Meet Cupcake! This beautiful gray kitten was born May 22, 2026, and she is a sweet little girl with a big personality! Cupcake absolutely loves cuddles and enjoys spending time with her people. She is also a playful girl who especially enjoys chasing ball toys across a wooden floor—she’ll happily entertain herself as she races after her favorite rolling toys. And when she hears the unmistakable sound of a can of food being opened, she comes running! Cupcake is definitely a girl who knows when it’s mealtime and never wants to miss it.

Cupcake has a soft gray coat and an adorable face that make her just as precious on the outside as she is sweet on the inside. Because she came to us from the streets in need of urgent care for an eye issue, she can be more easily frightened than some kittens and needs a little extra patience and understanding. She is not comfortable being picked up and carried around or lifted into the air, so she does best when she can keep her paws on solid ground and approach affection on her own terms. With a loving person who respects her boundaries and gives her time to feel safe, Cupcake can relax and show you what a wonderful cuddle bug she truly is.
