My story

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

🐾 Meet Butterbean 🐾
Gender: Female
Spay Status: Scheduled for Feb 23
Bonded Pair: YES — with Brownie 🤎 (They must go together!)
🎨 The Look
Butterbean is a gorgeous calico mix of white, brown, gray, and black — basically she looks like she was painted with all the best colors 🎨✨ Petite? Yes. Delicate? Absolutely not. This girl is tiny but mighty.
💖 Personality
If happiness had a sound… it would be Butterbean’s purr.
She purrs loudly and proudly like it’s her full-time job.
She is the perfect combo of zoomies + snuggles. One minute she’s exploring like a brave little explorer, the next she’s curled in your lap, cuddling her siblings and melting into you.
🎾 Favorite Things
Small balls she can proudly carry around like trophies
Wand toys (toys on a stick = BEST DAY EVER)
Pop-up cube hideouts
Iams kitten wet & dry food
Laps. Warm laps. Your lap specifically.
🐶 Friends & Family
Gets along with a Yorkie 🐕
Confident around older cats (even if they’re grumpy about kitten energy 😅)
Has been around a teen; young kids unknown
🚫 Not a Fan Of
The vacuum.
The enemy.
The loud floor monster.
🏡 Her Story
Butterbean and her siblings were found in the fall, tucked into a little dirt burrow they had made to stay safe. They were dirty… but unbelievably friendly. The kind of friendly that instantly steals your heart. There wasn’t even a discussion — fostering them was a done deal the moment they looked up at us 🥹
💬 Why You’ll Love Her
Don’t let her tiny size fool you — Butterbean is packed with energy, love, and personality. She’s the type of kitten who will play hard, love harder, and then fall asleep purring in your lap like you are her whole world.
And remember — she comes with her built-in best friend Brownie 🤎 Double the love, double the entertainment, double the snuggles.
Butterbean isn’t just a kitten — she’s a little adventure buddy with a motor that never quits 💕

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
