Oh Freddy! This cutie was brought to our shelter by one of our volunteers trying to assist a local business spay/neuter it's cat population. Freddy was very scared initially and continues to be a bit guarded. That is what happens to young kittens when they have to worry about sheer survival every day. They get used to looking for and protecting themselves against the "next danger" and trying to find their next meal. We are helping Freddy adjust to being cared for, having food (always), and learning that people are good and not another danger. He was recently added to a room full of kittens which seems to be helping build his kitten confidence. They are currently teaching him how to play with toys and how to use cuteness to get extra food and treats. Freddy is getting good at this part! Freddy does enjoy affection, including being held close to your heart. He will begin to purr and you can feel his little body relax. Freddy is continuing to learn and grow into "kitten life" so he will need some patience and soft reassurance from his adopters. It is especially important that Freddy goes home with (or to a home with) a similar aged kitten (which we require for all kittens under the age of one) so he will continue to blossom into a confident and secure cat. We have plenty of partners to choose from in our kitten rooms.
*****IMPORTANT******
We require your home to include a similar aged feline companion. Young kittens will NOT

e approved for homes where they will not have another similar aged (kitten= under 1 year of age)
companion. If you do not wish to adopt two kittens, please consider selecting a cat nearer to one year of age or older. Giving your kitten a buddy will improve the lives of both cats while also making your life easier. Single kitten issues/problems are a real thing. Complete our online adoption application a www.littleorphans.org to start the process of adding an adorable kitten (or two!) to your home. Adoption fees for kittens include spay/neuter, up-to-date age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, flea preventative, and a microchip.
