My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Kenley!  I’m a quiet little mama who was living a rough life outside, likely for all of my 6 years!  Some people were able to get me and my kittens, and they brought me to BTKR to get spayed, and to see if I might be adoptable.  I was really shy at first, but turned out to be a very sweet girl!  When I got spayed, they discovered that I had a broken tooth (ouch!) and some other dental issues.  So, I had a big dental surgery to get the broken teeth removed, and the rest of my teeth cleaned, and I’m feeling SO much better!  Now I’m ready to begin the search for my forever family.  

I really like indoor life, and finally being safe and secure! I love interaction with people, and I have a sweet little purr when I’m enjoying pets and scritches.  I sometimes like being picked up and snuggled into a warm shoulder, as long as I’m comfortable enough with you and give you permission! I’m a quiet girl so I think I’ll do best in a quiet, calm home, without younger kids.  I get along all right with other cats, with proper introductions of course, though I think I would also be fine as an only cat.  I can get growly and hissy if other cats get near my food, so I’ll need to have my own eating spot to help me feel more secure if other kitties are in the home.  I’m not sure if I’ve ever been around dogs.

I like to have cozy spots to nap, LOTS of yummy food (I love wet food and broths!), and of course, your love and affection.  I haven’t really gotten much into playing yet, but I’ve shown some interest in toys I can bat around with my paws, so I hope we can try some different toys and maybe find ones I like!  I didn’t really have a lot of time to play while I was outside raising babies and trying to survive.  I hope we can meet soon!  I’m so excited to finally find my happily ever after!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application to learn a bit about the home our cats will be going to and the family's motivation for adoption and expectations about pet ownership. We also have an adoption contract, which includes a no declawing and indoor-only clause along with a vet promissory note that ensures you will continue with the medical care and spay/neuter if needed.

We DO NOT do any out of state adoptions except on the NC border on a case-by-case basis.

We require a donation of $120 for adoption of unaltered kittens with a PTV Contract. All kittens receive vaccine series and wormings as well as medical treatment as needed. The adopter is responsible for obtaining their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter if the kitten is not of age at the time of adoption. We can provide resources for low cost clinics that offer these services.

We ask a donation of $25 to adopt Career/barn cats.

We require a donation of at least $140 for adoption of Spayed/neutered cat.

Bonded pairs adoption donation is $200.

Sometimes we require rental checks or home inspections. We always have a Meet n Greet to make sure everyone gets along. We encourage bringing the whole family!

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce feral cat population in Hampton Roads by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens for adoption into loving forever homes. We are a VDACS registered 501c3 nonprofit, founded in 2014 with over 60 foster homes.

Our heart is in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return of ferals), where cats are fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and allowed to live out their lives without reproducing. We are advocates for advancing legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads. Our unique feral kitten socialization program has a 90% success rate in socializing feral-born kittens to become loving, in-home pets.

We are always seeking fosters, volunteers, transporters, and trappers to join our team!

We also appreciate donations! Find our most needed items
