Leaf

Description

This little guy was already about 3 months old when he came into our care.  He and his sibling had been eating on someone's porch for a few weeks after showing up one day.  They ate alongside the homeowner's cats and would race away when they saw people.  But once we trapped him, we discovered he actually liked to be pet and held and snuggled.  For weeks, he would still hiss almost every time his foster mom approached but he never ran away, tried to swat or bite and was very easy to be picked up.  But he has flipped a switch, in the past two weeks, in his foster home, and he now loves his foster mama a lot, rubbing all over her hand and arm to demand pets.  He is also getting used to his foster dad even though they have fewer interactions.  With the first touch, he lifts his head to reach for more pets and has recently started giving his mom a nose nuzzle.  He will need a patient owner and a quiet home as it will take him a little time to get adjusted.  He does like other kitties unless they are immediately up in his face and then he gives them a gentle hiss of nervousness.  Leaf should be started out in a small space (a bathroom often works well) without hiding places so he can get used to his new family without having to be dug out from beneath the couch.  He was very good for his foster mom when she trimmed his nails recently too.  And when introduced to another foster kitten, he was friendly and interested immediately.    Complete the online adoption application to be the first to schedule a meet and greet with Leaf or visit him during our weekly cat adoption event at PetSmart, Bleachery Blvd on Saturday from 12-4pm.  Get $50 off the combined adoption fee for a pair of kittens.
