<p>Dante, is a very sweet, fluffy purr-boy, who loves attention, but he's still my shyest of the trio and doesn't ask for pets yet like his sisters. He plays with his 2 sisters, with ~low to sometimes medium energy, maybe a little more as he grows. Use the email below to reach out to his foster directly for more information or to set up a meet/greet.</p><p> </p><p>- Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p>- Pictures & Info: <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fadaywithfosters&data=05%7C01%7CAnimal.Foster%40austintexas.gov%7Cfebe21cf3fee466ca2d008daa1738d5f%7C5c5e19f6a6ab4b45b1d0be4608a9a67f%7C0%7C0%7C637999814936462696%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Ofs4QLBsSZC3rOwxtBxEn842Rte6kJ2Vw97XR8TzSMw%3D&reserved=0">https://www.instagram.com/adaywithfosters</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Dante is social at a distance as he's re-learning to be a playful kitten. He loves attention but it takes him a little bit to come forward, after his sister comes up for attention and comes forward fast and more every day. He's a playful kitten throughout the day, first is play with his two sisters and I pet him often as I walk by. Once he's got a pet or two in him, he purrs like boat… and sometimes, when walking up to him on the cat tree, I can get him to purr by just talking to him… then he's totally on board for pets and big purr. </p><p> </p><p>He and his two sisters were strays and pretty darn scared at the world when I took them on… and he's becoming a kitten again. During the day, he plays- zoom, wrestles and chases all the toys with his sister interchangeably… whoever is closest. He loves all toys- string, ping-pong balls, pieces of cardboard, springs and flat crinkle toys… or he often snoozes inside the cat tube as a nice cubby. He's learning and will come close when he hears a rattle mouse as I used them to get a head count or just play… and he'll chase it when thrown. He's learning it's ~OK to be picked up and it's still a work on progress… as he'll let me carry him around a little longer each day… belly rubs too. After some time, a few pets, he'll eventually stay on his back while we play belly tickle and he makes big air biscuits. He's very gentle when you play and hand wrestle. He's a nosey kitten and can't always tell who's climbing higher on shelves, him or his sisters. After playing and runs out of gas, he'll nap most often on the cat tree in the sun, by the bird feeder, or lately on a table by the bed and his sisters.</p><p> </p><p>So far, he doesn't talk much at all and has a very soft voice when it's meal time. He's learning to be confident and so his voice might get bigger as he grows and opens up in a loving, patient home. He climbs a tall sisal cat tree very well through the day. He'll make small air biscuits when you talk to him, often purring. At night, he's still all play chasing toys and will eventually cuddle up on a little table by the bed with a little cat cubby shelf on it with his sisters, while I read. Once they get on the bed he stays there and so far hasn't gotten onto the bed. I think he would do OK as a solo kitten for someone who works from home to give him plenty of love, in a home he can trust, continue to open up and grow into. He would do very well with either of her sisters- Celo 30951 or Layla 30952 for someone who wants a sibling pair. I also think he would also do well with a family who has a cat or kitten who wants a playmate.</p><p> </p><p>He is perfect with the litter box and it's hard to tell if he covers or not with three kittens. He's pretty good with getting his nails trimmed when he's sleepy and can easily get the front ones done… so we trim frequently to make it routine. He's only met my friends and will come into the room just to see what's happening and sniff around the edges. So, he will likely be a little shy around new folks… and hoping he warms up quickly with toys. I think he would do fine with children, once he gets used to their energy. Dante is fine w/ my older cat and sometimes wants to cuddle with her and still working up the courage to try. I have no idea if he's met a dog, but think she would do OK with a one once he gets used to them, after slow introductions.</p>
