Story
Chicken Nugget Meet Chicken Nugget, the tiny boss with a very big personality! This tough little cookie runs her foster home with confidence and has appointed herself Chief Supervisor of all feline activities. She loves other kitties—as long as they understand that they're her loyal minions. Every night, Chicken Nugget makes her rounds to check on all the foster cats and ensure everything is running according to her standards. During the day, she'll keep you entertained with her endless confidence and charm. If she brings you a toy, consider yourself officially summoned—it’s playtime, and she expects your full participation! While affection is definitely on her agenda, it happens on her terms. When she's ready, she'll happily snuggle up with her humans and remind you why she's impossible to resist. She also does wonderfully with the older cats in her foster home and isn't intimidated by anyone. If you're looking for a kitten with leadership skills, endless personality, and a heart of gold hidden beneath a bossy exterior, Chicken Nugget is ready to take charge of your family. Adoption fee is $200

Oaklen is a handsome tabby boy with the sweetest, most affectionate personality. This neutered male is full of playful energy and a curious, adventurous spirit—he loves to explore, climb, and be right in the middle of whatever you are doing. He is a total cuddle bug and has the cutest way of showing it—Oaklen loves to gently rub his face against yours for extra affection. It is his signature move, and it will melt your heart every time. Oaklen does wonderfully with young kids and gets along great with dogs, making him a perfect fit for a fun, active home. If you are looking for a playful little adventurer who also doubles as a professional snuggler, Oaklen is ready to be your new best friend. 💛

Hi, I'm Houston RC, a striking black and white tuxedo kitten with a whole lot of personality packed into my 5-month-old frame! 🐾 I'm already neutered and ready to bring adventure, mischief, and affection into your home — I'm the type who wants to explore every corner and then curl up with you for cuddles. My friends tell me I'm smart, playful, and genuinely friendly, with a gentle side that comes out when playtime winds down. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts kitten chaos and pure love, I'd love to meet you! ❤️ Come visit me and see if we're a purrfect match. 😸

Story
Oh, Jill!!! She and her sister Charity are twins--similar smudges on their faces and a smattering of cream on their little kitten bodies. All 4 kittens from this litter are exceptional. They are always busy, always curious and always loving. They and their mother Felicia were dumped outside a vet's office and GDR + Kittens took them in. Felicia brought them up with the best work ethic and also taught them manners and kindness. You couldn't ask for a better companion! Let us know if you would like to meet one or two or all!!!!

Story
Lucretia This sweet little girl has already overcome a lot. When she was born, her leg became tangled in the umbilical cords of her siblings. Sadly, the injury was severe and her leg could not be saved. But losing a leg hasn’t slowed this little girl down! She has healed beautifully and shows just how much fun life can be on three legs. She is a happy, loving, and resilient kitten who doesn’t know that she’s supposed to be different. She plays, explores, cuddles, and does all the normal kitten things—just with a little extra determination. Adoption fee is $200.
