1. Ding Dong
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
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
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!

-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.
-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!

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.

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.

12. Tux
If you work from home, Tux may just be your perfect coworker. She loves being near her people, although she doesn't necessarily need to be in your lap. She's perfectly content sitting beside you or hanging out at your desk, carefully supervising everything you do. Someone has to make sure you're getting your work done!
Tux can be a timid girl at first and likes to put on a tough, independent act—as if she couldn't possibly care whether you give her attention. But don't let her fool you! Bring out a toy and her personality comes shining through. She loves to play, and watching her come out of her shell is part of what makes her so special.

13. Busy Bee Don
Meet Don!
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.
Read more about Busy Bee Don
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.

There's something especially endearing about the way Mel asks for affection. He'll quietly lean his whole little body into you for pets, and it's nearly impossible not to fall in love with him. ❤️ He just needs someone willing to give him that little bit of time to show them who he really is.

20. Sweetie Pie and Larry BONDED PAIR
Some friendships are simply meant to be, and Sweetie Pie and Larry are living proof. Sweetie Pie's story began with heartbreak. Born the runt of her litter, she was the only kitten to survive after losing all her siblings to what veterinarians believed may have been fading kitten syndrome. Despite such a difficult beginning, this brave little girl grew into the sweetest, most affectionate kitten. Her foster mom brought her to work, surrounded her with love, and introduced her to other cats so she would never have to feel alone. But even after meeting several foster kittens, something was still missing. That was until Larry came along.
Read more about Sweetie Pie and Larry BONDED PAIR
From the moment they met, their connection was undeniable. Larry became the very first kitten Sweetie Pie ever cuddled with, and the two have been inseparable ever since. Whether they're curled up together for a nap, snuggling in their foster mom's lap, or purring themselves to sleep beside her at night, these two have mastered the art of loving and being loved. They're incredibly affectionate, playful, confident, and always ready to make a new friend. Both have been well-socialized with people, other cats, and even their foster family's Chihuahua!
Sweetie Pie and Larry have already experienced how beautiful life can be when you're surrounded by love, patience, and kindness. Now, they're ready for the next chapter of their story, one where they can grow up together in a forever home. They're looking for a family who has plenty of cuddles to give, doesn't mind sharing their bed with two little purring machines, and understands that some bonds are simply too special to separate. After everything Sweetie Pie has overcome, finding Larry was her happy beginning. Could you be the family that gives them their happily ever after?
Please note: Sweetie Pie and Larry are a bonded pair, meaning that they must go to a home together. There are several reasons why Sweetie Pie and Larry would do well in a home together.

21. Nelly
Nelly will be at the Darien Petsmart adoption event Saturday, October 31st from 11-2.
Read more about Nelly
Perfection is Nelly's nick name. Nelly is a sweet, cuddly little black kitten who loves nothing more than getting attention from her people. She is pure perfection. Give her some pets and affection, and you’ll quickly hear her happy purrs start up! Nelly will sleep with you in bed all night. She is always ready to play. I often wake up in the morning to a pile of toys next to me that she had been gathering all night. She loves all people and all cats. We think it would be best for her to go to a home with a kitty companion whether that is adopting her with another kitten or having one already at home to play with. She is the last of her litter to be adopted out, and she misses playing with them. She has learned to play fetch with us when she is looking for playtime. She would be a great addition to any family. She would even likely be ok with a dog. She has never been introduced to one, I bet she would play and snuggle with a dog too. And she has the SOFTEST fur you will find. Seriously, this cat is perfect!
We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Nelly would do better 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.
-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.

22. Sans
Sans is an independent little gal. She's happy to sit in a window and watch the outdoors. She loves to play with ground toys and will sometimes play fetch. She has a cute little meow and loves playing with her sister (not biologically) Toriel.
We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Sans would do good with a 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.

-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.
-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!
Sans is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.

Adopting a kitten in Orland Park
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.
