In the shelter’s words
Meet the dynamic trio: Mim is a beautiful solid black girl, Malachai is a solid black boy, and a stunning Magic Man is a Russian Blue boy. They are all about 12 weeks old (DOB about 8/1/26). Not every kitten starts life knowing the comfort of a human touch. These three 12-week-old babies were born to a feral mama who tragically lost her life, and they’ve been learning that the world can still be a safe place. They’re still a little shy, but please don’t let that fool you! These babies are trying so hard, and their progress has been nothing short of remarkable. They were already older than the ideal age for taming kittens when socialization began, yet they now allow themselves to be held and petted—and they PURR! ❤️ They are taking the big step and learning to trust people. Give these precious babies a chance. Their story deserves a happy ending. They get along with other cats and are accustomed to small, respectful dogs. Their ideal families will be gentle, patient, and willing to give them the time they need to feel secure. They are VERY playful and active. They love to play with toys or other cats and are never bored. They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, had their first distemper vaccine, been wormed, had advantage for fleas, and been vet checked and spayed or neutered (Nov 11). Additional vaccines included in adoption fee. Preference will be given to local adopters who have a young playmate companion for the kitten or are willing to adopt a pair. We do not adopt kittens to homes where they will be a solo pet. May be adopted separately or as a pair (discount for two!) If interested in these cutie pies, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 (Land line) or hhfrey1@tds.net.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Potential adopters are required to complete our application before adoption. Our adoption fee varies based on the age and breed of the cat. The fee includes testing for feline leukemia and aids, the series of distemper vaccines, the rabies vaccines, wormings, advantage so they are flea free when you take them home, a veterinary exam, and the spay or neuter. Microchipping is available for an additional $45. The adoption fee is waived for qualifying adopters interested in one of our sponsored cats. At the time of adoption, adopters must sign a contract indicating their willingness to obtain all remaining vaccinations, treatments, and spay or neuter. If a placement doesn't work out (e.g., a family member discovers he/she is allergic), the animal is returned to the Stray Connection and re-adopted.
