Pajama

Pajama and PJ are the perfect pair of jammies! Mommy Pajama’s personality is Saturday morning cartoons and fruity pebbles cereal. She’s a busy little bee who can’t wait to start the day. She's a outgoing extrovert and an adventurer with just the right amount of confidence. There's no such thing as “too many pets” in her book, and she loves exploring her foster home. She works hard for treats, standing up on her hind paws to encourage promptness.

While Pajama and PJ each have their own personality, they also have a lot in common. Both are affectation, friendly, and playful. They love leaping—high!—after wand toys and playing chase. They share adorable mannerisms, like leaning in for cuddles and bouncing up to encourage pets. They are becoming buddies with the resident cats in their foster home and are unfazed by the large resident dog. When it’s time to relax, you can find Pajama and PJ snuggled up on a soft blanket on a ledge or curled up in a cozy box.

PJ

Pajama and PJ are the perfect pair of jammies! PJ’s personality is like a laid-back morning—with a cup of tea as you reflect on world outside your window. Her foster family loves her gentle sweetness. PJ’s a thoughtful little lady, taking time to carefully survey her surroundings before joining the fun. Although she was more cautious than her mom when she arrived, she's now happily settled into the mix of her foster home. She's charmed her foster family with her little chirps and pretty smile.

Valerie

I'm Valerie, and I'm looking for a roommate. I first came to Paws and Claws in April of 2025, and I've been looking for my forever home since then. I'm 10 years old and prefer a calm home where I can be queen of the castle. I will never say no to a little milk, cheese, or peanut butter, if you're offering.

I enjoy hanging out on the back of the couch near you, or laying on the rug nearby, but cuddling has never really been my thing. I do love some pets and scratches to my head, though! In exchange for taking care of me, I'll keep you safe by monitoring the outside world through the windows and letting you know when any birds or squirrels pass by -- window-sitting is one of my talents! I also do a great impression of a seal, where I lay on my back and put my feet up I the air like flippers. I think you'll really love it! If you have some extra space in your house and heart, and are looking to give an older gal a place to chill, I think we'll get along great.

Hazel

Hazel is a glamorous little diva -- can't you tell by the tortoiseshell coat? This chirpy girl wants to be included in your fun. In her foster home, she spends her time perfectly positioning herself between her two people, swishing back and forth between them to feel properly attended to by everyone. She's endlessly fascinated by human bedtime routines, and loves to hear narration about what exactly it is you're doing. Readers be warned of her biggest quirk: Hazel will keep a protective watch over you while you're in the bathroom! Hazel does appreciate her alone time, however, where you can usually find her snuggled up by the window or in a cozy spot in bed. At the end of the day, Hazel's perfect home is somewhere she can laze away the days away in her hammock, eat allll the wet food she can persuade you to give her, and make biscuits next to you on the sofa.

Atlas

I’m Atlas and I love managing humans. It’s important to keep an eye on my humans, so I would love a forever home with high-up spots so I can watch them from when they move around to cook or do chores. I investigate a lot to make sure everything is safe for them.

My favorite time of day is dinnertime, when my human feeds me and gets to spend the rest of the evening with me. After eating, I like to play with my toys, but can keep myself plenty occupied without my human's help if they're busy. I love chasing balls, mice, and wine corks in the hallway.

As for snuggling, I don't mind being picked up for a brief cuddle, but I prefer my paws on solid ground. I enjoy being pet when I am laying down and, when I trust you, I will let you rub my belly. At night, I like to tuck in my foster human and make sure they are settled.

If you are in need of an attentive companion who can entertain himself, I’m your pal!

Mermaid

You can tell by Mermaid's clipped ear and feisty spirit that she's a scrappy girl, who had some hard years. You can also tell by her rounded belly and penchant for head-rubs that she's also had some soft years, too. Since being in the care of Paws and Claws, Mermaid has learned about the luxuries of a plush cat bed, a bowl full of dry food (her favorite!), and napping in a human's lap. She's realized that she loves cosleeping with people, where you can both protect one another. Mermaid has found new favorite toys: lumps under the rug, carpet ghosts, and heavy rubber bands. She's become a lapcat, according to her foster, and loves sunbathing, window snoozing, and begging for extra meals. Mermaid won't be everyone's perfect cat -- but she doesn't have to be. She just needs one person who can love her for who she is, and see that she is a perfect side-kick (and maybe even best friend).

Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a sweet, herbaceous girl who has been looking for her forever home for over 160 days. She flourishes when around other cats, becoming a playful, outgoing, and confident orange girl. When by herself, she's soft and quiet, preferring to observe the world. She can be very intimated by people...until you get a wand toy out for her to chase! Then, she can't help but be excited. Lemongrass is just as curious as she is shy, especially when she has a friend leading the way. If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion for your feline friend at home, Lemongrass is just who you've been searching for.

Turin is a quiet boy with a sleepy look in his eye, who loves to follow closely behind his confident sister, Messina. Together, they love to see what exactly the humans around them are up to.

Nespresso

It's not often that we know the backstory for cats who end up in our care, but we do for Keurig and Nespresso. These two siblings were dumped at a boat launch in 2021, and were luckily found by someone kayaking down the river that night. At the beginning of 2026, Nespresso and Keurig were transferred from Michigan to the care of Paws and Claws, and have been with us now for over 130 days.

Both of these kitties are the absolute sweetest, most comforting animals their foster has interacted with. During a sleepover at the foster's house, when a child was having trouble falling asleep long after her other friends had gone to bed, Keurig and Nespresso were brought in the room, and snuggled and comforted the child until she was able to go to sleep. Keurig will frequently shake from pure excitement upon seeing his favorite humans, and Nespresso loves belly rubs and being hugged. Both of these guys can snuggle for hours and never tire of being petted. We know these guys will make the most loving companions to their forever home, when someone gives them the chance.

Yuzu

Yuzu (brown and white tabby) and Lychee (brown tabby) are one-year-old sisters who are sweet, affectionate, and the perfect blend of playful and peaceful. They love interactive wand toy sessions and engage beautifully with the foster child who often leads playtime, happily taking turns chasing, leaping, and showing off their athletic skills before settling in for cozy naps. Deeply bonded, they groom one another and check in throughout the day.

Yuzu is a confident, affectionate girl who also truly enjoys being close to her humans. She actively seeks out pets and loves having her cheeks stroked (and she has incredibly soft fur!). She’ll happily settle beside you and has been adorably working up the courage to fully claim your lap - sometimes placing one paw (then two… sometimes all four!) as she builds confidence. Like her sister, she adores wand toys and balances playful energy with long, peaceful rests. Yuzu is sweet, brave, and deeply connected to both her sister Lychee and her people.

Lychee is expressive about her affection. She’ll meow to be petted or picked up, and she means it! While she prefers snuggles in sweet, manageable doses (she does have important play sessions to attend to), she genuinely enjoys being held and staying close to her people. She initiates affection easily and has the softest little meow. After a burst of zoomies or a wand session, Lychee is happy to curl up nearby and relax. If her human is close, she’ll even stretch her paws out to gently knead their hand.

When she's not playing, she's watching you like a little shadow, always inquisitive about what it is that humans get up to. Her best quirk? Pocket loves water -- when she hears the faucet turn on, she comes running! At the end of a long day of playing, investigating, and climbing into every nook and cranny she can get into, all Pocket wants to do is settle right into bed with you and snooze the night away.

Bonus points if there's also a fuzzy blanket or heating pad involved! She does have an alter-ego, however: a little huntress! She loves to "hunt" the pigeons and squirrels through the window, tracking them until they leave. Apple Pie also loves to make her own "prey" with mouse toys, balls of paper, or anything she can bat around easily. Apple Pie's perfect adopter is someone who can give her the attention she deserves -- someone who is looking for a cuddlebuddy, playmate, and a lap/shoulder/chest cat for when they lay down at night.

