Audi is an happy little kitten with a non-stop purr. He gets his name due to that constant rythm of purrs when he's around his people. Audi is a typical kitten that loves to play and explore but he also enjoys a good lap and being petted and cuddled. Audi was trapped at a dumpster, where his mom and siblings were trying to survive. He came to us a little bit older, so he was a bit shy at first, but got over it quickly. He now scurries around like any other kitten, looking for pets and love. He likely will need a little extra time with the transition to a new home, but we expect him to come out of his shell quickly as he did with us.He is almost all black, but does have the cutest little white bikini on his underside.

Alfa Romeo is a sweet kitty, just a little untrusting still. His first response to new things is still to hiss first, then explore after. He is warming up more each day, but won't be ready for a home until he gets past this stage and may still need some patience from an adopter. Alfa was trapped at a dumpster, where his mom and siblings were trying to survive. He came to us a little bit older, thus the skepticism about new things. He will require a steady hand to make sure he doesn't become a wallflower kitten that hides all the time. But with patience this boy continues to blossom.His siblings Austin and Portia are also up for adoption.** Alfa Romeo is a pre-adoption candidate, meaning he can't go home right away, he has to be neutered before home delivery. **

Austin is an adventurous, brave kitten mostly focused on play time but he still likes his pets and loves from his humans. He was the first of his siblings to warm up to people and continues to show that confidence on a daily basis - always the first to try something new. Austin was trapped at a dumpster, where his mom and siblings were trying to survive. He came to us a little bit older, so he was a bit shy at first, but got over it quickly, showing his siblings the ropes of how to wrap humans around your little paw. When he does tire out a bit, he can be cuddly, but it doesn't last long before he's off on a new adventure.His siblings Portia and Alfa Romeo are also up for adoption.** Austin is a pre-adoption candidate, meaning he can't go home right away, he has to be neutered before home delivery. **
