* Road to Recovery *

Thanks to all our amazing supporters, Chance is now officially on the road to recovery! We were able to get him in to see a vet and his diagnosis was very positive. Besides being prescribed some medication for having a slight fever and a little swelling, we are confident Chance is going to make a full recovery and be ready to find his forever home in a few weeks.

Thank you to to everyone who donated, commented and shared Chance's story. We know we can't save every single kitten that's in need, but are thankful for the ones we can. Chance will never know another day without love and we are so grateful that he has been given a "chance at a better beginning".

If you are looking for ways to get involved, please consider fostering or volunteering!

Meet Brooklyn! 🌟

This stunning kitten came from a rough start, and coped by clinging to her semi-feral nature. She’s skittish at first, but it turns to s***k really quickly, raring to play. After months in foster, she’s become an absolute sweetheart, and a bit too cocky. It takes her time to trust, but before long, this little firecracker becomes an incredibly loyal companion. Brooklyn sits outside doors waiting for her foster even if it’s only been minutes, loves her treats, and will take on a toy of any size!

Brooklyn loves to be held by her people, (aka, her terms) and snuggles right up with her head and tons of loud purrs. She’ll stay until you put her down once you’ve unlocked the bond. She loves to play and loves to befriend other cats, and will get your toes under the blankets at night. If you’re looking for a sweet girl who has made immense strides, Brooklyn will absolutely warm your heart. Brooklyn will need patience and time in her new home to blossom into the kitten she truly is. She would do best in a kid free environment, and she is currently not dog friendly, but exceptionally playful with new cats given a proper introduction!

Special Adoption Fee: $200.00
DOB: 07/02/2024
Female - Spayed

Brooklyn will need an experienced adopter who is willing to work with her and help her build her confidence around people.

Brooklyn is available for "Foster with Intent to Adopt". Learn more about this program below.

Today we took in a 6 month old kitten with some pretty severe injuries due to an animal attack. We have censored the image because of the graphic nature of his wounds. This sweet little boy was living on the streets with open wounds and we just knew we had to intervene!!!

Better Beginnings does not have the extra resources to take on a case like this but we couldn't just stand by and watch this precious boy suffer. We renamed him Chance because we truly feel like we are giving him a chance at a better beginning, but we really need your help!

Medical expenses and treatment is going to rack up a hefty vet bill for Chance and every little bit helps towards a full recovery and ultimately, finding him his forever home.

If you'd like to help by donating, your etransfer can be sent to: [email protected]

Thank you for your continued support in helping us give kittens a chance at a better beginning ❤

Meet Georgie

Georgie is the epitome of a goofy and lovable kitten. He is the largest of his litter, yet so gentle. Georgie is too busy a kitten to appreciate cuddles, just yet. He'd much rather play with his toys and pounce on his littermates for a good tussle. He loves his fellow buds and can often be found giving a good face wash to a willing recipient. He would be an excellent addition to an active home with other pets to keep him company.

Meet Harlem

This handsome guy is all about the action. It doesn’t matter if it’s a foot under the blanket, a toy thrown, or his own reflection in the mirror— Harlem is absolutely ready to play! He throws back the “punches” when playing, like a little kangaroo filled with fire. Simultaneously, Harlem falls asleep lots after a big day of play business, and will choose a cat or human as his bedtime companion. Snuggly, warm, and fond of loud purrs and biscuits, Harlem is a well rounded young kitten ready for his forever home. Harlem came from a tough situation. Almost three months in foster have helped this young man blossom from an anxious feral to a domestic kitten with a need for cuddles and pets on his own terms.

Meet Bronx (medium hair male) and Roddy (short hair female)!

Both kittens were born feral and trapped at the age of about 8-9weeks old. After much time and patience these 2 have started to realize that humans are not the enemy, but they think the vacuum is! They are still both shy, Roddy a little more than her brother, and will run for cover with loud and unexpected noise. In saying this once they know the coast is clear, out they come for pets and loving!

You will need to earn their trust but once you do they will reward you with so much love. Their eyes and purring say it all. Both also love to rub up to resident dogs and get along excellent with the other cats in the home. Would love to see them go together but if not other cat friendly pets in the home is a must. Please consider these beautiful kitties to complete your family. Not recommended with young children or loud busy homes.

Adoption fee: $200 each or $350 for the pair.

Tonka is the best friend your never knew you needed. This sweet and innocent boy was friendly from the day he was saved from a life of outdoor uncertainty. His beautiful personality shines through in everything he does. He's a real people pleaser and loves to entertain by running around and chasing various toys. His adorable "excitement spin" is his signature move and will put a smile on anyone's face. Tonka is loyal, loving, friendly and sweet. He gets along with everyone and would do well in a home with other pets that will keep him company. He's ready for the next chapter that ends with a forever home and family!

Meet Mars! 💕

Mars is a high energy, attention seeking kitten that wants to find a human who will bond with her. She's a wild child and may need a lot of extra play time in her new home.

She's the whole active-kitten package!
