Like many playful kittens, Dragonfly is still learning that human hands and fingers aren't toys! When he gets excited, he may try to grab them with his teeth or claws.
Read more about Dragonfly
He'll need a patient adopter who can redirect his enthusiasm toward proper toys and help him learn good boundaries. He's a smart boy, and with gentle, consistent guidance, he can learn how to play appropriately. Dragonfly may take a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment, and he might initially hide while he gets his bearings. But once he starts to feel safe, his outgoing personality begins to shine! A gentle voice, loving pets, and a little reassurance will help him settle in and show you just how much affection he has to give. Dragonfly has a very special companion, too — his handsome, all-gray brother, Bumblebee! These two could make a wonderful pair for a family looking to welcome two kittens into their home. Bumblebee is the much shyer brother, and Dragonfly's more outgoing nature makes him quite the contrast to his reserved sibling. Be sure to read Bumblebee's bio, too! Are you ready for a little tuxedo-clad charm in your life? Dragonfly is looking for someone who will appreciate his playful antics, nurture his affectionate side, and give him the loving guidance every growing kitten needs.

His handsome brother, Dragonfly, is quite the opposite — a bold, outgoing boy in a dapper black tuxedo! These two make quite the pair, and adopting them together could be a wonderful way to welcome twice the kitten love into your home.
Read more about Bumble Bee
Be sure to read Dragonfly’s bio, too! One important consideration: Both boys came from an outdoor cat colony, so keeping them safely indoors is essential. Bumble Bee, in particular, currently seems very interested in finding a way back outside, even scratching at windows during his first week in a foster home. His new family will need to be especially vigilant about doors, windows, and other potential escape routes while he adjusts to indoor life. If you have a gentle heart and the patience to let a shy kitten blossom at his own pace, Bumblebee could be a very special addition to your family. There is something truly wonderful about watching a cautious little kitten grow into a confident, self-assured cat — and Bumble Bee deserves the chance to discover that kind of love and security!Complete the online adoption application to be the first to schedule a meet and greet with Bumble Bee and Dragonfly or visit them during our weekly adoption event at PetSmart, Bleachery Blvd, from 12-4pm.

27. Wilfie & Winnie
Kitten · Male · Tabby (medium coat) · 92 mi from Kingsport




HI! Hi hi hi! It's me, Wilfie!
Did you hear me? Everybody usually hears me!I'm a gray and tan tabby, six months old and full of things to say. Some people call it talking. I call it communicating. When I say "Hi!", I mean hi. When I say "Mrrrow!" around dinnertime, I mean it's time to eat, right now, please and thank you. I'm not hard to figure out!
My sister Winnie and I started out on a farm in rural Tennessee. At eight weeks old, we came to our first home together, and we've been indoor adventurers ever since. And adventures are my specialty.
Got a box? I'm in it. A tunnel? I'll zoom through it ten times.
Read more about Wilfie & Winnie
Something brand-new that just showed up? I've already sniffed it, batted it, and decided whether it's a toy. (It's usually a toy.) My favorite thing in the whole world is a fishing pole toy. Wave it around and watch me pounce, leap, and grab! I also love kick toys that I can hug tight and bunny-kick into next week. I don't miss a thing. Not one single thing!
But here's a secret: I'm a big snuggler too. I love hanging out with my family, wherever the action is. I like being held, and I really like rubs and pets. If you're scratching my chin, you've got a friend for life.
And Winnie, well, she's my best buddy. We roughhouse like champions, and then we flop down and hang out like nothing happened. If I can't see her, I go find her. Even a tough guy like me needs his sister. Sometimes we each like a little alone time too, but we always end up back together.
Our family's life changed, and they can't give us all the love and playtime we need anymore. So I'm saying it loud and clear, because that's how I say everything: we need a forever family! One with laps for snuggling, toys for chasing, and room in their hearts for TWO.
Love,Wilfie & Winnie

28. Winnie & Wilfie
Kitten · Female · Tabby (medium coat) · 92 mi from Kingsport




Hello there, friend. I'm Winnie. Please excuse me if I peek at you from behind the couch first. That's just how I say hello.
I'm a gray and silver tabby, six months old, with stripes that shimmer a little when the sunlight finds them. My brother Wilfie and I were born on a farm in the rolling hills of rural Tennessee. When we were just eight weeks old, we rode off to our very first home together. We've been indoor kitties ever since, and I think the indoors suits me just fine.
I'm a quiet girl, but I notice everything: the flutter of a curtain, the crinkle of a new bag, the way the light moves across the floor in the afternoon.
Read more about Winnie & Wilfie
If something new comes into the house, I'll be there, a little cautious at first, to give it a thorough inspection. Curiosity is my favorite hobby, right after napping.
And oh, the napping! My favorite spot is the very top of the cat tree, where I can keep watch over my whole kingdom. I also love a good hiding place: a cozy corner, a nook under a blanket, anywhere snug and secret. If you can't find me, I'm probably dreaming somewhere close by.
I do love attention, especially gentle pets once I know you. I also like my quiet time, and I'm happiest with a family who lets me come to them in my own sweet way. I promise the wait is worth it.
Then there's Wilfie. He's loud and bouncy and sometimes a bit much, but he's my Wilfie. We wrestle and chase and tumble until we're both worn out, and then we curl up together like we've always done. When he wanders out of sight, I go looking for him. And I know he does the same for me.
Our family had a change in their lives, and they can't give us the time and love we need anymore. So I'm asking, very softly, the way I ask for most things: will you keep us together? I'd love to find my forever spot at the top of your cat tree.
Love,Winnie & Wilfie

Adopting a kitten in Kingsport
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.
