If walls could talk, Kittie would never shut up. Lucky for visitors, they mostly just stand there. Kittie Doswell (April 14, 1939 – May 1, 2011) was an American R&B, soul, and jazz vocalist from Houston, Texas, United States, who later in life began a public service career.
Kittie is the lone documented ghost town in Live Oak County — for now.

What you'll find today
The on-the-ground condition of Kittie is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.
Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.
Getting there
Here's the honest truth: access to Kittie is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.
Good to know
Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
