Frida โ€” Female โ€” 7 Months Old

Frida is a petite, dainty little sweetheart searching for her forever home, and hopefully a forever lap to snooze on! Sheโ€™s a silly, easygoing girl who loves being around people and happily keeps you company wherever you are.

This tiny chatterbox is always ready to share her thoughts, feelings, and the latest gossip. With her adorable face, soft-as-silk fur, and gentle purrs, sheโ€™s sure to steal your heart in no time.

Frida shares a wonderful bond with her brother Fettuccineโ€”youโ€™ll often find him gently grooming Frida, which explains why her fur always looks so fabulous. While Frida is available for a solo adoption, the two of them would be absolutely lovely adopted as a pair.

Sheโ€™s a pro with the litter box, loves using her scratching posts, and is comfortable around children. She doesnโ€™t mind being picked up, and she gets along well with other cats given a slow, thoughtful introduction.

Frida's Adoption fee is: $150
This includes Spay, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, FELV/FIV Testing, pyrantel dewormer and microchip.

Our adoption application can be found online at:

Fettuccine โ€” Male โ€” 7 Months

Fettuccine is a handsome 7-month-old kitten searching for his purrfect family! Heโ€™s a gentle soul who has blossomed into quite the snuggle monster, always ready for cuddles and receiving scritches. This expressive, talkative boy loves to โ€œchatโ€ through his cute little meows and trills. Youโ€™ll know itโ€™s time to give him some love when you feel a soft head-bonk against your leg or armโ€”and when heโ€™s feeling extra bold, heโ€™ll simply tuck his head under your hand to request pets. Subtlety isnโ€™t exactly his strong suit, but we think his charm more than makes up for it.

While Fettuccine may be a bit reserved at first and prefers to quietly observe his surroundings, he warms up quickly and soon becomes an affectionate companion. He spends his days pouncing on mouse toys with his sister Frida, cuddling with his humans, and getting into just the right amount of mischief.

Fettuccine is available for a solo adoption, but would so wonderfully adopted together with his sister Frida. Heโ€™s a pro with the litter box, loves using his scratching posts, and gets along well with other cats given a proper introduction. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful family companion, but he would do best with children who understand he may need a little time to warm up before they can be best friends!

Fettucini's Adoption fee is: $150
This includes Neuter, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, FELV/FIV Testing, pyrantel dewormer and microchip.

Meet Munchie - Just turned 3yrs on Nov 3, 2025 - Female
** Needs to be an ONLY Pet **

Munchie โ€œMunch Munchโ€ is a tiny little girl who just turned 3 years old on November 3, 2025. She seems to have a form of dwarfism so she will not get bigger than she already is. But donโ€™t let her size fool you. Munchie has a mighty โ€œroarโ€ or in her case, a quirky little squeak. It was observed in her foster home that she does not care for other cats. They intimidate her, and she lets them know she doesnโ€™t want them around her. So, she hides a lot. She has never been around little kids so she needs an adult only household.

Munchie has a beautiful coat! She is a piebald marbled Tabby with a very cute pink nose. The splash of white covers her face, chest, tummy, all fours, and the tip of her tail. Her eyes have a sweet โ€œworriedโ€ look to them guaranteed to melt your heart. Munchie has impeccable litter habits.

Munchie needs an experienced cat owner who has the patience to work with her every day. She likes it when you talk to her, sheโ€™s a good listener, and will approach if you greet her with an extended finger. In time she will come out of her shell once she learns to trust you and, we believe, without other cats in the home to intimidate her, she will have a better chance to feel secure and to be able to blossom into the reigning queen we know she is.

Munchie needs to be in a home where she is the ONLY pet. She is very timid, so a slow deliberate approach works best with her. Munchie knows her name and will pay attention when you call her. She will stand and watch as you work in the kitchen just in case you decide to hand out treats. Munchie knows what โ€œTreats!โ€ means. She will be the first to get in position in the receiving line and squeak in delight to let you know she is ready. She will take the treats from your hand once she gets to know you. It will be your key to getting personally acquainted with Munchie.

Munchie loves to sleep with her human without you knowing sheโ€™s there except for her gentle steps and loud purring as she slips in to cuddle next to you. Her foster mom is always surprised to find her cuddled up by her legs as she's watching TV. She is very stealthy.

