My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Enchanting, Independent, Silly

Ghastly will haunt your heart with his supernatural charm. With his inky fur and bright eyes, Ghastly has a hint of mystery in his look.

Though he’s got serious sweetheart energy, Ghastly marches to the beat of his own tiny paws. He’s a chill little guy who can keep himself entertained playing on his own, but he lives for your affection when you're around. He won’t demand breakfast with meows; instead, he’ll silently stare into your soul until you get the message. Spooky? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

At night, he sleeps soundly, letting you get your rest without interruption. But during the day he’s into cuddles, slow blinks, and curling up close for a nap

Ghastly loves the other kittens in his foster home, snuggling and wrestling. They give each other comfort and confidence. Ghastly would love to be adopted into a home with another cat.

Now dogs are not his thing. Ghastly’s made it clear that dogs are scary, and he’d like a household where he can feel safe and unbothered.

He’s your classic kitten in most ways — eating, snoozing, and zooming through his days. But Ghastly does have a medical note. He’s had a few seizures in the past, which are currently well-managed with medication given in his food every 8 hours (easy peasy). He'll require these meds for life, but he does SO well he just sits there and takes it like the sweetest little fella. Our APA! clinic is working to uncover the root cause, and there’s a solid chance he’ll go on to live a totally normal, healthy, seizure-free life. His foster and our medical team are happy to answer any questions — Ghastly’s got a whole support squad behind him.

A mellow, consistent home would be ideal — maybe someone who works from home or a retired human ready for kitten friend. Whoever adopts him will get a ridiculously cute, one-of-a-kind friend who brings sweet companionship and the occasional slow, spooky stare.

To meet this magical little guy (and his bestie), reach out to APA! today. Let's get this sweet soul the loving forever home he deserves!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