Estelle loves to rule the roost and can have a bit of a cattitude. She loves to climb on to our volunteers shoulders to keep them on their toes, and loves to make her opinions known! Food is a sure way to her heart and so is accepting her opinionated nature. She has a lot of energy and intensity, but found her perfect playmate in our adoption center in Elm! Together, they help burn off some of their extra play energy.

Once she has gotten her energy out, this big-eyed girl is a true sweetheart who will make a wonderful companion. With a little time to settle in and learn household boundaries, she’s going to grow into an amazing cat. If you’re looking for a loving, spirited kitty who will purr loudly and keep life interesting, Estelle might be the perfect match.

At 6 pounds, Merino is small, but don't count her out of anything. When she gets the zoomies, she is as fast as lightning, and once she's worn out and comfortable, is a major snuggle princess.

Bighorn is named after the sheep species, with their long, curled horns, as a nod to his unique cauliflower ear and singular antenna. The most important thing Bighorn needs in his forever home is someone who is willing and enthusiastic to snuggle. He wants his human to be engaged with him, so although he can play and entertain himself independently and with Merino, he deeply values human companionship. Bighorn may be quicker to snuggles than playtime, but it won't take long for him to bound after a toy mouse, feather wand, jingle ball, paper towel tube, or whatever else you can offer (or he can get into).

His favorite game to play is "hide in the paperbag" where, you guessed it, he hides in a paper bag he finds around the house! As a friendly cat, when he sees you holding your hand out to him, he always comes over to gently bump your hand with his head, purring and asking for pets.

When you show him his food bowl, he tends to make little "cooing" sounds instead of meowing, which is one of his foster's favorite quirks about him. If you sound like you'd be Mug's perfect person, don't hesitate to fill out an adoption application today! You may just meet your new best friend.

Sierra Mist

Sierra Mist lives up to her name -- bubbly and so sweet! This girl's perfect person is someone who enjoys an interactive, affectionate companion, and is looking for a cat that truly feels part of their daily life. Sierra Mist would do excellent in a home where a talkative kitty is appreciated, and with a person who doesn't mind a cat-shaped shadow. A confident and playful cat, Sierra Mist would do great in a home where she can stay engaged with toys and attention. At the same time, her sweet, cuddly side means she'll happily settle in when you're ready for snuggles and biscuit-making. Her foster's favorite quirk of Sierra Mist is that she is adorably uncoordinated. When Sierra Mist plays with a wand toy, she sits up on her back paws and clumsily swings her front paws around while keeping her mouth wide open. As you might imagine, she's not very successful at catching toys, but she sure looks cute doing it!

Soft Serve

Soft Serve in the summertime? Sounds perfect to us! Soft Serve is a sweet, gentle girl who survived as a stray for 5 years before ending up at Paws and Claws. Soft Serve's perfect forever home is with someone who is happy to coexist alongside her -- a person who wants a cat who is happy to receive attention, but is just as happy to do their own thing when you're busy. Soft Serve's "own thing" tends to look like patting around a stuffed ball toy, or napping lazily in the sun. If you've been wanting a quiet, calm companion, Soft Serve is the right fit for you.

Mallow is a soft, gooey girl who clings to you like marshmallows to a graham cracker. She is an affectionate girl who loves hanging out with her person, whether that be cuddling in their lap or sitting on a window perch nearby. Her perfect person is someone who understands the importance of morning cuddles, as Mallow loves to wake her person up in the morning to snuggle -- her foster does report that Mallow knows what the snooze button is, however! Playtime is important to Mallow too, so she hopes to find her forever home with someone who won't mind waving a wand toy around for her. She is a sweet, affectionate, and playful girl who would make an excellent lifelong companion.

Crepe

Crépe is a bitsy cat who is gentle with her human and would enjoy a quiet life watching over you. She's got her fussy and grumbly vocalizations, but actually she's quite pleased with many simple things. She enjoys a sunny spot on the bed or nearby ledge to watch the world out the window while being near you, or having a third or fourth nap in her favorite round scratcher/bed combo. She might crawl into your lap if you have a plush blanket and you can lean in to hear her very soft purrs!

