The Selden family has been rescuing kittens from a nearby feral colony since 2022. We trap, socialize, and rehome the kittens to welcoming families.

These cats have never known what it’s like to be loved by a human, but caring touch combined with a full belly and a safe environment leads to the most amazing transformations. We focus on kittens because they are young enough that they don’t yet have the fear and aggression that is characteristic of adult ferals. With our efforts the kittens are able to be rehomed and their behavior is indistiguishable from normal housecats.

Thanks to the support of our friends, family, and community, we have placed dozens of kittens in wonderful forever homes. We’ll keep helping these cats for as long as we can and as long as we’re needed.

Blossom

From the very first day she arrived, Blossom has been the definition of a “people person.” She doesn’t just want to be in your house—she wants to be in your life. With a heart as big as her personality, she is an incredibly affectionate kitten who thrives on connection. If you’re looking for a companion who will greet you at the door with a happy chirp and a constant, rumbling purr, Blossom is your girl. She is a social butterfly who loves to cuddle with her sisters, play with the family dogs, and most importantly, snuggle up with her humans. Whether she’s engaged in a high-energy play session or is content to be your “velcro kitten,” she brings a joyful, loving energy to every room she enters.

Bubbles

Meet the perfect companion for your home: a breathtakingly beautiful white kitten who looks like she stepped straight out of a winter fairytale. With her snowy-white fur (except for a tiny smudge of black on the back of her neck), delicate pink nose and soft, velvety ears, she’s the perfect “porcelain doll” of the feline world. She is a total sweetheart who lives for (and demands!) human interaction. She’s highly affectionate, demands to be held, and has a ‘purr motor’ that never seems to turn off!

Buttercup

If you’re looking for a kitten with a big personality, look no further than Buttercup. As the “baby” of the litter, Buttercup was known for her sophisticated tastes—she even demanded to be bottle-fed for an entire week longer than her sisters! She knows she’s the star of the show, and she’s looking for a family who will treat her like the queen she is. She is a stunning, sleek black beauty with a tiny, distinctive hint of white on her chest. She is curious, confident, and ready to find a lap to rule over. If you want a kitten with a lot of character and a heart of gold, Buttercup is waiting for you.

Sunny

Sunny and her kitten were dumped on campus this fall. They were both extremely skinny but otherwise healthy and they clearly were comfortable around people. Unfortunately our house is full, and so we just didn’t have room for her so we immediately got her feral spayed with plans to rerelease her on campus. The catch is that it took her all of twelve hours recovering at our house to convince us that she didn’t belong in the feral colony and we needed to find her a home.

Smudge

Smudge was the third kitten to get caught from the park litter, but it was their second time getting trapped. They were the one that managed to slip away when Millie was caught. Despite that, they are warming up to people very quickly and really seem to enjoy sitting on laps once you’re settled down. Smudge is very adventuresome and eager to explore, but always comes right back when the food comes out.

Millie

Millie is the second kitten caught from the litter found at a nearby park. Millie is smaller than her littermates (except Rusty who was severely malnourished), long-haired, and all black. Millie can be a little surly when you first pick them up but they warm up to cuddles very quickly and within minutes are nestled in purring on your lap.

Hershey

Hershey is a neutered male. He is one of two black kittens (but with a trace of tuxedo white on his chin and belly) that arrived along with his litter mates near Mothers’ Day. While humans a little bit tall and scary, it doesn’t take long for Hershey to settle down and purr while you hold him close to your chest and pet his head. It’s clear that Hershey will be a huge cuddlebug!

Kit Kat

Kit Kat is a spayed female. She is the pure tabby from a litter of kittens found together in the Pocket neighborhood of Sacramento. She has very striking marking with stripes so prominent that you can see her long lost relations to her tiger bretheren. One of the most adventurous kittens we’ve had, she is always among the first to discover the new toys or treats that show up in her crate. She will keep their forever family busy but don’t worry, she’s also a big fan of cuddles.

Skittles

Skittles is a spayed female. She arrived along with her litter mates at the same time we still had kittens from Dolly’s litter. We’re still getting to know her personality but Skittle’s huge eyes and oversized ears will win you over! Playful and curious, she’s warming up to humans very quickly and getting used to having a full belly!

Tootsie

Tootsie is a spayed female. She came in with her litter mates from a friend who lives close by. She’s black with hints of white tuxedo on her chin and belly and when she’s not wrestling with her siblings, she loves being held close and pet. She’ll stay with you until she notices a toy that desperately needs her attention, but it’s nothing personal. Tootsie is hoping your forever home is the right one for her!

Bee

Bee is one of the few adult (adolescent, actually) cats that we’ve removed from campus. Living in the most populous part of the colony, we saw Bee as a kitten but were unable to trap them despite weeks of trying. When Bee was about 6 months old, some of the folks who feed the cats reached out to us believing them to be pregnant. We were able to track Bee down and got convinced of the same.
