Story
I enjoy living life outdoors. I'm what's known as a barn/community cat. I happen to be apart of the feline population that deserves a pat on the back because I play a unique role in straddling the line between pet and worker! All you have to do is provide me with adequate shelter, food, water, and in return, I'll provide you with free pest control. It's that simple! So, if you're looking to give a lovely outdoor kitty a home, Come on down to the Portsmouth Humane Society today! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 2yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
Meet kitty Armondo!!!  He and his litter mates did not have the best start in life.  Their mom was a member of a feral cat colony that lived in a ravine.  People were very concerned about the little family and were finally able to trap them all.  Mom was feral.  The babies were scared but nice.  It just took a little while for them to understand that people are nice and are trying to help them.  Mom was spayed and released and the babies went to a loving foster home.  They have now all been totally vetted and are ready for their forever homes.  Armondo is a sweet but shy 12 week old kitten.  He loves to play with his siblings Leo and Amschel.  They have the biggest time running and playing.  Armondo is a polydactyl/Hemmingway kitten.  He is unique in that he has 5 toes.  It looks like he has hands.  This sweet boy is a very good boy.  It took no time at all to litter box train him.  He would love to have a home with one of his brothers.  If not though he definitely needs a home with another kitten or young cat.  He has been through too much to not have a companion.  Armondo is a special boy with the tiniest of meows.  He will be an excellent companion and addition to your family.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Armondo is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)      November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Hi my name is Ricky Ricardo!  I am an 14 month old young man whose first 8 months were horrific.  I was born on the property of an oil company and lived in the pallets on the property with my brothers.  We were all part of a feral cat colony.  These nice ladies learned about our situation and decided they had to help us.  They started feeding us and then put these long narrow cages out with the most yummy food inside.  I could not resist and in I went.  Well guess what???  I could not get out.  That was very scary.  Then they took me to this building and left me.  That was the vet.  They were actually taking care of me!  That was first for sure.  Miss Becca stepped up to foster me and has helped me to adjust to INSIDE life as a pet.  I love it and have adjusted very well.  I get great food every day and it is never too hot or too cold.  I get along great with the other 5 cats here and am good with her young boys.  We run and play and have the best time together.  We can be adopted with a sibling or by ourselves.  We are all ready for the journey to our forever home.  To be considered for your family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. (We are currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)March 15, 2025, 8:37 pm

Hi my name is Tessa.  ! was born on the property of an oil company and lived in the pallets on the property with my foster brothers.  We were all part of a feral cat colony.  These nice ladies learned about our situation and decided they had to help us.  They started feeding us and then put these long narrow cages out with the most yummy food inside.  I could not resist and in I went.  Well guess what???  I could not get out.  That was very scary.  Then they took me to this building and left me.  That was the vet.  They were actually taking care of me!  That was first for sure.  Miss Becca stepped up to foster me and is helping me to adjust to INSIDE life as a pet.  I was the last one to come to my foster home.  I am younger than the boys and am behind them in my social skills.  I watch the people from afar.  I want to be petted and loved on but am still a bit afraid.  I just need a nice loving home where people will give me a chance to adjust and settle in.  I know that I can do it and become a very loving kitty.   I just need a little time.  I get along great with the other 5 cats here.  So may be if I had a feline friend in my forever home that would help.  I a spayed, current on all my shots, FIV negative and microchipped.  To be considered for my forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)December 23, 2024, 12:05 pm

Story
Hi my name is Derrick.  I am an all black and slinky kitty, with a white mark on my chest- wide eyes and a long tail! I am very affectionate with my siblings.  I used to snuggle with them and clean them often! One of my brothers was adopted right after Christmas and the other one was adopted on January 20.  I miss them but am now ready to find my forever home.  Hopefully it will be with you.  I am food driven, love treats and a cozy spot on the couch or near the fireplace. I am a very social boy and I stay out and about the home but can still be a little scared of QUICK human contact.  You just have to go slow.  I do though follow my foster mom around! I like to know where she is and I love her attention.  If you are looking for a snuggle buddy for your kitty this I am your guy!  Derrick is neutered, current on all shots, FIV negative and microchipped.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net,  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Derrick is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Princess Spotify has been with Critter Cavalry Rescue for a month.  She has blossomed and has gained confidence that humans will love her and support all her needs.  She came from a motel resident that found her at the edge of the woods as a young kitten.  She took her in and as she grew a little older, she knew she could not afford to spay her and keep her fed.  Now Critter Cavalry Rescue has this most unusual beauty in their care and she is a showstopper in the looks department for sure.  We have never seen such unusual SPOTS!  She is ready to be adopted and her attributes are many.  Friendly, sweet, but still a little timid, Spotify loves her cat tower and wand toys.  She also loves chasing balls in the plastic interactive tiered tower and she adores head scratches, and rolls over for a quick belly rub.  Good with other cats which is wonderful, this girl is only 7 months old and ready to claim her castle in a new home.  Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
Luna and her sister Binx came to me from a friend who was moving into a rental where she’s not allowed to have cats. She was very nervous to put them in a shelter so I offered to take them in temporarily. I was open to keeping them permanently if my cat got along with them, which she does not and I have to keep them in their own room right now which makes me very sad. They’re such sweet, loving, curious, friendly girls. They’ve lived with other cats and dogs and have even interacted with my rabbits and guinea pigs and seem to be super comfortable with animals. Good with kids too. They love to play, snuggle, explore, very reactive to catnip. They are bonded and need to stay together. The only health thing that I’ve noticed is they seem to maybe have some allergies as they’re prone to sneezing and they kinda snort a little bit when they’re sniffing around a new area. I’m looking for a home for them where they’ll have lots of love and space. If that’s you please reach out to me!
