Calico kittens & cats in Burlington, Vermont

Meet Forrest (aka Gerbes!) Forrest—also known as Gerbes, Gerber Baby, or Gerbie: Fully Loaded—is a 2.5-year-old tuxedo charmer with classic good looks and a heart that’s just waiting to open up. He may be a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you—Forrest warms up quickly and turns into a total sweetheart once he feels safe. His absolute favorite things? Cheek scratches and butt scritches (yes, those are non-negotiable). With his adorable tuxedo coat and gentle, affectionate nature, Forrest is the kind of cat who will quietly steal your heart and then proudly demand pets once he’s settled in. He’d do best in a loving home that gives him a little patience at the start—and a lot of scratches thereafter. A family with older, respectable kids or an adult-only house is the best for him.

This adorable, tenderhearted guy is Virgil. He is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, but his pleading eyes seem kittenish. In contrast, he carries himself with a peaceful resilience of an old, wise soul. He does get the zoomies, he go bonkers for catnip kicker toys and he destroys silver vine chew sticks. Virgil's left eye was blinded because of an unfortunate event that happened when he was very young, but he feels no pain and it doesn't affect his behavior. He would probably coexist well with respectful kids and he does great with other cats as long as the resources are plentiful and he gets his share of human affection.

Clove is the baby of the crew. He was the last born, the tiniest of the bunch and the last to open his eyes, eat solid food and learn to climb. But he has grown leaps and bounds and is now extremely playful and loves to rough house with his siblings! His favorite things are plastic spring toys and he’ll happily carry one around in his mouth, growling a little at his siblings if they try to take it away and immediately bring it over to the stove or fridge to bat it under so he can help you retrieve it! He’s sweet as can be, loves to be carried and get head scratches. He has the best purr around. He is bonded with his brother Sorrell and would love to be adopted with him.
