Pepperoni lives up to his name! He loves to eat and is working hard to maintain his rotund shape! Pepperoni is VERY friendly.

Kitten (3 months 16 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 49 mi from Fayetteville







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!

6. Nyx
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 30 mi from Fayetteville



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.

8. Kobe
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 30 mi from Fayetteville






Hey there human! My name is Kobe, and I am a 5 month old good boy. I came to the rescue as an orphaned kitten with my sister. She has since been adopted. I hope to find a home soon, I have been waiting for so long. I like to follow you around and gently rub up against your feet until you notice my sweet face! If you pick me up I will snuggle in your arms until I am ready to play again! I do get along with other cats, but of course the cat would have to tolerate my playful demeanor. I have been around children, and I have also met a couple dogs. I am a bit apprehensive of dogs but with time I will adapt!

Adopting a kitten in Fayetteville
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.
