Adopt
The Cat House on the Kings doesn't only take in surrendered cats, we also actively rescue cats and kittens from local animal shelters and "the streets" (many of our animals are found abandoned on the side of the road), restore them to health, and find them loving homes. We rescue and place hundreds of cats and kittens every year. Oh, and we don't just rescue cats — we take in puppies and dogs too!
Listed below is our Spring Collection of cats and dogs available for adoption. For more information and photos on a specific critter, and to fill out an online adoption application, click on the critter's picture or the MORE button.
If you cannot decide which critter would be the best match for your family, just fill out a general cat or dog adoption application and one of our adoption coordinators will be happy to help match you with someone suitable.
All adoptable animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for fleas. All cats and kittens are also treated for worms and ear mites, tested for FeLV/FIV and litter-box trained.
For more information please read about how to adopt a cat or dog from The Cat House.
Special note for out-of-the-area adopters
By choosing to travel to The Cat House on the Kings from out of the area and adopt from us, you must agree to accept 100% of the financial responsibility for the care of the animal(s) and that if something does not work out with the animal(s) you will be responsible for returning the animal(s) to us safely at your expense. (We do not have the ability or financial resources to travel out of the area to retrieve our cats.) If this is not acceptable to you, please consider adopting locally.

Athena
Beautiful, classic, striped tabby treasure Athena is hoping for a extra-special forever person. This polished velvet darling is a very shy girl, sometimes referred to as a spirit cat because she isn’t likely to present herself to just anyone, but is excellent at hiding behind the shower curtain or under the couch! Her wonderful …
Batty
Two burly brothers named Batty and Paddington came to us as feral kittens and have proven themselves to be loving bonded, and handsome purrasauruses! Batty is the sleek and polished housepanther of the two and has a world-class purr and loves to be petted and give fuzzy head boops! He will appreciate patience and affection as he gets …
Bogart
With his pouty little mouth and big, soulful eyes, Bogart has a lot in common with his famous Hollywood namesake! He’s a talented heartthrob who flips over playfully on his back to get you to rub his fuzzy wuzzy belly! Works every time! And at bedtime he’ll be scouting out his comfy spot in the big bed with you! He’s …
Cat 19849 (Little Tail)
This unique kitten came to us with his littermates and Mom. He has a cute tiny tail and we're calling him a Manx. He has a winning personality and super charming. This mini panther is a little shy and will take a little extra TLC to make him feel at home but once he feels safe he's all cuddles from there. He …
Cat 20472
Cat 20472 is ready for adoption. She's adjusting to her new area, but all signs point to a speedy adjustment. Cat 20472 loves to play and zip around with the other cats. She's a little iffy about new people, but with patience and love she lets her guard down. We're hoping someone will take her home that has lots of …
Cat 21036 (Gabbana)
Meet this very beautiful gold-dusted girl named Gabbana! What an odyssey she has been on that took a u-turn toward happiness when she came to us! She was malnourished and had a serious hernia that required a “Hail Mary” to give her a chance. And she’s been a joy through it all, thriving and becoming a strong and …
Cat 21230 (Grim)
Meet Grim, a gorgeous seal point Siamese mix fella. He was found roaming as a stray cat after no one claimed him, we thought could find him a permanent loving forever home. Grim is still adjusting to living in the shelter for now, but with the right family, he can open up and be the most loving boy. He enjoys to …
Lenny
| Sleek and lovable, raven-black Lenny has the spirit of a live-wire and the heart of a lovebug! He started out as the smallest of his litter, but that just made him determined to be the jet-propelled one so he could get … |
Marvin
When you’ve earned the label “shelter favorite”, like happy, handsome, affectionate Marvin, you probably are a pretty marvelous kitty! He moves elegantly in his extra fluffy black silk suit through all the fun and simple pleasures that fill his days! He gets along well with other cats, likes every kind of toy, even …
Miles
Meet sweet Miles, a mild mannered, buff and cream cutie who loves toys or feathers dangled on a wand, jinglebell balls, romps with his brothers and sister, and cozy naps in a nice, warm spot. Even when it’s time to dine his needs are simple, a little treat now and then and a preference for chicken are as opinionated as this …
Molly
Meet little dolly Molly, she is a kitty who has a quiet elegance, a big heart, and an undemanding personality. She is independent, sits back to observe before exploring. Such a down-to-earth attitude is probably the result of being the single sister with three lively brothers who all have easy, undemanding natures, but love playtime …
Mugsy
Marvelous, mellow Mugsy is a beautiful big cat who was recently shaved due to matting. He will benefit from a high quality food (he loves salmon flavors) and frequent brushing. He startles easily and may have some vision limitations ~ but nothing that keeps him from playing and enjoying life. He is a super snuggler, very vocal, and is …
Oliver
Meet handsome Oliver, the purrfect example of a tabbyman classic! From his bunny-soft, silky-smooth coat to his beautiful symmetrical, sugar-kissed face, he’s a calendar guy for sure! His foster mom says he’s “a boy who’s easy to fall in love with” thanks to his calm but curious disposition and …
Paddy
Two bouncy pouncy kittens named Paddington and Batty came to us from a feral mama and have grown into very burly boys who would love a forever home together. Paddington fits the definition of a spirit cat who will bond with his humans but readily make himself invisible around strangers and unfamiliar situations. He is attached to his …
Petra
Young mamacat Petra has been an outstandingly loving mother to her sweet kittens and is ready to prop her feet up and bask in the kind of gentle affection that she has shared so generously. She’s a lovely girl in her extra floofy suit of silky gray with the cutest little smile that looks dipped in sugar! Gorgeous green eyes make …
Simba
In her dramatically lovely coat of velvet black and white with brushstrokes of gold, Simba is a gorgeous girl! But drama is something she prefers to avoid, especially in the form of loud noises and raucous activity! A sweet, quiet family is what she dreams of, maybe one where she could be the one-and-only or the friend of a tolerant …
Trooper
Apricot orange Trooper has definite likes and dislikes! He would call them standards! In the positive column this handsome guy loves all humans, but does like to play a little rough (he’s a burly boy afterall!) so might not be a good companion for small children. When you pick him up he gives velvety nose bonks, and when you …

Not Ready to Adopt?
Foster a Kitten!
We still have kittens we've rescued from local shelters. Many are very young — too young to be adopted — and need lots of TLC and handling to bond with humans.
Never done this before? Don't worry! We'll provide all the stuff you need to get started, and we'll be in contact so that you'll know what to do, and you'll have a good experience. And who knows, maybe you'll bond with your kitten, and end up adopting him!
Sponsor a Cat
We know that some of our cats, for whatever reasons — old age, trauma, or medical problems — will never be adopted and will spend their lives here. We cherish these kitties and always want to be able to provide the best for them. We promised them that they would never again have to worry about having enough food to eat, a warm bed in which to snuggle, or a caring human to give them lots of love and to take care of their health.
We also realize that some of you may not be able to adopt one of our cats but would like to be able to help them out. That's why we have the SPONSOR-A-CAT program. You can become a sponsor for just $15 a month.
Your donation helps pay for the basic needs of each cat during its stay with us. When you sign-up to sponsor a cat you will be able to view their story and latest pictures. You are also welcome (and encouraged!) to visit us and "your" cat as often as you can. The cats do remember frequent visitors, and enjoy the individual love and attention their sponsors provide.
