12. Chip
Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta








Chip, Tiny Explorer, Full-Time Sidekick
Chip has been through more than most, but you’d never know it by the way she carries herself. After being rescued from a house fire where she and other cats were left behind, Chip decided life was still meant to be lived fully, and she does exactly that every single day.
She’s confident, social, affectionate, and full of personality. The kind of kitten who doesn’t wait for life to come to her, she walks right into it.
And honestly… she’d probably tell you that herself:
Hi. I’m Chip.
I’ll be the one greeting you at the door, yes, every time. You’re welcome.
Read more about Chip
I don’t really do the whole ‘hiding under the couch’ thing. I prefer a strong entrance. Tail up, little strut, tiny meow… make eye contact… you get it.
People? Love them. Cats? Also love them.
Honestly, I’m trying to be friends with everyone.
I’m what some call a little shadow. I prefer devoted sidekick.
If you’re walking to the kitchen, I’m coming. If you’re folding laundry, I’m supervising.
If you’re exploring the house, I’ll be exploring with you. I like to know what you’re doing at all times, not because I’m nosy… because I’m invested.
I take my job as Professional Explorer very seriously.
New box? Inspecting it. Cabinet opened? Investigating. Mysterious lizard in the projector? Still tracking the case. I also have the cutest little meow, which I use strategically.
My fur is extremely soft , I’ve been told this is important information.
I love toys, I love people, I love other cats, and I fully intend to befriend every living being in my vicinity.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a confident kitten with personality, curiosity, excellent greeting skills, and strong friendship goals… I’m available!

Chip is about 7.5 months old as of April 2026 and truly the kind of kitten who brings life into a home. She is fully vetted, microchipped and tested negative for FIV and FelV.

13. Poppyseed Bagel
Adult · Female · Bobtail / Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta






Ms. Poppyseed Bagel is a stunning medium-haired calico bobtail and the proud mama of the Breakfast Club, but dont let the title fool you—this beautiful girl is barely more than a kitten herself.
Estimated to be only 1-2 years old, Ms. Bagel is young, playful, affectionate, and absolutely delighted to be living the indoor life. Now that she no longer has to worry about surviving outside or raising babies on the streets, she finally gets to enjoy being a kitten at heart herself.
Read more about Poppyseed Bagel
She adapted to home life immediately, used the litter box perfectly, rediscovered the joy of toys, and settled right into the comforts of soft beds, regular meals, and human attention. She has an impressive purr motor and seems endlessly happy to finally be safe. And yes, that adorable little bobtail is completely natural.
What truly makes Ms. Bagel special is how incredibly people-oriented she is. She absolutely adores attention and has never met a stranger. Every new person is greeted like an old friend, and she wastes no time trotting over to ask for pets, affection, and admiration. She thrives on human companionship and simply wants to be wherever the love is.
She's very food motivated, but she's wonderfully polite and has never tried to raid food or counters. She gets along well with other cats, especially her kittens, and she'd be happy to be adopted with one of them if you're looking for a pair. That said, she would also make an exceptional solo cat, as her greatest joy comes from bonding with her people and soaking up all the love and attention she can get.
Ms. Bagel is the proud mom of The Breakfast Club—Egg, Cheese, Toast, Donut, and Oatmeal. Ms Bagel adores he babies, and is especially close with Toast, her gentle little daughter. The two share a beautiful bond, and Toast clearly looks to her mama for companionship and confidence. We would absolutely love to see Ms. Bagel and Toast adopted together. While she adores her kittens, she's also perfectly ready to start the next chapter of her life as the center of someone's world.
**We offer a discounted adoption fee when you adopt a pair of kitties!
Check out more photos and videos of Ms Bagel here:

Ms. Bagel is estimated to be between 1-2 years old.

Microchipped

Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations
Treated for parasites

14. Donut
Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Female · Bobtail (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta





