MEET Lucille!Lucille is an under socialized shy kitten and will require some special care immediately upon going home.You will need to provide your kitten with: - Multiple short periods of the presence of a person that can provide gentle handling and playing with interactive toys. Although you don't have to be home all day, these kittens benefit from regular focused attention and a consistent home routine. - A limited, confined safe place for the first few weeks such as a small and quiet room, is a good way to introduce the kitten to your home. In some cases a dog crate with all of its food, litter, toys and water is a great space to start with. This will help your kitten adjust to her new home gradually; larger spaces are too overwhelming. When the kitten is comfortable with the small space and awaits you without hiding, you can gradually increase her living space. - Under socialized kittens can benefit greatly from a very confident outgoing resident cat. Lucille is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on this or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.
