Adoptable Kittens
Sponsorship helps Save A Life! Sponsor an at-risk animal from our rescue. Cats and kittens are from owner relinquishment, abandoned rentals or the streets. Money is used for vaccinations, deworming and spaying. Your sponsorship or donation pays it forward for the next animal in need.

If you would like to foster or adopt, contact Quailwings Rescue at 406-229-1042 leave a message. We are working with kittens daily and sure could use the help!
We haven't gone anywhere. We have been taking in cats who owners have passed away. Currently, we have five pregnant 6 month old kittens, three non-pregnant 6 month kittens and two litters of kittens three weeks old. We are working to get them vetted and moving onto to the forever homes. If you would like to foster a cat or pregnant cat and her oncoming litter, send a message to [email protected].
See the fun you are missing by not fostering a litter and helping healthy, happy kittens to be adopted to loving families.
Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates or a similarly-aged companion tend to be healthier and happier, and in the long run, better socialized pets than those who are isolated from others of their kind at an early age. Based on this fact, we offer a special discount for kittens that are adopted with a sibling or a kitten the same age from the same foster family.
Single kitten syndrome is the idea that young kittens, when raised with other young kittens and cats and then adopted into a home by themselves, can become aggressive, anxious, stressed, and even develop behavioral issues like inappropriate chewing/scratching and inappropriately using the litterbox.

A kitten's whiskers are as long as their body is wide.
Your kittens might enjoy having an affectionate grooming and napping partner. As well as having someone to play with and learn from, siblings can also offer affection to each other. By adopting sibling pairs, your new kittens will have someone to clean or to clean them as well as someone to cuddle during nap time.

Little Bear is a 10 month old DSH Gray/White Tabby. She entered the rescue with her sisters and brothers. The sisters were pregnant at various stages.

Little Bear is a loving mother and rarely leaves her kittens except for human cuddles and a bit to eat.

By adopting sibling pairs, your new kittens will have someone to clean or to clean them as well as someone to cuddle during nap time.
The sensitive period for such learning to occur in cats is between 2 – 7 weeks of age. During this time period, owners can engineer all kinds of useful friendships between animals of the same or different species. As many owners already know, cats don't just bond to their moms or to their human owners.

Having the kittens bonding to human scent and human handling is very important, especially during weeks 3 through 7. You've got this window for socialization. Up until 7 weeks is prime time. The secondary period is until 12 weeks and the tertiary period is until 6 months.
Some cats crab walk in play, to practice motor skills, to get our attention, when experiencing the zoomies. Cats also crab walk when threatened or angry because turning their body sideways makes them look bigger to any potential threat.

Each bonded pair develops its own dynamic: one might be more dominant, or they might both be equal. As they mature, your senior bonded pair will settle into companionship. There will be less manic playing, and more side-by-side snoozing.
With a bonded pair, your cats each get a built-in playmate. Instead of wondering whether your pets will get along, you already know that you have a bonded pair of best friends. Having a built-in playmate is beneficial for two reasons: socialization and exercise.

Tuxedo Cats don’t tend to display personality differences based on gender. Each individual will express their own personality which is usually genetic or totally random.
Tuxedo cat owners have also been known to describe their cats as more intelligent than cats with any other coat pattern. Some say tuxies are up to 200% smarter than other cats!

Kittens under four weeks old can't regulate their own temperature and need an external heat source, such as their mother.

Tortoiseshell cats aren’t a specific breed but are cats with a distinctive coat pattern, similar to tortoiseshell material. The pattern combines two colors — and never white — and is typically described as ginger-red and black. The “red” patches can sometimes be cream, orange, yellow, or gold, and the “black” can sometimes be gray, chocolate, or tabby. Torties with the tabby pattern are often called “torbies.”
Having the kittens bonding to human scent and human handling is very important, especially during weeks 3 through 7. You've got this window for socialization. Up until 7 weeks is prime time. The secondary period is until 12 weeks and the tertiary period is until 6 months.

Kittens rough house together and entertain each other. They learn from each other and form family bonds. By playing together, they learn bite inhibition and to retract their claws (otherwise they play with people the same way they play with their siblings–OUCH!)
A bicolor cat or tuxedo cat is a cat with white fur combined with fur of some other color, for example black or tabby.

Play provides young cats with opportunities to practice skills they would normally need for survival. Kittens like to explore new areas and investigate anything that moves, and may bat at, pounce on and bite objects that resemble prey. Kittens learn how to inhibit their bite from their littermates and their mother.

The reason siblings are sometimes encouraged to be adopted together is because that way owners can be fairly confident that the kittens know and trust each other from day one and can skip the (sometimes long and difficult) process of introducing cats to one another or a cat to a kitten.
Kittens in a household decide to stay together. They rely heavily on each other for resource sharing. They sleep and play together.

Bonded pairs reflect the natural instinct of felines to form a pack. Cats may be known as aloof, but they are basically social creatures.

