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 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.

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.
