Hello, I’m Arlo. My mom was a “teen mom”, she was only about 6 months old when she became pregnant with us. We were captures by Henrico Animal Control, and it was really scary. Not long after we went to a foster home, which was pretty scary too, but not as much. I had my mom, Violet and sister, Isabella to protect me.
You may have noticed, I’m a bit of a shy guy. I don’t really care for surprises or change. When I’m feeling insecure, my sister Isabella (Izzy) reminds me that everything is ok. She takes good care of me. I like all of the other foster kittens I live with, although they’re a bit too playful at times. Don’t get me wrong, I like to play like all kittens, just in a more controlled way I guess. I do love wrestling with Izzy. I’m very good at it, too!
I’m also a bit unique. First, I only purr on very special occasions. Izzy purrs all the time, but I’m not sure why. Second, I need to be neutered a bit later in life - around 6 months or so. Henrico Humane Society will take care of that, though.
I’m looking for a quiet home where my sister Izzy and I can live forever and ever!
