ask that you consider another adoptable cat who is already spayed or neutered. ___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Meet Wisp, 13 years old, retired, and accepting applications for a personal assistant.Wisp spent most of her life as a community cat, having litter after litter and figuring out how to survive without anyone looking out for her. When she finally came to us, she had just given birth to two kittens. Sadly, only one survived with the help of bottle feeding. When we got her spayed, it was clear she'd been through more than her fair share of motherhood. This girl has clocked OUT.Now, for perhaps the first time in her life, someone is taking care of Wisp. And she's decided she could get used to this. Her daily schedule consists of sleeping in her favorite spot, eating, and refusing to move. When it's mealtime, you are expected to deliver her food directly underneath her chin. Walking to the bowl? Absolutely not. She will, however, make an exception for Churu because she's not a monster.Wisp takes time to trust people, which is understandable after spending 13 years looking out for herself. But once you're in her inner circle, you get to experience her VERY affectionate side. She LOVES pets, has impressive purr volume, and comes with a complimentary drool feature. Just don't assume you've earned unlimited access. She's a lady with boundaries, and those boundaries are subject to change without notice.She gets along with other cats and could live with feline friends or as a solo cat. Dogs are unknown, and we recommend children 12+.Wisp isn't looking for adventure, excitement, or a particularly active lifestyle. She's looking for a soft place to land, room service, and someone who understands that she's spent 13 years doing things the hard way. She's ready for the easy life, and frankly, we're ready to help her get it.___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!