When it's playtime, you can enjoy chuckling at her dive, slide, and roll over in pursuit of a wand toy (especially on a bed!), her delight dashing through a tunnel, or when she grumbles and clutches a rolled up towel or yoga mat to rabbit-kick it excitedly. More often than not, she's spent after a few sprints and would like to plop on her side and have you dangle the wand toy for her to bat around. She's a great companion for reading time, movie night, and nap time.

That's why, in his ideal home, Soil is looking for a person who doesn't mind a kitty-sized permanent shadow, who is interested in everything they're getting up to. In addition, he hopes they'll be just as excited to play with him as he is to play with you, and that they'll be ready to snuggle the night away, come bedtime. His foster's favorite quirk of his is that Soil will "go long" during naptime, where he lays down on his back and stretches his legs completely straight to fall asleep. In their words, it is "ridiculously cute."

Dante

This sweet, bookish boy is Dante! After spending the first six years of his life as a community cat, he came to the door of an Indiana rescue, ready to retire, and eventually worked his way to Paws and Claws Cat Rescue. In his foster home, he's gentle and sociable, following his foster from room-to-room to keep tabs on what they're getting up to. Dante has also integrated in well with his foster's cats, and has even endured some very long grooming sessions with the patience of a saint! It is that exact patience that makes us believe he would make a wonderful, intelligent family cat. He isn't much of a cuddler, instead preferring to spend his energy with some intense playtime. His favorite way to play, and his foster's favorite quirk of his, is that he wraps his wand toys around table and chair legs to use them like kicker toys. After a long, tiring play session, Dante will usually curl up right next to his toys. It's so amazing to witness his pure relaxation, stretched out and feeling safe, knowing how many years he spend on-guard outside. Dante's perfect human is someone wanting a chill, more low-maintenance companion, ready to be by-your-side for years to come. We know he's ready for it!

Corny and Cheesy

You’d think with names like Cheesy and Corny, we were pushing some sort of discounted vending machine snack rather than two six-week-old orange kittens. Yet, here we are. As individuals, Cheesy and Corny have their own distinct methods of working their way into your heart. Cheesy is the quiet, reserved one. He observes the room with a mild, dignified skepticism, perfectly content to let his brother do the heavy lifting. Corny, on the other hand, is the bold explorer. He is the one who will march directly into the terrifying unknown of your hallway closet just to see what kind of dust is gathering on your shoes.

But the moment you actually pick either of them up, the charade ends. The dignity vanishes, the bravery evaporates, and they instantly begin to purr with the vibrating intensity of a malfunctioning window unit. It is an immediate, undeniable surrender.

When they aren't vibrating in your arms, they are playing. They rival each other in a chaotic, bouncing energy that makes you wonder what, exactly, they are running from. They are unbearably, hazardously cute. Dangerously cute, really. The sort of cute that should, frankly, require a permit. Sound enticing? Come meet them today!

Dasani and Ice Mountain are little heart-stealers: they'll hook you from day one! Both kittens are affectionate and playful, and comfortable being picked up and smothered with kisses. One of their favorite things to do in the morning is to come up to you and wake you up with purrs and little kisses right on top of you, to make sure you are up and ready to play! They carry their toys around in their mouths, with springs and stuffed mice being their favorites. Although it seems like their kitten energy will never deplete, they will eventually tucker themselves out. When they are sleepy, they will snuggle themselves close to you and (im)patiently wait for the pets they so clearly deserve. They tend to get attached to their humans quickly, so they mostly hang out in spaces where they can see where you are, and if they lose sight of you, they make their complaints heard through little meows!

Iceberg

Iceberg is a sweet, slightly shy boy who feels more confident when supported by his siblings, Romaine and Butterhead. When he's confident, he's an absolute lovebug of a cat whose number one passion in the world is eating!

Romaine

Romaine is a feisty but friendly girl. She loves pets, attention, begging for treats, and following her mom, Lettuce, around. Romaine's special talent is being able to turn anything into a toy, and her favorite pastime is antagonizing her siblings and chasing her foster's dog's tail.

