These sweet silly boys can't wait to chase a laser pointer, play with toys, and curl up to cuddle in their forever homes.

They are waiting so patiently. They are good with other cats, with dogs, and children of all ages.

If you are interested in adopting one of these sweet black kitties please contact us and inquire about ghoul or spider!

Mr. Shy boy - Spider.
There are often posts of brother or him and brother. That's cause he is a bit shy and has taken time to warm up to asking for pets. But recently, he has been coming up and spending more time during the day with us all. Getting more comfortable and approaching for pets himself.

While he is shy and takes time to warm up do not dismiss him from your consideration. He LOVES all the animals in the house and loves human attention. He is VERY tolerant of his foster brother Kai, resident cat, grooming him and pushing him around lovingly.

Fill out our adoption form of you're interested in one or both boys!

Getting more and more confident by the day. They love to play with each other and the other cats, cuddling, eating, and watch animals out the window from the cat tree. Being able to see the FULL backyard from the 3-point windows is a BIG win in their minds. Constant entertainment for them.

These two are still looking for their forever homes. They are so sweet and curious. If you are interested please fill out the adoption application and we will get back with you 😊

Have you ever tried to get pictures of a black cat ( or any dark colored animal for that fact?!) at night? Because it was not working well for us. Especially when we are trying to get good photos to help get them a home?!

This sweet little boy is such a lover. Him (ghoul) and spider have started to get more confident in being upstairs in the last couple weeks.

Ghoul took the lead from the other animals after he saw they could get up on this big bed thing. He realized very quickly he liked the place and could get constant attention. Enjoy the pictures and videos of him being Mr. Lover boy.

Wishing everyone and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays.

Stay safe and warm everyone ♥️

These kitties are ALL about the tube treats they got for Christmas. They are so sweet and Ghoul is a HUGE fan of tube treats. Fan level: instant besties if you offer one.

Christmas time was a great desensitizing activity for these guys. From all the pre-christmas preparations and noises of wrapping gifts to Christmas Day of ripping paper, toy noises, squeals, and more. They totally rocked the investigating and over coming scary things to tolerate them (even if from a distance, slow and steady wins the race in desensitization and tolerating).

To provide full transparency of costs in which your donations will contribute to covering. Besides basic necessities of food, litter, and vaccinations (currently UTD on all vaccines).

With spider and ghoul getting older comes the necessity of neutering them to stop the cycle of strays adding to the overpopulation. On top of the neuter they will get microchipped as a prevention for any potential future incidents. There will always be a way for them to find their way back home 🥰

We were recommended to this vet as one of the low cost vets to use by some of the rescues in our network that is within a reasonable distance to us.

The total cost comes out to $247 for neuter and microchip of the two of them. This is our current donation goal and prioritization of donations. We are aiming for the Jan 29th neuter date. Gives us a little over a month. This time of year money can be tight with holidays, but any little bit you can give helps us get that much closer to being able to cover their neuter costs.

A little catch up post what the OG litter that started this all is up to. We live trapped them in our backyard. 🥰 They are approximately 8 months now.

This litter didn't have a theme to their names like the current one does. Based on the first picture (left to right) we called them: Donut (named her based off how I pictured a cat that was part of a book I was reading at the time appeared), Minnie (looks exactly like one of my husband's parents cat Minnie), Kitten/kitty (? I don't think we actually ever gave him a temp name), and pretzel ( looks exactly like my husband's parents second cat).

Second picture is previously kitten/kitty who we officially named Mordikaiser. Kai or Mordi for short. He stayed with us. My husband and son chose him and Kai chose them. So he became a permanent resident in the house. He is a HUGE love bug and shadow. He also believes he is the only present we need this year.

Third picture is previously Minnie (full tabby) and pretzels. They went to the same house with friends of ours. Minnie is now Vivi and Pretzel kept his name! I hear they are up to constant kitten mischief and get along well with the existing cat and dog that were in residence.

Last picture is previously Donut, now named Ska. She has an older kitty sister who they are learning to play together well. She is also spoiled by her 3 human kids. She is also a huge love and snuggle bug.

I have heard all have forgotten where they started as feral kittens (which yayy! But also hilarious) to being the most domesticated cats ever. Overall they are doing wonderful and thriving with their families. 🥰

As many know I (Brittany, founder of Rough and Tumble Kennels) have a huge passion for helping all living things. I have always known the stray cat populations have been out of control. So when the first litter showed up in our backyard, we had to help. When the SECOND litter arrived at my In-laws, I really started to get a clearer idea about the help that was needed in our areas. On top of a few additional connections reaching out looking for help prior to starting our program, it gave us the final push to crate our TNR foundation.

Every donation helps for our type of programs. The physical and monetary, none of it goes to waste. For a litter of 4 kittens we go through 40lbs of litter every 2 weeks, a 12 lb bag in 2 weeks, 60 cans of wet food in 2 weeks. Getting them a clean bill of health from the vet and age appropriate vaccines. Sometime a spay/neuter pending age before adoption. In some cases getting medicine for the kittens. This last batch of kittens had 3 rounds of antibiotics before they got a clean bill of health. They had a gnarly URI (upper respiratory infection), a GI infection and an eye infection. Which took 3 rounds of different antibiotics to truly get over, this is highly due to the compromised immune system of being a stray.

We are a very small rescue and foundations starting, so our space is more limited than most. We have Spider and Ghoul still available for adoption. We would love for them to find their families for the holidays. That is our Christmas wish. If you don't have space for a special friend we understand times are hard. Any assistance to their care while they are with us will help and that is all we can ask for. Is help in caring for the helpless in anyway.

Adoption application, donation link, and Amazon wishlist can be found via our link tree.

Note: we do NOT deny helping adults or older strays, they just tend to be more difficult to capture so they sometimes don't receive help. Our testament is to help all we are notified of when we have space and funds to help.
