Foster Kitten HQ

Michael & Star 🩵 another snuggle buddy for this sweet orange boy!

I challenge you to find me something cuter than a pile of sleeping kittens 😴

The whole gang (Lucy off camera in the bottom right) have been an absolute pleasure the past couple of months.
They arrived in June, just hours old and already thriving. Little David may have been exceptionally small, but it didn’t take long for everyone to grow into big strong kittens.

They left here on Wednesday, had their spay/neuter surgeries yesterday, and are each ready to start their new journey!

Goodbye, babies 🩵

What does Sam see? 👀


Words cannot express how sweet Sam and her siblings are 🩵

Edgar is the derpiest derp that ever did derp 🤓

Oh hi, Lucy 👋🏻

Look out, Sam, David’s coming!

We’ve got to rest up, it’s a big week for us!

Caption this! 💬⬇️

Lounge around all day and wait for humans to return for cuddles? We can do that 👌🏻

When I say this litter are very close to each other, I mean it quite literally 🐱

It’s a lazy Sunday for some of us 😴

Not much longer left with these babies 🥹 on Wednesday they will head back in to the shelter in preparation for their spay & neuter surgeries.
They’ll then head to their forever homes!

I’ve had a lot of interest for this group, and most now do have applications in from their first in line - for the remaining, I am still holding meetings with their people, but hopefully they should have theirs in soon too.

If you didn’t manage to get in quick enough for this litter, don’t be discouraged! We have a *lot* of kittens currently available for adoption, and coming up in the next week or so - please head to our shelter’s website www.awla.org to find your new friends. They are all looking for their homes too, so you can help!
The site updates daily, so make sure you check regularly for new kittens.

Edgar 🩵 my big baby

We have this little chair outside our bedroom door, which I refer to as “the waiting room.”
This is because the cats sit on the chair and wait to be let in the room 😅 the kittens have been really enjoying it, and quite often I’ll go upstairs to find them all cuddled up on their comfy couch 🛋️




(yes our cats are allowed in our room, no we don’t give them free access - Colman & Tabasco would destroy everything in there)

Happiness is… Alan napping with his favourite humans 😸

What do you think? Are Lucy and Sam causing mischief today?

⭐️ Lucy ⭐️

Brave Lucy, she has the strongest independent streak, but spends most of her time with her siblings. She has been interested in the big cats, and loves to explore the house. She’s playful, and she’s super sweet - jumping and pouncing on all the toys, and cuddling up on my lap. She likes to cry endlessly for attention and/or food, and loves to suckle on my hand for comfort.


✨ Lucy currently has a home lined up ✨

⭐️ Edgar ⭐️

My big baby, Edgar is a love bug. He’ll look deeply into my soul… and then barge his way into my hand, convinced he can dig for milk! This guy is forever hungry. He likes to be close, and would love to snuggle up to your face. Of course, Edgar is also a very active boy who loves to pounce and attack interactive toys and his siblings.

Edgar would love to go home with a sibling if possible, the whole litter will definitely need a very young & very active playmate to let out their play aggression on.

Spay/neuter surgeries should be next week, and the kittens must be collected directly from AWLA in Arlington 24-48 hours after surgery. Adopters should be local to the DC/MD/VA area.

✨ If you are interested in adopting, please send me a DM with the names of the kittens you are interested in, and you will be added to their list ✨

Availability is not guaranteed - they are also posted on the shelter’s website, and lists are made on a first come, first reviewed basis. There are some overlaps in pairs, so consider having a second choice as a backup.
Meet & greets will be held via zoom.

⭐️ Michael ⭐️

A true best friend, Michael is always the first to find me in the house, and loves to offer his assistance with work and chores. Michael is a little maniac with the purest soul. When he’s playful, he’s very playful! And when he’s sweet, he’s very sweet. His favourite thing is suckling on my hand as he purrs and makes biscuits.

⭐️ Star ⭐️

Star is a brave girl who loves adventure. With boundless curiosity, she’s always keen to climb new things, explore new places, and meet new friends. The craziest of the girls, Star loves to wrestle everyone, leap as high as she can for the wand toys, and attack the butterfly toy. More than that, she likes to set her siblings in her sight and rough & tumble!
Between her antics, you’ll find her coming over for pets and affection, and a warm lap to sleep on.

⭐️ Alan ⭐️

My little wild man, Alan is all “go go go”! Sure, he’s a sweet boy who loves to purr and snuggle, and curl up on my lap for a nap.. but Alan is here for the entertainment. With permanent zoomies, and the moved of an Australian breakdancer, Alan can keep you entertained for hours with his flips and rolls. The only thing better than showing off his performance is having siblings to sneak attack all day long!

⭐️ Sam ⭐️

Sweet Sam, she’s a great mix of cuddly and playful. She pounces, jumps for toys, zooms around and wrestles her siblings. She also likes to explore the cat trees, and stare sweetly at me for some pets. Sam loves to cuddle when she’s tired out, but she’ll be trying to play with you until she falls asleep.

⭐️ David ⭐️

The most gentle soul, David is the quieter one of the bunch - sometimes he can have a few nerves when in new situations, but he gets over that quickly!
A sweet snuggler, David loves falling asleep on my leg.. but don’t let that fool you! He is a very playful boy, just like his siblings. He loves to play with his toys and wrestle his brothers & sisters.

My couch buddies 🩵

Michael and Edgar are the best little companions you could ask for!

Sam hopes your Sunday’s as sweet as she is 🧁

We are ready for adoption inquiries! Won’t you take us home?! (And David of course, not pictured.)

They *should* be ready to head to their new homes during the week of the 19th, so I’ll be conducting virtual meet & greets leading up to that point.

Adopters must be within or nearby the dc/md/va area and be able to collect directly from AWLA in Arlington VA on a designated date.
These guys are VERY playful, and aren’t the type who would enjoy the solo pet life.
They need to have an appropriate release for their play aggression, so it’s important that they have another kitten (or young energetic adult) as a lifelong companion. This is purely in the best interest of these kittens, who spend all of their time wrestling one another!
Preference to them going home in pairs with a sibling.

All 7 kittens are incredibly sweet and loving, and while they have slightly different personalities, they’re all very similar. Feel free to message with questions.

Meet and greets will be virtual only. Due to the volume of fosters I have, we don’t hold in-person meet & greets in our home.

If you are interested in adopting, please DM me, let me know which kittens you are interested in, and I’ll compile a list which I will later work through for the zoom meetings.
Official applications will be submitted online via AWLA once the meeting has taken place.


*Lucy is unavailable*

Handsome Alan and his beautiful eyes 🩵

He’s hoping you’ll take him home (..with a sibling?)
We are ready to start taking inquiries for the Lost Boys crew. They should hopefully be ready to head to their new homes during the week of the 19th, so I’ll be conducting virtual meet & greets in the coming week(s).

Adopters must be local/close by to the dc/md/va area and be able to collect directly from the shelter in Arlington VA.
This group are very bitey when they’re feeling playful, and would not make good solo pets at all.
