12. Rocky

Kitten (3 months 13 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 15 mi from Lakewood

Meet Rocky! This adorable tuxedo girl is a polydactyl and has extra toes on all four paws! This cutie holds her own in a house full of boys! She loves chasing her foster brothers, running around, and getting into some good old-fashioned kitten roughhousing. She plays hard and crashes hard! When she’s not busy wrestling or chasing toys (the wand toy is a favorite!), she’s happy to enjoy some pets from her people. She loves to nap in the window or on the highest platform of her cat tree. She really enjoys having vertical climbing spots and loves to be up on top. At this age, she’s more of a playmate than a lap cat, but she definitely appreciates affection.

Read more about Rocky

Rocky gets along great with other cats and is comfortable around the dogs in her foster home, as long as they don’t try to chase her. She’s a fun, confident girl who would love a home with another playful feline friend to keep her occupied.

A note about her extra toes: Polydactyl cats need regular nail trims and nail checks. Their extra toes and claws can make it easier for nails to become overgrown or grow into the paw pads, so routine nail maintenance is especially important.

If you’re looking for a playful, outgoing kitten with extra-special paws, Rocky might be your girl!

A note about Rocky’s adoption: Since Rocky is still too young to be spayed, her adopter will need to take her to the scheduled spay appointment when she’s old enough. Her spay is a required part of her adoption. To make sure she can return for her appointment, adopters must live within an hour’s drive of Holmdel, NJ.

Adoption fee: $175 ($300 for a pair)

Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

24. Fig

Kitten (5 months 25 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (medium coat) · 15 mi from Lakewood

Meet Fig!

This sweet, easygoing little guy who came to us in July through local TNR efforts. He’s grown into a wonderful kitten with a calm personality, a playful side, and a very big purr.

Fig isn't the type of kitten who needs to be the center of attention. He's perfectly happy doing his own thing, hanging out with the other cats, and taking in everything around him. But when you give him some attention, he is more than happy to accept it! He loves to be pet and will often answer with a loud, happy purr.

Read more about Fig

And when it's time to play, Fig is all in. He loves chasing the wand toy, and he can jump pretty high trying to catch it! He also loves catching and chasing pom-pom balls. After playtime, he's happy to settle down for a nap or snuggle with one of his kitten friends.

Fig gets along great with the cats in his foster home and loves sleeping, playing, and snuggling with the other kittens. He's been particularly good with the younger kittens and seems to enjoy showing them the ropes. Having other cats around suits Fig perfectly, and we think he'd be happiest in a home with another friendly cat.

What’s most charming about Fig is that he's not looking for the spotlight. He's a calm, go-with-the-flow kind of guy who's content being nearby, enjoys his pets and playtime, and doesn't need constant attention to be happy. Once he gets to know you, his sweet personality and wonderful purr come out.

He's still a little unsure about the dogs in his foster home, but we think he could learn to live with a calm, cat-friendly dog given the right introduction. Fig would do well with gentle, cat-savvy kids.

Fig would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, playful, uncomplicated kitten who doesn't need to be the center of the universe. Give him a cozy spot, a feline friend, some playtime, and a little affection, and Fig is a very happy boy.

And yes, Churu treats are absolutely the way to his heart!

Please note: If Fig is adopted before his scheduled neuter appointment, his adopter will need to take him. Neutering is required as part of his adoption. Adopters must live in New Jersey and within an hour’s drive of Holmdel, NJ.

Fig is up to date on his kitten vaccines and tested negative for FIV/FELV.

Kitten (4 months 25 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 15 mi from Lakewood

Meet Weston!

Weston is a special little guy who has been stealing hearts since the day he arrived. Found outside all alone at just two weeks old, Weston came into foster care and was lovingly bottle-fed. Now about three months old, he’s an incredibly happy, sweet and entertaining little guy.

Weston is equal parts playful and affectionate. He loves his toys, chasing and wrestling with the other kittens in his foster home, and finding ways to keep everyone entertained. But just as much as he loves to play, Weston loves to snuggle. He loves to be pet and held, and he is almost always happy, relaxed, and purring.

Read more about Weston

This little cutie is very social, loves people and has an easygoing personality. He’s brave, curious and loves to explore his foster home. Great with cats of all ages - he loves sharing a cat bed with the other kittens or curling up for a nap on his cat tree. He’s also getting more comfortable around the dogs in his foster home.

Weston is the whole package: playful, affectionate, funny, easygoing, and endlessly sweet. He has been loved and spoiled from the moment he was found, and now he’s ready to find a family of his own to love right back.

Because Weston is such a social boy, he would do best in a home with another young, playful cat. He loves having a feline friend to play with, cuddle with, and keep him company.

A note about Weston’s adoption: Since Weston is still too young to be neutered, his adopter will need to take him to his scheduled neuter appointment when he is old enough. Neutering is required as part of his adoption. To make sure he can return for his appointment, adopters must live in New Jersey and within an hour’s drive of Holmdel, NJ.

Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Lakewood

Meet Everett! This little cutie came to us from our rescue partner in North Carolina on June 27th. He’s doing great in his foster home, but he would love to find a family of his own.

Everett is a purr machine who loves to snuggle with his humans. He’s a friendly boy who loves to play! Everett would love to be adopted with his brother Ezra. If a double adoption isn’t possible, a home with another cat or kitten would be great for him.

Kittens do better when adopted in pairs or with another young cat in the home.

Kitten Fee = $175. ($300/pair)

Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

Adopting a kitten in Lakewood

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.
