Bubbly 💛
**AT HUNTERS KITTEN LOUNGE**
F, 2 years

If you’re looking for something for your new year to bring a little warm and fuzzy feeling to your life, Bubbly could be your girl. This sweetheart is as adorable as her name suggests. She is a gentle, affectionate kitty with a soft chirp that will melt your heart. She adores belly rubs and will happily seek out human companionship. Though a bit shy at first, once she warms up to you, she’ll shower you with affection—rubbing against your ankles and nuzzling you with love. She’s not one for drama and brings a calm, loving presence wherever she goes.

Bubbly gets along well with other cats but tends to prefer the company of humans. She can adapt to kids who are respectful and dogs who would more so leave her alone.

Bubbly is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

You can also book a visit to meet her at Hunter's Kitten Lounge! https://hunterskittenlounge.org/appt-booking

Our first mama and tiny babies of 2025 ✨
Technically a last litter of 2024 since mama was pregnant then. These babies look good so far; mama has done a great job 💕

However, not all end of year litters are well with their health. Mamas are tired from having back to back to back…even a 4th back of litters like clockwork. Fighting off toms, defending themselves and young from predators and environmental risks, not to mention always searching for food. They’re tired, worn out, drained…. Yet, they know no different when raising babies. As we said before, mama cats are strong and amazing with their capabilities, but deserve a life of more peace. How can this be done?

✂️✂️SPAY✂️✂️

Whether inside pets or outdoor community cats, spay is the way! This will prevent them from trying to escape if indoors, decreased chance of cancer and other illnesses, or pyometra where their uterus fills with an infection of bacteria and pus and can be quickly life threatening! Plus who wants to deal with cats in heat? 😅

Remember, kittens CAN go into heat at just 4 MONTHS of age!! We’ve seen it countless times first hand.

There are many low cost clinics locally and clinics who take payment plans. Care Credit is also an option to apply for! Just takes a google search. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us as well for help and resources!

Send love and positivity to mama and her babies that everyone stays healthy and well 💕
Please note we are not taking inquiries for the babies at this time!

GWEN UPDATE 💕
After many tests and drs visits, we finally have a diagnosis as to why our girl is staying smol…
It has been confirmed that Gwen has pituitary dwarfism!

What does this mean? Basically Gwen’s pituitary gland is not producing enough growth hormones as normal. She did also get tested for EPI (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) and does not have this. However, we are still dealing with some GI issues. This is all newer to our vet, but she is doing great figuring out Gwen’s pieces of her journey and we are still taking it day by day.

How smol is smol? She’s about 6 months old and a little over 2 lbs. For perspective, kittens that are 6 months old should be closer to 6lbs and 2lb kittens are closer to 2 months of age!

Don’t worry though, she is SPOILED as ever by her foster mom! As you can see she wears little sweaters and loves the heating pad. Kitties with dwarfism tend to have a little extra trouble thermoregulating. She also is an iPad kid now and has a bedtime routine with her foster mom. When she’s ready for bed and her foster mom isn’t, she will find her and yell it’s bedtime as she goes back to her bed.

We have always been inspired to stay curious with fragile kittens as the has shared. Cases like Gwen’s are not as common so we are happy to have kept pushing for further answers and having wonderful vets who would help us do so! One of our goal’s with Gwen is to spread more awareness and education about pituitary dwarfism.

Gwen is not available for adoption at this time and we are not accepting inquires for her as we continue figuring out her journey. Thank you for understanding!

