💞🐾 ADOPTABLE KITTENS!! 🐾💞

Looking for a new best friend? A professional biscuit maker? A tiny chaos gremlin who will steal your heart AND your favorite spot on the couch? 👀

Well, you’re in luck, because we have an absolutely ADORABLE lineup of kittens looking for their forever families! 😍

And the BEST part? They’re already spayed/neutered, fully vetted, and ready to go HOME! 🏡❤️

🌺 BLOOM — 3-month-old Calico Female

Bloom is a petite little princess who is SO photogenic that we’re pretty sure she belongs in an ASPCA commercial! 😍📸

But don’t let that sweet little face fool you… this girl comes with TWO very different settings:

💤 Cuddle Mode: A limp, floppy, sleepy little baby who melts into your arms, purring away like she doesn’t have a care in the world.

⚡ CHAOS MODE: Suddenly she’s zooming laps around the house like she just discovered she has LEGS for the first time!

There’s no in-between. 😂

Bloom also has a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), sometimes called wobbly kitten syndrome! Her case is incredibly mild, so most of the time you can barely tell! She might be a little clumsy, but CH isn’t painful or progressive, and it certainly doesn’t slow this little lady down!

She’s beautiful, affectionate, hilarious, and ready to wobble her way straight into your heart! 💕

🍄🧡 SPORE — 3-month-old Orange Male

Meet our little mushroom boy! 🍄

Spore is as ORANGE as orange can be, and we’re pretty sure he graduated at the top of his class from the prestigious University of Biscuit Making. 🎓🐾

This handsome little guy is the TOTAL package!

🧡 Cuddly? Absolutely.
🧡 Friendly? To everyone.
🧡 Expert biscuit maker? CERTIFIED.
🧡 Adorable? It’s honestly ridiculous.

Spore is sweet, affectionate, and endlessly lovable. He’s just waiting for someone to give him a lifetime supply of snuggles!

🩶 CINDER — 6-month-old Dilute Tortie Female

Cinder is beauty, cuddles, and CHAOS all wrapped into one adorable little package! 😍

This gorgeous girl absolutely LOVES attention and curling up with her favorite humans. But when playtime starts?

ALL SYSTEMS GO. 🚀

She’s the perfect combination of affectionate lap kitten and tiny household tornado. One minute she’s snuggled up beside you, and the next she’s zooming around the house like her tail is on fire. 😂

If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing AND keep your lap warm, Cinder is your girl! ❤️

🖤🤍 SMUDGE — 7-month-old Black & White Male

Sweet? ✅
Photogenic? ✅
Cuddly? ✅
Nonstop purr machine? ✅
Still somehow NOT ADOPTED?!

WE HAVE QUESTIONS. 😭

Smudge is one of those kittens who melts your heart the moment you meet him. He absolutely ADORES people and has been patiently waiting for someone to realize that he’s their new best friend!

And did we mention that Smudge is a HUNK?! 😍

This handsome boy is going to be a BIG cat, which means there’s going to be a WHOLE LOT of Smudge to love! More cat = more cuddles. It’s basic mathematics. 🧮❤️

✨ AND HERE’S THE BEST PART! ✨

SMUDGE’S ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SPONSORED! 🎉

A wonderful family who knows just how special this boy is has generously covered his adoption fee! That means when Smudge finds his forever family, he can go home with NO ADOPTION FEE! ❤️

Somebody PLEASE come scoop up this perfect boy!

🌿☠️ THE POISON PLANTS — 4 MONTHS OLD
SUMAC • OAK • IVY • FOXGLOVE • BELLADONNA

Don’t let their names scare you! These are some of the sweetest little poisonous plants you’ll ever meet! 😂🌱

These five adorable babies were rescued from underneath a shed surrounded by poison ivy when they were just TWO WEEKS OLD!

And their rescue couldn’t have come at a better time. Shortly afterward, severe storms rolled through the area, potentially flooding the tiny hiding place they had been calling home. 💔

Thankfully, these little sprouts were brought to safety and raised in loving foster homes!

Now they’re happy, healthy, playful, affectionate little kittens who have traded their dangerous outdoor beginnings for cozy blankets, full bellies, and endless love. ❤️

And they’re ready for the next chapter: FOREVER HOMES! 🏡

🖤 MAURICE — 5-month-old Tuxedo Male

Maurice has been raised in a loving foster home since the day he was born, and BOY does it show! 😍

This handsome little gentleman is the FULL kitten package:

🐾 Cuddly
🐾 Playful
🐾 Sweet
🐾 Ridiculously handsome
🐾 Professionally trained in being adorable

Maurice is ALL ATTENTION, ALL THE TIME!

