Kittens and cats in Virginia Beach, Virginia

**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.

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.

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

🐾 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. 🖤🐾

Meet Crimson! A Petite, Beautiful Soul Learning to Trust — and Worth Every Moment of It ~ * ~ Allow me to introduce myself — my name is Crimson, and I am one of those cats who will make you work just a little for my affection… and then make you feel like the luckiest person alive when you earn it. I’m a petite, laid-back, and strikingly beautiful girl with a quiet elegance about me, and I am ready to find the patient, loving home I deserve. Silvery, Soft & Simply Stunning Crimson is a gorgeous grey and white cat whose coloring has an almost ethereal, silvery quality to it. Her soft grey coat — the kind that shifts from smoky charcoal to pale silver depending on the light — blends beautifully with clean white markings that frame her delicate features perfectly. She is a small girl with a big presence, the type of cat whose refined, understated beauty makes you do a double-take. Elegant is truly the only word for it. Her Story She came from one of the current colonies Billy the Kidden Rescue is working to assist with the feral population. She was originally slated for TNR — until her foster moms discovered something wonderful: she’s friendly. However she ended up outdoors, one thing is certain: that is not where she belongs. Crimson is an inside cat through and through, and she is more than ready to trade the outdoors for a cozy couch and a warm lap. How to Win My Heart: A Quick Guide Because Crimson was rescued as an older cat and spent time outdoors, she is still on her trust journey with humans — and that’s okay. She has already come such a long way, and the right person will help her go even further. Here’s how to start things off on the right paw: • Approach her slowly and calmly. No sudden movements or loud noises — let her see you coming and give her time to assess the situation. • Let her sniff your hand first. Extend a relaxed hand and let Crimson come to you. When she gives you that little sniff of approval, you’ll know you’ve passed the test. • Don’t take the hiss personally! If she greets you with a hiss at first, she’s not being mean — she’s just being cautious. Give her a moment, stay calm, and let her warm up at her own pace. She will. Loving Her Well: Understanding Overstimulation Crimson adores attention and pets — but always on her own terms, which is actually one of the things that makes her so special. Because she loves affection so much, she can sometimes become overstimulated when the excitement gets to be a little too much. If this happens, the best thing you can do is simply give her some space and time to decompress. She’ll be back for more pets before you know it — purring away like nothing happened. Learning to read her cues is part of the joy of knowing her, and she will reward your patience with the most endearing little purr you’ve ever heard. Her Ideal Home Crimson is comfortable with other cats and would be happy as a solo kitty or with a feline companion. She would do best with older children who understand and respect boundaries — kids who know that when a cat needs space, you give it. Her history with dogs is unknown, so a slower, careful introduction would be recommended. Above all, she needs a calm, patient home where she can continue to grow in confidence and trust. ~ * ~ Ready to Go Home Today! Approximately 4 years old • Spayed • Microchipped • Fully vaccinated • FIV/FeLV negative Crimson’s perfect person is out there — someone with a gentle hand, a patient heart, and a cozy spot on the couch with her name on it. Could that be you?
