She has gorgeous, black shiny fur, big golden eyes, and the most adorable, petite little body. Her signature move is to act all shy, walk up and sniff your hand, purr, then lean in for head scratches before flopping over onto her side asking for belly rubs. Are you looking for your cat to stay a kitten forever? Well then, French Toast is your girl. Donut and Muffin are gorgeous white and black tuxedo kittens. They look so much alike but Muffin has the cutest little patch of black on her chin. Her nickname is"Soul Patch," even though she's a girl. Because these babies came into foster care so young, they are great with people, dogs and other cats. Whether they're snuggling in the cat tree, playing with their toys, or racing around the house like a bunch of Energizer Bunnies, life is one big breakfast buffet of fun.Like any growing kittens, they're wonderfully playful, so they must be adopted with a sibling, their mom, or go to a home that already has another young, playful cat. They cannot be a single kitten in a household. The good news? Any combination of these three makes the perfect recipe!This incredible breakfast family has overcome so much together, and now they're ready for the happiest chapter yet—a forever home where they'll never have to worry about another meal, another cuddle, or another sunrise alone.So... who's ready to start every morning with breakfast and a side of purrs? Then bust these girls outta here and give them their forever homes!

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
