A century-old house, proud of its creaky floors and mysterious nooks, never expected its biggest secret would be revealed by two very pregnant stray momma cats waddling through its door one stormy night. Overnight, this historic home transformed from a haven for lost socks and drafty windows into the loudest, fluffiest kitten nursery in town—just like that, the legend of Mad Catter House was born!
This page shares the tales of those tiny kittens now living under its antique roof, each one busy plotting adorable chaos while dreaming of their forever families. Here, squeaks and purrs are always welcome—and every baby is waiting to make a place in someone’s heart.
All kitten adoptions from Mad Catter House are arranged through GRASP, whose incredible team works tirelessly to help every furry friend find a safe and loving home. Huge thanks to GRASP for their ongoing support and dedication to keeping our kittens happy, healthy, and ready for their forever families.
Hello! We are Calysto, Gabriele, and little Xena – a close-knit cat family looking
for a loving forever home.
Calysto (Xena’s mom) and Gabriele (Xena’s aunt) are bonded sisters who survived Rochester’s harsh winter weather while they were still juveniles themselves. They stayed close to one another through it all, sharing warmth, comfort, and safety. Their bond remains incredibly strong, and they are often found curled up together, playing, and caring for one another.
Along the way, they became the loving mother-and-aunt team to Xena, an energetic and opinionated baby tortie. Xena made quite an entrance into her foster home after being chased by a large raccoon. This feisty little girl raced from room to room and even scaled two flights of stairs before the humans finally caught her! Despite her dramatic arrival, Xena has settled into the catio with her mother and aunt, who have helped teach her how to play, socialize, and grow into a proper little cat.
All three girls are very sweet, though they may be timid at first in a new setting. With patience, gentleness, and time, they will show their affectionate personalities. They have been through so much together and have formed a happy little family – tending to each other, sleeping in cozy piles, and enjoying playtime together.
Our greatest wish is to find a home where all three can remain together. Calysto and Gabriele are especially bonded and should stay together if a full-family adoption is not possible. Xena would also thrive with them, surrounded by the family who has kept her safe and loved from the beginning.
Could you be the patient, caring family who gives the Rochester Winter Snap Survivors the warm, safe home they have been waiting for?
Introducing Jerome: The Snuggle ChampionHey there, I’m Jerome — your future cuddle buddy and professional hug consultant! Born second in my litter, I wasted no time jumping into life and spreading the love. My looks? Think “mini-me” of my gorgeous mom Panda, but with a twist — everyone says we’re twinsies right down to our elegant whiskers! I also share her refined taste in poultry snacks: chicken, turkey, or mystery bird, I am ALWAYS first in line. Feed me treats and my heart is yours forever.I don’t just snuggle, I pay it forward. When Mom Panda took in two orphaned kittens, I was right there: big brother, gentle babysitter, all-purr support staff for our growing crew.
My best moves:
Playing with every toy in the basket…AND mysteriously relocating them under the couch.
Scaling the tallest cat trees (I take safety very seriously — the view up there is unbeatable for bird and squirrel watch in the window hammock).
Curling up in arms, laps, or anywhere a hug is going — nobody gives more hugs-per-day than me! If you want constant affection, I’m your guy.
Ready for endless snuggles, loyal companionship, and the softest, fluffiest shoulder to cry/nap/laugh on? Adopt Jerome and unlock unlimited love, plus bonus “mom’s twin” cuteness and expert poultry treat advice.
Meet Sancha: The Gentle TigressHello there, I’m Sancha — the youngest of my litter, but don’t let that fool you! I rock the most exquisite tiger-striped calico fur in the house, plus eye makeup that’s legendary even among cats (seriously, whisker-to-whisker perfection).
I’m a quiet soul with a love for snuggling in warm blankets — expert-level coziness is my calling. Timid? Maybe a bit, but it just means I’m selective with my affections, making every cuddle feel extra special.
My favorites include:
Watching birds and squirrels from my safe blanket fort, pondering the mysteries of the outside world (I prefer not to rush decisions — diplomacy is the name of my game).
Fish treats make my heart flutter. Poultry is for amateurs; I’m after the real catch-of-the-day, please and thank you.
Bouncing through tunnels and pouncing on crinkly balls — stealth and style rolled into one fabulous Calico package.
Catnap champion — napping is my passion, but so is exploring every nook of this strange and wonderful world.
