My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Alejandro (AJ) and Estevan (Stevie) are an adorable bonded brother pair who must be adopted TOGETHER!

Due to an onslaught of kittens available for rescue, we have had the privilege of having Alejandro (AJ) in our home for longer than usual, as they wait patiently to be found and adopted, and as a foster mama, I wouldn’t be lying to say that these are some of the best kittens we’ve ever had! Both brothers! Living with these two is like winning the lottery. It makes me wish I knew their mama.

Alejandro (AJ): AJ came to us very scared and it was immediately clear to me that out of the two trembling kittens, he was the protector when things got rough and they were on their own— he was just so brave, and when he thought Stevie was in trouble, despite obvious fear in his eyes, he came right at me, to get between us and protect his brother. Because of this, we fell for him HARD, right away. He was brave and sassy and I knew that these were things that he REQUIRED in order to survive, and survive he did!

He has been with us now for months, and with a lot of work and patience, we have seen the most beautiful metamorphosis. I sort of had suspected that under all that fluff and hiss that he was probably one of the more soft and sensitive cats that I’d ever seen, and I was not wrong. He is an absolute love bug at this point. Instead of hissing, when you pick him up and love on him, he’ll push away playfully, but he can’t hide his little muffin paws, they just start kneading you, evidencing that he loves every minute of the snuggles. He now walks straight up to you, and does the most darling little dance when you are preparing his wet food in the mornings and at night, we call him happy feet. AJ is fluffy and curious and brave and loves his brother, Stevie (the other half of his bonded pair) and all of his foster family and guests with what appears to be all of his heart. Because of this, we’re hoping that his future family will be a safe place for him to continue his joyful reign. If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you and let you get to know him!

Estevan (Stevie): This precious little kitty is pure sugar, no spice. He’s part of a bonded pair with his fluffy brother AJ (Alejandro) who he loves deeply, but he loves pretty much any human or any cat! We call him our drapery, because he is a watcher, and he loves to drape over the kitchen counter to watch you cook or do dishes, or in the bathroom under the mirror to watch you get ready for the day. Wherever the action is, he is there to supervise, but he seems to approve of pretty much whatever you are up to. He has a beautiful calm disposition and even when he was brand new and wasn’t TERRIBLY sure that he was safe, could not resist a soft fluffy pillow or the warm fireplace for a stretchy nap. We just love this little guy and know that any home that he will end up in will be 1- well supervised and 2- so much better for it. Stevie is an incredible cat and can’t wait to meet you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application to learn a bit about the home our cats will be going to and the family's motivation for adoption and expectations about pet ownership. We also have an adoption contract, which includes a no declawing and indoor-only clause along with a vet promissory note that ensures you will continue with the medical care and spay/neuter if needed.

We DO NOT do any out of state adoptions except on the NC border on a case-by-case basis.

We require a donation of $120 for adoption of unaltered kittens with a PTV Contract. All kittens receive vaccine series and wormings as well as medical treatment as needed. The adopter is responsible for obtaining their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter if the kitten is not of age at the time of adoption. We can provide resources for low cost clinics that offer these services.

We ask a donation of $25 to adopt Career/barn cats.

We require a donation of at least $140 for adoption of Spayed/neutered cat.

Bonded pairs adoption donation is $200.

Sometimes we require rental checks or home inspections. We always have a Meet n Greet to make sure everyone gets along. We encourage bringing the whole family!

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce feral cat population in Hampton Roads by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens for adoption into loving forever homes. We are a VDACS registered 501c3 nonprofit, founded in 2014 with over 60 foster homes.

Our heart is in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return of ferals), where cats are fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and allowed to live out their lives without reproducing. We are advocates for advancing legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads. Our unique feral kitten socialization program has a 90% success rate in socializing feral-born kittens to become loving, in-home pets.

We are always seeking fosters, volunteers, transporters, and trappers to join our team!
