8. Asha
MEET ASHA AGAIN
This gray domestic shorthair kitten is a little bundle of curiosity waiting to steal your heart! Independent and playful, Asha loves nothing more than chasing her favorite toys. Her fur is so soft! No longer shy with her humans or fellow cats now that’s she’s settled in. Has an insta-purr setting when you pick her up. Loves to nap in the sunshine in her favorite spot or on a lap. Sleeps through the night quietly curled up beside her human. Chases toys intensely but she’s not much of a jumper yet. Her soft meows as she races toward her food at mealtimes are the sweetest thing.
She's got a fun hide-and-seek streak (perfect for cozy nooks, boxes, and blanket forts! ), and she's curious around other cats, and takes things slowly and carefully.

Adopting a cat with children in Billings
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
