1. Ding Dong

Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Male · Abyssinian / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Aurora

Meet Ding Dong – A Whole Lot of Love, Mischief, and Personality!

If you're looking for a kitten who does everything with enthusiasm, meet Ding Dong! This lovable little goofball is super affectionate, super cuddly, super playful, and super mischievous! Whatever Ding Dong does, he does it with his whole heart.

Ding Dong has never met a person he didn't want to cuddle or an adventure he didn't want to investigate. He's curious, fearless, and absolutely convinced that life is one big playground designed especially for him.

Read more about Ding Dong

But his greatest passion? FOOD! Ding Dong takes mealtime very seriously. If you're opening a can of cat food, don't be surprised if you suddenly feel tiny paws climbing up your back. Before you know it, Ding Dong will be perched on your shoulder, supervising the entire operation and wondering what's taking so long!

Despite his mischievous ways, Ding Dong is an incredibly loving little boy who adores attention and affection. He's the kind of kitten who will keep you laughing with his silly antics and then melt your heart with his cuddles.

His very best friend is Bibbidi Mel, a sweet, gentle boy who provides the perfect balance to Ding Dong's larger-than-life personality. The two are wonderful buddies, and we'd love for them to find a forever home together. However, Ding Dong can also be adopted on his own.

If your home could use a little more laughter, a lot more love, and perhaps an unexpected kitten on your shoulder, Ding Dong is ready to ring your bell!

Just remember to keep the food coming!

Ding Dong is available through our foster-to-adopt program, giving him a chance to settle into his new home before the adoption is finalized.

2. Bibbidi Mel

Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Male · Abyssinian / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Aurora

Meet Bibbidi Mel – A Gentle Little Sweetheart!

Bibbidi Mel (or simply Mel to his friends) is a sweet, gentle little boy with a heart full of love and just a touch of shyness. He may take a little time to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate nature begins to shine.

One of Mel's most adorable habits is the way he responds to being petted. Instead of demanding attention, he simply leans ever so slightly into your hand, as if quietly saying, "Oh, yes, I really like that. Please don't stop." It's such a small gesture, but absolutely heart-melting!

Read more about Bibbidi Mel

Mel has a few great passions in life: delicious food, climbing his cat tree, and watching birds through the window. He can happily spend ages observing the feathered visitors outside, dreaming of adventures while enjoying the comforts of home.

His very best friend is Ding Dong, a playful little fellow who brings out Mel's adventurous side. The two boys share a wonderful friendship, and we'd love to see them adopted together. However, Mel can also be adopted on his own into a loving, patient home where he'll have the time and encouragement to blossom at his own pace.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion whose quiet little expressions of love will make you smile every day, Bibbidi Mel might just be your perfect match!

Mel is available through our foster-to-adopt program, giving him a chance to settle into their new home before the adoption is finalized.

3. Kernel

Kitten (4 months 4 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 10 mi from Aurora

Hi my name is Kernel! I was found all alone in a corn field after the corn had been cut down. A helpful person took me to animal control and from there I found my foster family. Ever since I popped up- I have been an a-maize-ing houseguest. Kernel is friendly and playful! An all around purrfect kitty with so much love and affection for his people. He loves to cuddle up on your lap and is a sucker for belly rubs. He is a young cat - around 16 weeks old and he needs another friendly cat waiting for him at his new home --or adopt a second available cat at the same time to keep him entertained! Kernel is a beautiful buff tabby and his little cherub face just melts your heart. He loves to play with all kinds of toys - and he even has a little catnip plush corn that he will bring with him to his forever home!

-The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.

-You'll save two lives instead of one!

Read more about Lexi

Lexi was born into her fosters home from a feral pregnant cat they took in. Mom is all vetted and is now part of the foster's family.

Can be clingy always wanting to be on or next to you. She is just now being introduced to other cats in the foster home and is doing well but honestly I think she would do fine as an only cat that can soak up all of your attention.

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Lexi would do well with a sibling or friend, including:

-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

-Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.

Fostered with siblings, Lexi and Ethel.

Read more about Alice

Alice was born into her fosters home from a feral pregnant cat they took in. Mom is all vetted and is now part of the foster's family. As much as they would have loved to keep all of the kittens, of course that was not possible. Now Alice is ready to find her forever home. She is very affectionate and loves to crawl into your lap for pets. Some days I call her velcro since I can't get her off my lap. She co-exists with the other fosters and cats in the house, but would also do well as an only cat to soak up the attention.

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Alice would do well with a sibling or friend, including:

-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

6. Ethel

Kitten (4 months 10 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 10 mi from Aurora

Ethel will be at the Darien Petsmart adoption event Saturday, October 31st from 11-2.

Ethel is fostered with her siblings Lexi and Alice.

Ethel's foster mom took in a pregnant stray cat and had her babies in the fosters' safe environment. The foster vetted the mom and she now has a permanent place in their family home. As much as they would have loved to keep all of the kittens, of course that was not possible. So now Ethel is looking for HER forever family and home. She would likely thrive better as an only cat in the home or be adopted with a sibling.

Linden is one of our adorable Busy Bees, a group of five kittens who aren't siblings but came together and quickly became their own little kitten family.

Don is a sweet, cuddly boy with an athlete's heart. He loves affection and will happily settle in for cuddles, but when it's playtime, Don is ready for action!

Cardboard scratchers are a particular favorite, and if there's something to climb, explore, investigate—or possibly get into that he shouldn't—Linden will probably find it. He's curious, energetic, and wonderfully mischievous, with the kind of playful personality that makes it hard not to laugh at his adventures.

His favorite thing is climbing onto his foster's shoulder and cuddling in her hair LOL!

Don would especially love to be adopted with his buddy Mel, who makes a great partner for all that kitten fun, but he can also be adopted separately into the right home.

Adopting a kitten in Aurora

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
