Story
**must be adopted with Beth** Rip (born February 2022) is a handsome white and grey fellow. He is very timid at first, and needs someone who will have patience with him. He is a very good boy, just very cautious and doesn’t like a lot of commotion or loud noises. He would do best in a quieter home without dogs or small kids. He is a play machine!!! He loves to run around and chase his sister Beth, but he would definitely benefit from someone who will play with him on a regular. He likes to play with all kinds of toys. He likes wand toys that have feathers attached, and he will jump so high to try and catch them. His all time favorite toy is a wand toy that the string and actual toy part is broken off of. It literally just has the plastic wand part of the toy left. His foster parents call it “Rip’s stick” and it will definitely be going to his new home with him! For some reason he loves to play with the stick end of the toy. He’ll run all over the place trying to catch it! If you run it around him he will chase it in circles over and over again until he starts panting. You end up having to make him take a break until he calms down, because he will just keep going and going! He’s a very vocal cat and a lot of times he will speak when you call his name. He loves to lay on the cat tree in front of the window so he can see all the birds, animals, and people going by, so a window perch or cat tree in front of the window would be great for him. He is slowly starting to like pets more and more as time goes by. It might take a little time to earn his trust, but once you do it is so worth it. Rip is in a bonded pair with his sister, Beth so they must be adopted together. 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 Flint & Ivan 🐾💙 1 year old | Bonded Brothers | Must Be Adopted Together Flint and Ivan are resilient, sweet brothers who have overcome an incredible medical journey and are now ready to find their forever home — together. They came into foster care at about 7 weeks old as spicy little kittens who needed time to learn that people are safe. With patience and love, they have blossomed into gentle, affectionate boys who enjoy a calm indoor life. Both boys successfully completed treatment for FIP and have been cured after the full treatment and observation period. They are now healthy, happy, and ready for the next chapter. Personality: Flint is a little more timid than Ivan but he’s very playful and super sweet. He loves attention, feather wands, and other cats. Ivan warms up on his own timeline but enjoys pets when he feels comfortable. He also has an adorable habit of playing in water and hanging out by the sink. They are generally chill boys but do get the occasional zoomies — especially Ivan at night. Both love toy springs, cat tunnels, and cozy sleeping spots. Good to Know: Both prefer not to be picked up (Ivan especially). Flint may have occasional chronic URI flare-ups and may need periodic antibiotics; he will be a medical adoption through BTKR. Ivan has mild chronic runny eyes that may flare with environmental irritants. Daily Imuquin and a consistent diet are recommended. Flint loves other cats; Ivan does well with slow introductions. Current Diet: Temptations canned (chicken), Fancy Feast/Gravy Lovers (chicken), and Purina ONE Kitten dry food. They love Churu treats. Ideal Home: A patient, committed adopter who will keep them together and provide a stable, loving indoor home where they can continue to thrive. These boys are true survivors with so much love to give. 📧 Interested? Email: billythekiddenrescue@gmail.com

Story
Meet Drex 💙 — a gentle soul with the sweetest heart (and the cutest mealtime routine!) Drex is an 8-month-old neutered boy with the most beautiful grey-beige swirly tabby coat and an even more beautiful personality. He’s part of a bonded pair with his brother Darius, and the two are rarely far apart—often found snuggled together in a cozy bed perched high on a shelf, where Drex feels safest and happiest. Once a shy, frightened kitten who was scared of his own shadow, Drex has truly blossomed. With time, patience, and love, he’s grown into a quiet, affectionate, and incredibly sweet young cat who now understands just how wonderful it is to give and receive love. Watching his transformation has been nothing short of magical. Drex is wonderfully well-mannered and gets along beautifully with other cats, and kids. He’s never met a dog, but with the proper introduction he’d likely do fine with a calm dog. He’s playful in a gentle way—wand toys and springs are his favorites—and he’s very food-motivated, especially when Temptations treats or churu are involved. One of his most endearing habits is winding himself around his foster mom’s feet at mealtime, politely (and adorably) reminding her that dinner is very important. He’s a chill, clever, and resilient guy, but he does need a little time to adjust to new places and people. New environments can feel overwhelming at first, so he’s looking for a patient, understanding family who will let him settle in at his own pace. The reward? A loving, loyal companion who will absolutely steal your heart once he feels safe. Drex and his siblings came from animal control as scared kittens, but thanks to devoted fostering, they’ve grown into calm, gentle, non-aggressive cats who have never bitten or swatted—even when afraid. Drex currently enjoys Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers (chicken) and Purina One Plus, and he’s thriving. If you’re looking for a quiet, affectionate, bonded pair who embody the beauty of growth, trust, and love, Drex—and his brother Darius—might just be the perfect addition to your home. With patience and kindness, they will show you just how special they truly are🐾💙

