Meet irresistible Baby Bubba who’s a big ol’ baby disguised as an adorable kitten! His squishy coat of extra luxe grey and white fluffiness is more picture-perfect than the cutest onesie, and makes him purrfectly dressed for all the holding and cuddling that are his most favorite thing! That pouty little sugar-dipped smile is designed to keep the snuggles coming! He won’t keep you up at night and takes excellent care of his grooming needs all by himself, but ignore him too long and, like a typical “little”, he may use his words to request an overdue hug! Playtimes with his fostermates are especially fun with little cloth toys and anything that rolls, but he’ll even make do with fluffing and patting your hair! He’s an undeniably gorgeous, fun-loving, and super affectionate boy.

A silky smooth coat of bright white makes her classic orange stripes stand out, and her sugar-dipped smile is irresistibly impish!

Zoey is the most reserved one of the bunch. While she’s not super shy, she is the one who’s the most cautious.

You can usually find her with one of her siblings. She enjoys a good box to hide in.

In true calico form, this girl is just a bit sassy. While she loves to play with her siblings, you can also find her getting in some alone time, whether it’s in a good box or on top of the couch.

When he’s not snacking, you can usually find him with his look alike sister, Rumi, or his brother, Bad Bunny, exploring and getting into all sorts of trouble. He loves climbing to the top of the cat tower to survey the house. His favorite toys are things that roll around or can be batted at.
