Hi there! My name is Tempest, and I’m an adorable tabby-and-white domestic shorthair girl with the cutest freckle on my nose and a big heart, an even bigger purr, and so much love to give. Let me tell you a little about myself! 🌿🐾
I came from a colony where a kind woman lovingly cared for my feline friends and me. When she reached out to Billy the Kidden Rescue, my life changed for the better—and now I’m proud to say I’m officially ready to find my forever home.
I’m a very friendly girl who enjoys both wet and dry food. Right now, I’m happily munching on Fancy Feast Chicken Gravy Lovers and Purina ONE Chicken Kitten. But honestly? My absolute favorite thing in the world is attention. The moment I see you, my purr motor starts right up and I’m ready for pets! I love chin scratches, head nudges, and being right by your side. 😊 One of my favorite pastimes is curling up in bed with my human foster moms.
I’m about 8 months old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines. I’ve loved my time with my wonderful foster moms, but I’m more than ready to start the next chapter of my life in a home of my very own.
I get along well with other cats and would be thrilled to have a feline friend. I’m still learning how I feel about kids and other animals, but with slow, proper introductions, I’m confident I’ll adjust just fine.

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:
