When looking for a new feline friend, choosing to adopt, not shop makes a life-saving difference. Shelters, rescues and sanctuaries like ours are overflowing with cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities—each one deserving of a loving home. By adopting, you’re not only giving a cat a second chance at life, but you’re also helping to reduce the number of homeless animals in your community. Many shelter cats are already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and even microchipped, making adoption a responsible and cost-effective choice.
Unlike pet stores or breeders, where cats are often bred for profit without regard for overpopulation or health issues, adopting supports ethical animal welfare efforts. Plus, rescue cats are incredibly grateful companions, bringing endless love and joy into their new homes. Whether you're looking for a playful kitten, a mellow senior, or a bonded pair, adoption offers a chance to change a cat’s life—and enrich your own.
Many of the cats who find shelter at our Brownsville sanctuary are feral, and not ideal for living with families indoors. However, some of our furry friends are kittens, or older cats who used to live indoors, are younger and more domesticated, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find permanent new homes! Please send an email to catpeoplemiami@gmail.com if you are interested in providing a forever home to one of our sanctuary cats. A $45 tax-deductible donation to our sanctuary, reference, and signed agreement to provide photos of the adopted cat alive and well in your happy, healthy environment will be required.
TEDDY, aka "Neckzilla" 4 years old
Meet "Teddy" aka Neckzilla. He gets his name from being as sweet and cuddly as a teddy bear, despite being shaped like a domineering bodybuilder! Colombian IFBB Elite Pro Rubiel Mosquera, aka Neckzilla, has the thickest and biggest neck in bodybuilding, so we couldn't think of a better nickname for this furry powerhouse.
We believe Teddy used to be an indoor cat before finding his way to our sanctuary, but we have tried to locate his previous owners with no luck! He loves meals indoors and lounging on patio furniture. Could he be the cool cat to complete your family? Contact us for more information on adopting Teddy.
MR. PURRS, 3 years old
Mr. Purrs is a regular at our Brownsville cat sanctuary, as we've nursed the handsome devil back to health many times following his misadventures in courtship. He is now neutered, vaccinated, and in great health!
Mr. Purrs loves to play and be petted, and is one of the most loyal cats we've ever met. Contact us using the information in our footer for more details on how to welcome Mr. Purrs into your forever home!
SYLVIA, 3 years old
Sylvia is a small-framed, friendly tuxedo cat who my neighbor found afraid and alone hiding underneath a car when she was just a kitten. She had been abandoned by her mother, so my neighbor, a fellow animal lover, took her in and bottle fed her goat milk (the best milk for kittens and cats who can't feed from their mothers) until she was old enough for cat food. Unfortunately, my neighbor was already caring for three dogs, so she begged me to take her in at the sanctuary, and has since moved away.
Sylvia loves to cuddle up in your lap, or curl around your feet, until she finds a comfy place to rest. She is very playful, enjoys catnip and likes to play hide and seek. She likes indoors and out. Is Sylvia the cat for you?
KITTY, 5 years old
Kitty is a cutie with the largest, most expressive eyes you'll ever find on a cat! Her fur pattern is a colorful mix of grey, black and copper circles. She is two years old and very polite: If you say good morning, she will happily greet you back. Kitty is friendly, fearless and enjoys being pet.
She started visiting the sanctuary when she was a kitten and has a healthy appetite. Her charms have brought her a fair amount of success in soliciting meals from multiple low-income caregivers in the neighborhood, but what she really needs is a stable family she can call her own. She loves indoors and out.
ANGEL, ~10 years old
Angel is a sweetheart which is how she earned her name. She is the least fussy cat you could ever meet and quite friendly. She enjoys feeding time, a good pet down, and curling up on a soft bed, couch or patio chair for a long nap. Angel is a quiet cat, her voice is barely above a whisper these days, but she knows how to get her point across: a raspy meow means I'm ready to eat! A gentle graze of your leg means she's ready for a rub down.
Angel lost her tail many years before she joined the sanctuary--a well-meaning caregiver tried to care for her when she noticed Angel's tail was infected. Unfortunately, the caregiver didn't know that applying hydrogen peroxide would further damage Angel's infected tissue, and cause the tail to fall off completely. (***Please note: alcohol and hydrogen peroxide can damage the tissue of cats and dogs and delay their healing. It's better to use a mild antiseptic solution like chlorhexidine diacetate or povidone-iodine.)
Would Angel help make your house a home? Send us an email to catpeoplemiami@gmail.com.
