Hubert was a farm cat for the first few months of his life. He can be quite aloof and gets overstimulated easily. Would be best as a single cat.

He has come so far and allows us to get close. He is starting to realize he is now safe and that there is always food and water so he no longer eats too much, too fast.   We have been able to pick him up and hold him for a little bit before he gets too scared. He is accepting head and chin scratchies and has showed us his motor! He is becoming more playful and no longer hides in the cat cave! With time, this little guy will make a great pet! And he has the cutest little face and showed us hit little meow now!  He’s come a long way in the short time we’ve had him!   Butternut is from stray surrender.

We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 30, 2025, 1:51 pm

You all are here because you want to bring a lovely kitty to your life and family who can add sweetness and companionship to your life. Well, look no further!    I have so much love and snuggles and sweetness to offer and all I ask is in return is love and your time. I am as sweet as a kitty could be, with my very soft meows that I don't often say, I express everything through my headbutting, rubbing against your leg or arm, just jumping randomly in your lap and making myself cozy there and looking at you with beautiful eyes and loud purrs. I am a nugget of energy and love running around anything that rolls or drags or dangles (or just ..moves including you!)    I love keeping my space and litterbox clean and don't have accidents. I love my scratch pads and scratch posts. I love laying in the sunlight, warm places and blankets! I am just a petite love bug who is looking for a lot of love and a family to call my own. Would that be you?    Ducky does need to be adopted to a home with another playful cat    Ducky (formerly known as Bug because she loves chasing bugs in the grass) is from an owner surrender.

Playtime is a favorite activity, whether that’s batting at toys, chasing gentle movements, or simply being part of whatever you’re doing. This special kitty has a confident spirit and a joyful heart, and he's looking for a home that will love him exactly as he is. If you’re searching for a devoted companion with extra sweetness and character, this wobbly wonder may be your perfect match!   Samson is from a local impound.

Sturgis, Spearfish, Custer, and Cheyenne Estimated Age: 3–4 months Learning to trust humans — but curious and full of potential! Say hello to Sturgis, Spearfish, Custer, and Cheyenne — an adorable group of rescue kittens known as the Black Hills Crew . These four are your typical playful, curious kittens... with one special twist: they’re still learning that humans aren’t so scary after all. Right now, they’re in their shy phase — more likely to sniff your hand than lean into it. But they’re making progress every day. They watch humans closely, follow the action, and show growing curiosity. They’re learning that touch is safe, and that love comes in soft voices and gentle patience. Meet the Crew: Cheyenne is the bravest of the bunch — always the first to check things out and the most likely to lead the others in exploring new territory.   Spearfish had a wound on her neck when she came into rescue, but she took her antibiotics like a champ and is healing up beautifully.   Sturgis & Custer are a little more reserved but still love playtime and are starting to come around with gentle interaction.   What They Love: Other cats! They adore feline friends and will come running and purring when they see another cat.   Playtime. Wand toys, tunnels, and anything they can bat around — they’re all in.   Food and litter box? No worries there — they’re eating like champs and have perfect litter box manners.   These kittens will thrive in a patient home with other friendly cats to show them the ropes. They’re not lap cats yet , but with time and love, they have every chance to blossom into affectionate companions. If you believe in second chances and the magic of earning a shy kitten’s trust, the Black Hills Crew would love to grow up in your care.     I just joined my foster family and we are still getting acquainted with one another. Once they learn more about me, they will add more information here! Cheyenne is from a stray surrender with 3 siblings.
