Meet Bagheera & Salem

Bagheera and Salem are two beautiful black cats with a deep bond and complementary personalities, looking for a loving forever home
together.

Bagheera
Named after the sleek panther from The Jungle Book, Bagheera lives up to his name. Hes bold, talkative, and full of personality.

He loves to chat with his humans and keep tabs on everything happening around him. While he may seem a bit reserved when it comes to cuddles at first, give him a little time and youll see his softer side shine.
Once he trusts you, Bagheera turns into a total sweetheartrolling around, asking for attention, and happily accepting belly rubs.

Salem
Salem is the quieter half of this duo, with a gentle and affectionate nature. He can be a bit shy initially, but he makes up for it with a heart full of love.

A little on the chonky side, Salem is irresistibly cuddly and has a purr that just doesnt quitseriously, its like a tiny motor running nonstop. He loves being close to his people and will gladly soak up all the affection you have to give.

The Perfect Pair
Together, Bagheera and Salem balance each other beautifully. Bagheera brings confidence and curiosity, while Salem offers calm, cozy companionship.
They rely on each other for comfort and companionship, and their bond is something truly special to witness.

Their Ideal Home
These boys would do best in a patient, loving home where they can continue to grow and thrive together. With a little time and understanding, theyll reward you with affection, companionship, and plenty of purrs.

Meet Linny & Ollie!

Some kittens are affectionate. Linny and Ollie are invasively affectionate.

These two sibling best friends are available as a bonded pair, and they fully believe that personal space is more of a suggestion than a rule. Expect tiny paws on your keyboard, surprise shoulder visits, kittens in your lap before you've even finished sitting down, and an audience for absolutely everything you do.

Linny, the adorable tuxedo with extra-special polydactyl paws, brings the charm and confidence. Ollie, the resident floof, is soft, snuggly, and always ready to join whatever adventure is happening. Together, they're everything you imagine when you picture kittens.

Playful. Curious. Adventurous. Silly. Lovey.

They chase toys with Olympic-level enthusiasm, investigate every corner of the house like tiny detectives, and then crash into a cuddle puddle as if they've never caused a moment of chaos in their lives.

These two are growing up surrounded by love and are eager to share it. They don't just want to be part of your familythey want to be involved in every aspect of it.

If you're looking for double the laughs, double the purrs, and double the love, Linny and Ollie are ready to invade your heart... and probably your personal bubble, too. And honestly? You won't want it any other way!

Linny & Ollie are currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting them, please send a message here, or email [email protected].

Meet Olivia!

Hello, gorgeous! My name is Olivia, and if you've ever thought David Bowie had great style, wait until you see my one-of-a-kind calico markings. My unique face gives me a look that's as unforgettable as my personality!

I was found as a very friendly stray, and it's clear that people are one of my favorite things. I absolutely love attention and am happiest when I'm being petted, cuddled, or carried around. If you're looking for a cat who enjoys being part of the action and soaking up affection, I may be your perfect match.

I've shown friendly behavior around other cats and haven't had any negative reactions when meeting feline friends. My experience with children is unknown, but with proper introductions and respectful interactions, I may do well in many different home environments.

What I'm really looking for is a family of my ownone that appreciates a sweet, affectionate companion with a little extra flair. If you're ready to add a loving calico cutie with rock-star looks to your life, I can't wait to meet you!

Olivia is currently at our PetSmart location on Telegraph. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email [email protected].

Meet Miss Abyss, Missy Abyssie, Byssie for short.

She is nearly three years old, fourteen pounds of gorgeous, glossy black cat, and she has a very small meow that does not match her body at all. This is perhaps the most important thing to know about her.

Byssie came to rescue when her family had to move and couldnt take her with them. It wasnt the plan, but shes settling in and cautiously open to what comes next.

She likes attention and affection on her own terms, which is a completely reasonable way to live. When shes into it, shes into it. When shes not, she will tell you, and occasionally that communication involves a nip. Shes not mean about it. Shes just clear.

She does enjoy a good play session. Her preferred method involves disappearing behind a hanging sheet and batting at a wand toy from the other side, all the drama, none of the exposure. Ghost Abyss, if you will.

She is also a fan of naps and snacks. Honestly, same. She did go a little hard on the snacks at some point, which is understandable and relatable, and she could use a home that will help her slim down gradually. Her green eyes are stunning, her coat is gorgeous, and she carries her fourteen pounds like someone who has fully accepted herself, which is honestly aspirational.

Byssie showed some curiosity about other cats in her foster home but didnt have enough time to fully settle in with them, so her compatibility with cats, dogs, and kids is unknown. She may do best as an only pet, or with another very chill cat who will mind their own business and leave her in peace after a slow, careful introduction.