The Calico Who Would Like Your Attention, Please
Donut has appointed herself CEO of the Breakfast Club. Her siblings did not vote on this, but they seem to have accepted the arrangement.
This adorable 4-month-old calico is the lovey-dovey one of the bunch. She was the first of her siblings to discover that humans are excellent for cuddles, and now there is absolutely no going back.
Read more about Donut
Walk into the room? Donut is coming to say hello. Petting another kitten? Donut has reviewed the situation and determined that your hand would be better utilized petting her. Touch her back and her little purr motor starts almost instantly. She is affectionate, social, confident, and VERY serious about getting her fair share of love—which, according to Donut, is all of it.
Her other great passion in life is plastic springs. Give Donut one of those tiny colorful springs and you've basically given her the keys to Disneyland. She'll chase it across the room, bat it around for ages, proudly carry it in her mouth, and happily entertain herself like it's the greatest invention humanity has ever produced.
She's playful and loves running and wrestling with her siblings, especiallu Cheese and Toast, but she's also wonderfully independent and can entertain herself when everyone else is busy. And if she hears a Churu tube opening? Congratulations, you've summoned Donut.
Because Donut is a kitten, she must be adopted with another kitten or into a home with a young, playful resident cat. Here is some information about why we have this policy:
http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens
**We offer a reduced adoption fee when you adopt two kittens
Donut absolutely adores her Breakfast Club siblings and is happiest having a kitten buddy around for all her adventures. She has an especially sweet relationship with Cheese and Toast, and we would love to see her go home with one of them
Check out more photos and videos of Donut and the Breakfast Club here:

Donut is about 4 months old as of Sep 2026. She is fully vetted, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, up to date on her vaccines, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

15. Egg
Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Female · Bobtail (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta






Part Kitten, Part Bunny, 100% Entertainment
Egg is the only Breakfast Club kitten who inherited her mama Ms. Poppyseed Bagel's adorable bobtail, except Egg's takes a funny little right-angle turn, giving her the appearance of a tiny bunny who somehow infiltrated a litter of kittens.
And honestly? The bunny tail fits, because Egg rarely stops moving.
She has been the bravest and most outgoing of the Breakfast Club from day one. Even when the family was still living outside, Egg was the first baby brave enough to venture out of the bushes and investigate what was happening. Indoor life has only expanded her opportunities for adventure.
Read more about Egg
Egg wakes up every morning with places to go, toys to attack, siblings to investigate, and apparently a very full calendar. Her absolute favorite toys are anything long, stringy, and flingable. She doesn't just want to catch the toy—she wants to steal the entire thing from you and triumphantly run away with it, wand and all. Coordination is optional.
One of her signature moves is discovering a sibling peacefully sleeping in the bowl of the cat tower, climbing underneath it, hanging from the bottom like a tiny bat, and attempting to initiate play through the fabric. Why play on the cat tree when you can play upside down underneath it?
For all her ridiculous antics, Egg is also incredibly sweet. She loves playing from the comfort of your lap and, once she has finally exhausted her seemingly unlimited supply of kitten energy, she may even fall asleep there. Her tiny body also produces an impressively enormous purr when she's in the mood for love.
Because Egg is a kitten, she must be adopted with one of her siblings, preferably Oatmeal or Toast who are her favorites, or into a home with a young, playful resident cat. Here is some information about why we have this policy:
http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens
Check out more photos and videos of Egg and the Breakfast Club here:

16. Oatmeal
Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta





Oatmeal, Tiny, Sweet & Slightly Ridiculous
Oatmeal is the tiniest member of the Breakfast Club and the kitten who inspired the whole theme. With her enormous soulful eyes and sweet little face, she just felt soft and comforting—like oatmeal. And the Breakfast Club was born.
She’s a gentle, affectionate girl who likes to observe before jumping in, but underneath that thoughtful exterior is a complete goofball. Her favorite hobbies include ping-pong soccer, hunting Crocs, and starting wrestling matches with her siblings that she immediately regrets... only to start them again.
Read more about Oatmeal
Oatmeal takes a little time to feel comfortable with new things, but once she does, her sweet side shines. She’ll come investigate what you’re doing, gaze up with those huge eyes, and settle onto a cozy lap.
She absolutely adores her siblings, especially Egg. Egg’s fearless personality and Oatmeal’s thoughtful nature make them a wonderful pair, and we would love to see them adopted together.
Oatmeal must be adopted with a sibling, preferably Egg, or into a home with a young, playful resident cat.
Why two kittens?

