Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Rock Hill, South Carolina

Amelia came to us from York County in mid February. She is probably close to 18 months old. The young family supporting her on their small farm was moving and didn't want to leave her behind, especially since Amelia was pregnant and about to deliver. Sure enough, four healthy kittens were born the evening of February 22. Rescue ferals come with a mixed bag of emotions and internal conflicts, always questioning the value of a relationship with humans. Amelia has all the challenging and funny quirks of being feral (born in the wild), but also the social advantages of having positive human contact. For example, she has no problem accepting food, yet is still learning how to accept affection. She likes to be pet but isn’t quite sure why she likes it. Amelia behaves very well with our own two adult rescues, but we feel she would do especially well if she were adopted with one of her kittens. You would be guaranteed to have a bonded pair. Her kittens are Rufus, Nelson, Humphrey, and Peta. All are healthy, chubby, and playful. You can read their story in a second adoption post. Our nominal adoption fee covers blood testing, deworming, vaccinations, and spay/neuter with a partner clinic. And since we appreciate that adult ferals require special consideration from special adopters, we will adjust the adoption fee accordingly. Amelia is FIV/FeLV negative and completely litter trained. To set up a visit, drop me a note at cherylsferalsandfosters@gmail.com or PM me. If you are considering adopting her, please fill out and submit the adoption contract found in The Adoption Process link on my website (cherylsferalsandfosters.com). In the meantime, you can follow their journey on Facebook: Cheryl’s Ferals and Fosters Chat Group. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3).

Amelia, a supported feral, came to us from the York County area on February 23, 2025 - the first litter of the year. Her babies were born the evening of February 22. The young family supporting her on their farm was moving and didn't want to leave her behind, especially since Amelia was pregnant and about to deliver. Sure enough, four healthy kittens were born the evening of February 22. For kitten names, we went across the pond to the UK. Since the 1920s, the Prime Minister's residence, 10 Downing Street, has had a cat with the official title "Chief Mouser." So here are Amelia's little Mousers: Rufus, our black male kitten, is named after the first ever Chief Mouser from the 1920s. Rufus is rambunctious and loves to wrestle with his mom. Humphrey, the dark gray male, is named after the mouser who served Margaret Thatcher. Humphrey loves to climb up in my lap to play. Nelson, the medium gray male kitten, is named after Winston Churchill's mouser. Nelson is the “thinker” of the group. He likes to sit back and watch before jumping in to play. And our female light gray kitten is Peta (short e sound). She is named after a cat from Scotland who was gifted to the Prime Minister and served in the 60s and 70s. Peta is the most adventurous of the litter. She was the first to come out of the crate, and loves exploring and climbing. She was also the first kitten to use the litter box on her own. We have a strong preference for littermates to be adopted in pairs, the advantage being you are guaranteed to have a bonded pair. When we adopt kittens out as singles, it’s almost always to homes with another cat or a cat-friendly dog. Although we specialize in orphan kittens, on the occasions we have a mom cat, the mom is often adopted with one of her kittens. Again, you are guaranteed a bonded pair. Note: Rufus is the kitten Amelia mothers the most. He’s vocal and gets lots of Amelia’s attention. Our adoption fee is $150 and covers FIV/FeLV testing, deworming, vaccinations, and spay/neuter with a partner clinic. To set up a visit, drop me a note at cherylsferalsandfosters@gmail.com or PM me.

Nala was rescued with her daughter Kiara after being discovered eating in a dumpster behind a local business. Lucky for them, the business owners are kind and caring people who made sure they found their way to us. Mommy Nala is only a year old and her daughter is almost 6 months. A startling example of kittens having kittens. They act more like siblings. They love to play with toys together and snuggling for lap time. Both girls have finished their vetting and are now ready to begin interviewing for their people. Nala has had age-appropriate vetting, is FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped and has been spayed.
