3. Marleigh

Young (4 months 22 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Baton Rouge

Marleigh female 15 weeks

This girl needs a special home. She came in having severe seizures that were treated due to an underlined condition. She is healthy and ready to go, no more seizures, but there was a little brain damage from them so she’s just a bit slow. She acts like a normal cat, but very, very mild temperament and has no issues eating drinking using the litter box. She just doesn’t play and have the hyper activity that are normal kitten wood. I actually think she has some peripheral vision loss.

She has been spayed, combo tested for feline leukemia/feline aids, up to date on vaccinations, wormed and flea treated.

6. Rollie

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 74 mi from Baton Rouge

Rollie is an incredibly sweet, gentle kitten with a calm, easygoing personality. He may be a little timid when meeting someone new, but he warms up quickly and is soon flopping onto his back, purring, and happily soaking up attention. He's affectionate, easy to handle, and has such a relaxed, loving temperament. Rollie has met a variety of people and has always been gentle, never hissy, aggressive, or fearful. He has had perfect litter box habits from day one, never having a single accident. He's playful without being destructive and has been an absolute joy to foster. With his calm, adaptable personality, Rollie would make a wonderful companion in a variety of homes, including families with children. I also think he'd do well either as the only pet or with another friendly cat or dog.

7. Absolutely Not

Kitten (2 months 18 days) · Female · Siamese / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 100 mi from Baton Rouge

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
The little princess who turned a firm NO into a whole lot of LOVE!

When this gorgeous Siamese mix kitten arrived at her foster home, it was love at first sight.

Well, for her foster mom anyway.

Foster Mom: "She's absolutely precious! We're keeping her!" ❤️

Foster Dad: "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

And just like that, a kitten got a name.

Meet Absolutely Not, a stunning little girl with the face of an angel, the elegance of royalty, and the personality of a tiny, furry troublemaker!

Don't let those princess looks fool you. This girl is ALL KITTEN, and she has a very busy social calendar!

Playing with the big cats? Absolutely!

Read more about Absolutely Not

Annoying the family dog? One of her favorite pastimes! Thankfully, he's old, gentle, and apparently has the patience of a saint.

Toys? She's never met one she didn't adore. Every toy is her favorite toy until she discovers the next one!

Treats? Absolutely YES!

Sunshine? A princess must have proper lighting to show off her beauty.

Lap time? Mandatory! Royalty requires a warm throne, preferably one that comes with gentle pets.

After a hard day of kitten adventures, Absolutely Not believes in the finer things in life. Soft beds, cozy napping spots, warm laps, and plenty of snuggles are not luxuries. They are royal necessities!

She's accustomed to sharing her kingdom with other cats and a gentle dog, and she'd love a forever home where she can play, explore, cuddle, and be appropriately adored.

The funny thing about Absolutely Not?

She's living proof that sometimes the best things in life arrive when someone says NO!

And we have a sneaking suspicion that whoever adopts this beautiful little princess will spend the rest of their lives saying...

"Absolutely NOT getting another cat!"

Right before adopting another one. ❤️

8. Axel

Kitten (3 months 13 days) · Male · Tabby / Mixed (medium coat) · 100 mi from Baton Rouge

AXEL: EXCUSE ME, I'M THE BABY!

Some kittens come pre-spoiled. Then there's Axel, who has taken being spoiled to an entirely new level!

This adorable orange tabby and white little boy has a slight identity crisis. You see, Axel is absolutely convinced he's a human baby. And frankly, nobody has had the heart to tell him otherwise.

He expects to be held. He expects to be carried. He expects cuddles on demand. And he expects you to understand that the world revolves around Axel. It's not that he's demanding. He just knows how things are supposed to work!

Read more about Axel

But don't let all that baby business fool you. When he's not being carried around like royalty, Axel is 100% kitten!

Curious? He needs to investigate EVERYTHING.

Adventurous? Absolutely! There's a whole world to explore!

Cat towers? His personal jungle gyms!

Kitten shenanigans? He's got a full schedule!

Cuddles? Stop whatever you're doing. The baby needs holding!

Axel is dog and cat friendly and should adjust nicely to pet-friendly children. He's the perfect combination of energetic little explorer, adorable troublemaker, and ridiculously spoiled cuddle bug.

