*** DRACO AND YIPPEE ARE LOCATED IN A FOSTER HOME IN ROCKAWAY, NEW JERSEY AND AVAILABLE FOR A MEET AND GREET PRIOR TO ADOPTION WITH AN APPROVED APPLICATION*** Meet Draco, Tercy (Adopted) & Yippee! Three adorable 7–8-week-old kittens are now ready to find their forever homes! Draco, Tercy, and Yippee are friendly, well-socialized, and all-around awesome little kittens with big personalities packed into tiny bodies. These sweet babies have been raised in a loving home since birth and have spent their short lives around people. They absolutely love being held, cuddled, and showering you with purrs. They are playful, affectionate, curious, and wonderfully entertaining. What makes them special: • Sweet, cuddly, and playful • Very friendly and well socialized • Love being held and are little purring machines • Great potential companions for children and first-time cat owners • Will happily follow you around the house • Always ready for a cuddle • Love toys, chasing balls, and getting into kitten mischief • Would enjoy having their own toys to keep them busy • Can happily live with other cats • With proper, gradual introductions, they can also live with dogs These kittens are curious little explorers, and they definitely have no shame in their game! When they get bored, they are known for finding their own entertainment—which can sometimes mean getting into things they shouldn't. For this reason, we strongly recommend adopting more than one kitten, or having another friendly cat or kitten in the home for companionship and play. They thrive when they have a furry friend to interact with. Draco, Tercy, and Yippee are tiny, spunky, affectionate bundles of joy who will keep you smiling and entertained for years to come. Please consider giving one—or two—of these gorgeous little kitties the loving forever home they deserve! These kittens are tested negative for FIV/FLV, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, and current on de-wormer. They received a clean bill of health from a veterinarian on September 16th. The adoption fee is $275, which included the transport from Texas to the East coast.

***OLIVER IS LOCATED IN A FOSTER HOME IN ROCKAWAY, NEW JERSEY AND AVAILABLE FOR A MEET AND GREET PRIOR TO ADOPTION WITH AN APPROVED APPLICATION*** Meet Oliver! Born around July 30, 2026 - Oliver has already experienced more in his short life than any kitten should. Him and his siblings were found roaming around a home in South Texas with their mom. They were starving, frightened, and understandably nervous. Thankfully, their finders safely placed the little family in their outdoor catio and reached out to us for help. Today, Mom and all three kittens are safe in adoptive and foster homes, where they are finally learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and cared for. Oliver is the last remaining of the litter available for adoption Oliver is a male kitten with gorgeous honey-golden eyes. Like his siblings, he is a little timid, but underneath that uncertainty is a very sweet, gentle baby who is beginning to discover the joy of being a kitten. Oliver is litterbox trained and is slowly learning how wonderful toys, playtime, affection, and a safe home can be. This baby has been through a lot in his very short life, and he is still learning to trust, and he needs a family who understands that his confidence may not come overnight. Oliver does not need perfection. He needs patience. He needs kindness. He needs understanding. He needs someone willing to show him, day by day, that he is finally safe. He is learning what love is. Oliver was eating out of the fosters hand within 10 minutes of arriving - he is not as shy as he lets on! He is learning that humans are not a bad thing. Just look at how less than 24 hours within arriving in New Jersey, he was already cuddling with his foster and sleeping on her! Oliver desperately wants to be a lap cat. He is slowly learning how to be kittens instead of living in survivor mode. With time, patience, and a whole lot of love, we know this beautiful baby will blossom into a wonderful companion. Please consider giving Oliver the chance he deserves — a safe, loving, forever home where he can finally leave his difficult beginning behind and discover just how wonderful life can be. He has survived. Now it's his turn to live, play, love, and be loved. Oliver is neutered, tested negative for FIV/FLV, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, and current on de-wormer. He received a clean bill of health from a veterinarian on September 18th. His adoption fee is $275 which included his transport from Texas to the East Coast .

Story
Hi, I'm Ivan! I'm 5 months old, and I'm pretty sure I'm part cloud, part kitten. My foster says I'm a Russian Blue mix - that explains my velvety grey-blue fur, my big green eyes, and my very important job of supervising everything you do. My skills include: Olympic-level feather wand hunting, expert biscuit-making, purring at maximum volume, and looking extremely handsome while napping. I'm a sensitive soul - loud noises aren't my favorite - but once I know I'm safe, I'm all in. I'll greet you at the door, sleep at the foot of your bed, and keep your keyboard warm while you work. If you're looking for a loyal, sweet, playful best friend who will grow up with you, I'm your guy. Love, Ivan Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to add Ivan to your family.September 20, 2026, 9:28 pm
