Meet the M Crew!

Four ridiculously fluffy, outrageously purry kittens looking for their forever homes! 🐾❤️

Born 7/20/26, these three girls and one boy are the complete package: playful, affectionate, confident, a little opinionated, and absolutely convinced the humans exist to serve them. Every single one comes with factory-installed purr motors that starts the minute you touch them!

And apparently their feral momma, believed in monogramming her children. Every one of them arrived with a very distinct M stamped on their forehead. So we took the hint!

Michaela – The fluffy intellectual. She may look like she's judging you, but she's probably just in deep thought. She's a sweet, sassy lap cat who believes choosing one toy is ridiculous when you can simply sit in the entire toy bin.

Mickey – The tiny fashionista with a permanent white shrug. She's the smallest of the bunch, but don't let that fool you. She's a playful little wrestler who loves carrying her toys around and melting into human hands.

Misha – Our sweet, opinionated little rebel with a full tattoo sleeve. Mom didn't approve, but considering Mom tattooed her forehead first, Misha feels she had every reason to believe tattoos were encouraged in this family.

Michael – The only boy, the biggest sibling, and our self-appointed refrigerator inspector. He's a professional wrestler when it comes to his sisters, but touch him and that tough-guy act disappears instantly.

All four are being raised on a raw food diet, are wonderfully socialized, and have that perfect combination of kitten mischief and snuggly sweetness.

They'll each need a young feline companion to match their energy, so if you don't already have one, adopt two! Trust me, they'll entertain each other AND you.

They're available through Whisker Mission, and I would LOVE to see these little personalities find their people.

Four little M's. A whole lot of personality. Who's taking home a couple? ❤️

Hi! I’m Mickey! I celebrate my birthday on 7/20/26, and Foster Mommy has apparently decided my name gives her permission to sing to me.

“I’m Mickey, I’m so fine, I’m so fine, you’ll lose your mind, I’m Mickey—yea, I’m Mickey!” 🎶

I have no idea what she’s talking about. Also, she’s not that great of a singer. I tolerate it because she has hands, and those hands rub me all over until I melt. The hands can stay.

I’m a fluffy gray-and-white tabby girl with a natural white collar around my neck and white front legs that make it look like I’m wearing a tiny shrug. Some may try to tell you shrugs are out, but they don’t know what they’re talking about. I was born fashionable, and that’s all there is to say about that.

I may be the smallest in my litter, but that has never stopped me from climbing, wrestling with my siblings or carrying my favorite toys around like prized possessions. When I’m done, I’m equally committed to snuggling and snoozing. Touch me and I purr immediately. I try to hold it in to maintain some dignity, but apparently my body has other plans.

I would love a home with a young feline friend to play and snuggle with. If you don’t already have one, I will kindly accept one of my siblings as an acceptable alternative. Check out Misha, Michaela, and Michael!

Hi! I’m Misha! I’m a fluffy buff-gray-and-white tabby girl, and I celebrate my birthday on 7/20/26. Like all my siblings, I arrived with a very distinct “M” tattooed right on my forehead. Apparently our mom believes if you’re going to have children, you should monogram them. The humans got the message and gave us all M names.

Now, I also happen to have a full tattoo sleeve running down my front left arm. Mom claims she did NOT approve that one, but considering she tattooed my forehead before I was even born, I think it was perfectly reasonable for me to assume tattoos were allowed in this family. Look at it. It’s amazing. I have no regrets.

I’m a people kitty through and through. I’m chill, sweet and very happy hanging out with my humans. I purr the second you touch me, so if you don’t like that, move along. We’re probably not compatible anyway.

I also have opinions. Quite a few, actually, and I see no reason to keep them to myself. I’ll tell you what’s what, but I’m not obnoxious about it. I just believe good communication is important in a relationship.

I have moderate kitten energy and love climbing, wrestling with my siblings and launching myself after wand toys. I know how to have a good time, and I also know how to chill.

I need a home with a young feline friend who can wrestle, play and grow up with me. If you don’t already have one, I happen to know three fluffy, extremely purry candidates named Michaela, Mickey, and Michael. Put two names on the application. Problem solved.

Hi! I’m Michael! Mom gave Foster Mommy the inspiration for our names when she decided all four of us should have matching tattoos. A giant M right on our foreheads. Mine is by far the most prominent, so naturally she named me Michael and gave my sisters versions of my name. THAT is how important I am.

I celebrate my birthday on July 20, 2026, and I’m pretty easygoing about most things. Dinner is not one of them. You will never call me late for dinner. I take food very seriously. The second the refrigerator opens, I jump in and head straight to the back. You simply cannot know what’s in a refrigerator by standing outside of it.

Foster Mommy says this scares the bejesus out of her because she’s afraid she’ll close the door on me. I’ve explained that I know what I’m doing. She continues to worry. I’m the biggest of my siblings and the only boy, which comes with responsibilities. My sisters need regular wrestling practice, and I make sure they get it.

I have big kitten energy, so I’ll need a young feline friend in my new home who appreciates wrestling, playing and having me involved in whatever they’re doing.
For all my big-boy swagger, I do have a soft side. Touch me and I melt, and my purr motor turns on immediately. I see no reason to pretend I don’t enjoy being adored.

If you’re looking for a big, goofy, affectionate boy who will keep your cat entertained and your refrigerator thoroughly inspected, I’m available. And if you need another one, you can consider one of my sisters Mickey, Misha, or my twin Michaela.

Hi! I’m Michaela! I celebrate my birthday on 7/20/26, along with my twin brother Michael. We’re fraternal twins. Obviously. He’s a boy. I’m a girl. I really didn’t think that needed explaining, but apparently we’re putting it in my bio.

I’m a gorgeous mitted gray-and-white tabby with extra-fluffy fur that sticks up like I’ve been permanently surprised by something. I’m not vain. I have eyes. It also makes me ridiculously soft, which works out quite well for everyone involved. I’m sweet, a little sassy and very serious about my snuggling. I love curling up with my feline friends, and I’ll happily settle into a human lap when I decide it’s Michaela Cuddle Time.

If I were forced to admit I have one weakness, it’s this: I have absolutely no poker face. The second you touch me, my purr starts instantaneously. I try to play hard to get, but apparently I have one fatal flaw—full-body rubs with human hands. I simply cannot resist them. I’m also a bit of a deep thinker. Sometimes I sit quietly and stare at the humans with a very serious expression. I’m not judging you. I’m just in deep thought. Probably.

I’ve determined that choosing just one toy is completely unnecessary. Sometimes I just simply climb into the toy bin and sit on all of them. I stand by this decision.

I’ll need a young feline friend in my new home to play and snuggle with. If you don’t have one of those, don’t fret! I happen to have siblings (Michael, Misha, and Mickey) who also need homes, are equally as fluffy and purr like I do, so jot down two names on that application and let the magic happen!