And let's face it, with that sweet face, those orange tabby good looks, and his irresistible personality, you're not going to be the one who tells him he's not a human baby either!

Axel isn't looking for an owner. He's looking for someone to adopt their new baby. Preferably someone with strong arms, a comfortable lap, and absolutely no objections to spoiling him rotten!

Some kittens are born lucky. Others have to wait for luck to find them. Elliott's lucky day came when he was found on Elliott Street. And now this handsome tabby and white boy is ready for his next big adventure: finding his forever family! ❤️

Elliott comes PRE-SPOILED, and he has absolutely no intention of lowering his standards!

This little gentleman has two speeds: FULL THROTTLE and FULL CUDDLE!

When he's awake, Elliott is a whirlwind of kitten energy. He's curious about EVERYTHING, loves exploring, and firmly believes that whatever you're doing requires his immediate supervision.

Read more about Elliott

But when bedtime rolls around? This busy boy transforms into a snuggle champion! Elliott adores bedtime cuddles and seeks out human companionship. Why sleep alone when there's a perfectly good person to curl up with?

Dog friendly? YES!

Cat friendly? ABSOLUTELY!

Child friendly? YOU BET!

Playful, curious, affectionate, and ridiculously adorable? CHECK, CHECK, CHECK, AND CHECK!

Elliott isn't looking for a house. He's looking for HIS PEOPLE. People to play with, investigate with, cuddle with, and love with his whole little kitten heart.

Elliott has already mastered the art of being spoiled. Now he just needs someone willing to make it a lifetime commitment!

MEET BAUTISTA: HE’S WATCHING YOU.

Going to the kitchen? Bautista noticed.

Opening a cabinet? Bautista would like to know why.

Moving something across the room? Suspicious.

Bautista is a handsome grey tabby kitten who believes nothing should happen in his home without proper feline supervision. He’s a little timid, so he prefers to conduct his investigations from a safe distance until he decides everything checks out.

Once he settles in, though, the real Bautista starts appearing.

And that boy has ENERGY.

Toys must be chased. Towers must be climbed. Rooms must be explored. Sunny spots must be occupied immediately. ☀️

Then bedtime arrives and Officer Bautista clocks out.

That’s when this cautious little investigator turns into a super-sweet snuggle bug. Curl up with him and you’ll be rewarded with soft, contented purrs that make it very clear you have finally passed his background check. ❤️

Bautista will need a little patience while he adjusts to his new home. Give him the time to feel safe, and you’ll discover a playful, loving orange boy who just happens to keep tabs on everything you do.

Privacy? You adopted a cat. That was your first mistake.

Kitten (4 months 14 days) · Female · Calico / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 100 mi from Baton Rouge

Meet Pawtricia

Some kittens burst into a room demanding attention. Pawtricia is the one who quietly steals your heart.

This gorgeous caliby girl is a gentle soul who takes a little time to get to know new people. Once she feels safe, her playful and curious side begins to shine. A toy skittering across the floor, a sunny window to watch the world, or a cozy hideaway for an afternoon nap are all part of her recipe for happiness.

Read more about Pawtricia

Pawtricia has been raised in a quiet home and would do best with older, calm children who understand that friendships are built with patience and kindness. Give her a little time, and you'll be rewarded with a sweet companion who loves soft blankets, warm sunshine, and peaceful snuggle spots.

If you're looking for a kitten whose trust is a gift and whose love is genuine, Pawtricia may be the perfect addition to your family. She isn't just looking for a home. She's looking for someone who will let her bloom at her own pace.

Meet Clawdia!

Clawdia couldn't be any cuter if she tried... and believe us, she has absolutely no intention of trying. She already knows she's adorable.

This little caliby girl is a delightful blend of sugar, spice, and just enough kitten chaos to keep life interesting. One minute she's pouncing on a toy mouse with the determination of a mighty huntress. The next she's curled up in your lap, purring so loudly you'll wonder if there's a tiny motor hidden inside her.

Read more about Clawdia

Curious? Absolutely. Playful? Without question. Sweet? Beyond words. Clawdia greets every day as if it's a brand-new adventure waiting to happen. Feather wands, crinkle balls, cardboard boxes, your shoelaces... everything deserves a proper inspection.

