🐾🫧 Meet Hubba Bubba — “Bubby” to His Friends 🫧🐾 Every great kitten crew has that guy — the one who’s equal parts playful, sweet, and impossible not to love. That guy is Hubba Bubba, better known as Bubby. Bubby is a young male kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves to play, especially when it involves wrestling, chasing, or tumbling around with his siblings. If there’s a game happening, Bubby is right in the middle of it, having the time of his life. But just like his namesake, Bubby is also wonderfully soft and sweet. When playtime winds down, he’s happy to settle in for cuddles, soaking up affection and purring contentedly. He’s a friendly, easygoing boy who enjoys companionship and thrives on love. Bubby gets along great with other cats and takes new things in stride, making him a wonderful fit for a home with existing pets. He’s the perfect mix of fun and affection — a kitten who will keep you laughing during the day and cozy at night. If your home could use a little extra joy and a whole lot of sweetness, Hubba Bubba is ready to stick around forever. 💕🐾

🦦🐾 Meet Otter Take Me Home — But You Can Call Him Otter 🐾🦦 Once upon a litter, there was a tiny black kitten who started life as the runt — but don’t let that fool you. Otter Take Me Home, lovingly called Otter, has proven that a little TLC goes a long way. With good care and lots of love, he’s quickly caught up with his siblings and is now right in the middle of all the fun. Otter is playful, adventurous, and always ready for action. He loves to wrestle and romp with his siblings and can often be found leading the charge into the next great kitten adventure. Brave and curious, he’s a natural explorer who isn’t afraid to check out new places, new friends, or even the resident dog. When playtime winds down, Otter switches gears into full cuddle mode. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who loves to snuggle up and purr — the perfect combination of fun and comfort. Otter gets along well with other cats, doesn’t mind dogs, and would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a confident, loving companion. If you’re ready for a little adventure, a lot of love, and a kitten who lives up to his name… Otter Take Me Home is ready to go with you. 💕🐾

Story
🎄 Meet Red Rider – A Little Christmas Miracle 🎄 On a cold day that felt straight out of a winter tale, a tiny orange-and-white kitten was heard crying for help from a pond. Cold, scared, and alone, this brave little soul refused to give up. And just in time, a kindhearted passerby heard his cries and knew she couldn’t leave him behind. She scooped him up, changing his story forever. That little kitten became Red Rider. When Red Rider arrived at rescue, he was a very sick boy — malnourished and loaded with parasites — but like any true Christmas miracle, love and care worked wonders. Thanks to a devoted foster and round-the-clock attention, Red Rider blossomed into the healthy, happy kitten he was always meant to be. Today, Red Rider is nothing short of magical. He’s sweet, affectionate, and full of joy. He loves to play, purrs like a tiny engine, and happily soaks up all the attention he can get. This courageous little guy has shown us just how much love can live in such a small package. Red Rider is now ready to find his forever family — the ones who will be his happily-ever-after. He still needs a few more vaccines and to be neutered, but don’t worry — that’s all covered by the rescue. We may never know how Red Rider ended up alone in a pond, but we do know this: he’s amazing, resilient, and has a very bright future ahead. This Christmas season, he’s wishing for one special gift — a home to call his own. Could that be with you? 🎁❤️

Story
Angel is a outdoor cat that hangs with a small outdoor community of cats that were once taken care of by a resident but has been abandoned. She would make a great barn cat if given warm shelter and food and water daily. I can imagine she is a great hunter having survived outside so long and would appreciate a warm home and daily love.