17. Toast
Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 13 mi from Atlanta





Some kittens charge into the world without a second thought. Toast prefers to watch, learn, and decide who deserves her trust, and when she does, there is something incredibly special about being chosen by her.
Toast is the gentle soul of the Breakfast Club. She is thoughtful, curious, playful, and a little more sensitive than her siblings. She likes to take new things at her own pace, but underneath that cautious exterior is a sweet little girl who is becoming more confident every day.
And don't let her quiet nature fool you: Toast LOVES to play.
Read more about Toast
In fact, she may secretly be the Breakfast Club's biggest toy collector. She loves just about every toy she meets and has a habit of gathering her favorites around her chosen sleeping spot until she's created her own little treasure pile. Wand toys are especially irresistible, and once she gets going, this seemingly reserved little kitten will launch herself into the air and perform some truly impressive acrobatics.
Toast is also incredibly curious about her humans. She may not always want to be the center of attention, but she wants to know what you're doing. She'll quietly follow her foster mom around with her enormous owl eyes, observing everything and keeping tabs on the household.
As she has learned that people can be trusted, her soft and affectionate side has started to emerge. Toast isn't the kitten who gives her trust away immediately, and that's part of what makes earning it so meaningful. She is a gentle girl who will thrive with someone patient enough to let the relationship develop naturally and enjoy watching her blossom.
Her greatest source of confidence is her family. Toast absolutely adores her mama, Ms. Poppyseed Bagel, and being near her helps Toast feel safe and secure. Their bond is incredibly sweet, and our dream would be to see this mother-daughter pair adopted together. Toast is also very close with her fearless sister Egg, whose outgoing personality makes her another wonderful companion for her.
Give her time. Give her kindness. Give her a pile of toys. Toast will take care of the rest.
Because Toast is a kitten, she must be adopted with one of his family members, preferably her mom Ms Bagel, or her favorite siblings Egg or Donut, or into a home with a young, playful resident cat. Here is some information about why we have this policy:

18. Dill the Queen
Young (8 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta










Dill — The Queen, The Comedian, The Supermodel
Some kittens are cute. Dill is a whole personality.
Dill is about 7.5 months old, ultra-confident, ridiculously affectionate, and convinced she belongs in the middle of everything. Sit down and she'll bunny-hop over to launch herself into your lap. Talk to her and she'll tilt her head like a tiny puppy. Pick her up and the purring starts.
She's hilarious, athletic, and a little ninja with feather toys. She also LOVES people, including strangers, greeting visitors with head bumps and purrs like they've been friends forever.
Read more about Dill the Queen
Dill can coexist with other cats, but she doesn't need one to be happy. People are her thing. She wants to be included, adored, and preferably treated like the queen she knows she is.

19. Miya
Young (6 months) · Female · Abyssinian / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta







Meet Miya, Tiny Queen, Big Personality
Don’t let her petite size fool you. Miya is a perfect mix of sweet, sassy, playful, and just a little dramatic.
She absolutely LOVES feather toys and will leap and pounce after them like a tiny lioness. She can be a little shy in a brand-new environment, but once she feels safe, her goofy, curious personality comes right out. She’s affectionate, gentle, and an exceptionally good sport about handling and vet care.
Read more about Miya
Miya’s favorite person in the world is her sister, Mira. They play, nap, explore, and snuggle together, and they bring out the best in each other. Their bond is incredibly special, so Miya and Mira must be adopted together.
At about 7 months old, Miya is still very much a kitten: curious, playful, silly, and happiest when she has her sister beside her and something fun to chase.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and Miya has plenty to say. Check out her album to see this tiny queen showing off:

20. Bubbles
Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta










Bubbles: A Golden Retriever in a Kitten Body
Bubbles is quite possibly one of the most affectionate kittens you'll ever meet. Her favorite thing in the world is being picked up, placed on your shoulder, and carried around while you go about your day. She'll happily stay up there as long as you'll let her, purring the entire time.
She's also hilariously conversational. Call her name and she'll often answer you and come running. She wants to be involved in whatever you're doing and approaches life with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever trapped in a tiny kitten body.
Read more about Bubbles
Bubbles absolutely LOVES other cats. Even when a new foster arrives, she might give one obligatory little hiss before deciding, approximately three seconds later, that they've clearly come to be her new best friend. She loves playing, cuddling, and sleeping with her feline friends.
Her favorites are Powerpuff and Buttercup, and she would love to be adopted with either of them. She can also happily make friends with another young, social cat with proper introductions.
Because kittens learn important social skills through play and companionship, Bubbles must be adopted together with one of her siblings or into a home with another young, playful cat. Here is some information about why we have this policy:
Two Kittens Are Better Than One:

When you adopt a pair of kitties a $50 discount is applied on the adoption fees.

If you've ever wanted a tiny best friend who rides on your shoulder, comes when called, and thinks everyone is a potential friend, you've found her.
Bubbles is 4.5 months old as of Sep 2026. She is fully vetted, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, up to date on her vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworms.

