Story
MEET LEWIS (aka BIG LOU) Big Lou is a 5-year-old, neutered cat who is — and we cannot stress this enough — an ABSOLUTE UNIT. He is large. He is in charge. He moves with purpose and the confidence of someone who knows the wet food budget revolves around him. Lou is curious, adventurous, and fully committed to exploring every inch of his domain. Cabinets? Investigated. Countertops? Patrolled. Things you thought were out of reach? Incorrect. Big Lou will find them. Despite his impressive size, Big Lou has a very specific hobby: napping in tiny little huts clearly meant for much smaller beings. He will cram himself in, achieve maximum comfort, and nap like a king. Physics are optional. He is also the proud owner and sole proprietor of BIG LOU’S BISCUIT SALOON An elite, feline owned establishment where this unit works double shifts. Every biscuit is made by the owner himself and includes complimentary cuddles. When Big Lou’s off the clock he likes to sit back and enjoy a can of fancy feast gravy lovers wet food (chicken or beef) or Purina One Tender Select Blend dry food. Big Lou is also very vocal and has no problem using his voice to communicate his needs. Hungry? You’ll know. Wants attention? You’ll definitely know. Has a thought? He’s sharing it. Does he get along with other cats? Yes. Yes he does. He would do great with a feline friend or as the sole King of the establishment. Despite his “absolute unit” status, Big Lou is a lovable goof with a heart as big as his frame. He enjoys supervising daily life, judging your decisions silently, and reminding you ✨loudly ✨when it’s time for wet food (and also when it’s almost time for wet food). At 5 years old, neutered, seasoned, and snack-motivated, Big Lou is out of his kitten era and deep into his “respected neighborhood legend” phase. If you’re looking for: ✔️ A curious explorer ✔️ A large cat with even larger personality ✔️ The proud proprietor of Big Lou’s Biscuit Saloon, professional tiny-hut napper, and full-time communicator Then congratulations. You’ve been chosen. Adopt Big Lou. Respect the Saloon. Bring wet food.

Story
Hello to my future furever parent(s)! My name is Viper, and I can’t wait to meet you! Somehow, I found myself outside, but a kind person reached out to BTKR, and that’s how my journey to a better life began. It didn’t take long for them to discover that I’m a friendly, handsome tuxedo gentleman with lots of love to give. I’m about 1 year old, neutered, up to date on all my vaccines, and FIV/FeLV negative—all ready to go home with you! I’m incredibly affectionate and have the cutest little squeaky meow. I adore attention and will happily follow you around the house to make sure I’m getting all the pets I deserve. Food is one of my love languages! I’m a big fan of Fancy Feast Chicken Gravy Lovers, Purina One Chicken Adult dry food, and of course—treats! I’ll greet you with happy conversation and would love nothing more than to hear about your day. I get along well with other cats. I’m not quite sure how I feel about kids or dogs yet, but with slow and proper introductions, I should do just fine. I’m truly a loving boy who deserves to be the king of his castle and live the cozy indoor life I know I was meant for. Ready to meet me and give me my happily ever after? 💙🐾

Story
🐾 Meet Freya — A Quiet Queen Ready for Her Furever Throne 🩶 Freya is a stunning medium-haired gray beauty estimated to be between 3–5 years old. This spayed mama has gracefully traded street life for the comfort of indoor living—and she’s discovering that soft beds, full bowls, and gentle companionship suit her just fine. Freya came to us after her daughter, Adira, was trapped first. Soon after, Freya followed, and together they began their journey to safety. Freya proved to be a devoted and loving mother, and now that her kitten has been adopted, it’s finally her turn to be someone’s cherished companion. 💛 Personality & Home Life Freya is chill, clever, quiet, and independent—an introvert at heart. She’s affectionate on her terms and prefers to keep all four paws on the ground, as she’s not a big fan of being picked up. With patience and time, she blossoms into a gentle, steady presence who enjoys calm interaction and peaceful coexistence. 🐱 Social Skills • Loves other cats, especially older or calmer companions • Fine with respectful children • Dogs are unknown 🎾 Favorites • Wand toys are her jam • Cozy cat beds for lounging • Churu treats (her weakness!) • Eats Purina One Adult Dry (chicken) and adores Sheba Cuts wet food 🏡 The Perfect Match Freya will thrive with a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time—and that the reward is absolutely worth it. She would do wonderfully in a quieter home with another friendly feline or as a solo queen who rules her space with quiet confidence. If you’re looking for a low-key, loving companion with a soft soul and a resilient heart, Freya may be the one you’ve been waiting for. 🩶🐾

