Kittens and cats in Saint Albans, Vermont

Meet Josie! Josie is a beautiful girl of 1 year and 5 months who has been here at FCAR since June! This little girl is curious and very attentive of her surroundings! She enjoys human attention and is often found asking those passing by her kennel to stop and chat with her!Since joining us, Josie has been diagnosed with Feline Herpes Virus (aka feline viral rhinotracheitis or FVR). What does this mean? FVR is a virus cats commonly are exposed to that can lead to symptoms such as upper respiratory/ eye problems. Don't let that scare you. While it is suggested that they not live with cats that are not also FVR+, with proper nutrition, an indoor lifestyle, and regular vet checkups cats with FVR can live long, happy lives!

Lenny is the sweetest little striped, brown tiger kitty. He has a white chest, white feet and white at the tip of his tail! There is a tenderness in the expression on his face and his heart is true. Though he is a bit shy, his eyes seem to say he wants to be loved and love in return. He came into the rescue with his brother, who was recently adopted, and an adult cat, Uncle Lee, who cared for the boys when they lived outside! It was so sweet to see! Now that Lenny's brother is in his forever home (with his friend Lindsay) and Uncle Lee is in foster care, Lenny's little face seems to be saying: “Pick me. It's my turn now!” He will be patient, though, because he knows what's meant to be will be. Lenny would do best with a feline friend.

This little dude showed up with Minerva at a laundromat. He is a refined gentleman, whose BIG purrs will surprise you, given his kitten stature. He's adaptable, adorable, and now...adoptable. He appurreciates a slow approach and peaceful, easy vibes. Come meet him at Queen City Cat Lounge to see for yourself.

Bobby is a sweet, playful 3-month-old guy with an adventurous streak and a very snuggly side. He loves romping around with his sisters, chasing toys, and exploring every corner of the room, then settling in for cuddle time when he’s tired. Bobby is food-oriented and easy to engage, making him a fun and affectionate companion. He’s wonderful with kids and has a gentle, loving nature that makes him an easy kitten to fall in love with At Queen City Cats, we believe two kittens are better than one! We only adopt kittens 6 months and younger out in pairs or to another household with another young cat for the kitten's social and emotional health. If you want to meet Bobby, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

This adorable, tenderhearted guy is Virgil. He is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, but his pleading eyes seem kittenish. In contrast, he carries himself with a peaceful resilience of an old, wise soul. His left eye was blinded because of an unfortunate event when he was very young, but he feels no pain and it doesn't affect his behavior. He would probably coexist well with respectful kids and he does great with other cats as long as the resources are plentiful and he gets his share of human affection.

Meet Forrest (aka Gerbes!) Forrest—also known as Gerbes, Gerber Baby, or Gerbie: Fully Loaded—is a 2.5-year-old tuxedo charmer with classic good looks and a heart that’s just waiting to open up. He may be a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you—Forrest warms up quickly and turns into a total sweetheart once he feels safe. His absolute favorite things? Cheek scratches and butt scritches (yes, those are non-negotiable). With his adorable tuxedo coat and gentle, affectionate nature, Forrest is the kind of cat who will quietly steal your heart and then proudly demand pets once he’s settled in. He’d do best in a loving home that gives him a little patience at the start—and a lot of scratches thereafter. A family with older, respectable kids or an adult-only house is the best for him.
