Meet Butler 😍
Need someone to keep you warm on these chilly nights? Need someone to fill the silence in your quiet home? Need someone to bring constant laughter and joy to your family? Look no further than Butler 🖤 This handsome kitten is all that, and more! Come by to see for yourself just how sweet, snuggly, and playful he is 🥰
Butler has a condition called “myoclonic jerks”. This means he frequently has little twitches that might make him stumble around. He certainly doesn’t let this slow him down though! Butler’s quality of life is unaffected by this, and he doesn’t seem fazed by his twitches.

🤩ALUMNI UPDATE🤩

“Forrest update!! He is now Benji! He is the cuddliest, sleepiest and the biggest goof ball that we have ever met! Although we joke about we should have kept his name because his favourite place is the trees! Whether it’s adventuring through them or stripping bark for better chewing!”

Meet Nova ✨
Nova is a lovely young lady, looking for a fresh start with a patient family. She’s a very affectionate kitten, however is easily overwhelmed. She spends most of her days hiding in her bed, although she is growing more comfortable day by day. Once she starts getting some attention, she can’t get enough! With a gentle hand and a calm environment, we know she will thrive. We would love to introduce you to Nova, so when you come by for a visit, please ask to meet her 🥰

Meet Celeste 💕
This pretty little diva is ready to steal your heart, and take over your home! Celeste is someone who isn’t afraid to share what’s on her mind. She has her boundaries and will respect those who respect her. She’ll let you know when she’s ready for affection, she’s really a lovely girl! On the other hand, she isn’t opposed to some alone time. She’s all about self care, and we love that for her 💅 Celeste would be the purrfect companion for someone who is looking for company, but isn’t necessarily looking to be smothered in cuddles 24/7. Is that you?
