🔥 Long after the fire fades, Soot is the part that stays with you.

Rescued: June 30th, 2026

Residence: The Matriarchy

Status: I've been Adopted!

Soot came to our rescue alongside Charcoal from a feral colony in Lewis County. Although he spent the first weeks of his life outdoors, he quickly showed us just how sweet and trusting a little kitten could be.

Soot is a sweet, sensitive little soul with a gentle heart. While he isn't necessarily the boldest or most clamorous kitten, he has a thoughtful, easygoing personality and a quiet charm that makes him impossible not to love. He doesn't demand attention, yet somehow, it always finds its way to him. There is something so effortlessly endearing about his gentle nature that makes him impossible to overlook. 

Soot loves to play and explore, but he's just as happy soaking up gentle pets and enjoying cozy cuddle sessions. He's also quite the little food enthusiast, always excited for mealtime and never one to turn down a tasty snack! With every new experience, he continues to grow more confident, discovering all the wonderful things life has to offer.

And now, we're overjoyed to announce that our sweet little Soot has found his furever home! 🐾💕

Now lovingly known as Moka (like the little silver coffee pot!), has been adopted by the sweetest couple, who have given him everything we could have hoped for and more.

The most beautiful part of his story isn't just that Moka managed to capture their hearts. It's that they captured his heart, too.

Sweet little Moka has fallen completely in love with his new Mom and Dad! He's settling into his new life beautifully, growing more confident and comfortable every day, and continuing to blossom into the affectionate, happy little boy we've always known him to be.

From a tiny kitten born outdoors in a feral colony to a cherished family member with a Mom and Dad of his very own, Moka's journey is everything we hope for when we rescue an animal.

From Rainy Days To Sunny Ways☀️🐈‍⬛

Moka may have started his story on a rainy day, but he's found the sunshine, and we couldn't be happier for him and his furever family. 💘
