1. Zuri

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 43 mi from Modesto

Zuri is sweet and determined! She isn't afraid to tell you how she's feeling (in other words, she can be chatty if things aren't going her way!) She loves to climb, to play, to sun bathe, and to find her human while they're sleeping & curl up next to them. She is very used to kids, friendly dogs, and other cats.

5. Jeremy

Jeremy is a sweetheart, and needs no invitation to get in your lap. That is his favorite spot. He is playful, loving anything with feathers and laser beams!

This playful young boy loves spending time with other cats and would thrive in a home with a feline friend to help him feel secure. He has also been raised around small dogs and has adjusted well to sharing his home with them.

While Tabasco enjoys playing and exploring, he is naturally shy and timid with new people and situations. He doesn't like to be chased or forced into interactions, so he's looking for a calm, patient home where he can build trust at his own pace. Because of this, he would do best in a home without small children.

Adopting a kitten in Modesto

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
