Story
Meet Vern, the fearless leader of his "V" Litter. This sweet boy is mostly white with some dark gray patches on his ears, side, and tail. He’s the first to explore, the first to eat, and always the first to turn any object into a toy. Vern has a laid-back charm—he’s cool, confident, and rarely rattled. He loves a good butt scratch, long naps in the sunshine, and being in the middle of whatever’s going on. If you’re looking for a kitten with swagger and sweetness, Vern’s your guy!HART requires that young kittens be adopted in pairs unless you have an existing kitten or young cat at home.

Story
Velia is a petite and beautiful young mama cat with soft grey and white fur and a heart full of love. She can be a little quirky—she might give a dramatic hiss here and there, but don’t let that fool you. What she really wants is chin scratches, gentle affection, and a calm, cozy home. Start petting her and she’ll melt—eyes closed, making biscuits, and even standing up on her tippy toes for a good bum scratch! Velia is looking for a dog-free home where she can feel safe, adored, and appreciated for the sweet soul she is.Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As

Story
Elegant and graceful, Vania is the little princess of her litter. With her long legs and unique markings (she's technically a calico but almost 90% white), she’s a beauty—but also a bit reserved. Vania takes a little longer to warm up, but once she does, her gentle and affectionate nature shines through. If you have a quiet home and a kind heart, Vania will blossom into your very loyal and loving companion.HART requires that young kittens be adopted in pairs unless you have an existing kitten or young cat at home.

Story
Vali is a sweet, gentle soul with movie-star looks and zero ego. Quiet and loving, Vali enjoys soft pets, cuddles, and a cozy spot to nap with his siblings. But don’t let his mellow side fool you—pull out a wand toy and he turns into a focused, playful hunter (with a tendency to fall over backward mid-pounce). Vali is perfect for someone looking for a low-key cuddlebug with a playful heart.HART requires that young kittens be adopted in pairs unless you have an existing kitten or young cat at home.

Story
***BONDED WITH BROOKLYN***Jenny is a small, sweet little light brown kitten with the sweetest little face! She came to HART by way of Memphis, Tennessee looking for her forever home here in Maine. She has some big personalities in her litter of 4 kitties, so she can seem on the reserved side as compared with her energetic siblings. But Jenny is just as loving and snuggly as can be and will make a wonderful, loving companion to the family lucky enough to scoop her up.HART requires that young kittens be adopted in pairs unless you have an existing kitten or young cat at home.
