My story

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

🐾 Meet Chip — The Shy Little Brother with the Sweetest Eyes 💚
Chip is a 4-month-old gray dilute tabby boy, smaller than his brother and possibly the runt — but what he lacks in size, he makes up for in quiet charm. This gentle little guy came from a hoarding situation and is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place.
Chip is bonded to his brother, Potato, who helps him feel brave and confident. These two are very attached and will loudly call out if they can’t find each other, so they must be adopted together. Their personalities balance each other perfectly — one outgoing, one shy — the ultimate “one for looking, one for snuggling” duo.
Chip gets along with other cats and actually seeks comfort and affection from his feline friends. With people, he’s more of a “look but don’t touch (yet)” kind of guy. He’s shy, sensitive, and startles with loud noises or sudden movement, but with patience and a calm home, he continues to blossom. Watching him build trust and feel safe is incredibly rewarding.
He loves spring toys, laser pointers, and of course his brother. His favorite place to sleep is tucked under furniture where he feels secure, or curled up beside Potato. One of his funniest quirks is pretending to resist being wrapped in a cozy “kitty burrito” — though deep down, we suspect he secretly enjoys the warmth.
Chip adores lickable treats and is currently eating Purina Kitten Chow and Friskies wet food.
His most striking feature is his soft green eyes — they perfectly match his gentle, thoughtful personality. Chip is a quiet, sensitive soul who will thrive in a calm, patient home with his brother by his side.
If you have a peaceful home and a heart for shy kittens who just need a little time and love, Chip and Potato will reward you with a beautiful bond and double the companionship. 🐾💞

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
