She was originally bottle-fed as a tiny kitten and found a loving home early in life, but through no fault of her own, she has recently returned to rescue and is ready for the next chapter in life. This girl has a big personality and isn’t afraid to share it! Auger can be delightfully vocal when she wants attention—especially around mealtimes, which are clearly a highlight of her day. She enjoys companionship but also appreciates having her space respected. Auger was the only cat in her previous home. While she arrived in rescue with her littermates, she may hiss at first, so slow, thoughtful introductions are important. She tends to do better with male cats than females. In her current foster home, she has met a small dog and even tried to rub against her, showing her potential to coexist with calm canine friends. Her experience with children is unknown, but she would likely do best in a quieter home with older kids who understand how to give her space when she needs it. One of Auger’s favorite pastimes is lounging on the bed, soaking up the comfort of a cozy space. With patience, love, and a calm environment, Auger will reward a  family with affection, conversation, and plenty of charm. Auger is from an owner 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.January 15, 2026, 5:39 pm

If you let me, I would happily sit on your chest right below your chin all day long—it’s my favorite place to be. I love scratches of all kinds, and my purr motor starts the second you even look at me. Seriously. Eye contact = purring. When I’m not busy cuddling, I enjoy playing with toys and relaxing to nature sounds. I’ve traveled up north already, so car rides don’t scare me one bit. I’m also a big fan of the great outdoors… from inside. Bird and squirrel videos on YouTube? Absolute cinema. I’ll sit and watch them like I’m studying wildlife. I’ll be honest—when I get overstimulated, I can get a little mouthy and may give a gentle bite. I never break skin, and my people have been working with me on this since day one, but it’s something my future family should know. Because of that, I’d do best in a home without young kids. I do great with adults and older kids, but I’m not a fan of other cats or dogs. I’d be happiest living with just my siblings—or no other pets at all. Most importantly, my brother Grafton and I are very bonded, and we truly should be adopted together. We’re a package deal and balance each other perfectly. If you’re looking for a deeply affectionate, chest-snuggling, nonstop-purring companion (or two!), I might just be the guy for you. Grover would love to be adopted with one or both of his siblings, but if he is not able to, he would do best with another playful cat in the home. Grover is from a stray surrender with 2 siblings.

This stunning girl is seeking a kingdom where she can reign as the one and only furry monarch. Kooky absolutely thrives on attention, snuggles, and her favorite game: mousy fetch! Kooky is a high-demand cat who loves to be the star of the show. When guests arrive, expect her front and center, charming everyone with her captivating presence. She craves constant companionship, wanting to be near you often, whether you're working, relaxing, or just moving about the house. Her favorite pastime is a spirited game of fetch. Toss a toy mouse, and watch her chase it down the hall, often sliding gracefully on non-carpeted floors as she makes her epic catch. Playtime is a must, especially at bedtime, when she’ll demand her "love loves" – extended snuggle sessions. While Kooky adores affection, she's also a cat who communicates her boundaries openly. She enjoys being touched frequently, but there may be times she's not in the mood for a full petting session. A home with respectful teens or adults who understand and honor these subtle cues will be the perfect match for her. Finally, Kooky’s simple rule for domestic bliss: always ensure her food bowl is full! And if you dare to leave her alone for too long, prepare for an extra-long snuggle session upon your return. If you're ready for a cat who's full of personality, fun, and boundless affection, Kooky is ready to crown you her devoted human! Kooky is from an owner surrender.
