Cats in the Cradle, Inc. is a no-kill, all-volunteer, 501(3)© non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of feral, stray and special needs cats and kittens.

Currently we are in need of special homes for 5 kitties. These kitties are all very sweet and will make great fuzzy family members, but they do have special needs. Each of these kitties has tested positive for Feline Leukemia.


Feline Leukemia, is not a cancer, it's actually a virus that causes an immune system deficiancy. Cats with FeLV can live happy lives in the home of a caring person. It's estimated that 30% of cats who are infected will overcome the virus. Although a variety of treatments have been tried, presently there is no effective cure for Feline Leukemia. The cat should be supported with good nutrition and regular veterinary care at the first sign of any illness.

If you do not have any cats, or if you already have a cat who is FeLV positive, please consider adopting one (or two!) of these adorable kitties from our organization. They desperately need homes because our facility is small and as we have to keep them seperate from the other cats they will spend the rest of their lives in a cage if no one adopts them.

There would be no adoption fee for these kitties, you'd just need to fill out a little bit of paperwork (adoption application and agreement) and take your new family member(s) home!

Please email all inquiries to adoptions@catsinthecradlerescue.org.

Onto the kitties:
Domino, Felix and Juno are triplets born on a farm in TN. The family there loved them and the children played with them and held them all the time. They wanted them to have happy homes but could not keep them. They brought them to CITC so we could find them forever homes. These sweet playful siblings would be happy to stay together, or would be happy to each find seperate homes. They are very affectionate and will quickly become a part of your family.

Corrine is a beautiful tabby girl with right green eyes. She wants a home where she will be loved and have some room to play. Her life may be shorter than average due to FeLV, but that doesn't mean she has less love and energy to share with you now.

Demi is a loving kitty who had a hard beginning in life. She was found roaming the streets and then when she finally came to CITC and had a chance to find a happy loving home she tested positive for FeLV. Demi is a very friendly kitty who likes to be with people. She would be a bright spot in your life and you in hers if you gave her a home.