When she's finished conquering the living room, she's more than happy to collect her payment in cuddles, chin scratches, and a cozy nap beside her favorite human.

If your home could use a little extra laughter, a lot of love, and a tiny caliby shadow following you from room to room, Clawdia is ready to report for duty.

20. Banana Nut

Kitten (3 months 29 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (medium coat) · 100 mi from Baton Rouge

MEET BANANA NUT — SWEET WITH A DASH OF INDEPENDENCE!

Banana Nut is a beautiful medium-haired tabby kitten who has a very important announcement:

She does not require constant supervision.

This independent little lady is perfectly happy entertaining herself. She’s very active, loves her toys, and considers treats one of mankind’s greatest inventions.

Attention? She tolerates it.
Cuddles? We’re negotiating.
Treats? You may proceed immediately.

Read more about Banana Nut

But Banana Nut has been letting her softer side peek through. She’s recently started joining the crew on the bed at night, which is a pretty big deal for a girl who likes to make her own decisions. Give her time, patience, and the freedom to come to you on her terms, and you may just find yourself with a quiet little bedtime companion.

Banana Nut would be a great match for someone who loves the company of a cat but doesn’t need a kitty attached to them every second of the day. She has things to do, toys to conquer, treats to collect, and naps to schedule.

Independent. Playful. Beautiful. And just a little bit nutty.

That’s our Banana Nut.

MEET BLUEBERRY — OUR WAFFLE WITH EXTRA SASS!

Sweet? Yes.
Beautiful? Absolutely.
Does Blueberry believe everything should happen according to Blueberry’s Rules? You bet.

Blueberry is a gorgeous long-haired black kitten with the most adorable little tufts of hair behind her ears. They give her just the right amount of fancy for a kitten who already considers herself royalty.

This sassy little princess enjoys attention, but on her terms, please. She can take some time to trust new people, and her adopter will need to be patient while she decides they're worthy of joining her royal court.

Read more about Blueberry

Once she's comfortable, you'll discover a very playful and curious kitten who wants to investigate her kingdom, conquer her toys, and keep tabs on everything happening around her.

Blueberry is independent, opinionated, and definitely a bit of a diva. For that reason, she may not be the best choice for a first-time cat owner. She needs someone who understands that earning a cat's trust can take time and who won't rush her when she asks for space.

Don't expect Blueberry to worship you.

That's your job.

Give this fluffy little princess patience, respect, plenty of toys, and the occasional treat, and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that when Blueberry chooses to give you her affection, you earned it.

Blueberry: fluffy, fabulous, slightly bossy, and served with extra sass.

22. Chocolate Chip

Kitten (4 months 16 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 100 mi from Baton Rouge

MEET CHOCOLATE CHIP — EXTRA SWEET WITH A FEW SPECIAL INGREDIENTS!

Every batch needs a Chocolate Chip, and ours happens to be a beautiful medium-haired black kitten with a whole lot of love packed into one fluffy little package.

Chocolate Chip is a special-needs kitten. She is deaf and has mild cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), so sometimes navigating the world takes a little extra thought. She isn't always aware of potential hazards, and occasionally her internal GPS seems to announce, “Recalculating…”

But Chocolate Chip doesn't let any of that interfere with the important business of being a kitten.

Read more about Chocolate Chip

She's very playful, loves being near her people, and is a certified shadow kitty. If you're moving, there's a good chance Chocolate Chip is somewhere near your feet. If you're sitting, she'll find you. If she's nowhere to be found, check the nearest cozy sleeping spot.

And when Chocolate Chip sleeps, she SLEEPS. Because she's deaf, calling her for treats isn't going to work. This girl sometimes has to be physically awakened to discover she's been missing snack time!

Chocolate Chip is one big serving of clingy cat to love.

Because she can't hear and sometimes gets directionally challenged, she would benefit from having another friendly kitty or a gentle small dog as a companion. A furry buddy can help give her cues about what's happening around her while also providing a built-in playmate.

Chocolate Chip may need a home willing to make a few accommodations to keep her safe, but in return you get a playful, devoted little shadow who plans to stick to you closer than syrup on a waffle.

Chocolate Chip: a little wobbly, completely lovable, and made with extra sweetness.

Meet Spot

What do you name a kitten with one little tabby patch sitting in a sea of white on his chest?

