Available Cats
Viola
Once upon a time, on a beautiful sunny spring day, a group of violin and viola students gathered for a spring recital. What did their ears hear that afternoon? The vibrant sounds of a violin? The rich melancholy of the viola? The sound of a......squalling kitten??!! Yes, most definitely the sound of a kitten in distress. Fortunately for this little cutie, there were not one, but two animal rescue foster families in attendance that day. The kids dubbed her Viola. She was taken into foster care to grow, thrive and get used to the dog and adult cat in the foster home. Her first visit to the vet was on May 19th, where she weighed in at 1.3 pounds; she also got her first round of shots. She's a little small for her estimated age of about 7-8 weeks (as of May 25), but boy is she mighty, fearless. and growing every day! This little princess rules the foster home. She is a dilute tortie, and torties are well known for their tortitude -- and she definitely does not disappoint! Her story is not over yet -- it is just beginning. She is waiting for her purrrfect forever home to start writing the next chapter in her adventure.
Thin Mint 2
Thin Mint is a fluffy tabby kitten trying to be a calico, with her delightful copper calico spot on the top of her head and one on her belly. She was born March 6th of 2025 along with her littermate Samoa. She enjoys the company of other cats, and of course, her littermate and best friend Samoa.
Thin Mint acts more like a boy cat in her affection, attitude and demeanor. She can be quite wild when she plays, like a bull in a china shop. Thin Mint loves to play with all sorts of toys but especially loves toys with bells and toys that make crinkle noises. She loves to bunny kick her toys, throw them in the air, and chase them. After a long hard play, she loves to climb up on the lap of the nearest human and take a nap. She is a total love bug, cuddler and an expert biscuit maker in the making.
Anastasia
Здравствуйте, Анастасия.
That's "Hello, Anastasia" in Russian, which befits this beautiful five-year-old Russian blue kitty, Anastasia. This stunning Russian beauty is also an incredibly affectionate lap cat who loves to cuddle. She is unfazed by dogs, gets along with other cats, and is wonderful about using the litter box. And you will swoon when Anastasia gazes at you with those piercing, green movie-star eyes. You do not need to speak Russian to fall in love with this very special cat who is looking for her forever American home.
Chunk
Meet Chunk. He is a gentle giant, weighing in at 18 pounds, and he comes by his name honestly. But, even given his size, he is not an alpha kitty and gets scared easily by loud noises. Chunk is estimated to be about 7 years old. He loves to sit with his people all the time; he would love nothing better than to be a lap kitty for the rest of his days. Purring is one of his favorite activities -- as soon as you start petting him, his purr motor starts running. He gets along with other kitties, as long as they are not aggressive, but dogs are not his thing. Chunk still enjoys playing with little balls and toys. At some point in his life, the tip of one of Chunk’s canine teeth broke off. The vet has assured us that it is not causing any issues, and given his size he has no problem eating. To enjoy his life to the fullest, Chunk needs a quiet home. Maybe you have the perfect place.
Munchkin
Meet Munchkin, the softest brown tabby and Siamese mix kitten you will ever pet. Munchkin is a wonderful, playful kitty who loves to be a lap cat cuddling up with his human at night as well as next to the other kitties in his foster home. His favorite pastime is chasing a string toy, he carries them around the house asking you to make it move for him so he can jump high in the air to catch it. Munchkin also loves to watch the birds out the window. He chirps at them as they eat at the birdfeeder and when a squirrel or chipmunk comes to visit he is just beside himself. Munchkin gets along great with all the other cats in the foster home, but he has tried a dog and isn’t thrilled about them, so a home with no dogs is high on his list of priorities. As of January 2025, Munchkin was 6 months old. Maybe you have the perfect lap for Munchkin to curl up on.
Here’s a video of Munchkin in action! And another video…. And another video …. and another video (5/20/2025)
Hiccup
Here comes Hiccup, ready to get lots of love and attention! He is an orange tabby Siamese mix kitten, approximately 8 months old as of the end of January 2025. Hiccup spent the first 4 months of his life in a 2x2 cage at the shelter. Then, SARG came along, saw what a sweet kitty he was, and knew he needed to get out of that cage. He was placed in foster care in October 2024, and since then, he has blossomed into a wonderful, cuddly lap kitty who still loves to play—especially with the laser pointer.
Hiccup chirps at the birds on the birdfeeders and is fascinated by water running down the drain in the bathtub or shower. He doesn’t know a stranger, and whenever someone comes to the door, he’s the first kitty to arrive and greet the newcomer. At night, Hiccup sleeps soundly right by his foster mom’s side, keeping her warm on these cold winter nights. Even though she tosses and turns a lot, Hiccup always stays with her.
His favorite treat is Churu pops—he’ll do anything for one of those! He loves hard treats too and will dig them out of the puzzle treat box, which is so fun to watch. Hiccup gets along great with other kitties. Maybe you have the perfect cuddle spot for him!
Here’s a video of Hiccup!