Story
Hi, my name is Mila (you may also call me Queen Mila, as you will find I am truly a beautiful queen). I’m a gorgeous 5 year old medium haired tuxedo girl, with a just right combo of sugar and spice, looking for my forever castle! My life has had LOTS of twists and turns…. I was rescued and adopted as a kitten, and then surrendered when my first family moved away ☹ I was adopted again, and all was well until I started having some issues with the resident toddler. I like my boundaries, and I wasn’t having a good time. As you can imagine I was very overwhelmed, scared and confused when I was surrendered again. Having your heart broken twice in 5 years…..well, I do not recommend it. It took me some time to settle back in at the rescue, but once I did, everyone discovered that I am a very affectionate, and charmingly goofy, little girl! I am very chatty, and I will let you know when I need some attention, as well as when I’ve had enough and need some “me time.” I am very particular about certain things and vocal about my boundaries. I do not like being touched on my lower back. I’m not really a fan of other cats; my helpers think the best thing is for me to be a solo kitty. I definitely need a house with no children, a quiet environment, and adopters who are very patient, and understand that I will need time to adjust to new surroundings. I have food sensitivities, and so I am on a prescription hydrolized protein diet as recommended by my vet. I really enjoy eating and will quickly let you know when my bowl is empty! I also really like fresh water—especially if it’s in a big bowl that I can splash my paws around in first before I settle down to drink. I love me some water play! Other favorites are cat tunnels for playing, and feather wands. I like to sleep in high up spaces, so I think I’d enjoy a nice cat tree for my beauty sleep. They say the third time’s the charm, and I need my third home to finally be my forever! I have so much love to give (and so much entertainment to provide!) to my new family.

Story
🐾 Meet Hanson 💛 ~5 years old | Male | Large Grey Tabby | Big Head, Bigger Heart Hanson’s past is a bit of a mystery — we don’t know how long he survived outdoors or what he experienced before rescue. But what we do know is this: ✨ This is where his real story begins. Last year, Hanson was trapped by our executive director, neutered, and returned outside. But Hanson had other plans. Over the months that followed, he kept coming back — first for meals… and then for something more important: connection. Little by little, trust was built. And Hanson made it clear… He chose comfort. He chose safety. He chose love. 💛 🤍 Personality & Quirks Hanson is a big, sweet boy who absolutely melts for back scratches. Once you start, he’ll happily lean his whole chunky self into your hand for more. Now — fair warning — Hanson does hiss. But don’t let that fool you. This is just Hanson’s way of talking, not a sign of aggression. In true Hanson fashion, he may hiss… and then immediately shove his head into your hand demanding pets. It’s part of his very unique charm. 😌 Hanson will thrive with a patient, understanding adopter who will let him move at his own pace as he continues learning that indoor life is the good life. Once you earn his trust, he is incredibly loving and loyal. 🍽 The Way to Hanson’s Heart (and Belly) Let’s be honest… Hanson loves to eat. Dry food: Purina ONE Chicken Wet food: Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers (Chicken) Ultimate bribe: Churu treats He’s not picky — especially when wet food is involved. If food appears, Hanson is immediately invested in the situation. 🍗 💛 The Home He Deserves Hanson is ready for a forever home where he never has to worry about survival again. No more fending for himself. No more searching for his next meal. No more uncertainty. Just: ✨ Warm beds ✨ Full bowls ✨ Gentle hands ✨ And a human who understands that love sometimes takes time This big-headed, soft-hearted boy is ready for his happily ever after — safely indoors, exactly where he belongs. If you believe the best bonds are built slowly, with patience and trust… Hanson might just be your perfect match. 🐾💛

🐾 Meet Andy & Vlad — Best Friends, Built-In Bond 🐾 Hi! We’re Andy and Vlad, a bonded pair of best buddies searching for our forever home together. We’re a little shy when we first meet new people, but give us a little time and we warm up quickly — and once we do, we LOVE pets and attention. We’re big fans of squeeze treats (Churus are life… especially according to Vlad). 🍣 We would do best in a home with: ✔ Other cats ❌ No small children ❌ No dogs We thrive in a calmer environment where we can feel safe and loved. 💛 Andy’s Story — Proud Member of the Tripod Club Andy here. My journey to safety was a tough one. I somehow ended up trapped between two fence slats. Thankfully, a kind person saw me struggling and contacted Billy the Kidden Rescue right away. I was rushed to the emergency vet, where doctors discovered my leg was badly damaged and necrotic. Half of it had to be amputated immediately. Because the hospital didn’t have the staff to complete the surgery at that time, I had a second procedure the following week to remove the rest of my leg. Now I’m officially part of the Tripod Club — and guess what? It hasn’t slowed me down one bit. I get around just fine and live a happy, normal kitty life. 💕 Our Personalities We balance each other perfectly. We may start out a little reserved, but once we feel safe, we’re affectionate, gentle, and sweet. We love lounging, being near our people, and enjoying the simple cozy things in life. And did we mention treats? Because… treats. Andy and Vlad are looking for a quiet, loving home where they can stay together — because best friends belong side by side. 🖤🐾
