We post our available pets across the east coast and Canada and welcome applications from anywhere on the understanding that approved families must be prepared to travel to the rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. We Will Be Actively Looking to Adopt Kittens in Pairs Health & Background Estimated date of birth: 21 March 2026 ✅ SPAYED ✅  Core vaccines (Nobivac Feline 1-HCP) up to date - too young for Rabies ✅ Monthly preventatives ✅ Microchipped with 24PetWatch - registered with Free Pet Chip Registry. ⚖️ Weight approx. 2-3 pounds Why We Will Be Actively Looking to Adopt Kittens in Pairs We will be actively looking to place kittens in pairs whenever possible, as animal behavior experts and feline welfare organizations consistently recognize that kittens develop better socially, emotionally, and behaviorally when they grow up with a feline companion of a similar age. Benefits of adopting two kittens together: Built-in playmate: Kittens have endless energy. A companion provides a healthy outlet for wrestling, chasing, and play, helping to redirect natural hunting instincts and play aggression away from people, furniture, and household items. Teaches bite inhibition and boundaries: Through play and wrestling, kittens learn how to control the force of their bites and scratches. When one kitten plays too rough, the other responds immediately, teaching important social limits that humans cannot easily replicate. Faster learning and social development: Kittens learn by watching each other. They often develop appropriate grooming habits, litter box skills, confidence, and social behaviors more quickly when raised with a companion. Reduces loneliness and stress: Kittens thrive on interaction and stimulation. Having a bonded companion provides comfort, companionship, and security, especially when family members are at work, school, or away from home. Helps prevent boredom and destructive behavior: Two kittens are far more likely to keep each other entertained, reducing the chances of unwanted behaviors that can result from boredom, frustration, or excess energy. Provides lifelong companionship: Many kittens form strong bonds with their feline companions, giving them a source of friendship, comfort, and enrichment throughout their lives. While every kitten and family situation is unique, adopting a pair often creates a happier, healthier, and better-adjusted outcome for both the kittens and their adopters.  Our adoption fee's are $250 per kitten or $400 for two.

Story
Lily is a petite and sweet geriatric lady who loves a good cuddle! She warms up to people very quickly and makes sure nobody feels left out - she has plenty of love to go around. Playing with crinkly toys and hunting virtual birds are some of her favorite activities. When you’re doing a task, she loves to "help" get the job done. Computers are especially enticing! She's a brave and easy-going girl, except when it comes to the vacuum cleaner. Despite her age, she can jump and climb, especially when the reward is you. Her meow is quite unique- either silent or like a duck quack when she calls for attention. Lily would be a good fit for someone who is home frequently or has roommates; she loves human company and snuggling in bed with you. If you want to meet Lily, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Daniel has recently come to VT from Puero Rico! He was abandoned in a church and found with Nube, who is also at QCC. He is a 4 year old cat with a spirit of a kitten, playful, fun and vocal. He loves catnip, playing with wand toys and batting around catnip filled mice and bananas. Daniel loves to be petted and enjoys attention, and also likes to rest in the sun and look out the window. He is very affectionate with his caregivers and has the potential to be quite the lap cat! Sudden noises and movements scare him, so he would do best in a home with respectful/gentle older kids. He gets along great with other cats and has a very mild personality. He is just a large, happy guy. If you'd be interested in adopting this hunk of love, fill out an application on our website and stop by Queen City Cat Lounge to visit Daniel.
