Pixiebob kittens & cats in Burlington, Vermont

Have you ever met Biscuit? She's speedy and spry! A blink and a whisker—and *zip!*—she goes by. She's two years old with a bright orange coat, As light as a leaf or a tiny toy boat. She wiggles through hidey-holes, cozy and neat, Then suddenly pops out whene'er there's a treat! "Did someone say snacks?" she'll seem to declare, Appearing like magic from *who-knows-just-where!* She came from Dominica, far over the sea, With many cat friends; how brave they must be. She's skinny and zippy, a quick little streak, The champion of "Hide-and-Then-Peek". New people can make her feel worried inside, So sometimes she'll watch from a nice place to hide. But kindness is magic, that's steady and true; Each gentle hello helps her trust grow anew. She adores other cats, With whiskers and tail swishes, purrs, and all that! And Snoopy- friendly and sweet- Is Biscuit's kind buddy from nose down to feet. Together they play, together they rest, Are they thinking the other is simply the best? So, if you've got patience, a warm little nook, And maybe a sunbeam or two by a book, A house full of kindness, where quiet hearts fit, Could be the place waiting for Bit— No, *Biscuit!* (She's zippy! She dashed out of sight!) Then back for a treat with the happiest delight. So open your door with a smile warm and wide, And let little Biscuit decide to come home inside. Because once she believes that your love will stay true, She'll fill your home up with a friendship brand new.

**Bonded with Lainey** Lindsay has come a long way in her human socialization! She has always been a cat’s cat- befriending, cuddling and playing with, teaching, and welcoming new cats, young & old, to the Lounge. She leads with grace and patience, and is the VP of hunting wand toys, springs, little mice, balls, and treats/kibble! She has the different food puzzles at the Lounge figured out, and is quick to approach and follow humans around with interest. Her intense stare, croaky supplicant meow, and frequent use of her paws to investigate objects and knock things out of your hands leads to unending amusement for all. She has progressed immensely with humans, allowing a couple of sneaky pets while she’s distracted. She has been seen cuddling and headbutting all of the other friendly Lounge cats, and has now become very bonded with Lainey. Come to the Lounge to witness Lindsay in all her glory! She’s a special cat looking for a special home with Lainey. If you want to meet Lindsay, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

**Bonded with his sister Winnie** Meet Schmidt — the kitten equivalent of a perfectly tailored suit with a surprise pop of color. Schmidt is a 10-month-old firecracker with just the right amount of swagger and independence. His adorable nose freckles give him that “I swear it’s not dirt” vibe — the kind of endearing quirk that would make even Winston (er, Winnie) pause mid-prank to coo. When he’s not busy wrestling with his sister, Winnie, he’s probably chasing down wand toys with the intensity of Nick Miller trying to avoid responsibility. And speaking of Winnie — Schmidt is especially close with her. These two are often found snuggled up together, looking like a buddy-cop duo on a stakeout. Despite his fiery energy, Schmidt is gentle, friendly, and totally into his human friends, too. He’s social, sweet, and always down for a cuddle break before zooming off to his next adventure. A true free-spirited boy, he strikes the perfect balance between independent king of the loft and affectionate little roommate. If you’re looking for an older kitten with personality, charm, and a dash of Schmidt-level flair, this little guy is ready to move in — NO SPIDER JARS REQUIRED.
