Meet Pumpkin! Described as the himbo of the cat world, dumb as a box of rocks, and stubborn as they come; Pumpkin was originally completely feral, believe it or not. He was TNR'ed in 2021 along with his mom and siblings, and slowly started to warm up to us in December 2023, well, actually it was quite sudden. One day he was running away at the sight of me, next he was purring and covering me in drool, did i mention he's a drooler? He's mostly got it under control now, but it used to be a real problem. In January of 2025 right before we got a big freeze, we finally pulled him inside, he's spent the last 4 months getting used to indoor life, discovering the joy of being a lap cat, begging for human food, covering everything i own in drool, and snuggling in bed with people he loves and trusts. He has truly blossomed into a whole new cat. Because this has been a big adjustment for him, Pumpkin does not yet have updated vaccines, should anyone be interested in adopting the large (no seriously he's 11 and a half pounds, dude is ginormous, not like overweight big, just a large cat.) boy, then obviously we would make getting those updated more of a priority, as of now, indoor living is still pretty new, so we're starting with carrier training and nail trims before vet visits! Some of his favorite activities are: weaving in between your legs making it very difficult to walk, shoving his way into your lap regardless of if you want him there or not, weighing down the blanket at night and being a bed hog, and, recently, chasing toy springs around the house.
All silliness aside, Pumpkin is truly a great cat, he's a big ol teddy bear of a cat and i could see him being a great addition to any home.

More about this rescue
Hi! My name is Ali and I started The Kitten Wonderland in August of 2018 at 17 years old. I have always loved cats, and my very first cat was from a litter of orphaned bottle babies I helped a family member raise at 11 years old, if you come to visit you will certainly meet her, she loves to steal all the attention.
TKW started because of just one cat. In 2018 I had an friendly black cat who had kittens under our shed, as it turned out, she had been dumped by someone else in the neighborhood when they had to move. I spent so much time outside with her and her kittens, and when she became pregnant again I begged my mom to let me bring her in, and after what felt like ages, she agreed. Midnight had her kittens August 18th 2018, not even two weeks after the creation of the TKW Instagram account, and i quickly got caught up in everything cat rescue and fostering had to give me. I became a dedicated critical care and orphaned neonatal foster, and it has been a wild and fulfilling ride since then.
Originally based in Michigan, we relocated to Bardstown, KY in January of 2020. TKW is a small single person (Hi!) rescue run out of my residential address. If you are interested in any of the kitties we have for adoption and want to learn more, please email me at thekittenwonderland@gmail.com or put in an application at https://thekittenwonderland.paperform.co
