My personality

My story

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

Hi there, I’m Benjamin!  I’m a very sleek and dapper catten, who was originally brought in for TNR with my sisters; but we showed our friendly side and now we’re ready to find our forever homes indoors!

I like other cats, and I do need a home with another kitty for me to play with.  (If you don’t have a kitty at home, may I recommend my sister Tallulah?  We get along great, and we LOVE playing together!)  I don’t think I’ve ever been around dogs or kids, but I think I would be okay around older kids who are very calm and gentle with me.  I do need a pretty calm home, and a patient adopter, who understands that it will take me time to settle in to my new home and warm up, but when I do, I give TERRIFIC head bonks!

I LOVE crinkle toys! Like kind of maybe I’m obsessed with them.  I entertain my friends by tossing them up into the air and then chasing them (just to clarify, I’m talking about the crinkle toys, I do NOT throw my friends up in the air, that would be unkind!)  I also really enjoy a good interactive play session with wand toys, as well as play tunnels and toy catnip mice.  OH and I love cat trees with cozy cubbies that I can climb and snooze in.  

I eat wet and dry food, and I’m not very picky except that like my siblings, I have a deep and abiding dislike for pate style wet food.  Gravy style, please!  I LOVE Churu treats and those are a good way to build a bond with me!  

I hope you’ll come meet me!  My people say I’m at that cool age where I’m not into EVERYTHING like a really small kitten, but I still have all that fun kitten energy and the silly antics.  They think I’m pretty purrfect, and I hope you will too!

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!

Adoption application

Our pets are available for Meet and Greets at their various fosters homes or at our kittery at Pups n Stuff in Virginia Beach for fosters who do not show animals in their home. Appointments must be scheduled in advance!

We also have adoptable adults at Pembroke PetSmart, 4421 Virginia Beach Blvd in Virginia Beach.

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!

We also appreciate donations! Find our most needed items