Getting along with every sibling, always keeping the peace and spreading good vibes (someone has to keep the family drama at bay, right?).
Looking for a diplomatic, gorgeously-marked cat who loves fish, quiet snuggles, blanket forts, and the gentle art of friendship? Adopt Sancha: the soft-spoken tiger, master of naptime, and purveyor of purrs!
Meet Kitsune: The Foxy Free SpiritHey, world! I’m Kitsune, named after the clever Japanese fox spirit — and trust me, I live up to the legend! I was the first born of my litter and set the tone immediately: independent, sharp, and always ready with an opinion on everything from nap spots to treat flavors.
Beauty? Oh yes — I flaunt gorgeous tortoiseshell coloring so striking it makes birds pause mid-flight just to admire me. But don’t let the glam fool you: I’m brains, sass, and style rolled into one purring package.
My favorite things:
All things seafood — if you rattle the fish treat tin, better hope your fingers are fast enough.
Claiming the hammock for epic snoozes and serious bird-watching (this is my realm…trespassers beware, unless you bring snacks).
Toy connoisseurship: I test every crinkle ball and mouse, then promptly lose them in creative hiding spots.
Most importantly, making history as the very first of my siblings to conquer the cat tree — now officially renamed Mt. Kitsune!
If you need a witty, independent feline who runs on curiosity, fish snacks, and a dash of fox spirit magic, look no further. Adopt Kitsune, and get ready for clever companionship, hammock drama, and feline creativity galore!
Meet Nero: The Fashionably Late CharmerHi, I’m Nero — yes, THE Nero.
When my mom Panda sashayed into this human’s home, she chose the bedroom for her grand event…and I made sure to arrive with style, fashionably late (the best entrance always goes last, right?). I am known for being a connoisseur of all things poultry — chicken treats, turkey snacks, anything with feathers that ends up in my bowl is a win in my book! If you have something delicious and bird-adjacent, prepare for my most convincing “feed me” eyes.
My hobbies include:
Lounging regally in my hammock by the window pretending I’m on safari — bird and squirrel watch is basically a sport, and I’m going pro.
Exploring mysterious tunnels and launching stealth attacks on my brother and sisters — I’m the undisputed ninja champion of the living room.
Keeping my tuxedo coat immaculate — people say I’m the sharpest-dressed kitten in the entire neighborhood, and between us, I absolutely agree.
I excel at looking mysterious, playful, and just a little bit mischievous. Adopt me and life becomes an adventure — with extra snacks, window hammock drama, and endless fashion inspiration. You bring the snacks, I’ll bring the charm!
Aurora the boldest littlest adventurer! Hi there! My name’s Aurora, and I am officially the boldest kitten bean in the catio (despite being fun-size). You might hear my brothers squabbling over who’s ‘the real adventurer,’ but let’s be honest—who was first of my siblings to scale the cat tree and claim victory? Yours truly. They might be twice my size, but courage isn’t measured in pounds, it’s measured in pounces!
If you love all things fish (the food kind, not the swimming kind—though I’ll consider goldfish TV), we’re already besties. I’m all about snuggling deep under fluffy blankets, launching surprise attacks on my beloved Mr. Mouse toy, and enjoying prime-time birdwatching from the cat tower (feathered fiends, I’m watching you).
My expert skills include: fitting into spaces my brothers only dream of and outwitting sock monsters. If you need a bold, hilarious, snuggle enthusiast who brings twice the personality in half the package, come adopt me! I promise you’ll never need an alarm clock again, and I’ll guarantee a daily dose of laughter and love.
Derecho and Phoenix, the beautiful orange brother kittens, have a heartfelt message to share. When their mom Maria first brought them to the human house, everything felt new and uncertain. But with gentle care, warmth, delicious meals, and more cat trees and toys than they ever imagined, they learned what it truly means to feel at home.
Derecho, true to his name, is a little wild child who loves to race across the patio and leaps with joy at every moment.
Phoenix, the largest and most cautious, carries himself with the gentle bravery of the lion from The Wizard of Oz and wears a striking white crown of fur on his head.
The brothers are now happily settled in their forever home, playing alongside their beautiful tuxedo brother Gus. They want Aurora, their little sister, to know just how much they miss her. Derecho and Phoenix wish her all the best and hope she always finds what her kitten heart desires, wherever her adventures lead
