5. Spunky & Hurricane
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 14 mi from Burlington






Courtesy Post
Read more about Spunky & Hurricane
Spunky (mom) and her son Hurricane came into care in mid-July, 2026. Spunky had shown up on her foster parents porch as a starving kitten in May, 2026. She was so small, no one imagined that she had kittens until she was spayed 5/29/26. She was released to her home territory following her surgery and continued to come for meals at the foster yard until a rain storm in July drove the little family to a neighbor’s porch. Spunky and her three kittens were captured and moved inside. Despite living outside for a long period, Spunky was never feral. The foster parents have been able to assemble a team of volunteers to help handle the kittens so they are also social.
Hurricane is a brown tabby male who looks just like his mother. He has always been very attached to her. This attachment was evident even when he had two siblings with which to play. The siblings have gone on to successful adoptions in the past few weeks. It is our opinion that Spunky and Hurricane should remain together.
Spunky and Hurricane live with 4 other cats and get along well with everyone. Their favorite place to be is on a cat tree looking out on the woods where they used to live but they have not tried to leave the house at all. They play with each other and with a very active 3 year old cat in the foster home. Favorite toys include a laser pen, springs, and small catnip mice. It’s been really fun to see Spunky enjoy toys that she probably never experienced before.
Neither Spunky nor Hurricane are particularly cuddly but they like to be in the same space with their foster parents. If she weren’t named Spunky early in her rescue, she would be named Perfection. She truly is the perfect cat! She is quiet, keeps a regular schedule, uses the litter box perfectly and took wonderful care of her kittens. Hurricane is a wonderfully playful youngster who enjoys toys, the scratching posts, climbing furniture and sleeping on any item of clothing that is left on the bed. Both are addicted to catnip and will roll around with any item that contains it.
If you are looking for a pair of young cats with whom to share your space, these two are a great choice. They are calm, attached to humans that they know, and really easy to care for. They eat and spend the night in the bathroom they have always used. They spend their days in the house with the other cats playing chase and napping. Although they have not been exposed to children or dogs, they are calm enough that these should not be a problem.
Both Spunky and Hurricane are fully vaccinated, spay/neutered, microchipped and ready for adoption.
They are located in Greensboro NC.

Kitten (3 months 16 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 27 mi from Burlington







Pepper is all sweetness and no spice! She is a very friendly kitten and has never met a stranger. Pepper is like a little puppy and will follow you everywhere. You can have your very own shadow! Better yet, Pepper is a big helper and will always be near in case you need anything while brushing your teeth, washing your face, or choosing your outfit for the day. Pepper is also a talented sous chef! She is always there to help with preparing her meals and to provide assistance as needed. Another one of Pepper's many talents is purring! She has the loudest PURR and will start purring as soon as she sees you. Pepper is most content just being close to you. Please give this adorable kitten a chance! Unfortunately, because of the color of her fur, she has a harder time getting adopted. Trust me. After meeting her, you will be wrapped around her paw!

Jarvy
DOB: March 1, 2026 (est)
Neutered Male Short Hair Brown Tabby
Hi, I’m Jarvy!
I got my name after a Carolina Hurricanes player because my foster family loved watching the playoffs—and just like my namesake, I’m always on the move!
I’m an energetic, curious kitten who’s constantly playing, exploring, and finding my next adventure. If there’s a box nearby, you can bet I’ll be inside it (or trying to figure out how to fit!). Life is just too exciting to sit still for long.
Read more about Jarvy
Because I have so much energy, I absolutely need a playful feline friend to wrestle, chase, and burn off zoomies with. I’ll keep my buddy entertained and make sure there’s never a dull moment. If you’ve already got a cat-loving dog, I’d love to make a new friend!
When playtime finally winds down, I’m happy to recharge before heading off on my next big adventure. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, mischievous kitten to keep you smiling, I just might be your perfect match! Get in touch with the nice people at Best Friend Pet Adoption and let’s get to know each other.

