My personality

My story

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

Meet Gwen! 🖤🤍

Gwen is a tuxedo kitten with a big heart and an even bigger personality—all packed into one tiny, adorable body. Rescued from animal control on a whim, this sweet girl is living proof that fate has perfect timing. She’s thriving in her foster home and now ready to find the forever family she deserves.

Gwen is a true social butterfly. She loves other cats, does wonderfully with kids, and even gets along great with dogs (yes, even the big ones!). Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or greeting you at the door like you’ve been gone for years, Gwen wants to be right in the middle of the action.

She’s also quite the little chatterbox. Gwen will happily meow at your feet to let you know she’d like some attention—as if she’s catching you up on all the important kitten news of the day. Her favorite toys? Easter egg tops that she bats across the floor like a pro. When the zoomies are over, you’ll usually find her curled up in her cat tree, recharging for her next adventure. And as a proud foodie, she’s always eager to sample any treats you’re offering.

What truly sets Gwen apart is her warmth. She greets everyone like an old friend and has a way of making you feel instantly at home. Her foster’s favorite thing? The way Gwen runs up to welcome you, full of love, excitement, and stories to tell.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly social kitten, Gwen is ready to fill your home with joy, laughter, and lots of purrs. 🐾

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