Choco ❤️
M, 8.5 months

This sweet baby house panther is very friendly and lovable, easily adapting to new environments. He loves being petted and having a lot of attention. Choco is also a very confident and curious boy with a bunch of energy. He loves all kinds of toys and his foster mom often spends time playing with him due to his higher energy level. Those moments with his human are some he enjoys very much! Once he is done playing, Choco will go and snuggle with his foster mom or his sister Kuromi. He is a funny cat that will keep you entertained, but a lovebug to bring so much joy 🙂

With his sweet natured and easy going personality, Choco will settle into any environment pretty quickly. He gets along with all people - adults, kids…anyone! Cats are great friends, especially if they’re playful with him and tolerate kitten antics. He’s young enough to adapt to dogs with proper introductions.
Available Sibling: Kuromi

Choco is neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

First they’re sour, then they’re sweet…
Meet one of our Sour Patch Kids, Onyx and look through his journey so far ❤️

This boy came to us after being abandoned on someone’s porch in the early hours of a cold November morning (it was a local TNR advocate who saw the person dump him on their ring camera). Onyx was by himself, freezing, and only 3 weeks of age. His finder took him to VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group in Oro Valley) to get quick care, which in turn we were then contacted.

For the first week of his life, Onyx lived in an incubator at a higher temp than normal for his age as he couldn’t regulate his body temperature normally. He also had an upper respiratory infection causing awful congestion, eye issues, and issues breathing. He also wouldn’t eat right away and had to be syringe fed.

Medications were started right away and nebulizing treatments. Some relief was provided as he started eating on his own with time and being more active. However, to this day he is still dealing with a congestion issue our protocols aren’t conquering 100%. He’s finally big enough for neuter so we will have our vet check for a polyp (mass in his nose) while he’s sedated and figure out what’s next if there isn’t one.

All of this rough start and sickness aside, Onyx is not phased one bit! He plays like crazy and has grown like a w**d. We joke he’s part puppy with his play style 😅

Send him good vibes that we find him full comfort soon!

(Onyx is NOT available for adoption at this time while we keep figuring out his journey. We are NOT accepting any pre adopts or inquiries)

Babies having babies already?! 😣

This tiny girl came to us last week from with her 3 kittens. When they all arrived to our care, we thought she was a kitten too and mama didn’t come with. Well, turns out she did, just gave literally everything she had in her to her babies. The trio are SO healthy and fat, old enough to be weaned; she was skin and bones and just a baby herself. This is most likely her first litter and WILL be her last. We are happy to have this sweet girl in our care to provide her a better life.

Mama cats can be truly amazing with their sacrifices. Protecting, fighting for, nurturing their babies by instinct, no matter circumstances. While admirable, they deserve a life where they aren’t constantly defending their young and themselves from Toms, disease, predators, and worse.

Our point, please SPAY SPAY SPAY!! Now and soon are the times females are going into heat which produces an outrageous kitten season explosion. This includes babies that can get pregnant at just 4 months old! We see it often sadly. So let’s help make a difference for these girls!

There are many low cost and even free resources locally and in your area. It just takes a phone call, email, or google search to change a life! No Kill Pima County lists the options for Tucson. Whether personal or cats you’re caring for outside, PLEASE SPAY!! ✂️✂️

Don’t forget the males too, they’re just as bad or worse! 😅

Kuromi 💕
F, 8.5 months

This beauty is a good mix of playful and sweet! Kuromi enjoys snuggling once she’s comfortable (which doesn’t take long). Her energy level is medium and she can easily entertain herself by playing fetch with spring toys! You can also find her wrestling or chasing her brother. She also loves to sunbathe by the window and watch birds.

Kuromi enjoys other cats, especially playful ones. She can adapt to respectful dogs and kids with proper introductions.

Kuromi is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

FIV Fun Fact Friday!

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is something we see often with strays we intake from outside. Most commonly cats get FIV from mating or fighting, especially Toms. For example one of our new cheeky FIV+ boys pictured, Blue Boy. He’s been roaming as a stray after his owner passed it seems, but would sneak inside his finder’s home and sleep in their bed. Blue truly wanted to be inside and now we get to give him that chance! ☺️

While this might sound scary, FIV cats can live absolutely normal and overall healthy lives. They can even live with other cats who are FIV negative just fine! Think about giving them a chance next time you’re looking to adopt as they often sadly get overlooked.

This is just another reminder why spay and neuter is so important! Less chances of breeding and fighting = less risk of FIV!

We have a few other cats with FIV who co-exist well with feline friends and are true gems just waiting for their forever homes! See website to check them out!

