Story
PIERRE Male, Neutered DOB : April 26, 2026 DSH Microchipped and up to date on core vaccines Good with cats, untested with dogs, should do fine with respectful children   Pierre is everything you could want in a kitten—playful, curious, fearless, and always on the move! This adorable black-and-white boy is the first to investigate a new toy, the first to start a game of chase, and usually the last one to call it a day. He has a big personality packed into a little body and loves wrestling with his kitten friends, climbing anything he can reach, and turning everyday moments into adventures. When he's finally worn himself out, Pierreis more than happy to curl up beside you for a well-earned nap and a few purrs. Pierre is looking for a home that will embrace all the fun (and occasional silliness!) that comes with raising a kitten. He'd love another playful cat to romp around with or a family that's ready to keep him active and entertained. If your home could use a little more laughter, a little more excitement, and a whole lot of kitten charm, Pierre is ready to steal your heart. Interested in adopting Pierre?

Story
GUSTAVE Male, Neutered DOB: April 26, 2026 DSH Microchipped and up to date on core vaccines Good with cats, untested with dogs, should do okay with respectful kids Gustave is the perfect mix of playful and easygoing. This beautiful kitten with adorable markings loves chasing toys, exploring his surroundings, and joining in on kitten adventures—but he's just as happy to slow down for a cozy nap or cuddle when the excitement is over. Sweet, affectionate, and curious, Gustave has a gentle personality that makes him easy to fall in love with. He enjoys spending time with people and has a calm, laid-back side that balances his playful kitten energy. Whether he's batting around a toy or stretching out in a sunny window, Gustave is content simply being part of the family. Gustave would thrive in a home that can give him plenty of love, playtime, and a soft place to land at the end of the day. He'll bring just the right mix of fun, companionship, and quiet affection to his forever home. If you're looking for a kitten who can make you laugh one minute and melt into your lap the next, Gustave is ready to meet you.   Interested in adopting? Of course you are!
