2. Echo
Kitten · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed



Meet Echo, a little shy guy is slowly but surely trusting humans. He was born in a 'cat colony' where there is little human touch. After he was trapped, he spent weeks in a foster home where he bonded with other kittens his size but wary of any humans. After a while, he realized where his food and warm blankets were coming from and decided to open his heart a little at a time. At Homeward Bound, he is exposed to numerous people every day and he is coming around. He actually loves to be held closely and climb on your shoulder for a better view of what else is going on around him. He rewards you with loud purrs and every now and then, we get a hint of "biscuit making".

Adopting a cat in Bradley County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