Spot.

Sometimes the perfect name is staring you right in the face.

This handsome grey tabby and white boy is everything people love about kittens wrapped up in one adorable package. Curious? Absolutely. Spot believes every closet should be inspected, every cabinet deserves investigation, and every space under the furniture might contain a grand adventure.

His foster reports that Spot has exactly two speeds:

Nap and Zoom.

One moment he's sound asleep. The next he's racing through the house as if he's late for an important kitten meeting.

Read more about Spot

When it's time to recharge, Spot has a favorite sleeping spot. Your lap. In fact, he's fairly certain laps were invented specifically for him. He expects cuddles on demand and isn't shy about collecting all the affection he can get.

Spot is child and cat friendly and has all the qualities you're looking for in a new family member. He's loving, playful, affectionate, entertaining, and impossibly adorable. Whether he's exploring the house, chasing toys, or curled up in your lap, Spot has a knack for making every day a little brighter.

If you're looking for a kitten who can keep you laughing, keep you company, and keep your lap warm, Spot is ready to earn his place in your home.

Kitten (4 months 23 days) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 100 mi from Baton Rouge

Meet Sponge Bob

Some kittens dream of climbing mountains.

Some dream of catching the red dot.

Sponge Bob dreams of being carried everywhere like the tiny prince he clearly believes he is.

This adorable orange tabby has reached the conclusion that walking is highly overrated. Why should his feet touch the ground when perfectly capable humans are available to chauffeur him from place to place? In Sponge Bob's world, paws are for playtime and mealtime. Everything else should involve cuddles.

Read more about Sponge Bob

Sponge Bob absolutely adores being held, petted, and told how handsome and sweet he is. Fortunately, he's all three, so you'll never run out of compliments. He comes pre-spoiled and fully expects his future family to continue maintaining the high standard of service to which he has become accustomed.

Child and cat friendly, Sponge Bob loves treats, toys, and spending time with his people. But if given a choice between a toy mouse and a warm lap, he'll happily choose the lap. For Bob, life is all about affection, attention, and as many snuggles as possible.

If you're looking for a kitten who wants to be your constant companion, professional cuddle consultant, and part-time shoulder ornament, Sponge Bob is ready to move in.

Indoor only. Declawing prohibited by contract. Must be at least 21 to adopt.

Warning: Prolonged exposure to Sponge Bob may result in carrying a kitten from room to room and loving every minute of it.

Meet Tobias

Tobias is a master of stealth.

It starts innocently enough. He curls up in your lap for a quick cuddle. Harmless, right?

A few days later, he's sleeping in your bed.

Then one morning you realize you're balancing on the edge of the mattress while Tobias is stretched comfortably across the middle.

Soon your favorite chair belongs to Tobias. Your blanket belongs to Tobias. Your pillow? Definitely Tobias.

Before you know it, this adorable orange-and-white kitten has quietly taken over your entire household, and somehow convinced you that serving his every whim is a privilege.

Read more about Tobias

His methods are simple: irresistible purrs, endless charm, and a face that says, "I have never done anything wrong in my life."

When he's not expanding his tiny empire, Tobias can be found enjoying toys, chasing adventures, and searching for treats. Especially treats. If treats are involved, Tobias is suddenly and mysteriously nearby.

Tobias is dog and cat friendly and would make a wonderful family pet or companion kitty. If you're looking for a sweet, playful kitten with a talent for stealing hearts, Tobias is ready to begin his gentle conquest of your home.

Meet Claire

Some kittens race through life at top speed. Claire does that too... but only after she's taken a moment to see what the squirrels are plotting outside the window.

A cat tower is her favorite observation post, where she happily watches birds flutter by and squirrels put on their daily acrobatics. Once she's finished supervising the neighborhood wildlife, she's off on her own adventures, chasing toys, exploring every corner, and proving that curiosity really is a kitten's superpower.

Read more about Claire

Claire has a wonderfully gentle nature that makes her just as lovable as she is playful. She's highly active, endlessly curious, and always ready for the next game, but she's also the kind of kitten who enjoys being part of the family. She gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and children, making her an easy fit for just about any loving home.

If you're looking for a kitten who will fill your days with laughter, entertainment, and sweet companionship, Claire is ready to climb right into your heart.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