A newborn kitten sleeps around 22 hours per day because that's when their growth hormone is produced.
When adopting kittens, it's better to have two or more from the same litter rather than one. Kittens have a LOT of energy and a friend, especially a littermate, is great for them, both mentally and physically.

Tuxedo cats aren’t an official breed but rather a very distinct color and pattern of cats that can occur across many different breeds.
Multiple kittens in a home tend to focus on each other for play and companionship. This can give an older, resident cat a break from the play demands of a single kitten. Multiple kittens in a home commonly form stronger attachments to each other than they do with the people in the home.

Studies reveal cats don’t just purr when they are happy; felines do this when they are in pain too. The question of why has been a big issue among researchers. Some findings indicate that a cat’s purr may have healing abilities—and this applies to humans, too.
If you have an injury and need to mend your bones, petting a cat and the sound of its purring might help you heal faster. If you pay enough attention to your feline friends, you might have noticed that after having a tough day, cats tend to purr a lot. This was also seen as a cat’s way to heal itself.

How To Tell If Your Cat Wants Another Cat For Companionship

From Adopter: Our kittens, Raya and Maru are almost a year old now and we allow them limited time outside. They love hunting mice and shrews. I did not know shrews were bigger than mice. They make our lives so much better. Getting both of them was the right decision. They keep each other entertained, they sleep together, eat together, groom each other and snuggle up with us at night. The dogs now pretty much ignore them. Please thank the lady that fostered them. They take care of each other with their grooming activities and don't fight over food. We love them.
Kitten Policy Changes 2/27/22
Quailwings Rescue Adoption Policy Change For Kittens
Quailwings Rescue Adoption Policy Change For Kittens
We are changing our policy about adopting kittens. There are several reasons for the changes based on research and studying kittens and cats over 50 years.
*Raising two kittens means that your cats will pick up on feline behavior cues. Both kittens will learn how to behave socially and will be more well-adjusted!
*When you bring home two kittens, they will have a built-in playmate. Both kittens can burn off extra energy by chasing, pouncing and play hunting each other throughout the house. Giving them an outlet for their kitten crazies means they’ll have less energy to engage in destructive behaviors like scratching the couch! Nail caps, double stick tape, cat trees, scratching post help them to leave your furniture and drapes alone.
*Cats learn how to “speak” cat by interacting with other cats, so raising your kittens together ensures they will learn how hard to play, how to share territory, how to communicate their needs and many other crucial social skills. In the future if you add more cats to your household, your kittens will understand how to interact with them and the new addition will have an easier transition into the family.
*If you work long hours, a single kitten can become lonely being the only one in the house. Despite the jokes that cats prefer their own company, kittens are actually very social creatures! The territorial nature of cats is a main factor in them seeking solitude, and it generally doesn’t kick in until adulthood. For this reason, kittens crave the attention and fun of a playmate. Having two cats at home means you don’t have to feel guilty leaving for work or vacation since you know they will keep each other company.
*Kittens learn by copying the behaviors of others, so having two kittens means less time training them for tasks such as using the litter box. Kittens learn the basics of how to gauge distance, walk along narrow objects, balance, climb, tumble and stalk during the first year of their life.
*Having another kitten to copy and learn from can help your cat understand his limits during playtime and keep him safer into his adult years. In addition, if one of your kittens has a bigger personality while the other is quiet and nervous, the more adventurous kitten may help teach your shy cat to be more confident and playful!
*Kittens normally begin to groom themselves between 4 and 5 weeks old. Often kittens will groom each other as a sign of protection and affection. It’s difficult for cats to reach their own faces and ears, so they may rely on the other cats in their home to keep these areas tidy.
*They watch each other to learn how to play together, how to use the litter box, and how to interact with humans.
*Having two cats reduces the chance that your cats will be overweight. Even as they get older, cats will often start up games with each other resulting in zooming around the house, pouncing from underneath furniture or jumping up on cat trees. Living an active lifestyle as they age and not becoming overweight will increase their lifespan and keep them healthier overall.
*While introducing a new kitten into the family can help to get your senior pet moving, one kitten’s endless drive to play can harass an older cat who wants to spend his days snoozing and not babysitting.
*The great thing about two kittens is that two hardly costs more than just one! Kittens can share litter boxes, cat trees, food and water bowls, beds and toys!
*It’s suggested that you choose two male cats or a male and female combination, if bringing home two kittens who are not already bonded as they tend to get along better than two females.
*Despite their independent natures, cats are social creatures that need companionship to thrive. Left alone, a cat can develop behavioral problems, and in some cases, even show signs of depression. Cats in bonded pairs, on the other hand, are more likely to be better adjusted.
*Bonus reason: You'll save two lives instead of one...
*Bonded Pair Adoption - It's easier to adopt a bonded pair than it is to introduce a new cat later. Adopting a dynamic duo ensures that you'll have a harmonious home for years to come!
