We hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We have all been through so much this year but what we are most thankful for is that everyone took time to come together to help the cats and kittens of House of Misfits. Whether you have been a donor, a follower and sharer, a foster, a volunteer, or a part of our vet team, we are thankful for all of you. Without each and every one of you putting in the time, effort, and resources we would not have been able to save as many lives as we have. As we look to the holiday season we know that we will be faced with more animals that need help, but we know that with everyone by our sides we will be able to do some good. ❤️
We just completed what was likely our last TNR project of the year! One of our volunteers works at a state facility and found out about a colony of cats that needed TNR. We went last week and caught 9 cats and kittens in all.
8 cats and older kittens, 6 females and 2 males, were spayed/neutered, received vaccines, deworming, and microchips. They were released back to their area after recovering from their surgeries. We provided food to their feeder and we'll be back with shelters for them to help keep them warm this winter. If you'd like to help donate towards their vet bills or shelter build, visit https://www.houseofmisfitsrescue.org/monetary
Among the 9 trapped, little Walnut triggered a trap all on his own. He's a "big boy" and is eating and drinking all on his own. However, he needs a long term foster to continue to socialize him and finish up vetting. If you're interested in learning more about fostering, fill out the questionnaire at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TlDOAh3ZFr6ettBQpza6GU4oUhyKwCMaNIg82aS-fuc/viewform?chromeless=1&edit_requested=true
Former momma looking for her forever home!
Maria came to us from a local animal control with her babies, originally found outside in a shed with her babies. She was an amazing momma and protected her and her babies from any potential threats. This sassy lady has now graduated from motherhood and has been focusing on taking care of herself. Her fur and body have gone through a huge glow up and she's an even more stunning cat than she originally was. Due to her used to protecting herself and her babies, she's not a fan of other animals and will need to be the Queen of your household.
She LOVES to play and can sometimes give you some love nips, but she is very food motivated so she'll be quick to continue to train her behavior. She also loves her person, and will love to be around you when you're home. If you're looking for a playful single cat, Maria is your girl! Apply today!

We want you to meet the newest addition to HoM! We've been slowing down and not really taking in new cats, but when we saw this guy, we knew we needed to help him.
He was found, likely dumped, in a rural area with few houses. Luckily he found the right home who was determined to help him.
For being a kitten, he's in pretty good shape. However he's missing almost all of his bottom lip and has severe gum disease and infection going on. We know he'll need a dental to look in his mouth further to determine if we can treat him at our regular vet or if he'll need a specialist. Naturally his treatment won't be cheap but that's the life of a misfit!
If you can donate even $5 to his care, it would be much appreciated! He also doesn't have a name yet, so drop your name suggestions below!

Baby Phoenix is getting bigger and got her first round of bloodwork and another vet checkup today ❤️ her mobility is still improving and is 100% still a love!
This beautiful momma is going to go fast! Neko is so super sweet, loves pets and all the people around her. She hasn’t been too fond of the resident cats in her foster home but that’s very common when a momma is protecting her babies. She doesn’t mind the doggie though. But again she needs all the peoples! All of them. Cause they are all here to pet her! She is going to be the best TV watching partner and bed warmer.

Hey there! We're Mrs Hudson and Lestrade. We are part of a litter of kittens (and a wonderful momma) who were all trapped by a kind lady. While our momma is super friendly, we're all a little more shy in our own ways. Our foster momma describes Mrs. Hudson as adorable but slightly shy and Lestrade as a playful pack member. We LOVE to cuddle with each other and foster sibling Jessie. Lestrade is a little more hands on playful than Mrs. Hudson, but both of us enjoy mice and crinkle balls. We balance each other out nicely! To read more about us and to apply, click the links below!

Please note that kittens need to be adopted in pairs or to a home with an existing playful animal. This is to prevent what is commonly referred to as "Single Kitten Syndrome." If you are unable to provide this situation, please consider adopting a young/adult cat who has already gone through this socialization period and is able to be by themselves.

As we head into the holiday season, consider purchasing an item or two from one of our wishlists to help support our group of Misfits! We wanted to highlight two of our long termers, Rajah and Kal-El, who are looking for some special food for their misc skin/GI issues. We also desperately need litter! Needless to say, anything purchased from our wishlists will get used ❤️

Cheryl Blossom and Veronica Lodge got adopted last night, but we still have two 6 month kittens, Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper, available for adoption!
These two are a dynamic duo! Betty is such a snuggle kitty. Betty loves to climb all over you, get cozy and purr like crazy. She is so sweet and shows her affection with love bites on your fingertips and finding the corner of your phone to rub and bite at to remind you she's still there.
Archie is the cat of all cats. Independent, super playful, very curious, sometimes mischievous, and very present in the day to day busy house. He can hold his own with his foster's dogs and cats. He will keep you on your toes!

We were contacted about these two beauties looking for a new forever home. Their parents are going through a divorce and neither party wants to keep them. We're looking for a foster or foster to adopt for them to help them get their second chance!
What we know:
- Purebred Ragdolls
- 3 and 4 years old females
- Sisters from the same breeder (who doesn't want them back)
- Good with kids and dogs (likely good with cats)
If you're interested in learning more about them and how to apply, send us a message!

A mother and son duo available for adoption together or separately, but let's be honest, they're adorable together!
Rosalind and Thistle came to us with two other kittens from one of our local animal control facilities. They were found outside and were a little hissy at first. Their foster worked their magic and now these babies are thriving! Rosalind is extremely outgoing and loving while Thistle is a little more reserved with people he doesn't know. Together, the perfect combo!
To learn more about their personalities and put in an application, visit the link in our bio!
