Story
Meet Ziva 💫 Ziva is a 6-month-old gray domestic short hair, spayed female, with the softest fur and the sweetest little soul. She was brought in from a colony after it was discovered she wasn’t quite feral — just unsure of the world and waiting for someone to show her it was safe. When she first arrived, Ziva was very shy and cautious. But with patience and love, she’s blossomed beautifully. Now she plays with my resident cats and can absolutely hold her own with the three boys. She’s still thoughtful about new situations, but she’s much more adventurous than she was just a few weeks ago — and it’s been incredible to watch her confidence grow. Ziva would thrive in a calm home that understands she may need a little time to fully settle in. She hasn’t been kid or dog tested yet, so a quieter environment would be ideal for her continued growth. Her current menu includes Purina Healthy Kitten dry food and Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers (beef and chicken — she has standards). She LOVES Churu and will happily sit on your lap while she enjoys one like the tiny queen she is. One of her favorite games? Whack-a-mole… except she’s the mole, and she’s whacking you. Surprise paws are her specialty. Once she feels comfortable, Ziva is a snuggler. She purrs softly while giving tiny headbutts and will melt into you for affection. She’s the kind of girl who bonds deeply — the reward is worth the patience. Spayed, playful, and full of quiet charm, Ziva is ready for a home that will let her continue becoming the brave, loving little cat she’s meant to be.

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 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
**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
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.
