2. Able

6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 91 mi from Richmond

If waking up to snuggles and sweet, scratchy kitten kisses sounds like your idea of a perfect morning, then Able may be your guy!

Able has come a long way in his short life. He was born outside, but you’d never know it now — he has completely embraced the safe, cozy indoor life and has no intention of looking back! He absolutely loves playing with his foster brothers and sister, so his new home
must have another young, playful kitty
to keep him company.

Read more about Able

Able is a bundle of fun with plenty of energy to burn. Bring out the teaser toy or laser pointer and watch him go! He’s quite the little athlete and takes his playtime very seriously. Of course, all that hard work requires compensation… preferably in the form of treats.

When playtime is over, Able is happy to switch gears and show off his softer side. He is loving, affectionate, and always ready for some quality cuddle time with his people. He would do well in a home with cat-friendly dogs and older children who understand how to be gentle with a kitten.

With his playful personality, affectionate nature, and impressive snuggle skills, Able is ready to leave his foster home behind and become someone’s very special companion. Could you be his forever family?

Read more about Garfield

What My Foster Says About Me: Garfield and his siblings are adorable, social, cuddly kittens who were eager to explore and play right when I brought them home. Garfield is the first to want to settle down next to me, and has the most adorable meow when he's seeking attention. Once he finally tires out, he is cuddly, easily handled, and a total purr machine. He and his siblings are extremely social with humans - they are constantly chasing my feet, wanting to climb up to get attention, and walking all over my keyboard. They're also great with my friendly resident cat and calm 70-pound dog.

I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Garfield, 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.

What My Foster Says About Me: Grub is an adorable, social, cuddly kitten. She needed zero warm-up time and was eager to explore and play. Once she and her brothers finally tire out, they're cuddly, easily handled, and are total purr machines. They are extremely social with humans - they are constantly chasing my feet, wanting to climb up to get attention, and walking all over my keyboard. They're also great with my friendly resident cat and calm 70-pound dog. Grub is always the first one to run at full speed towards me when I enter the foster room. She also has no fear - she will climb into anything she can and was the first to venture outside of the foster room.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
