Rainbow Ribbon Kittens (2024)

08/10/2024

This little nugget is Daisy, a kitten with only three feet, but a wonderful personality and the most heart-melting green eyes. She was scooped up from a feral colony when a kind person noticed her hobbling on three feet at about 10 weeks old. It took a little while to earn her trust, but once she felt safe, she turned into the most loving, playful, goofy little girl. She's looking for a home; ideally one with another cat (she loves my three older females) and probably one that isn't super busy, as she is still nervous around new people. Sometimes really special kitties come along, and Daisy is one of them. I love all my fosters, but this little girl is just a little extra wonderful.

I've had such a fun time fostering this year! So many excellent kitties!
Tansy and Marigold were adopted last week by a lovely couple and are doing great. I'll miss them! But while they were up for adoption, I took in a single female kitten who is missing her right hind foot. I don't know exactly what her story is, but I'm guessing she was born this way. She gets around just fine, but I'm so glad a kind person caught her and saved her from a dangerous life on the streets of Syracuse. She's timid but she's starting to trust me and is becoming very sweet and playful. I love her 🤩
And then while I was visiting my friend back in CNY this weekend, I ended up coming home to VT with 5 surprise kittens, all about 5 weeks old. So we're back to a full house here. We still have Lily, the semi-feral mom of Jellybean, Peep and Cadbury. She's been acting as the nursery-marm (albeit with some reluctance). Thanks for babysitting, Lily.

New kittens on the block! Meet Marigold (orange), Tansy (torbie) and Snapdragon (gray & white). These babies are about 15 weeks old, and they were just spayed and neutered. They are real love bugs, and it's been really fun to have them here. Jellybean (black & white) had his special surgery since he only had, uh, one bean present. He's doing great and is looking for a new home. He is a truly handsome fella! Snapdragon has an adopter lined up, but Tansy and Marigold are still available. They would make a great pair! Tansy is more dominant and wants to be the queen, and Marigold is very happy following her lead.

Hi! We are seriously cute and ready for adoption! These boys are fun, sweet, goofy and curious about all life has to offer. Good with other cats and would do fine with dogs or kids with the right introductions. Email rainbowribbonkittens at gmail if you're interested in learning more.

It's adoption time!! Peep, Cadbury, Jellybean and their mom Lily are all up for adoption. Sorry I've been a bit absent- life is very busy at the moment! But the kittens have been doing great. Here's my dream scenario: Peep and Cadbury are good buddies and get adopted together and live their best lives. Jellybean is quite the mama's boy, and she certainly loves her kiddos, so some kind soul adopts them together. Because Lily is something of a special case. She's very timid around people. Some might even say semi-feral, though that could give the impression that she was aggressive or dangerous, which isn't true. She's just shy. And additionally, she's 100% deaf, and survived some trauma that left her with no teeth and damaged front legs. She gets around fine and eats both dry and wet food without issue, but I can't in good conscience place her in a barn with those disadvantages. So my hope/dream/fantasy is that some lovely human will be interested in adopting a cute-as-a-button kitten (black with white paws and whiskers!) and also giving a home to his mama where she can be safe and fed, even if she never becomes a certified lap-cat. Please reach out if you have any ideas or interest in either of these scenarios. All kitties will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, treated for parasites and fleas and microchipped. And very loved!

Peep, Cadbury and Jellybean are thriving! They are turning into such wonderful little fellas!

Soooo... I got some new babies a few weeks ago! They were born outside in a snowstorm but they survived and are thriving. They have a very scared, semi-feral mama taking care of them. She's done a great job keeping them clean and fed, and I've been providing her with lots of support to make sure everyone does well. I scooped them up in Syracuse on Easter, so the babies are Cadbury, Jellybean and Peep, and mom is Lily. They are 5 weeks old and doing great!

Calvin and Hobbes were adopted today! I am so pleased with their new home and all the love and care they will receive from their new humans. I'm going to miss having them around, but I'm happy too that they have graduated from foster care and have started their new life. They're already enjoying watching the bird feeders. Congrats Calvin & Hobbes!

07/03/2024

Calvin and Hobbes were neutered yesterday! They both did really well and are recovering nicely (though extra snuggles were in order). These little guys are ready for adoption and will make wonderful companions. They have extremely sweet personalities and are goofy, playful and really into couch time. Contact me at [email protected] to inquire or message on IG.

Calvin and Hobbes after a long day of being kittens

25/02/2024

We took a little kitten fostering break in January to work on some house projects, but a few weeks ago we scooped up these two little dudes from a rescuer in Oneida, NY. Calvin (gray) and Hobbes (buff) are incredibly sweet and affectionate kittens! They had a bout of kitten viruses, but with some time and TLC, they've rebounded tremendously and are thriving, energetic little cats now! They are scheduled to be neutered this week and then they'll be looking for their forever home.

Pretty kitties

21/10/2023

Spiffy is really enjoying her fall- board games, sitting on laps, trying out all the comfy sleeping spots... it might just be her favorite season!🍁🍂 Consider adopting Spiffy and Vogue to brighten up your Autumn and Winter and help you win at Catan!

15/10/2023

Chic, Dapper and Snazzy have been adopted! Congrats! That leaves lovely Spiffy and Vogue, who make a great duo. Spiffy is confident and affectionate, which I'm finding is helping Vogue overcome her natural shyness. Spiffy likes to explore and find little things to turn into toys, while Vogue likes to chat and run up and down the stairs and look for Spiffy. I'd love for them to go together, so if you're looking for a great pair, let me know! They are spayed, vaccinated, tested for FeLV and FIV and microchipped.

