Buckwheat

Buckwheat and his three siblings were rescued near a grain terminal, which is how he ended up with his hearty name. When he first came in, his eyes were messy and uncomfortable, and he was completely unsure about humans - everything felt too big and too loud.He's still a reserved boy, but he's beginning to understand that kindness exists. When someone pets him softly, he'll shut his eyes like he's thinking, "Alright… maybe this isn't terrible." He's not the type to push into your hand or ask for attention yet - he's a thoughtful, cautious kitten taking things one small step at a time.Buckwheat will shine in a calm, patient home that appreciates shy cats and notices the little moments of progress. With steady routines, gentle handling, and plenty of love, this sweet boy has every chance to grow into a wonderful companion.Meet Our Fabulous Foster-to-Adopt Kittens!Our young kittens are ready to go home now through our foster‑to‑adopt program. You take them home today, and the adoption is finalized after their spay/neuter surgery.Our rescue requires kittens to be adopted in pairs or into a home that already has a young, friendly cat. Kittens raised alone often struggle with social and behavioral development, while growing up with another cat helps them learn boundaries, burn energy, and become well‑adjusted adults.The adoption fee is $75 for a single cat/kitten and $125 for a pair.If you're ready to bring home a pair of playful kittens-or add one to your friendly resident cat-we'd love to help you find the right match.Apply today at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to start your foster‑to‑adopt journey!If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.