16. P Dot
Kitten (5 months 9 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 40 mi from Burlington




P Dot
DOB: 3/1/26 (est)
Neutered Male Short Hair Black & White
Hi there! I’m called P. Dot for reasons which should look obvious haha! I also have a black mask across half of my face (makes me look sort of mysterious, I think), and, yeah...I’ve got ears for days. My humans tell me I’ll grow into them, but I’m not too self-conscious about my ears. Besides, they’re great radar: they help me keep tabs on where the treats and toys are!
Read more about P Dot
I have a very sweet and gentle spirit, but when the toys come out I spring to life! Give me a ball to chase, a fishing pole or wand toy to pounce on, or just about anything with catnip, and I’m all over it! I’d love to have another cat to play with, but would also be okay as an only cat. I would get along great with a similarly-sweet dog, too. And I’d love to be a furry buddy for your kids!
As much as I enjoy playing (and snacks!), some of my favorite moments in the day are spent stretched out in a sunny window or next to my people for a nice, long nap. If your family is ready for a gentle, loving fur buddy, let’s get to know each other. Come meet me at PetSmart, or contact Best Friend Pet Adoption to find out how to adopt me.

17. Nyx
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 44 mi from Burlington



When Nyx first appeared in November 2025, she'd dart beneath the porch to hide. But every evening, she'd reappear on the Ring camera, calling out like the princess she is until her evening meal was served. After a couple weeks of coaxing (and plenty of irresistible food), she decided indoor life was more suitable for royalty, pushed her way inside, and made herself right at home. Unfortunately, the resident cat court was not pleased with this outsider and demanded her removal at once.
At an estimated 18 months old, Princess Nyx now has her own private quarters in her foster mom's office while she waits for her forever kingdom.
Read more about Nyx
She loves her Cattasaurus cat cave (which goes with her!), exploring paper bags, curling up beside her people, and lounging in sunny windows. She also takes her supervisory duties seriously and keeps a close eye on her foster mom's computer work and all arriving delivery people.
Nyx loves other cats, but after surviving life outdoors, she prefers feline companions who respect her royal boundaries. She'd love a chill cat buddy with good manners who won't rush the friendship.
She sports a small scar beneath her left eye from her former outdoor life, but every princess needs a good origin story, and Nyx says it only adds to her charm.

Ann Chovy
DOB: Feb 27, 2026 (exact)
Spayed Female Short Hair Torbie
Hello there! They call me Ann Chovy, which is kind of a silly name, but, then, I’m kind of a silly kitten! I’m a little bit torbie, which means I can be opinionated, but not too salty haha! If I need to get you do do something for me (feed me, playtime, cuddles, etc.), I’ll simply win you over with charm.
Like my sweet mama, Moira, I’m curious and affectionate. I’ll greet everyone at the door and will give every “new” person who visits a thorough sniff, just to make sure they’re okay (and then I’ll probably curl up on their lap).
Read more about Ann Chovy
Even though I can be a bit opinionated, underneath all that I am more sugar than spice. I bond hard and love deep. I love little kids (age 6 and older) and am absolutely fine with cat-friendly dogs. If you want to watch me really thrive, there should be another kitty in the home who appreciates my curiosity and affection (or can at least tolerate it haha).
If you’re ready to welcome a kitten who is very generous with her love – and opinions -- let’s get to know each other. Contact Best Friend Pet Adoption and tell them you want to meet Ms. Ann Chovy!

Okay, I know FW (Free Willy) is an unusual name for a kitten, but I do have an orca-pattern coat and a spirit that cannot be contained! I have one ambition: to live my best life every day!
Read more about Fw
But don’t get me wrong. Even though I have a wild spirit and a kitten’s energy, I am a deeply affectionate kitten who wants nothing more than to snuggle up with you at the end of the day. I’m super easy-going and get along great with everyone I meet – including dogs! I also enjoy spending time with kids, but since I’m still so little, they should be old enough to understand how to handle kittens safely.
My ideal home will have another cat for me to play with (and finish the kitty education that my wonderful mom, Moira, started).
If you’re looking for a high-spirited companion who loves adventure – or at least cuddling at the end of an adventure -- let’s get to know each other. Contact Best Friend Pet Adoption and tell them you want to meet FW!

Hey there, my name is Mack, and I pack a lot of confidence for a little kitten! My mama, Moira, taught me everything she knows about being a cat and I am a very good student.

I love to give soft, affectionate head-butts to get your attention, and when you notice me, my purr motor will fill up the room. As much as I love my human friends – and would be a great buddy for a kid – I really need another kitty friend to hang out with. If you have a dog in the home, I would be okay with that, as long as the dog is friendly and gentle with kittens.
So, if your family is looking for a little furry buddy with a confident, take-charge attitude and a rumbly purr, contact Best Friend Pet Adoption and let’s get to know each other.

Adopting a kitten in Burlington
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.
