Story
Bonbon is a beautiful black panther who is looking for her forever home! Bonbon is blind, and you may wonder how she gets around. The answer is Bonbon gets around just like any cats with full vision! Blind cats are NOT considered special needs because they are so... normal. Bonbon knows exactly where things are. She is particularly excellent with the litter box and has not missed it once since she arrived at her foster home! And she deserves a bonus point for this because most of our (full vision) kittens often miss the box a few times before they are accustomed to their new place. Bonbon is super playful and full of love. She purrs the moment she hears someone approaching. Bonbon loves to be pet and held and spends most of her day wrestling with her foster siblings. We think Bonbon would make a perfect addition to any family! Bonbon will need to be adopted into a home with another cat. If you are looking for a pair of Waggytail kittens - note this in your application! Bonbon will do well with any of our adoptable kittens. Bonbon is up to date on shots, FeLV/FIV negative, dewormed, and microchipped. Scheduled for spay + enucleation on 7/7.  Please apply using the following instructions if you are interested in adopting one of our Waggytails: Visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the cat is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable cat, or final size of any of our adoptable kittens. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the cat into our rescue. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##2768752##

Story
Meet Lil Gray! At just ~10 weeks old and weighing a whopping 2.2 pounds, Lil Gray may be tiny, but his personality is anything but! This little guy was found all alone outside by one of our fosters, with no mom in sight. When they reached out to ask if we could help, the answer was an easy yes!  The first few weeks of Lil Gray's life weren't easy. He had to learn that people were kind, that a warm bed was better than the outdoors, and that he never had to worry about where his next meal would come from again. Understandably, Lil Gray was shy at first. But thanks to his incredible foster family, including fellow adoptable kitten Jane Doe, a resident cat, and three dogs, he has blossomed into a happy, confident, and incredibly social kitten. These days, he loves to exploring, playing with Jane Doe, making friends with everyone he meets, and, most of all, snuggling up with his foster mom. Cuddling with his foster human is easily the highlight of his day. Now healthy, thriving, and full of kitten curiosity, Lil Gray is ready for the one thing he hasn't found yet: a forever family to love him for the rest of his life! Please apply using the following instructions if you are interested in adopting one of our Waggytails: Visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal.

Story
It doesn't get better than Quill! Named for her resemblance to a hedgehog when she was found, this girl isn't even a little bit prickly. She loves you from the moment she looks at you, rolling over, purring, and making biscuits in the air. Quill is easygoing, entertaining, and loves to sleep on her foster at night. She looks at the world like everything is *just the most exciting, fascinating thing* yet she's also remarkably calm and well adjusted for a kitten. Quill was found in Crown Heights crying behind an air conditioner until a kind neighbor took pity on her. She was brought inside, slept for 2 days (her little body must have been so exhausted), and then blossomed back into a loving and social kitten. Quill was born in early April. She will be spayed in July. She's up to date on vaccines, free of fleas and parasites, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She must be adopted with another kitten, or into a home with a young, friendly, playful resident cat. To adopt this angel, please fill out the form on our Website: https://brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms/ Mention Quill as the cat, and Suse as the rescuer. June 29, 2026, 11:43 pm

Story
Orangino is an affectionate, playful, and social floof who can't wait to meet you! He also has the coolest markings! When we first met and held him, he introduced himself with purrs and immediate biscuits...and he's only gotten more loving since. His foster says "he's been perfect," telling us Orangino slept in bed with him from night one. He'll do best in a home where he can get a fair amount of playtime (like any kitten) and lots of love. He'll give it back in spades. Orangino came to us after his caretaker passed away. This boy got lucky that neighbors were looking out for him.  He was born in January 2026 and is neutered, vaccinated, free of fleas and parasites, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He must be adopted into a home with another kitten or young cat. We're happy to make a match! To apply to adopt, please fill our the form on our Website:  https://brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms Mention Orangino as the cat, and Suse as the rescuer. June 29, 2026, 11:43 pm
