Story
Say hello to Basil and Everest – a purrfect pair of kittens that would transform your life and your home! They are not siblings, and while they are available to adopt separately, they compliment each other so well that their foster mom considers them one cat. Basil (calico female) has one leg that is orange tabby, which may be why Everest (orange tabby male) adopted her as his favorite playmate! Everest is about 7-8 months old (DOB 5/10/24) and he is Mr. Personality! He is VERY playful and friendly, and always happy to see his foster humans. He’s a pretty confident little guy, and loves getting love and attention from his foster mom when he isn’t engaged with Basil. Basil is about 9 months old (DOB about 4/1/24). She was found under a Good Samaritan’s porch and appears to be the last surviving member of her litter. Like most calicos, she is quirky. She plays HARD – especially with Everest but also with anything she thinks is a toy - but can be a little jumpy with new people and loud noises. She doesn’t seek out foster mom’s love, but when it is offered she usually melts into a purr puddle. They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, had all three distemper and the rabies vaccines, been wormed, had advantage for fleas, and been vet checked and neutered. May be adopted separately or as a pair (discount for two!) Preference will be given to local adopters and to adopters who have a young playmate companion for the kitten. We don’t think either kitten would do well as a solo pet, or that Basil would do well with most dogs. If interested in these cutie pies, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 or hhfrey1@tds.net    We are a small, private feline-only rescue group dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of homeless cats and kittens. The majority of our cats and kittens come from high kill shelters. Through our application and interview process, we strive to make the 'purrfect' match to insure a loving, lifelong home for those in our care. We do NOT receive funding from any national organization, federal or state governments.January 10, 2025, 12:02 pm

Story
Meet the “Nut” Kittens:  Pecan, Cashew, and Peanut.  Pecan is a beautifully marked girl (DoB about 9/1/24) who comes from a colony of kitties at an abandoned house. She is very friendly and inquisitive.  She is interested in being a lap cat, but still gets distracted by her desire to investigate. She would be a wonderful and entertaining match with her brother, Cashew and/or her sister Peanut. Her confidence suggests that she would be fine with a cat-friendly dog and nice children.  Cashew (DoB about 9/1/24) loves people, and if you stand where he can hop on your shoulder, he's on it. Like his sister Pecan, he's very inquisitive and loves to spend time investigating his surroundings. He loves to play and pounce with his siblings. We think he would do fine with a cat-friendly dog and nice children.   Peanut (DoB about 9/1/24) is the most reserved of our little 'nut' family. She's not a scaredy cat, and she does enjoy sitting by you accepting pets. She would likely be OK with a cat-friendly dog and quiet (older) children.  They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, had all three distemper and the rabies vaccines, been wormed, had advantage for fleas, and been vet checked, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.  Preference will be given to local adopters and to adopters who have a young playmate companion for the kitten. We typically do not adopt kittens less than 6 months old to homes where they will be a solo pet. May be adopted separately or as a pair (discount for two!)  If interested in these cutie pies, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 or hhfrey1@tds.net  We are a small, private feline-only rescue group dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of homeless cats and kittens.