Personal space? Never heard of her. 😂

This little guy LOVES climbing onto shoulders, because obviously that’s the optimal location for transmitting his purrs directly into your ears. 🔊❤️

He’s affectionate, outgoing, and determined to become your new best friend whether you’re ready for it or not!

Seriously, HOW has this handsome boy not been adopted yet?!

❄️ WINTER — 4-month-old Brown Tabby Female

Winter may have a chilly name, but this little lady is ready to warm your heart! ❤️

Just LOOK at that gorgeous coat! 😍 Her beautiful swirling brown tabby pattern makes her a tiny work of art!

And thankfully, her personality is just as lovely as her appearance!

Winter is sweet, cuddly, affectionate, and always ready for playtime. She’s the perfect combination of snuggly sweetheart and playful little adventurer!

If you’re looking for a beautiful little companion to brighten your days, Winter is ready to make herself right at home! 🏡💕

👑 PASSIONFRUIT — 6-month-old Calico Female

Passionfruit is not merely a calico.

Passionfruit is ALL CALICO. 👑

She wants affection… on HER terms.

She wants treats… on HER terms.

She wants to stare at you from across the room like you’ve personally disappointed her despite having done absolutely nothing wrong…

ALSO ON HER TERMS. 😂

Passionfruit is an independent little queen with BIG opinions, a whole lot of personality, and enough attitude to run a small corporation.

And honestly? She might become your cat’s best friend before she decides you’re worthy of her affection. 🐱❤️

But GOODNESS, is she cute!

This gorgeous girl is looking for a family who appreciates a strong, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants out of life.

And if you’re lucky, she might even let you pet her. 👑😂

🐾💕 HAPPY TAILS: SELENIUM & BORON! 💕🐾

We received the sweetest update from Selenium and Boron’s forever family! 🥹❤️

Now known as Lemon and Sully, these handsome boys are thriving and absolutely adored by their family and kiddos! 🥰💞

These two had such a rough start to life. We nearly lost them multiple times—first to a GI infection shortly after rescue, then to panleukopenia, and later to upper respiratory infections. 💔

But through it all, they remained two of the happiest, sweetest, most loving boys you could ever meet! 🥹❤️

After everything they’ve overcome, these boys deserve all the love in the world, and we’re so happy they’ve found exactly that!

Happy tails, Lemon and Sully! 🍋🐾💕

🌱🐾 MEET STEM! OUR WONDERFULLY WOBBLY BOY! 🐾🌱

Update: Pending Adoption!!

Stem is a very special little kitten with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), also known as Wobbly Kitten Syndrome! 💕

But don’t let his wobbles fool you—this boy has SO much love to give! 🥹❤️

Stem is genuinely one of the sweetest, most affectionate kittens you’ll ever meet! He LIVES for cuddles and greets his favorite humans with boundless excitement, adorable little flops, and the LOUDEST purr motor! 🥰

❤️ And there’s a reason he’s such a people-loving little guy! Stem was bottle-fed by his foster mom starting at just a few weeks old, meaning he grew up with humans as his primary caregivers! As a result, he is EXTREMELY people-oriented and absolutely adores human companionship. He doesn’t just enjoy attention—he actively seeks it out! If you’re looking for a kitten who thinks you’re the center of his universe, Stem is your boy! 🥹💕

🧠 So, what exactly is CH?

Cerebellar Hypoplasia is a developmental condition in which the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance, doesn’t develop properly.

This means Stem will always be a wobbly little guy, but here’s the important part: CH is not painful, is not progressive, and does not require medications or special treatments! ❤️

🐾 What does life with Stem look like?

Stem has moderate CH, meaning he can take a few steps before losing his balance and taking an adorable little tumble!

He just needs a few simple accommodations to help him navigate life safely:

🌱 Raised food and water dishes to make mealtimes easier.

🌱 Baby gates to keep him away from stairs and dangerous falls.

🌱 A litter box with a low entry and high sides to help him stay balanced while doing his business!