Melody 2 💜
F, 3 years

This sweet girl was found abandoned with her newborn babies in a box in Mexico. She was luckily rescued and really enjoys indoor life! Melody is very laid back and is often found laying next to her person’s side. However, when she wants attention is on her terms. Though she has playful moments, her energy level is lower and she can easily entertain herself. A favorite pastime is sunbathing on a window hammock.

Melody would do better in a quieter home and could be the center of your world happily. She could adapt to more laid back dogs who leave her alone and older respectful children if applicable. For other cats, those who respect her space she could adapt to.

Melody is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

Lady Whiskerdown 💜
**AT HUNTERS KITTEN LOUNGE**
F, 8 years

If you’re looking for a companion to come home to that brings a feeling of not being alone, Lady Whiskerdown is the one! While she may not have the town gossip to share, she stays true to herself always. She’s a mature lady and can keep to herself, but also does enjoy the company of humans. Since she first arrived, Lady W has come a long way; once terrified, she now seeks out affection and loves pets, often asking for them with a cute little chirp while she leans her head into your hand. When she's done getting love she may give you a little bop on the hand (without claws) to say she's had enough for now.
This beautiful girl does have a playful side. Lady likes crinkle balls and will often play by herself when no one is watching (or so she thinks!) or watch some cat tv. She also loves to be up on a table or surface, like a desk. If you don't want a cat on a counter, she is not for you.

Lady is very petite and in order to maintain her weight, she needs wet food 2-3 time daily as well as dry food accessible always. She loves wet food time and when she's hungry she will chirp softly then scurry to her favorite spot on the HKL office desk eagerly waiting to eat. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen!

Lady Whiskerdown does well with cats. She would be best with gentle kids if applicable who can read her body language. We aren’t certain how she is with dogs, but those who leave her alone would be ideal if applicable.

Lady Whiskerdown is spayed, current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

Occipital is young enough to adapt to many lifestyles with proper introductions.
Available Siblings: Occipital

Occipital is neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. If interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

Frontal ❤️
M, 2 months

This handsome baby house panther loves people and will cry at his foster's feet to be held and given attention. He has learned that to get all the wet food, he just needs to be as cute as can be and to rub against people's legs. Frontal doesn't even mind dogs and thinks they can be a little fun too after time to adjust. He knows you'll do the logical thing and plan to bring him home as soon as possible!

Frontal is young enough to adapt to many lifestyles with proper introductions.
Available Siblings: Parietal, Occipital

Frontal is neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. If interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

Parietal ❤️
M, 2 months

Hello there, I'm Parietal. I'm an active kitty who is often running around and playing with all the toys. I like jumping on cat scratchers so I can get up close to my foster mom for attention. Besides playing, being held and pet are also a few of my absolute favorite things. When not cuddling with people or my siblings, I want food, or something to chase. Use the parietal part of your brain to hold me in your arms and take me home to my forever family!

Parietal is young enough to adapt to many lifestyles with proper introductions.
Available Siblings: Occipital

Parietal is neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. If interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please fill out the adoption application on our website 🙂

Sweetest gentleman Will got a bio update as he’s proven he IS a lap cat and loves humans. He also loves cozy places for naps and is ready to find his forever home to live out his golden years 🧡

Come meet him at ! He’s sure to steal your heart ☺️

⭐️PENDING ADOPTION⭐️
Will 🧡
**AT HUNTERS KITTEN LOUNGE**
M, 12 years

This handsome gentleman is looking for a quiet, cozy place to live out his golden years after living outdoors. Will is on the more quiet and independent side. He enjoys being in the company of humans and is a lap cat! He is a little shy at first, but with time to feel safe in new surroundings, he will find his favorite spots and become more confident to hangout during the day, accepting all the love he can with his sweet head butts.

Will co-exists well with other cats who don’t pester him. Older, respectful kids are preferred if applicable. For dogs, those who are more laid back and ignore him are ideal.

Will did test positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), but is overall healthy! He CAN live with other kitties fine, as long as they don’t fight roughly as FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds.
Here’s a link with more info: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv
