🐾 Meet Desist — The Sweet, Sensitive Half of a Perfect Pair 🐾
Born 7/27 Desist is the softer, more thoughtful soul of this bonded duo — the kind of kitten who likes to observe first, then melt completely once he decides you’re safe (spoiler: that doesn’t take long).
While his brother Cease charges in confidently, Desist prefers to take in the room before making his move… and when he does? He commits fully. If his brother isn’t available for cuddles, Desist will launch himself straight into your lap with full-body enthusiasm — think teenager flopping dramatically onto the couch. Once settled, he wants all the love you’re willing to give.
🎯 Personality Highlights
Sweet, affectionate, and emotionally connected
Loves other cats and is great with kids
Likely dog-friendly with a slow, respectful introduction
Deeply bonded to his brother and to his people
🧸 Favorite Things
Toys: Anything with a pom-pom
Sleep Spots: Your lap is preferred… but a cat bed will do in emergencies
Food: All of it. No discrimination here. (Slow feeder required — food must be secured!)
😂 Adorable Quirks
Trills whenever something catches his attention
Whines softly as he falls asleep
Sometimes nurses on his brother for comfort — a truly tender little habit
💛 What Makes Him Special
Desist is incredibly affectionate and emotionally tuned-in. He doesn’t like being alone and will cry if separated from his people or feline friends. He thrives on companionship, closeness, and connection — making him an ideal match for a home where he won’t be left solo for long stretches.
🍽 Currently Eating
Purina Pro Plan Kitten dry food
Fancy Feast pâté wet food
📖 His Story
Desist and Cease were born safe and warm thanks to a kind stranger who took in their mama. Mama and the rest of the litter have found homes — now it’s time for these two inseparable brothers to find theirs together. Whether wrestling, playing, or curled up in a cozy heap, they are never far apart.
If you’re searching for the perfect pair — affectionate, playful, deeply bonded, and endlessly loving — Desist and Cease are ready to steal your heart and your lap. 💕

More about this rescue
🐾 Our Mission at Billy the Kidden Rescue 🐾
Billy the Kidden Rescue is a VDACS-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2014 and supported by a network of over 60 active foster homes across Hampton Roads.
Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce the feral cat population in our community by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens—transforming them into loving, adoptable pets and placing them in safe, forever homes.
💙 Our Heart is in TNR
We are proud advocates of TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return)—the humane, effective method of managing community cats. Through this program, feral cats are:
✔️ Trapped
✔️ Neutered or Spayed
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Ear-Tipped (as a universal sign they've been fixed)
✔️ Returned to live safely in their outdoor colonies without contributing to overpopulation.
We are actively working to promote legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads.
🐱 Feral Kitten Socialization
Our feral kitten socialization program is one of a kind—with a 90% success rate in helping feral-born kittens become affectionate, in-home pets. Through experienced fostering, patience, and love, these kittens learn to trust, play, and thrive indoors.
💪 Get Involved!
We’re always looking for passionate animal lovers to join our team. Help us make a difference by becoming a:
Foster
Volunteer
Transporter
TNR Trapper
🎁 Support Our Work
Donations keep our rescue running, and we’re always in need of supplies! Check out our wish lists to see what’s needed most:
