About Allie

Allie came in from the outdoors and has truly taken to indoor life. She’s warmed up quickly, now playing and snuggling with her foster mom and her two brothers, Aaron and Alex. Allie loves spending time with people and seems to enjoy the company of other cats as well. She’s a young, playful tortoiseshell who appreciates a bit of attention and welcomes affection easily. Allie is scheduled to receive her complete vet work—including spay, core vaccinations, testing, dewormer, flea treatment, and a microchip—on February 27, 2026. Adopters are responsible for bringing her to that appointment or arranging another suitable date with the rescue. If you’re hoping for a friendly, social kitten to join your family, Allie fits the bill. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