We believe once she is in a home where there is no competition, she will become more confident and outgoing given time.
Munchie is gentle and easy to handle but not the type of girl that likes to be held and loved on. On her terms, she will head bump your hand as you pet her without looking.

She likes to play with the ball in the doughnut toy on her own or with a dangle toy with her foster mom. She loves anything she can bat around. Loves to sleep in a cozy box. She loves to be in high places where she can comfortably look down on everything and still feel safe.

A favorite spot is on the back of the couch, under the couch, or she will make a nest with a blanket on the couch to take a nap. You can also find Munchie napping at the bottom level of the cat tree where again she feels safe. She wants to be with you, but on her terms.

If you are looking for a sweet kitty that can share your quiet home with you, Munchie is your girl.

Munchie's Adoption fee is: $120
This includes Spay, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, FELV/FIV Testing, pyrantel dewormer and microchip.

https://giving.classy.org/campaign/753929/donate

Before the ball drops and we welcome 2026, we want to take a moment to celebrate everything weโ€™ve accomplishedโ€”together.

Your love and support have made it possible for Kitties for Keeps Rescue to celebrate 7 incredible years of saving feline lives, like Lilly who had a bad eye infection and had to have one eye removed and her mom Elsa, who lost part of her ears and tail due to frostbite from living outdoors in the cold weather.

Thanks to your generosity, Kitties for Keeps Rescue was able to intake 72 cats and kittens in 2025 who needed a safe place to land. We supplied all of their medical needs, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, etc. to prepare them for their new adoptive homes. A few needed emergency surgeries which prepared them to be ready for their new families.

To Donate, Click here: https://giving.classy.org/campaign/753929/donate

Mocha also had a ruptured left eye, and had to have eye removal surgery. Both Lily and Mocha have found their forever families and we couldn't help these babies if it wasn't for the generous donations from our supporters.

As we look ahead to 2026 as a 501c3 non profit who relies solely on donations from the public, we are filled with hopeโ€”but we still have work to do. Your continued support makes all the difference.

Would you consider making a special year-end gift to help us reach our goal by December 31? No amount is too small.

There are still many more cats and kittens in need of a second chanceโ€”and we canโ€™t do it without you.

Every day matters, and every dollar makes a difference. Your donation helps us provide care, love, and brighter futures for cats in need.

Will you help us make an even greater impact this year? Together, we can save more lives!

Wishing you a joyful and inspiring start to 2026

With gratitude,

Kitties For Keeps Rescue

Meet Pandora โ€” Ready for Her Second Chance

Currently at Pet Supplies Plus - Merrionette Park

Pandora is a 4.5-year-old sweetheart who was recently relinquished into our rescue, and sheโ€™s now hoping to find a loving forever home just in time for the holidays.

This beautiful girl has a calm, gentle demeanor and may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a moment โ€” once she warms up, her friendly, affectionate personality shines through. Pandora is the kind of cat who enjoys peaceful moments, soft pets, and the comfort of a safe, quiet home.

If you're looking for a sweet, mellow companion to share your home (and heart) with Pandora just might be your perfect match.

Pandora's Adoption fee is: $120
This includes Spay, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, FELV/FIV Testing, pyrantel dewormer and microchip.

Meet Nana,

Nana is approximately 1.5 years old. Looking for a loving, low-maintenance companion? Meet Nana, a female cat with a heart full of love and a personality to match!

Nana is a gentle soul who gets along well with dogs โ€“ just give her a slow and thoughtful introduction, and sheโ€™ll soon be part of the pack. Sheโ€™s already a pro when it comes to litter pan manners and uses her scratching post like a perfect lady. She doesn't seem to like other cats in her foster home, and will swat, even with slow introduction, so we would recommend she be an only kitty.

Nana is an independent girl, who isn't a lap kitty, but is present on her own terms.

Whether you're looking for a buddy for your current pets or a sweet new family member, Nana fits right in. Sheโ€™s playful, and ready to bring a whole lot of love into your life.

Nana's Adoption fee is: $120
This includes Spay/Neuter, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, FELV/FIV Testing, pyrantel dewormer and microchip.