Brie Clarson
We estimate Brie to be somewhat less than two years old. She's a beautiful kitty and very playful, sweet, and loving. She likes to follow her foster family around the house. She likes Victoria (the dog) and will cuddle with her from time to time.
Walker
Cat Ballou here reporting for The SARG Times. I’m interviewing Walker, a very special SARG kitty
Cat: Walker, tell us about yourself.
Walker: I’m an orange tabby, bobtail boy, and I’ve probably got a Manx cat for an ancestor somewhere. I’m the perfect weight for my big bones, topping the scale at 16 pounds. When I went in for my vaccines, the vet tech wanted to know if I was a cat or a mountain lion. I’m shy, but once we are friends, I want all the pets!
Cat: What is your career aspiration?
Walker: I’ve always wanted to be a Texas Ranger. Can’t you just see me with a white cowboy hat on my head?
Cat: What is your favorite quote?
Walker: A true friend is a friend for life.
Cat: Do you have any hobbies?
Walker: I love taking naps, and then watching the birbs and skwerls from the screen porch at my foster home. They are so sassy, because they know I can’t get out!
Cat: Would you consider yourself a lap cat?
Walker: I’m a polite, gentleman cat who doesn’t require a lap. I love to be beside you, and if you stretch out on a recliner or a sofa, I love to lay across your legs.
Cat: Any final words?
Walker: Are you looking for a handsome, 2-year-old fella? That’s me. Give me a chance, and I’m sure you’ll be my favorite person, and I’ll be your favorite cat.

Root Beer - ADOPTION PENDING!
Hi, there! My name is Root Beer, and I am waiting for my forever home. I was born in March, 2024, and I am in excellent health. I am neutered and have had all my shots. My brother, Oliver, and I came to SARG after our first owner made it clear she did not want us and might shoot us! I am an observant and curious cat. I like to have some time to warm up to new people, but after that we can be best friends! I like to play with chase toys and I enjoy cat treats! I have impeccable litter-box habits. I currently live with my brother, another unrelated male cat, and a large rabbit. I occasionally meet with the family dogs. I am a quiet cat, and I would surely love to have a family of my own!
Here’s a video of Root Beer and his brother Oliver.
Oliver - ADOPTION PENDING!
Hello! I am Oliver. I was born in March, 2024. I am neutered and have had all my shots. All I need now is a special person or family who wants me as much as I want them! I am in a foster home at the moment, and I don’t get all the attention I would really like. I would love to be in your lap or helping you with your projects as much as possible! I love cat treats and interesting games! My foster mother considers me a very well-balanced and sociable cat. My litter-box manners are perfect too, she says. Right now I live with my brother, another unrelated male cat, a large rabbit, and I occasionally interact with the family’s dogs. I get along with everybody. Go ahead and give SARG a call! I’m waiting for you!
Here’s a video of Oliver and his brother Root Beer.
Freddy - ADOPTION PENDING!
Meet Freddy, a roughly 7-year-old, orange Maine coon mix. He is playful, cuddly and always wants to be near his people. In his foster home, he gets along well with all the other foster cats. We have never seen him interact with a dog, so we don’t know how he handles other types of pets. Freddy's favorite toy is a string fishing toy. He enjoys playing with his family or cat friends and wants to be at the party. At night he enjoys being curled up on someone’s lap, purring and kneading. Freddy is a super biscuit-maker and he makes the sweetest sounds, little tiny mews when he is happy. Freddy came to SARG after Coach Saunders's passing earlier this year. He was well loved and is now seeking another family to share his love.
Here’s a video of Freddy in action!
Eleanor Rigby- ADOPTED!
Eleanor Rigby is the perfect little lady until one of the other kittens jumps on her. Then she’s in the middle of the fray. She’s a gray-and-white tabby with the cutest little white blob on the end of her tail. It looks like she dipped it in white paint. The white tip must be related to her being a gymnast. She can climb up the handles of a set of drawers in the kitchen. She hasn’t figured out yet how to go all the way to the counter top but that’s probably just a matter of time. Beneath the calm demeanor beats the heart of an adventurer.
Sgt Pepper - ADOPTED!
Sgt Pepper is a “What ya' doing? Can I help?” cat. This white-with-gray-tabby-patches cat came into his foster home, took one look around, and decided he was in charge. He climbs up into his foster mom's lap and then talks up a storm. She thinks he’s informing her about what all of the other cats are doing and making suggestions about how he thinks she should deal with it.
Morticai Stilton - ADOPTED!
Morticai does especially well with Victoria, the foster family’s dog. He loves to run and play then crash in your lap when he's he's done. He's the only male of his litter. He was born around the first week or two of February, 2024, so is 11 months old as of January, 2025.
Mr. Smudge - ADOPTED!
If you are interested in adopting a beautiful, two-year-old Maine coon mix who wants nothing more than to be near you, than Mr. Smudge is the cat for you. This gorgeous, affectionate, long-haired kitty with stunning markings gets along with other cats, is not intimidated by dogs and is great about using the litter box. A perfect addition to your family.
