Name: Shaw Best Guess for Breed: Domestic Short Hair Age: 4 months as of 6/6/26 Estimated DOB: 2/5/26 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 4.7 lbs as of 5/20/26 Coloring: Tuxedo Type of Hair: Short Gets Along With: Because of his young age, Shaw will likely get along with other cats, dogs and kids with an acclimation period. We’re happy to help with tips and tricks! Currently Living at: Foster home in the DC area I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Shaw, and I am a cute little kitten! I won’t ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be myself. Litter: Scully, Sullivan, Shaw, Sagan What my Foster Says About Me: Shaw is currently sporting a "cow-print" aesthetic, but don't let the farm-animal markings fool you—this kid is pure urban athlete. Shaw is a firm believer that the floor is lava. While he can be a little "people shy" at first (he’s currently in the "witness protection" phase of his socialization), his confidence is directly tied to his altitude. Shaw is what we call a "Slow-Burn Superstar." He might start the day hiding behind a curtain like a shy Victorian ghost, but once the jingle ball comes out, his inhibitions vanish. The Shy Guy: He’s still learning that human hands are for petting, not just for holding the "magic feather wand." The Play Hard Ethos: He doesn't just "play"; he conducts high-intensity interval training. You won't need a gym membership with Shaw around—just watching him do laps around your living room will get your heart rate up. The Ideal Home: Shaw is looking for a "training facility" (a.k.a. a home) with plenty of vertical space. Cat trees? Essential. Shelves? He’ll call them "viewing platforms." A patient human who doesn't mind a kitten who treats their legs like a climbing wall? Perfect. Disclaimer: Shaw is not responsible for any "accidental" gravity experiments involving items left on your mantle. It was all in the name of momentum!Ready to add some high-flying spots to your life?
