MEET TASHA!*Beautiful tortie kitten!*Would love a cat friend!Tasha is one of our beloved `tiny tigers`, who has made great strides since she's been here. She's been learning to live the indoor life in the manager's office with some other cat friends. Tasha is learning to trust people and accept pets. She recently discovered how much fun playing is and will come running for a feather wand toy! Tasha is food motivated, so approaching with a yummy snack is one way to her heart. If you have the patience and interest in adopting a kitten with whom you can bond as she learns that you are her new best friend, ask to spend some time with Tasha!WHAT TO EXPECT*Hiding: for the best transition, we highly recommend confining Tasha to a crate in an active part of the home where she can learn about their new surroundings but still feel secure in the crate, without your having to worry about âlosing themâ in your home. If not a crate, then definitely a small space such as a guest room or extra bathroom. [We would be happy to send you home with a loaner crate, at no charge]*Transition: this process can be scary, so Tasha will need time and patience as she gets acclimated to her new surroundings. She has been here for a while and now has to adjust to all of the new patterns, sounds and smells of your home.*Hands-on work from you: As noted, Tasha loves food and using stinky wet food and churu treats is a great way for you to bond with your new kitten. Petting may be scary at first, so pairing food with petting can help Tasha 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!Tasha is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Tasha or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170.
