Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Pauly. A sweet girl rescued me out of the rain when I was meowing in her kitchen window trying to get in. I was not a young kitten when I was rescued, so I am kind of shy. I really really want to trust people and not be a scaredy kitty, but it's hard for me. Right now I would need someone who understands that I am going to be an awesome cat who is going to love to cuddle, but that I need some practice.
I like to put on a bit of a show. When you say my name and are sweet to me, I will start purring and butt arching and act like I want you to come and pet me, but then I get nervous and run. My favorite spot right now is at the bottom of the cat tree (a cozy kind of hidden nook) right by the heating vent. A quiet home is a must. No kids, although I am used to noisy dogs who don't bother me. If you'd like to come and meet me just remember I will be scared, but I will spend my whole life loving you once you take me home and be patient while I adjust to my new environment and get to know you.
Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt young kittens in pairs, or into a home with a playful cat. Pauly would like a playmate in his forever home…and then they can play and snuggle while you're not home. Check out our Pick A Pair page to see if one of his foster buddies are still available since they are already great buddies. Or, at this young age, kittens from different litters can easily be mixed ‘n matched with minimal transition time. If there is already another playful cat or kitten in your house, that would work out too…he already proved he is great at making friends! With Pauly’s personality, he should be placed with an outgoing, non-shy, cat.
If you are only interested in adopting a single kitten, and you’re home most of the day, and able to spend interactive time with a kitten, we will consider adopting out a kitten older than 4 months of age. Each foster home knows the kitten’s personalities best, and we follow their recommendations for single placements. Per Pauly’s foster mom, he is independent enough to be adopted as a single kitten.
Pauly’s estimated date of birth is 7/25/15 and his adoption fee of $50 includes his vet exam, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, FIV & Feline Leukemia testing (neg), routine deworming, flea control, microchip and neuter.
