Story
Honey Suckle Male Approximately 5 months   Kittens will receive two rounds of FVRCP before adoption. If a spay/neuter appt is scheduled, it is the adopter’s responsibility to keep said appt. If none scheduled, adopter must reach out to rescue when kitten is 4 months old to schedule.   Georgetown, DE   Great with dogs Loves to cuddle with his siblings and interested in our resident cats (if they would give him the time of day anyway) We strongly recommend kittens being adopted into homes with other cats/kittens. Solo kitten adoptions where they are the only pet in the home will be discouraged.   About Me: I am a very typical kitten - I love to go hard and play hard, am very curious, but I also LOVE to cuddle and snuggle up and purr. So if you are looking for the best of both worlds - playful and lovable - I am your guy!   Head to our website to fill out an application for Honey Suckle   https://purrfectpawsde.my.canva.site/prr-website/adoptables ##2852708##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Meet Benny! Benny is a 6‑month‑old little firecracker of fun and love, rescued from the same North Carolina shelter as his brother Henry and just as ready to steal your heart. He’s full of confidence, curiosity, and goofy charm, trotting around with his striking tabby markings and that fluffy tail swishing proudly behind him. Benny is the kind of kitten who makes friends instantly—cats, dogs, kids, adults, he loves them all and assumes they love him right back. He’s an explorer, a toy chaser, and a fearless adventurer who wants to be part of everything happening in the home. And when he’s done showing off his playful side, Benny melts into a warm, purring cuddle puddle, happy to snuggle close and soak up affection. With his perfect blend of spunk, sweetness, and standout good looks, Benny will bring nonstop joy to any family lucky enough to welcome him. This cat is neutered, microchipped, up to date on distemper and rabies vaccinations, dewormings, tested negative for FIV/Felv, is on flea/tick preventative and ear mite preventative.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Meet Henry! Henry is a 6‑month‑old bundle of spunk and sweetness, rescued from a shelter in North Carolina and already winning hearts everywhere he goes. This silly, curious boy is super outgoing and absolutely loves playing with the dog in his foster home—he thinks it’s the best game in the world. Henry is wonderfully friendly with cats, humans, and kids, greeting everyone like they’re his new best friend. He has beautiful, unique tabby markings and a fluffy tail taht bounces behind him as he explores every corner of the house. He's a toy chaser and a brave little adventurer, but when the day winds down, he becomes a total cuddler. He slept in bed with his foster mom every night in NC, happily snuggled up and purring himself to sleep. With his perfect mix of playful energy and cozy affection, Henry will make a joyful, loving addition to any home. This cat is neutered, microchipped, up to date on distemper and rabies vaccinations, dewormings, tested negative for FIV/Felv, is on flea/tick preventative and ear mite preventative.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.    Dr. Moore is a 5‑year‑old orange and white gentle giant whose world changed overnight. When his beloved owner passed away, he suddenly found himself without the home and routine he knew so well. This big, beautiful boy has been trying to understand this new chapter, moving slowly and carefully as he adjusts. Even in his grief, his sweetness is unmistakable. He’s wonderfully polite with the other foster cats, just as he was in his previous home, and he allows us to pet him and pick him up even though he's only known us for a short time. At his previous home, he would confidently run to greet you at the door and tell you about his day. He was very friendly and affectionate. Right now, he is a heartbroken cat learning how to feel safe again. What he needs most is an adopter who can offer patience, kindness, and a steady presence to help him rediscover the warm, confident, affectionate companion he used to be. With love and understanding, Dr. Moore will absolutely blossom. This cat is neutered, microchipped, up to date on distemper and rabies vaccinations, dewormings, tested negative for FIV/Felv, is on flea/tick preventative and ear mite preventative.
