Story
🐾 Meet Kodiak 🤍 Under 1 year | Male | Neutered | Short-Haired Cream & White Kodiak is a gentle, handsome boy with the softest cream-and-white coat and the sweetest protective heart — especially when it comes to his sister, Alpine. While he may be a little shy at first, Kodiak is quietly brave and has been blossoming more every day in foster care. He’s the kind of kitty who just needs a little patience to truly shine. And make no mistake… Looking out for Alpine is his full-time job. 💛 🤍 Personality Kodiak is: ✨ Affectionate ✨ Chill ✨ Gentle ✨ Introverted ✨ Quiet ✨ Resilient ✨ Protective ✨ Shy but improving He is slightly more outgoing than Alpine and often helps her feel safe and confident. Kodiak is wonderfully snuggly and sweet, especially when he’s curled up beside his sister. Favorite sleeping spot: A cozy cat bed… right next to Alpine. 🥹 🍽 Favorite Foods Kodiak enjoys: Wet food: Fancy Feast Chicken in Gravy Dry food: Purina ONE Kitten (Chicken) He’s always happy when food is on the menu. 🚨 Bonded Pair — Must Adopt Together Kodiak and Alpine are a bonded brother-and-sister duo and must be adopted together. They rely on each other for comfort and confidence and will thrive in a patient home that allows them to continue coming out of their shells at their own pace. 💛 His Story Kodiak and Alpine came from a colony where a kind woman had been lovingly feeding and caring for them. When she reached out to Billy the Kidden Rescue, their lives changed forever. The siblings faithfully returned for meals until one of our amazing volunteers safely trapped them. Soon after, they were fully vetted — spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested. And they made their preference very clear… Outdoor life was not for them. They are much happier living safely indoors. 🏡 🏡 The Home He Needs Kodiak will do best in a calm, patient home that understands shy kitties just need time, love, and consistency. If your heart has room for two gentle souls — and you believe in letting love grow slowly — Kodiak and Alpine are ready to start their forever story together. 🐾💛

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
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
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 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🐾💙
