Story
Meet Goldwyn! She is part of the Lion’s Portal kittens!! These babies came in on 8/8/25, the Lion’s Portal, so they have an energy about them. All good of course! They are approximately 12 weeks old, a mix of males and females, and a mix of short hair and long hair. Goldwyn sticks out with her beautiful golden marbling, and all of these babies are as soft as silk. Come on down to meet these happy, playful, adorable kittens today! They’ll be available to go home in approximately 3 weeks (with a foster arrangement) but cannot be adopted until they are spayed and neutered.

Story
Pita was born on the early morning of 4/18/25, one of seven kittens. His mama is named Tiny and had her babies on my doorstep, so I brought all of them into my home. He was the runt of the litter, and I originally named him PIP as in pipsqueak. He has really bloomed! He is a ball of energy who will entertain you for hours on end, but he’s not too busy to climb into your lap or try to actually jump into your arms! He loves to play with his brothers and sister, but also loves to be cuddled. He is very brave and has no problem walking up to the adult cats in the home and try to make friends. He is definitely a little sweetheart.
