Story
Calliope is a charismatic and affectionate girl who radiates warmth and charm. She is overjoyed to finally have a soft bed to curl up on, where she can stretch out, roll onto her back, and soak up all the love and attention she can get. Her purrs are nonstop, and everything she does—whether it's delicately licking her paws clean or dozing off in the cutest positions—is simply precious. Calliope and several other kitties were rescued from an abandonment case where 31 cats had been left alone for weeks in a house located in a flood zone. Despite everything she has been through, Calliope remains incredibly trusting of people. She wants nothing more than to love and be loved in return. This sweet girl is ready to find a forever home where she can share her endless affection and companionship. If you’re looking for an outgoing cat with an abundance of love to give, Calliope is the perfect match! Calliope's estimated birthday is 2/27/2023. She is spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV combo tested negative, and microchipped.

Story
Lumi is a small but incredibly loving little girl with a heart full of affection. From the moment she arrived, she has been soaking up every bit of love she can, rubbing all over her people with the sweetest purr. Her journey hasn’t been easy, she and several other kitties were rescued from an abandonment case where 31 cats had been left alone for weeks in a house located in a flood zone. When she was first rescued, she was heartbreakingly thin and would growl to protect her food, eating as fast as she could out of pure survival instinct. But now, Lumi is learning that she is safe, loved, and will never go hungry again. Despite her past, Lumi’s spirit shines. She adores both people and other cats, always seeking out affection and companionship. She especially loves rubbing on her feline friends, including Calliope, Clare, and Ada. Lumi is looking for a forever home where she can smother her family with love and finally have the security she deserves. If you’re ready to give this sweet, tiny survivor the love she has been waiting for, Lumi is ready to fill your home with warmth and purrs. Lumi's estimated birthday is 8/27/2024. She is spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV combo tested negative, and microchipped.

Story
Nabie is a bundle of love and playful energy just waiting to brighten someone's life! She has a personality as sparkly as her favorite toys, little glittery balls and toy mice that she loves to bat around joyfully. She’ll keep you entertained for hours with her adorable antics! If you're up late, don't worry, because Nabie will keep you company. She’s a bit of a night owl and finds her zoomies most exciting when the stars come out! This sweet girl absolutely adores head scratches. And be warned—once you start, there’s no going back! If you try to stop, Nabie will gently grab your hand and pull it back, politely demanding more pets. She’s just that irresistible! While she’ll sometimes grace you with lap time, she’s still learning to fully embrace the snuggly side of life, but with patience, her trust will grow, and her heart will belong to you forever! Nabie wasn’t always this spoiled. She was found outside, fending for herself, and she’s learning every day how amazing the indoor life can be. Because of her past, it might take her a little time to warm up to new people, but once she does, she will blossom into the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for. Though she gets along well with other kitties and loves to play with them, Nabie could also thrive as a spoiled single kitty, soaking up all the attention for herself! After starting her life as a stray, she’s learning how wonderful it feels to be pampered, and she’s more than ready for a forever home where she’ll feel safe and loved. Nabie is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and is FIV/FeLV negative. Are you the lucky person who will get to spoil this sweet girl? Whether you’re looking for a feline friend for your other cats or a single kitty to shower with love, Nabie is ready to fill your life with joy and purrs!!

Gemini is a gorgeous gray tabby with a heart full of love and a playful spirit that’s sure to steal your heart. Now that he's grown into a handsome teenager, this sweet boy is still waiting for his forever home. He may have missed out on a few chances, but he's ready to find someone who will appreciate his gentle nature and playful personality! Gemini is a fan of all things fun—whether it’s chasing wand toys, playing with his kitten friends, or exploring cardboard boxes and carriers, he’s always up for an adventure. When he’s done playing, he’ll curl up with you for some much-deserved snuggles, enjoying soft blankets, cozy cat beds, and all the pets you’re willing to give him. Although Gemini had to have some of his teeth removed, it doesn’t affect him at all—he’s thriving and continues to be the sweet, affectionate boy you’ll fall in love with. His soft gray fur and loving personality are just the beginning—he’s ready to be your best friend and loyal companion. Gemini is still waiting for someone who will give him the forever home he deserves. If you’re looking for a playful, loving, and beautiful tabby with a big heart, Gemini might just be the one for you! Gemini is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV combo tested. His birthday is May 25th 2024.

Story
Meet Jack and Jill! This 4.5 month old former stray brother/sister pair are the perfect combo of high energy and mellow personalities! Jill is a mostly white calico girl with very unique markings: she has a double red stripe over her left eye, and a little black “heart” on the inside of her right front wrist. Jill is fearless, energetic, and playful, with an insatiable curiosity about everything. She’s vocal in her demands for attention, never stops purring, and enjoys playing with humans and her dog and cat foster siblings. Jack is a BIG male gray tabby kitten (almost twice the size of his littermate sister), with a calmer, more reserved personality. He’s initially more cautious of new situations and people, but once he trusts you and comes out of his shell, he is playful, and has a sweet and endearing personality. Jack is much more confident around Jill , and follows her lead. For this reason they will need to be adopted as a bonded pair. BOGO adoption fee! Both kittens have been fostered and are good with bigger dogs and cats. (They do enjoy roughhousing with the dogs and playfully chomping their paws and ears and pouncing on tails, so any future dog siblings need to be tolerant of such kitten shenanigans!). Scoop these babies up! 😻😻 $75 adoption fee covers their spay & neuter, vaccines, microchip, deworming, current on Revolution, and dewormed 3’x , FIV/FELV tested-negative. https://www.blackcatanimalrescue.org/adoption-applications

Danny was trapped as a feral a few years ago but could not be returned to the area. Because of that he became one of our sanctuary cats! Over the past few months though, Danny has been expressing wanting attention and petting. We are thrilled! He will roll over on his belly to be pet and is the first one to greet us in the morning. While his potential adopter will still need to move slow and be patient with him, we have high hopes he will make someone a very nice lap cat in the future! Danny is a striking black cat, our favorite. 😉 And is about 3-4 years old. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines,&Microchipped. He lives with other cats and could adjust to calm dogs in the future. Kids over 12 years are best. Danny’s adoption fee is $50! https://www.blackcatanimalrescue.org/adoption-applications
