Flint & Amber

Hi there… I'm Flint.Sometimes, when the house is quiet and the stars peek through the window, I like to sit by the glass and make a wish. I'm not quite sure how wishing works, but I figure if I wish hard enough, maybe my forever family will hear me.Not too long ago, I was all alone at the shelter - a little tabby boy with big eyes, a shy heart, and feelings too big for such a loud place. New situations still make me nervous, but back then, everything felt overwhelming. Then something wonderful happened: they put me in a kennel with two other kittens, Jasper and Amber. Suddenly, I wasn't alone anymore. Amber and I leaned into each other, huddled close, shared our purrs, and felt brave together. She makes me feel safe, and I think I do the same for her. We've been best friends ever since.Now I'm in a foster home, and every day feels a little brighter. I'm still shy at first, but once I feel safe? Oh boy - that's when you meet the real me. I'm a chunky, cuddly young man who wants all the attention. I love laps, I love being close, and I'm happiest when I'm soaking up pets like I've been waiting my whole life for them (because… I kind of have).My foster says I'm a "cutie patootie," which I'm pretty sure means my soft fur, round little body, and loud purrs are doing exactly what they're supposed to do.I'm about six to seven months old, full of sweetness, gentle affection, and quiet hope. Amber and I would really love our forever home together - we lean on one another, comfort each other, and make the perfect pair. With patience, love, and a little time, I promise we'll fill your home with warmth, cuddles, and a whole lot of heart.So tonight, when I look up at that same little star, I'll keep wishing -wishing that somewhere out there, someone is wishing for us too.Love,Flint & Amber
