Story
"Come here... come here" - Bela Lugosi's Count Dracula You can't resist Bela.. come here... and there's no reason to try, so listen to our Bela Lugosi!  She wants you to come here so you can be her new family.  Bela clearly was cast in the wrong picture show, as there's nothing to give you the heebie-jeebies about this darling.  She's the cat's meow, an absolute love, she adores people and just wants to be near you.  Bring out the pets!  Bela is a ton of fun too, she loves playing either with her siblings or with you.  Pretty Bela is wearing her fashionable bob cut and is putting on the ritz with her classic black & white, she's a looker!   Bela would do well with another young, playful cat, perhaps a sibling, and is good with respectful children.   You can see more pictures and videos of our fosters on our facebook page:  Sophia L'Orange Kitten Rescue All of our adoptable animals are cared for and assessed in foster homes (we do not have a shelter), up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered and tested for FeLV/FIV, before they are adopted. They have had de-worming medication as a standard of care and Flea/Tick/Ear Mite preventive treatment. Medical records will be released with the adopted pet. ##2623480##

Rudy Valentino, our Great Lover, is searching for her soulmate - the family that knows she's not to be typecast as the villain in this picture show but is the hero!  Wouldn't that be the bee's knees!  Rudy is such a lover she'll follow you everywhere just to be near you.  She's all dolled up in her spiffy black & white, with the most adorable nose spot ever.  This hotsy-totsy gal is playful, so much fun to play with or watch her play with her siblings, she's the berries.  She's keen on anything you are doing, she wants to be a part of it all!  Rudy would do well with another young, playful cat, perhaps a sibling, and is good with respectful children.     You can see more pictures and videos of our fosters on our facebook page:  Sophia L'Orange Kitten Rescue All of our adoptable animals are cared for and assessed in foster homes (we do not have a shelter), up to date on age appropriate vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered and tested for FeLV/FIV, before they are adopted.

Story
Meet Cedar & Pine! These adorable brothers are a bundle of kitten energy and fun. Cedar and Pine love to play hard and roughhouse with each other, turning every moment into an action-packed adventure. Toys, wrestling matches, and zoomies are their specialties! Cedar is the more outgoing of the two—confident, curious, and always ready to be part of the action. Pine is a bit more reserved and likes to observe at first, but he still loves attention and happily joins in once he feels comfortable. Both boys enjoy being loved on and thrive with plenty of playtime and interaction. Cedar and Pine would be happiest adopted together, where they can keep each other entertained, burn off their kitten energy, and grow up side by side.    APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  4 lbs ESTIMATED DOB:  9/22/2025 GOOD WITH DOGS:  UNKNOWN GOOD WITH CATS:  UNKNOWN GOOD WITH KIDS:  UNKNOWN ACTIVITY LEVEL:  MODERATELY ACTIVE LIKES TO VOCALIZE:  SOME SPECIAL NEEDS:  no DECLAWED:  no &#226&#128&#139Please note that all cats adopted from the Little Guild are INDOOR ONLY.

Story
Meet Elm & Aspen! This adorable brother-sister duo is full of kitten energy and endless fun. Elm and Aspen are playful, curious, and always ready to turn anything into a game. Whether it’s chasing toys or zooming around the room, these two keep each other entertained. Elm is the shyer of the pair and may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he truly enjoys attention and affection. Aspen is more outgoing and helps bring out Elm’s confidence, because of this they are a bonded pair. When playtime is over, both kittens love nothing more than settling in for cuddles- especially snuggling up in bed with each other. Elm and Aspen would thrive in a home together where they can continue growing, playing and cuddling side by side.    APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  4 lbs ESTIMATED DOB:  9/22/2025 GOOD WITH DOGS:  UNKNOWN GOOD WITH CATS:  UNKNOWN GOOD WITH KIDS:  UNKNOWN ACTIVITY LEVEL:  MODERATELY ACTIVE LIKES TO VOCALIZE:  SOME SPECIAL NEEDS:  no DECLAWED:  no &#226&#128&#139Please note that all cats adopted from the Little Guild are INDOOR ONLY.