Lettuce

Lettuce has been a dutiful mama cat to her garden variety of kittens, but now that they've gotten older and become more independent, it's clear: Lettuce is still just a little baby herself! At 2 years old, she still has so much energy in her body, which she chooses to expend through cardboard box hangout sessions, batting around some catnip toys, or chasing her kittens around the house. When she's all spent, she turns to you for some calming pets, showing off her sweet and affectionate side. Lettuce would make the perfect household companion for anyone, but especially those with other pets, including dogs!

Ivy

I'm Ivy, and I think I'm just the sweetest little black kitty you'll ever meet! I love being around people, and show you just how happy I am with kisses and head bumps. In my foster home, I expend my energy through some pretty intense play sessions with wand toys, so I hope to go home with someone who doesn't mind spending some time playing with me! When I'm by myself, you can usually find me sunbathing, but if your lap is open, I'll come join you. My foster thinks that, with my gentle demeanor, I would make a great family pet, but I would be just as content in any type of home where I can get all the pets and treats I want.

Spinach

Spinach looks as if he got dressed in the dark -- his white socks don't match! His front paws have ankle socks, one of his back legs has a knee-high sock, and the last one has a crew sock. Although his outfit is a major social faux pas, his unique markings do make him super cute to look at! His favorite place to hang out is on the windowsill with the sun beaming down on him, belly-up and purring. He loves to play with a wand toy, and his favorite place to be pet is right behind his ears.

Sarah Paulson

If you want three animals in one, Sarah Paulson is your girl! First off, she’s a Velcro dog; she supervises your showers, asks to sit on your lap during the workday, and sleeps between your legs. Second, her curiosity makes her sit up like a meerkat — she wants to know everything and anything that you're up to, and if she can be of any assistance. At the end of the day, she’s a very cute and energetic teenage cat ready to talk to you all day. Her biggest quirk? Although she's a very brave girl when she's in new situations or around new people, her biggest fear is that she is afraid of her own shadow!

Although she needs a bit of adjustment time to warm up to new people, she has a strong desire for cuddles that quickly outweighs any apprehension she may have. She loves curling up next to her person at night, and purring herself to sleep.

Rocket

Get ready for takeoff -- here's Rocket! Rocket is an affectionate guy who is happy to show his love to people and to other cats. His best friend is Arugula, and these two love to play and snuggle together in a black-and-white kitty pile. When around humans, Rocket can be a bit shy at first, but it's only a matter of time until his friendly spirit comes out -- you'll know he's comfortable when you hear him making "mrrrpp" sounds, demanding some pets. Make sure to have your wand toys handy, too, because Rocket definitely loves to play! After a long day, Rocket is always ready for some evening cuddles with his human (especially if that involves head and neck scritches.)

Arugula

Arugula is an active, high-energy salt-and-pepper coated girl looking for her forever home! In her foster home, Arugula immediately made herself comfortable and explored every corner of her new space. She keeps that confident energy in everything she does: she tells you when playtime is, when snuggle time is, and when nap time is! She's generally an independent kitty, but when her affectionate side comes out, she flops over on her back and makes air biscuits up at the sky -- it's too cute to ignore. Her perfect home absolutely includes her best friend, Rocket, but also has someone there to play with her and help her expend some of her energy. In turn, she promises to reward you with a lifetime of fun!

Coltsfoot is just a baby and he’ll tell you that himself! This chatterbox loves to chill with you and have a nice conversation before falling asleep for the most blissful nap you’ll ever see. He greets you when you get up with a very loud good morning and he’s so happy to see you when you get home -- but it makes him even happier when you stay in and loaf in bed together, cuddled close. He’s remarkably low key for his young age, but not low in personality. To put it simply, Coltsfoot is a sweetie pie full of love who is just a little sleepy.

She often follows her foster from room-to-room to keep an eye on things, and when she goes off to explore on her own, she's always bound to come rushing back soon with chirping meows to report on her findings. When she's in a playful mood, she can make anything into a toy -- even her tail!
