Kittens for Adoption
( See our process and policies. )
Fun facts that will help you on this page! DSH means Domestic Short Hair, and DLH means Domestic Long Hair!
Dilute is the word we use when calicos/torties are grey instead of brown or black, and a tabby that also has calico/tortie markings is called a torbie!
Blackie • Male • Black DSH • Born April 2026
♥ Mojito and Blackie are bonding, and would go well as a pair!
Blackie was the only survivor of an illness that struck his litter, he came to us after having been found and nursed back to health by a good samaritan! He is intensely friendly, adores attention and has an unlimited battery for play- though he definitely needs to learn social cues when roughhousing! His enthusiasm is endless and it is a miracle we got him to sit (somewhat) still for his photos. He is wonderfully adaptable and could be socialized into any environment where he gets enough attention!
Like other kittens at the shelter, Blackie cannot be an only cat! He must either go home with another kitten, or go to a home that already has a sociable cat. At his age his socialization could be negatively impacted by being alone, as other cats are instrumental in teaching kittens not to play rough, how to communicate, and how to groom themselves!
Mojito • Male • Grey & white DSH • Born May 2026
♥ Mojito and Blackie are bonding, and would go well as a pair!
Mojito seems to think that he’s cool and independent, but he’s actually just as excited as any other kitten! He spent a period of time alone, and this means his social skills are slightly stunted—he has trouble regulating himself and can become overstimulated very easily, which causes him to hide for a few minutes until he is feeling confident again. He also vocalizes inappropriately, sometimes growling when overexcited or while eating (he’s all bark and no bite, though)! When he’s not overstimulated he loves cuddles and attention, immediately purring the second you pick him up.
He is learning how to play with other kittens and improves every day! Ideally he should go to a home with a sociable cat or another kitten to continue this journey, as behavioural issues can arise and worsen when kittens have not been taught how to communicate!
C & D Kittens
These sweeties are a bit of a special case. While they consist of two separate litters, they have spent most of their lives together, and can be adopted out in any configuration of pairs! The C’s were born in May, 2026, and the D’s were born in late April.
All of these kittens are good for nail trims and do not have any issues with biting or swatting! They have been exposed to dogs (both large and small), other cats, children, vacuum cleaners and other household noises! They are wonderful with all of those things, even to the point of playing with dogs and chasing vacuum cleaners! They have also been exposed to harnesses/leashes and car rides.
Clove • Male • Black DSH
Clove is a very polite young man who greatly enjoys being scratched on his haunches. He loves to observe and pretend like he doesn’t desperately want affection, but whenever affection is given to him he eats it up!
His politeness extends to his littermates and friends as well- not just people- as his social skills are impeccable and he respects the boundaries of other kittens!
Cinnamon • Female • Torbie & white DSH
Cinnamon hasn’t quite figured out how to cuddle, as she seems to tense up (while purring) every time she is held, but she is easily the most curious and adventurous of the bunch! She shares her brother’s politeness and advanced social skills when it comes to other kittens, but was the first one out and about upon arriving to the shelter. She’s reserved but doesn’t hide, and is wonderful for nail trims. She is also VERY sleepy!
Derby • Male • Grey DLH
Derby picks and chooses his people. Currently his favourite perch is wayyy up high in the kitten room with his sister, Dover, observing visitors and staff alike. In his previous foster home (and when being handled by shelter employees) his true personality has come out! He is extremely adventurous, climbing the walls of cages and running up to his favourite people for attention. He is a huge cuddlebug once you get to know him!
Dover • Female • Dilute tortie DLH
Dover is a kindred spirit with her brother, Derby, though she is less outgoing! She wiggles a bit when held, but loves pets nonetheless, even if she seems to always keep her cards close to her chest. She loves watching the other kittens play and jumping in at the perfect time, always calculating her next move!
Durham • Female • Dilute tortie DSH
Durham is a sweetie who is absolutely, unequivocally, full of beans. She gets the most intense zoomies out of anyone in the kitten room, and crashes twice as hard. She loves being held, upside down or right-side-up, and purrs like mad every single time she is pet. She’s the fastest to warm up to new people out of her litter!
Dudley • Female • Dilute torbie DSH
Dudley is an inquisitive, gentle cuddlebug who adores attention. She is never certain about how to ask for it, though, typically following people around but hiding when approached! Like all of the C’s and D’s, her temperament is wonderful and she is very good at self regulation.
Like other kittens at the shelter, these kittens can not be alone! They must either go home with another kitten, or go to a home that already has a sociable cat. At their age their socialization could be negatively impacted by being alone, as other cats are instrumental in teaching kittens not to play rough, how to communicate, and how to groom themselves!
Animal Adoptions of Flamborough has been taking in and caring for kittens for over 30 years. Raising kittens takes a great deal of devotion including early health care, vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, love, and socialization.
As a result, we will care for them until 14 to 16 weeks of age when they will be more developed and socialized so it will be easier to introduce your new addition into your family and other pet’s lives.
AAF Kitten Adoption Process:
1. Submit your application to adopt a kitten(s) by clicking this link!
2. You will receive an email or a phone call for a phone interview within a few days of receipt of your application.
3. The next step would be to arrange a Meet & Greet at the shelter with our available kittens.
There will only be a Foster-to-Adopt period (7 days) for kittens being integrated into a home with other pets and/or young children.
After the steps above, if you have been approved for a kitten adoption, the Adoption Fee of $280 can be paid by cash, cheque, e-transfer, debit or credit card. Adopting a pair of kittens has an Adoption Fee of $480
Your Adoption Fee includes the following:
-
- Initial vet visit and physical exam
- Microchip Implant and registration
- FIV/Fel. Leuk TEST at 16 weeks of age
- Revolution flea/tick/ear mite Medication
- Deworming Medication
- 1st, 2nd, and 3rd vaccinations (including Rabies)
- Spay or Neuter surgery at six months of age, arranged by us at a vet of our choice. NOTE: We do not cover the cost of any pre-anesthesia bloodwork or the cost of a post-surgical onesie.
⚠️ We recommend that you initiate a regular vet schedule for your kitten/ cat including yearly vaccinations and checkups.
Benefits of Adopting an Older Kitten:
- More time spent with siblings and with foster families means that kittens have better manners and social / life skills.
- More litter box & grooming experience.
- Exposure to scratching posts and boards.
- Their bones are more developed, lessening the chances of injury from jumping, playing or exploring.
- Younger kittens are more likely to get into small openings (vents, furniture, etc.) without being noticed.