Goldie - ADOPTION PENDING!
Lap cat alert! Goldie is this four-year-old, beautiful cat's name, since she is a rare example of a female orange kitty, and most orange cats are male. Goldie is super affectionate with humans, but because she is scared of the foster family's dog and even a little intimidated by their cat, she would probably do best as an only cat in a quiet home. Goldie is totally litter-box trained, and if you are looking for a lap cat, she is the cat for you! Just check out those striking green eyes and gorgeous orange coat, the perfect complementary color combination on the color wheel. For more information on this fetching feline, contact SARG, and help find this sweet cat her furever home.
Havarti Patel - ADOPTED!
Havarti Patel is the adventurous one who is always first to explore. Her coloring is gorgeous—she's a dilute tortoiseshell. She loves to cuddle and get attention. She was born around the first week or two of February, 2024, so is 11 months old as of January, 2025.
Gouda — ADOPTED!
Gouda's favorite thing is to do zoomies and chase her Momma around the house (or be chased). She is all about playing and is always on the go. She was born around the first week or two of February, 2024, so is 11 months old as of January, 2025.
Ringo - ADOPTED!
Ringo, a gray-and-white tabby, is a purr machine. Pick him up and hold him against you, and you are rewarded with loud purrs. But don’t let that fool you – he’s always ready to wrestle with the other kittens. No sitting still for him. The foster mom’s daughter was visiting from the west coast for Thanksgiving and fell instantly in love with him the minute she saw him. He would have flown home with her had it not been for the 3½-year-old daughter. She realized she couldn’t deal with “the kid” and “the kitten” on the plane.
Arya - ADOPTION PENDING!
Arya is still very young. The vets estimated that she's probably around 8 or 9 months. She was abandoned by her previous owners in a secluded wooded area either while she was pregnant or after she had her 6 babies. A kind construction worker ran across her and her 2-week-old babies while he was at his work site. He refused to leave them out there to die in the 90+ temperatures, so he put them in a crate and had them in a Waffle House, trying to find a home for them. A friend of their foster mom took them and brought them to her. Arya has been so sweet and has never swatted at us or even hissed when we picked up her babies. She's been an excellent mommy and was always so attentive when one of her babies cried. She loves to play and cuddle. She really enjoys feather toys! She has had a rough start in life and so deserves to have a loving family.
Toothless - ADOPTED!
Toothless is one of the sweetest, most easy-going kittens his foster mom has ever fostered. He is approximately 5 months old (Nov. 1st 2024) and way bigger than his age would imply, weighing in at about 7 pounds. Toothless is a Maine coon mix, with his big eyes and beautiful long fur. He is going to be one big kitty. He has a fluffy tail that he loves to wag back and forth in big swaths, rubbing on people and other kitties.
Toothless was given this name because of his resemblance to the Dragon in “How to Train Your Dragon,” as well as because he had some dental problems that have been taken care of by the wonderful team at UT Veterinary Hospital. Toothless actually had a couple extra teeth and one tooth that stuck out at a weird angle, giving a snaggle-tooth appearance. Those teeth have been removed, and he has recovered well.
Toothless is a snuggler and loves to be held. Each night after dinner, he wants to sit down and cuddle on the couch while his foster mom watches TV. When you pick him up, he is like a noodle, going limp in your hands, and he starts purring right away. When it’s time for bed, he is a great sleeper, sometimes sleeping at the end of the bed, and sometimes curling up on your chest--all the while purring. Maybe you have the perfect lap for Toothless to curl up in?
Amber - ADOPTED!
Amber is an orange-and-white tabby kitten who is a ball of energy. He’s not intimidated at all by the seventeen-pound male, ginger cat, Walker, another SARG foster. Poor Walker doesn’t know what to think about this little guy, who is forever sneaking up on him and pouncing. Amber is constantly playing or play-fighting with the other two kittens in his foster home. He loves to be loved on, but not for long -- after all, he has all sorts of important things to do. He’s about 10 weeks old, as of October 22.
Jade - ADOPTED!
An adorable gray-and-white tabby kitten, Jade is playful and energetic. She is constantly on the move, playing with toys, exploring, or fighting with the other two kittens in her foster home. Then, worn out by her activities, she plops down and takes a nap. She loves to be loved on, but not for long -- she has to get down because she has important things to do. She’s about 10 weeks old, as of October 22.
Onyx - ADOPTED!
A SARG volunteer found Onyx, who had been abandoned by her mother. A SARG foster bottle-fed her until she could eat solid food. Her first furry friend was Ralphie, a Cavalier KIng Charles Spaniel. She’s a fearless kitten who rules the 17-pound, ginger male kitty in her foster home. As of October 22, she’s about 9 weeks old. She spends her day running, jumping, playing, or sleeping. She loves to be loved on, but not for long -- she has to get down because she has important things to do. She can sit on her hind legs like a meerkat.