Story
Meet Eudora! This gorgeous purr box is finally ready for a home! Coming from a background of surviving outside for over a year, having a litter of kittens that was hard on her and them, Miss Eudora has come through and taken to house cat life beautifully! This princess is shy but chatty and will talk to you quite a bit if she likes you and has warmed up to you! She absolutely LOVES scratches and rubs and can tolerate being picked up for a bit before signaling she's ready to get down. She recently started getting comfortable approaching people on furniture for pets, so she may yet become a lap queen! But never forget, she's proper royalty that loves being pampered. Eudora greets all her favorite subjects by rubbing on legs and talking to you and purring so loud it'll be the only thing you can hear. She also makes sure her subjects are safe during all dangerous activities such as using the bathroom or opening sharp cans of food. But a princess can't be all work and no play and Eudora has been quite fond of playing with the other cats and kittens. She also loves a good box with some crinkly paper and little mice and she enjoys good catnip from time to time for a spot of relaxation. She’s still really nervous around dogs although we suspect if they are small more calm dog she will do better than with a big one. She's still getting used to playing and she’s bound to open up more for the right family! This girl will need some adjustment time but has been taking meds well when she needs to, and she has never lashed out even when she's scared. She's a hider and prefers a quiet space to retreat to. She's also food motivated! She loves it all! She prefers to take treats from a bowl instead of the package or a hand. Again, she's a proper lady! If you love and treat her right, she’ll be your little greeter when you come home from work. (Note for going to the vet: because she’s timid, she will need to be approached more slowly and deliberately or may have a fear response - take your time and she’ll be an absolute angel!) Please see our rescue information for our adoption fees or email us at billythekiddenrescue@gmail.com. ‼️Help control the pet population - have your pets spayed or neutered! 💯

Story
Meet Sketti – The Soul Cat You’ve Been Waiting For Sketti is a 2-year-old spayed tortoiseshell female with a presence that’s impossible to forget. She is patient, tolerant, loving, curious, and absolutely stunning—but it’s the wisdom behind her eyes that truly sets her apart. Sketti gets along well with her adult feline companions and appreciates having her own space to decompress after a busy day. She enjoys playtime when the mood strikes, but her favorite activity is exploring her surroundings and taking in the world around her. She’s happy to curl up beside you and soak in your coziness on her own terms, or lounge solo, perfectly content in quiet moments. This girl does it all—she loves climbing, company, hustle and bustle, and solitude. Sketti thrives in a home that offers both stimulation and calm: a place where she can sprint, chase and stalk her toys, hide during play, and retreat to a peaceful area to recharge before returning just as playful as before. Sketti has a gentle, protective nature with her remaining kitten, and it would be a dream to see them adopted together. She truly is a “soul cat” looking for her person—the kind of cat who forms a deep, meaningful bond and leaves a permanent imprint on your heart. Sketti came to me as an emergency foster after giving birth to her first and only litter. Watching her raise her babies and grow into the cat she is today has been an experience I will forever be grateful for. Now, she’s ready for the next chapter—one filled with love, understanding, and a home that appreciates the quiet magic she brings. 💛 If you’re searching for a cat with depth, grace, and a beautiful balance of independence and affection, Sketti may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