And that’s really it! Stem eats, drinks, plays, cuddles, and uses his litter box just like any other kitten. He just has his own special way of doing things! 🫶🏻

Despite his challenges, Stem approaches every single day with the happiest attitude and an incredible amount of love to share. His adorable antics, determination, and infectious personality will keep you smiling nonstop! 🥹💕

🩺 Stem is 3 months old and fully vetted!
✅ Neutered
✅ Combo tested
✅ Up to date on FVRCP vaccines
✅ Microchipped
✅ Dewormed
✅ Flea-treated

❤️ Stem isn’t looking for someone to feel sorry for him. He’s looking for someone to love him just the way he is!

And we promise, once you meet this wonderful little wobble boy, you’ll understand just how special he truly is. 🥹🐾

🌱 Could you be Stem’s forever family? 🌱

🐾 SIMON, KAYLEE, and RIVER — 4 -months-old
Simon is a polydactyl male! Kaylee and River are adorable girls!

Those ridiculously expressive little faces belong to our Firefly Litter—and these kids are EXTRA in every possible way.

Extra personality. Extra affection. And, most importantly… EXTRA TOE BEANS. 🫘🐾

That just means more toes for making biscuits!

These kittens LOVE people. They’ll cuddle, climb onto your shoulders, and shamelessly beg for affection. Personal space? Never heard of her.

🌸 BLOOM & STEM — 12 weeks old 🌸

These two little miracles have overcome SO much in their short lives! ❤️

Now? Healthy. Happy. Ridiculously cute. And ready for homes. ❤️

🌺 BLOOM — Calico Female

Bloom is a petite little princess who is SO photogenic that we’re pretty sure she belongs in an ASPCA commercial! 😍

She’s absolutely gorgeous, full of personality, and ready to bring a whole lot of love into someone’s family.

🌱 STEM — Black & White Male

Stem is one of our extra-special little babies! ❤️

Unfortunately, his severe illness caused some neurologic damage that left him a little wobbly. But don’t tell Stem that he’s different!

He runs, plays, uses his litter box, and does everything a normal kitten does. He just has a silly little walk and the occasional unexpected tumble!

His disability doesn’t stop him from enjoying life, and he’s just as deserving of a loving forever home as any other kitten.

Please ask us more about this special kiddo! ❤️

🍄🧡 MYCELIUM, SPORE & MOREL — 9-Week-Old Males
Meet our little mushroom boys! 🍄 These three adorable kiddos are as ORANGE as orange can be, and they are certified expert biscuit makers! 🧡🐾

🩶 CINDER — 6 month-old dilute tortie female
Cinder is beauty, cuddles, AND chaos wrapped into one adorable little package!

🌿 SUMAC, OAK, LAUREL, FOXGLOVE & BELLADONNA — 3 months old
These little Poison Plants were rescued from underneath a shed surrounded by poison ivy when they were just 2 weeks old! Had they stayed there, the storms that followed their rescue could have flooded their tiny hiding place.

Spring and Winter were wondering why they haven’t been chosen yet? They have mastered the head tilt, perfected their purrs and leg rubs, and are all around cutie patooties! What else can they do to get attention??

DM for an application! These two are fully vetted and ready for homes!

🍄 Welcome our newest additions—the Fungus Kittens! 🍄

Meet Mycelium, Truffle, Spore, Morel, and Enoki! 🐾❤️

These tiny mushrooms are the last litter born to the colony we’ve been working all summer to TNR! After months of trapping, fixing, and caring for the cats in this colony, getting these babies safely inside feels like the perfect way to bring this project one step closer to the finish line.

And seriously… could they BE any cuter?! 😭🍄

Unfortunately, when we finally trapped the last kitten, we quickly realized our little fungus-themed crew had taken their names a little too seriously… 😂

They have ringworm!

Despite the name, ringworm isn’t a worm at all—it’s a fungal skin infection. The fungus can be found in the environment, and young kittens are especially susceptible because their immune systems are still developing. It can cause itchy, scaly patches of hair loss and, while it is definitely an annoying and contagious little fungus, it is treatable! 💪

Our tiny fungus squad is already receiving treatment and making progress. For now, they’ll stay safely in our care while we evict their unwanted fungal roommates. 🧼🍄

Once they’re cleared, Mycelium, Truffle, Spore, Morel, and Enoki will be available for adoption! ❤️

So keep an eye out for updates, because these might just be the cutest little mushrooms you’ll ever meet. 🍄🐱❤️

💞Adoptable Kittens!! 💞

We are absolutely overflowing with adorable kittens looking for their forever families! ❤️

And the best part? They’re fixed, fully vetted, and ready to go home!

