My story

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

🐾 Meet Potato — The Snuggly Sidekick with a Big Voice 💛
Potato is a 4-month-old brown tabico boy with medium fluffy fur and an even fluffier personality. This handsome little guy came from a hoarding situation, but you’d never know it from his loving, social nature. He’s full of affection, curiosity, and that classic kitten charm that makes you smile all day long.
Potato is bonded with his brother, Chip, and the two are very attached. If they can’t immediately find each other, they will loudly announce their concern to the entire household. Because of their close bond, they must be adopted together.
This sweet boy gets along wonderfully with other cats and kids. He hasn’t met dogs yet, but with slow introductions, he may adjust just fine.
Potato is a professional cuddler. His favorite place to sleep is in your arms or snuggled up with his brother. He loves being held, carried, and included in whatever you’re doing. In fact, if you’re cleaning the litter box, don’t be surprised if he leaps onto your back for a better view — he believes in active supervision.
He’s playful and energetic, especially when it comes to spring toys and laser pointers. After zooming around, he happily settles in for snuggles and will “talk” to you about his day. One of his most endearing features is his super soft underbelly, and he doesn’t mind gentle kisses on his sweet little head.
Potato isn’t a fan of car rides or being shut in a room by himself — he prefers company and freedom to explore.
He’s currently eating Purina Kitten Chow and Friskies wet food, and he absolutely loves lickable treats.
Potato is an affectionate, chatty, playful little shadow who just wants to be close to his people and his brother. If your home has room for two loving kittens who will fill it with cuddles, comedy, and constant companionship, Potato (and Chip!) are ready to move in. 🐾💕

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