21. Buttercup
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 13 mi from Atlanta









Buttercup is the sweetest little soul with one very effective way of asking for attention: dramatically flopping onto the floor, rolling onto her back, and presenting her belly for admiration.
At about 1 year old, she's basically a kitten in an adult cat's body. She gets hilarious bunny-hop zoomies, loves toys, laps, cuddles, and has the sweetest little meow for attention or dinner.
Buttercup is incredibly gentle with other cats and genuinely wants to be everyone's friend. She especially loves Powerpuff and Bubbles and would be thrilled to go home with one of them, but she can also make friends with another kind, playful kitty.

After a difficult start, Buttercup is healthy, happy, and finally getting to enjoy being young. All she wants is a cozy lap, some toys, a feline friend, and someone to belly-flop for every day.

22. Sadie
Kitten · Female · Tortoiseshell / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Atlanta



Date of birth: 5/18/26.
Photos taken on 9/10/26.
She is the sole survivor from a box left in the bushes at Home Depot.
Sadie is a beautiful little tortie with a gentle spirit, a playful side, and just the right amount of that famous “tortitude.” But Sadie’s version is a little different—she’s less sassy and more selective. ❤️
This special girl had a difficult start in life and proved very early that she is a survivor. Today, she is happy, playful, socialized, and thriving. Perhaps because of everything she’s experienced, Sadie likes to take her time deciding who earns a place in her inner circle.
Read more about Sadie
She’s observant and a little independent, and she isn’t necessarily going to demand your attention the moment you meet her. Sadie believes relationships are worth building.
Once she feels comfortable, though, you’ll discover a sweet girl with a wonderful little purr motor who enjoys affection, playtime, and—very importantly—her snacks! She may never be the cat who needs to be the center of attention, but she has a quiet way of working her way right into your heart.
Sadie would especially love an adopter who understands that some of the most rewarding relationships with cats are the ones that develop over time. Give this beautiful girl the chance to choose you, and you may just find yourself with one fiercely special little friend. ❤️
She is spayed, treated for fleas & worms, tested negative for FeLV/FIV & vaccinated for RCP and microchipped.
Adoption fee $125.00

His buddy is Lewis.
A message from Dino's foster parents:
He rubs on our legs, licks us, flops down, gives us soft eyes, and purrs like an engine. He loves to actively play, run, jump and climb up and down his cage. He loves to have fun, and is highly entertaining to watch. He is ALL IN when he plays. He now uses the scratch post and has also used the scratch pad, and of course his litter box.
Today, we called for kitty, kitty and he came running. He gets 1/3 can Fancy Feast Kitten-chicken three times a day and he loves it. The nerf balls are a MUST HAVE toy.
Read more about Dino
He has approached my cats through the plexiglass with a playful tail and flopped down in front of them. He has also batted all his balls and toys off the plexiglass in front of them. He seems to want to have interaction with them. My cats are not thrilled, but I am proud of them for their tolerance.
He is often vocal with us, looking directly into your eyes and meowing (usually 1 loud meow) for attention. He loves to have his belly rubbed. You can pick him up and kiss his head. He is often, actively seeking attention and seems to prefer us to sit in the room, often playing with his toys at our feet. Just now, he jumped up into my lap from the floor onto the chair.
We are also becoming attached, which is something we do not want to do. His transformation has been beautiful. It will be difficult to let him go. We are honored to have set him up for success. I need to continually remind myself of that.
He is a sweet, friendly, talented boy, and we love him!!!
He is neutered, treated for fleas & worms, tested negative for FeLV/FIV & vaccinated for RCP, Rabies and microchipped.

26. Levi
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Atlanta




Greetings! I’m LEVI (DOB: ~04/24/2026), a male gray tabby and white domestic short hair. I am a handsome little boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! As a playful cuddle bug, I love to chase toys, wrestle, and zoom around the house with my sister, SASHA, and when playtime is over, I’m the happiest snuggled up for a nap with my favorite people. I have been fostered with dogs and other cats in my foster home, making me well-socialized and comfortable in a multi-pet home. I’m friendly, outgoing, curious, and love people. My sweet, affectionate nature and fun-loving spirit make me a wonderful companion for just about any family.

If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you smiling with playful antics and melt your heart with cuddles, I am ready to become your new best friend!

I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $150.00, but if you adopt me with my sister, our adoption fee together is $200.00.

Adopting a cat with children in Atlanta
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
