Hope you didn't forget! Five Guys is hosting a community event for us November 21, 2024 from 2pm to 9pm!

This is one of the easiest ways to support Billy the Kidden Rescue in our mission to help save kitties one meow at a time!

During the upcoming gift giving season, please remember living animals are not "gifts" to give and be returned after the holidays. They are commitments for life, not trash to be thrown out with the wrapping paper.

Animals for Adoption 🐾 We strive to make the best possible matches between an adopter and their new companion. Take a look at the puppies and dogs, cats and kittens, and other animals who are looking for their new homes and families here: https://www.norfolk.gov/275/Our-Animals

Adoption Process 🐾
1. Come by our shelter at 5585 Sabre Road during Adoption Hours or attend one of our adoption events to meet available animals. Adoption applications are only accepted in person!
2. Once you find a pet you connect with, ask an adoption counselor to meet the pet. The adoption counselor can answer any questions you have about the pet or the adoption process. We’ll talk you through any medical or behavioral needs the pet has and offer tips on introducing a new pet to your home.
3. If it’s a match, complete an adoption application! The application asks for basic information that we need to complete the adoption paperwork, like your name, address, and phone number.
4. When your application is completed, hand it back to your adoption counselor. They’ll determine what your new pet needs to go home. Many, but not all, animals can go home the same day!
5. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog at home, we may ask you to bring your dog to the shelter to meet the NACC dog. We don’t know a lot of history for the pets in our care and want to be sure the dogs play safely.
6. If your new pet is not yet spayed or neutered, they will go home with you as a foster pet until their spay/neuter surgery date.

Come in person for more details on adopting ✨ Adoption Hours are 1:30 to 6:00 pm every day (except closed on Wednesdays)

Feline Fact Friday ...

What is a feral cat?
-A truly unsocialized cat that will typically run and hide from humans.

Please be careful not to label every cat you see outside as 'feral.' Many outdoor cats were once owned pets and are now scared/uneasy about trusting humans. We wish all cats could have homes, but unfortunately, that just isn't possibly right now!

Please be kind to stray and feral community cats as all they're trying to do is survive. Provide food, water, shelter AND make sure they receive essential vet care. Feeding community cats is not enough - we must end the suffering many face because they aren't spayed/neutered & vaccinated.

Bringing in a stray cat to some shelters may allow that cat to get adopted. But bringing in a cat you label feral or that is truly feral to a shelter will more than likely get that cat euthanized.

Learn about trap/neuter/return (TNR) do you can help both stray and feral community cats - https://www.friendsofferalfelines.org/how-to-tnr.

Our Pet of the Week is the majestic Jasper!

Jasper is almost 3 years old. He's a sweet boy with lots of love to give, but he's also quite nervous in new situations. Jasper needs a special someone who can be extra patient with him as he adjusts to his new home. He isn't a fan of loud noises, so we recommend no children or other pets in the home. Bonus points if his person is home most of the day!

All the extra work getting Jasper settled into the house will be oh so worth it once you see how playful and snuggly he becomes once he's comfortable. Take a chance on this scaredy cat, and visit him today!

Jasper thanks Purina for providing delicious food for all felines and canines at the shelter as they wait for their forever homes.

Morning! We have been given 600 cans of Ziwi Peak cat food. Very good quality. We are offering to anyone interested. Just need to pick it up in the Thoroughgood area of Virginia Beach. Message us directly.

Please be patient when you get a new pet dog or cat. Rushing them back to the shelter or rescue isn’t fair to them. They’re just scared.

Okay Paxton Patrons, I need your help!

Mochi was all set to go home a few months back but unfortunately his eye pressure went up exponentially (a whopping 40😱) which forced me to hold onto him longer to monitor the eye. 👁

In this time, I have realized that Honey Badger, his roommate, ADORES him and Mochi ADORES her. I try not to do bonded pairs unless the bond is genuine. Legitimate bonded pairs are actually much more rare than you think.🐈‍⬛🐈

Although I think Mochi would do well on his own, Honey Badger hates every other kitten and cat in this house. Actually, she hates me too but tolerates me for the wet food. She only has eyes for Mochi.👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨They snuggle. They cuddle. They play. Mochi even gives Honey back rubs. It's precious.🥰

I know everyone wants Mochi but I would love to find a home that could love them both. Honey Badger is a bit of a.....well a bit of a brat. She lives up to her name. She's sassy and saucy but cute as a button. I would hate to take her only friend away from her.

So I know she is a hard kitten to push. She will be one that bonds to just one person or maybe never bonds at all but she deserves a home that can love her and be patient with her. So I'll give this the old college try and see if there is a family out there for both of them.👨‍👩‍👦

Please help me share these 2 babies. I want to see them happy and healthy and thriving in a home together. Help make their little dream come true!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Benny is a sweet, happy younger guy in need of a loving forever home!

Benny is a 1 year old hound mix with a love of fun. He has lots of energy and would do best in a single family home with a fenced-in backyard. Benny is still mastering his manners, so we think a home with children 6 or older would be best. He has shared a kennel with other dogs while at the shelter with no problems - although a younger, energetic playmate would likely be the best choice for him.

Visit him today!

Hi, my name is Fender! 👋

🧡I am a sweet 4 month old girl who loves playing with toy wands! I was found outside with my brother Gibson. If you want two kittens check him out! I am sweet and loving and so thankful not to have to spend the winter outside. I must say I like the inside life a lot better!

🧡I love to climb a tall cat tree and just watch what’s going on! I am a very quiet girl and well mannered. My foster mom has enjoyed caring for me and knows I will make a nice addition to any home. Wouldn’t you love to take beautiful lil me home?
