My personality

My story

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

Meet Shade, a sweet handsome black kitten who’ll quickly warm up to you and show off his playful side. Every day, Shade loves to practice his big cat deftness—head low, secretly watching—then suddenly dashes out to run circles around your feet. After playtime, he’ll quietly lie on the bed, looking to relax, hopefully with you! One of the most heartwarming things about Shade is the little sounds he makes when he eats—he enjoys his food so much that he munches loudly and happily. And when another kitten is nearby, he can’t help but rush over to try and play. Shade loves rubbing against your legs for affection, especially when he knows mealtime is near! He always comes running when food is served, but after a few bites, he often gets too excited and takes a break to chase his favorite toys. Shade enjoys wand toys, soft balls, and anything he can pounce on. One of his funniest habits is pretending to be shy for just a moment—then sprinting right back as if nothing happened. His antics never fail to make his foster laugh. Priority adoption will be given to those who adopt a pair from us. Second priority goes to adopters who already have a kitty at home.

 

Please see our website at https://ohlonehumanesociety.org/fostering-and-adoption/ and click on the ADOPTION APPLICATION button to submit your application, and let us know if you are looking for a particular kitten. We will let you know as soon as our Kitten Foster Program Manager reviews the applications received. All of our kittens must be spayed or neutered in our care before adoption can be finalized. Kittens require a $150 minimum adoption fee to help us fund our program. We are looking forward to your application submission.