🐉 DRAGONFRUIT — 5-month-old flame-point Siamese male
This handsome boy is as pretty as they come, and the secret to his heart is simple: Churu. In fact, Dragonfruit would like it formally written into his adoption contract that Churus are a requirement. 😂

But his TRUE love? Dogs! Dragonfruit absolutely adores his doggie friends and would be thrilled to become your pup’s new tiny feline best friend. 🐶❤️🐱

🐾 BUDDY — 6-month-old tabby & white male
Buddy is our little miracle boy. ❤️ He lost both of his hind feet at birth after his umbilical cord became wrapped around them, and he was nearly euthanized twice within his first 24 hours of life.

But we knew Buddy deserved the chance to show everyone what he could do—and he has absolutely thrived.

He gets around wonderfully on his little stumps, uses his litter box like a champ, and lives life just like any other kitten. He just prefers to keep his adventures a little closer to the ground rather than jumping onto high surfaces. Most importantly, Buddy is an incredibly sweet, cuddly boy looking for someone who will love him exactly as he is. ❤️

🐾 SIMON, KAYLEE, WASH, and RIVER — 3-months-old
Simon and Wash are polydactyl males! Kaylee and River are adorable girls!

Those ridiculously expressive little faces belong to our Firefly Litter—and these boys are EXTRA in every possible way.

Extra personality. Extra affection. And, most importantly… EXTRA TOE BEANS. 🫘🐾

That just means more toes for making biscuits!

These kittens LOVE people. They’ll cuddle, climb onto your shoulders, and shamelessly beg for affection. Personal space? Never heard of her.

Wash lost his left eye to a severe infection, and will have it removed soon. He will be available after he’s recovered from surgery!

🌸 BLOOM — 10 weeks old calico female
This girl went through absolute h*ll and somehow came out the other side loving life more than ever.

She developed severe pneumonia at only 2 weeks old and was raised being bottle-fed while receiving oxygen support to keep her tiny body going, alongside her surviving littermates (both adopted!).

Now? Healthy. Happy. Ridiculously cute. And ready for a home. ❤️

Bloom is so photogenic that we’re not entirely convinced she’s real. Seriously, someone get this girl an ASPCA commercial.

She is a petite little princess with an absolutely precious personality, and she is ready to bring a whole lot of love into someone’s family. 👑

🩶 CINDER — 5 month-old dilute tortie female
Cinder is beauty, cuddles, AND chaos wrapped into one adorable little package!

She loves attention and curling up with her people, but when playtime starts, she is READY. She’s the perfect companion for someone who wants a loving lap kitten who can also zoom around the house like her tail is on fire. 😂

🌶️ CHILI — 6-month-old tuxedo male
Okay… we need someone to investigate whether Chili actually has bones.

His favorite activity is FLOPPING. Belly rubs? FLOP. Attention? FLOP. Pick him up? Suddenly you’re holding a completely limp ragdoll who has surrendered all responsibility for supporting his own body. 😂

This ridiculously affectionate little man loves people, loves attention, and would fit beautifully into just about any home.

🌿 SUMAC, IVY, LAUREL & BELLADONNA — 3 months old
These four little Poison Plants were rescued from underneath a shed surrounded by poison ivy when they were just 2 weeks old! Had they stayed there, the storms that followed their rescue could have flooded their tiny hiding place.

Instead, they grew up safe and loved in foster homes—and now they’re happy, playful, affectionate little kittens ready for families of their own! ❤️

Ivy, Belladonna & Laurel are girls, and Sumac is the lone boy of the bunch!

🖤 MAURICE — 4 months old tuxedo male
This cutie has been raised in a loving foster home since birth, and he is the full kitten package: cuddly, playful, sweet, and professionally trained in being adorable.

Maurice is all attention, all the time! He will melt your heart, and become your new best friend!

🍂 SPRING & WINTER — 3.5-month-old brown tabby male & female
These little tabbies are playful, sweet, and painfully precious. They love chasing toy mice, perching in windows, playing together, and generally spending their days being adorable little menaces.

Their mama, Summer, is also looking for a home! She is an extremely friendly young lady who did a wonderful job raising her babies and is more than ready to retire from motherhood and become somebody’s spoiled house cat. ❤️

👑 PASSIONFRUIT — 6-month-old calico female
Passionfruit is not merely a calico.

Passionfruit is ALL calico.

She wants affection… on her terms.