A calm, quiet household without young kids or a lot of chaos is where she will truly thrive.

She is a lot of cat in the best possible way. The right person is going to be absolutely smitten.

Abyss is currently at our PetSmart location on Woodward. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email [email protected].

**Meet Loki & Hela!**

Greetings, mortals. Were Loki and Helabonded tabby siblings, approximately one year old, and ready to bring a little mischief, magic, and a whole lot of love into our forever home.

Our story started outdoors, where a kind-hearted person looked out for us and eventually brought us inside so we could experience the good life.

Were a friendly, fun-loving duo who love to play, explore, and keep each other entertained. Whether we're chasing toys, wrestling in the living room, or curling up together for a well-earned nap, we're happiest when we're side by side. That's why we're looking for a home together.

We also get along well with other cats, so we'd fit right in with a feline-friendly family. Mostly, though, we're hoping to find people who will appreciate our playful personalities, adorable tabby good looks, and the special bond we share.

If you're looking for double the purrs, double the entertainment, and double the love, Loki and Hela are ready to rule your heart and maybe your couch, too.

Loki & Hela are currently at our PetSmart location on Woodward. If you are interested in meeting them, please send a message here, or email [email protected].

Hi, I'm Oreo!

I'm an 8-year-old tuxedo girl with a short little tail, a big personality, and an even bigger heart.

My family could no longer care for me, so I'm looking for a new place to call home. It's been a big change, but I'm staying hopeful because I know my perfect person is out there somewhere.

If you're looking for a cat who loves affection, we might be a perfect match. I absolutely love, love, LOVE being pet. Head scratches? Yes. Chin rubs? Absolutely. Extra attention just because I'm cute? Even better. I'll happily soak up every bit of affection you're willing to give.

I'm also a pretty entertaining little lady. I'm chatty, silly, and have just the right amount of sass to keep life interesting. I enjoy playtime, love being involved in whatever you're doing, and I'm not shy about sharing my opinions when I think they're important.

I have a short tail that makes me extra memorable. My previous family told the rescue it became that way after a window fell on it long ago. These days, it's just part of my charm.

I would likely do best in a calm home where I can spend quality time with my people. I'm the kind of cat who wants a real connection not just a place to live, but a person to love. If you're looking for a loyal companion to chat with, snuggle with, and share your days with, I would be thrilled to apply for the position.

As for other animals, we're still figuring that out. So far, I haven't been reactive to the cats I've met, but we're continuing to learn more about my preferences.

What I do know is that I have so much love left to give. I deserve a family that will love me unconditionally, and in return, I'll reward them with endless affection, loyal companionship, and plenty of purr-filled snuggle sessions.

I'm waiting patiently for my second chance. Maybe it's with you.

Love,
Oreo

Meet Vinnie!

Vinnie is an adorable 4-year-old grey and white gentleman who decided life on the streets simply wasn't for him. He showed up hungry at a feral colony and made it abundantly clear that he'd much rather be inside where the snacks, soft beds, and humans live.

This curious boy likes to know what's going on at all times. Vinnie is likely to be right there supervising. His adventurous spirit has volunteers wondering if he might even enjoy learning to walk on a harness.

Vinnie has a deep appreciation for treats and is always happy to discuss snack-related opportunities. He enjoys head scratches too just in moderation. He's a cat who appreciates having his boundaries respected and is still fine-tuning a few of his own. Aren't we all?

Vinnie prefers an adult or older kids only home situation.

One thing Vinnie has absolutely perfected is the bombastic side-eye. Whether he's judging your life choices, questioning your snack selections, or simply being dramatic for sport, his facial expressions are second to none.

Vinnie is equal parts charming, inquisitive, and entertaining. If you're looking for a cat with personality, opinions, and a healthy sense of humor, this handsome busybody might just be your perfect match.

"What's the worst thing that can happen?"

I was found lost outside with my sister, and lucky for us a nice rescue scooped us up and gave us a cozy place to grow and flourish.

My name is Dr Pepper Zero and my sister, Cherry Coke and I were brought into rescue as littles. I am a female black panther with a little dash of white on my belly. I was born March 2026.

I will happily snuggle up with you and watch a movie or read a book, AFTER you play with me. I zoom around the room chasing my string toy mouse, worm or balls. However, there are times when I just lay and watch everyone else go crazy...LOL

I have really learned that wet food and treats are a pretty cool thing. I think dogs, other cats and even kids are pretty cool. I would be happiest with a cat or even dog friend in my forever home. Someone to play and cuddle with.

I would love to meet you and get to know you better! I can not wait to find my forever home.

"Be a Pepper!"

Dr. Pepper Zero is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email [email protected].