11/10/2023

We've had some amazing adoptions lately, and I'm so so pleased about all the wonderful places these kitties have ended up! I love my foster cats very much, so saying goodbye to them is difficult. But it is such a joy to see them flourishing in their new homes! Debonair (now Maxwell), Dandy (now Merlin), Chic (now Chickpea) and Dapper are all adjusting well and have fantastic new people to care for them. Congratulations to all the adopters!

Snazzy (pants) is perhaps the coolest cat of this litter. She's chill, friendly, loves to stare deeply into your eyes, and is generally a happy girl. She has all the spots and charm you could ever ask for, and she's ready for adoption! She's spayed, vaccinated, tested for FeLV/FIV, dewormed and microchipped. She would do well in a home with another cat, or adopted with one of her sisters. She would probably also do well with a dog with a careful introduction. Let me know if you'd like to meet her! She's really a love. ❤️

26/09/2023

We've had a flurry of adoptions and I'm very happy with the wonderful homes we found for Dandy, Debonair, and Chic. They're all doing great! We still have 4 fashionable kittens available. First pictured is Snazzy. She's all spots! And I love her little goatee. She's a sweet, confident gal and she loves people and being in the middle of the action. Next is Vogue. She's got the dark mask and an air of mystery. She's on the shyer side, but she's trusting us more and more each day. She purrs, and loves pets and snacks and is getting used to being held. Then comes Spiffy. She's the ambassador of the litter. She's perky and sweet and loves attention. She has a cute black dot on her nose and has a wonderful temperament. Lastly is Dapper. He is absolutely adorable. He's sweet and playful, but also is a dramatic little fella. He's the kid at school that gets extra parent/teacher meetings. He overreacts, is very vocal, and doesn't pick up on cues from the other cats very well. He's come a long way, but it's like he's trying to learn how to be an Earth-Cat when he in fact is from Mars. If any of this intrigues you, let me know! I have lots more to share about him. Email inquiries to [email protected]

Hey! Guess what! I have more kittens!
This is a mixed group coming from 3 different litters, but they are all delightful! I'll introduce everyone eventually, but pictured first is Spiffy, then Dapper in a bag, then Debonair and his presumed brother Dandy. Today I'm highlighting the last two, and especially Debon(air). He and his brother are about 5 1/2 months olds and are total sweethearts. Debon is confident, affectionate, playful and downright gorgeous. And the floof!! He was neutered last week and is all set with his vaccines and deworming protocols and is looking for a home! He loves the younger kittens and could be adopted with one of them, or he would be happy to join a home as a solo kitty or with other pets. He's a dreamboat and is going to make for a very nice pet. Dandy already has a pending adoption, but I'll post more about him soon. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or if you're interested in pursuing adopting!

Update: Pineapple has a home lined up! I'm very excited for him and his adopter! He's a darling cat. So that leave little Miss Chiffon, the sweetest little sassy calico you could ask for. She loves loves loves to be with people, and she will stare deep into your eyes at every opportunity. And lastly, a picture of Carrot, now named Archie, settling in well at his new home!

22/07/2023

We have two cake kittens left looking for homes. Chiffon is an adorable sweetheart of a calico and is full of purrs and antics and loves attention. She's a wonderful little kitty! Pineapple (Upside-Down Cake) is a big goofball. He got his name due to always being on his back as a baby. He would sleep belly up most of the time! He's a snuggler and is very people oriented. They are 13 weeks old and will be spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV, have their shots, be dewormed, microchipped and treated for fleas. If you're interested, please contact me at [email protected]

Things have been busy over here at Rainbow Ribbon Kittens! We've had a full house with the 7 cake kittens (Crumb, Bundt, Teacake, Rum, Chiffon, Carrot and Pineapple Upside Down), plus their beautiful mom Brownie and their aunty cat Pepper. Brownie was spayed and will be returning to her home this weekend. She did an amazing job raising her babies and I'm glad she gets to go home, but I'm going to miss her! Pepper, the black kitty at the end, was from the same household, but was attacked by a dog and barely survived. I took her on and with the help of my awesome coworkers, we saved her life by amputating one of her hind legs and nursing her through a nasty infection in her remaining hind leg. She's getting adopted by one of the vets that I work with and I'm so pleased that she has another lease on life! Go Pep!!
Three of the kittens are adopted, but there are 4 available and I'm accepting inquiries and applications. Reach out at [email protected]
Be well!

Time to meet the Cake Crew Kittens! First up is Rum(cake). He's a chill, sweet little guy! Actually, that's kind of a theme with this batch. Next up is tiny Teacake. She's inquisitive and remarkably adorable. The we have her bigger sister Chiffon(cake). She's got the calico sass and is the official spokes-kitten for the group. She lets me know exactly what's she's thinking at all times. Then comes little Crumb(cake). He's the only dark tabby of the batch and likes to do his own thing. He's really good at thinking outside of the box. For instance, who knew that water bowls make great kitten beds when they're empty? Crumb did. Next up is Bundt Cake. She's the biggest. Has been since day 1. She isn't exactly bossy, but she's very confident and knows her own mind. And then we have Carrotcake- he's sweet and refined and loves attention. And at the moment has shockingly blue eyes (this will change). Last up is Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. He really does love being on his back! A lot. They are 6 weeks old and well on their way to being weaned. I love them dearly.

17/05/2023

We have kittens!! Phenomenal mother cat Brownie is staying with us until the babies are weaned and she is spayed. She's doing an amazing job raising 7 milk-crazed kittens, and so far I've only needed to act as support staff for her instead of substitute mom. I'll make formal introductions later, but the Cake Crew is thriving! Tomorrow they will be 4 weeks old and they are learning the ways of the litter box. More content soon!

Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you have some time with friends and family and do what makes you feel merry and bright! Just a little post to say that Quinoa is staying with us as our new kitty. We love her to pieces and our older kitties, Shania and Louise have very much accepted her as their new little sister. Welcome Quinoa!
