Meet Echo, a little shy guy is slowly but surely trusting humans. He was born in a 'cat colony' where there is little human touch. After he was trapped, he spent weeks in a foster home where he bonded with other kittens his size but wary of any humans. After a while, he realized where his food and warm blankets were coming from and decided to open his heart a little at a time. At Homeward Bound, he is exposed to numerous people every day and he is coming around. He actually loves to be held closely and climb on your shoulder for a better view of what else is going on around him. He rewards you with loud purrs and every now and then, we get a hint of "biscuit making".

Finn is a handsome orange and white kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At about six months old (9/21/26), he's already proven himself to be brave, curious, and endlessly affectionate.

He loves to explore new areas, play with toys, and greet everyone he meets with happy purrs. Whether he's lounging in his favorite bed or trotting over to say hello, Finn's gentle confidence shines through.

Finn is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all core kitten vaccines, including FeLV. He has also tested negative for FeLV/FIV.

Nash - 3 Months Old (9/21/26), Gentle Kitten Who Loves Belly Rubs

Nash is a sweet, laid-back white kitten with adorable speckles on his head and heart full of love. At almost three months old, he's calm, affectionate, and happiest when he's rolling over for belly rubs.

He enjoys quiet playtime, cozy naps, and gentle attention - the kind of kitten who melts into your hands and makes every day a little softer.

Nash is up-to-date on all core kitten vaccines, including FeLV, and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. His future neuter and microchip are included in his adoption fee, so he'll be ready for his forever home.

Meet Gnocchi! Gnocchi is a 7 month old long-haired gray tabby M (DOB about 4/1/26). This little guy is full of energy and confidence. When he was introduced to his foster home, he immediately went into the investigative mode, checking out the other cats, greeting them to show he was not intimidated. He wants to be by his humans all the time. Prepare to be entertained by a big personality! He LOVES everyone as soon as he meets them. He is VERY playful and active. He loves to play with toys or other cats and is never bored. He likes to be held and to snuggle. He gets along well with cats, and we think he'd be great with dogs and kids.

Meet Patches -

Patches. Let’s be honest, Patches knows she’s pretty. This little girl looks like she was born for the camera. Every picture seems to say, “Yes, I know. You can take another one.” But underneath that gorgeous face is an incredibly sweet kitten who would rather be curled up on the couch with you than anywhere else.

Patches can absolutely keep up with her siblings when they start running, wrestling, and causing caos. She just doesn’t see why she should have to when the couch exists. She loves cuddles, loves, being close to her people, and has a gentle sweetness that makes it very easy to fall for her.

Meet

Oreo-if kittens had a girl-next-door, Oreo would be her. She’s sweet, friendly and somehow manages to be friends with everybody. Oreo loves being where the action is and has no trouble keeping up with her siblings when playtime gets wild. But she’s just as happy settling in beside you when the excitement is over.

Meet Domino-

Let’s be honest, Patches knows she’s pretty. This little girl looks like she was born for the camera. Every picture seems to say, “Yes, I know. You can take another one.” But underneath that gorgeous face is an incredibly sweet kitten who would rather be curled up on the couch with you than anywhere else.

Meet Dusk

Dusk is the cool guy. He’s laid-back, easygoing, and always seems perfectly happy just hanging out and enjoying the vibes. He is known to roughhouse especially with his brother. When it’s time to wrestle, chase, tumble, and act like little boys, Dusk is right there with him. When he’s playing with his sisters, he’s noticeably more gentle. He seems to know that his sisters deserve the softer version of Dusk, which makes him a pretty sweet little gentleman underneath all that boyish energy.

Onyx - Born 6/25/26, Just Under 2lbs, Bold Little Midnight Boy

Onyx is a tiny solid-black fuzzy boy with the spirit of a much bigger kitten. He's one of those babies who carries himself with quiet confidence - curious, observant, and always ready to join in when something fun is happening.

Born on June 25, 2026, Onyx has that classic "midnight kitten" charm: soft, sleek fuzz, bright eyes, and a gentle presence that makes him easy to love. He enjoys exploring, snuggling into cozy spots, and following his siblings around like the thoughtful little shadow he is.

Mittens - Born 6/25/26, 2 lbs, Playfull Little Gentleman

Mittens is one of Tinker's six adoptable kittens - a tiny tuxedo boy with perfect white paws, a black teardrop on his nose, and a black chine that gives him a mischievous, charming look.

He's a friendly, playful little guy who loves attention and exploring his world. Mittens is curious, confident, and always ready for a cuddle or game.

Mittens is up-to-date on core kitten vaccinations and will be neutered at the appropriate size, even after adoption, so his future family can rest easy knowing his care is covered.

Scooter - Born 6/25/26, 2 lbs, Special Tuxedo Boy with a Big Spirit

Scooter is a tiny tuxedo sweetheart with white mittens, a white strip up his nose, with a black teardrop marking, and a soft black chin that gives him the most precious little face. He may be small, but he carries a huge amount of charm and resilience.

Born on June 25, 2026, Scotter has a unique challenge: his front paws curl under, making his walk a little different from other kittens. Because Tinker was such a small mama, there was likely overcrowding in the womb, Scooter - along with one of his brothers - developed this special need.

Tinker - 1 Year Old, 6 lbs., Sweet, Tuxedo Mom

Tinker is a petite, friendly girl who showed up as a stray and quickly proved she had a heart full of love - and six beautiful kittens to show for it! Now that her babies are weaned, this little lady is ready for a home of her own.

She's a black and white tuxedo beauty, gentle and affectionate, with a calm nature that makes her easy to love. Tinker enjoys attention and settle right in once she knows she's safe.

Tinker is up-to-date on vaccinations, FeLV & FIV negative, and her spay is scheduled for September 2, 2026.
