MEET Cadbury!I am looking for:-A quiet home with no young children-A home with another cat is strongly recommendedCadbury is working on her relationship with people. This kitten was born outside to a feral cat colony, so she is accustomed to spending time with other kitties as opposed to human friends. Her transition to the shelter hasn't been the easiest so right now she is quite fearful. This kitten is looking for a quiet household with owners dedicated to helping her come out of her shell. If you have lots of patience to give a sweet, shy, kitty come in to our Boston shelter to meet her !WHAT TO EXPECT*Hiding: while she is acclimating to her new home, we highly reccomend confinement to a cage for a short period of time. This way she can learn about her new surroundings but still feel secure in the crate. This will also eliminate the worry of âlosing themâ in your home â kittens will find anywhere to hide! Don't have a crate? No worries - we can lend you one until you no longer need it.*Transition: moving to a new environment can be scary, and potential backslide in behavior is to be expected. If they purred here at the shelter, they will purr again in your home but it may take some time. Be patient while they learn the new patterns, sounds, and smells of your home.*Hands-On Work at Home: When get your kitten home, it is important to work with them. Find wet food that your kitty loves and pet them while they are eating. If petting is too scary, feed them by hand first, so they quickly learn that hands are not a scary thing. Pairing yummy food with handling is the quickest way to teach an under-socialized kitten that petting is a good thing and it can really get that purr engine running!Cadbury is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed, microchipped and been seen by our vet team.For more information on Cadbury or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170.
