Octavia is a gorgeous kitten with a fierce dignity and secret soft side. She recognizes that atop a pillow is the resting place most befitting her station. She loves to play and has incredibly fast and agile paws; stick toys, crinkle balls, and a wrestle with another kitten are all favorites, but she’s not picky. And once she trusts you to pick her up, she melts into a pile of plush, purring pudding who just wants to be loved.
Octavia is a beauty, and she knows it. She has a long, lean build, delicate paws, and an almost mink-like coat in a striking black tabby pattern. She has the look of a Bombay cat: wide ears, short nose, and huge, almost oversized bronze-brown eyes. She has classic cat dignity for days, and her pose is always just so—paws perfectly aligned, tail elegant and the like. She sometimes—okay, often—has an expression that one might misread as grumpy. But that’s just her naturally aristocratic face; she has presence.
Octavia is also one smart cookie. She is never the kitten caught causing mischief, although she probably instigated it and left her siblings holding the bag. If you’re taking a group of kittens to the vee-ee-tee, you’d best gather her up first—once she sees your plan in action, it’s all over. She’s a bit wary, but it’s served her well—she’s the only one in her group who doesn’t have a broken tail. And although she hasn’t been off the street for long, she’s already learning that she can relax more now that she’s safe indoors.
A little bit of grumpy face and earned skittishness can’t hide Octavia’s secret sweet side, though. Once she trusts you, her MO is this: Take a dignified pose just out of your reach. Wait for you to admire her beauty and dignity. Huff if you take too long. Give a disgruntled mew if you still haven’t noticed. Like a queen, permit your approach and accept your offering of pets and praise. Purr enthusiastically, flop over, and soak up the adoration with joy. Grumble if you stop. Climb into your lap to “encourage” you to continue.
Octavia is a striking, playful, smarty pants, secret-softie of a kitten. If a kitten who knows her worth, plays hard, gives face, and is ready to melt into snuggly pudding sounds like your thing, Octavia may be the perfect companion for you.

All of our kittens are currently in Foster Homes. They are not at our facility. Adoption counselors can arrange for you to meet the kittens once your application is approved. Kittens through 6 months $125 or 2 for $200; Kitties over 6 months $100 or 2 for $150.

Our Adoptable Kittens ARE NOT FERAL. We take them from the streets at a young age, and some are feral at the time of rescue. However, we spend many hours taming, socializing, and acclimating them to indoor life as a pet cat. They are currently friendly, healthy, and playful kittens who are just waiting for their special someone to take them home. All of our kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.

Go meet their pets
Our adoption center is located at 7962 Clyde Park SW Byron Center. We are open by appointment only once an application has been submitted and approved.
'Our adoption facility houses so many kitties. The rest are in foster homes. If you want to meet a specific kitty, please inquire with us before attending an adoption event, so we can make every effort to have the requested kitties available!
For every kitten that is adopted another kitten will have a chance at a healthy happy life. Kitten season has been especially busy this year and we have been at capacity for some time now. Sadly this means people who want to help the cats and kittens in their area are being turned away because of limited resources.

More about this rescue
Our mission is to improve the lives of feral cats through education and action, following the humane methods of Trap-Neuter-Return, and thus treating every feral cat with the compassion and respect they deserve.
The Humane Answer: Trap-Neuter-Return
If you've ever seen cats in an alleyway eating out of dumpsters, or blending into the wild habitat of a wooded area, and wondered about their condition and how you could help them, read on...
Some of them, having been lost or abandoned, have found their way to a colony where they can survive amongst other felines. But the majority live out their lives as feral, or "wild", cats. Being either born in the wild and never having had human contact, or reverting to a wild state after having been abandoned; the great majority of feral cats cannot be tamed. Generally, attempts at taming or adoption of ferals prove to be fruitless. Our efforts can be realized one-hundred-fold if we do the greatest good for the greatest number of ferals by stopping the cycle of reproduction.
Communities can help these forgotten cats by providing them with food, water, shelter, and spaying/neutering services through the "Trap-Neuter-Return" full management program.
Briefly, TNR consists of the humane trapping, sterilization, and return of feral cats to their familiar habitat to be cared for daily by dedicated volunteers. Kittens under eight weeks and/or tame cats are placed into adoption programs.
For more in-depth information on TNR, please visit our links page to visit the Alley Cat Allies web site or the Feral Friends web site.
