Hi! I'm Miller! I was found outside as a feral kitten with my siblings, and brought into a foster home. (The outside is no place for young kittens!) And then we began our journey to adoptable. It takes a lot of work to make a feral kitten friendly!
Now that we are in the shelter, we have had our share of new kitten friends come and go. I am still a bit timid, but I am learning as I go. I enjoy playtime, and I am a curious kitty. There was a toy that sped around the kitten room, bumping into things and changing direction, then zooming across the room again. I liked that toy, and I would follow it around!
What I may not have in a perky bedside manner I can make up with other cool things. Like if you have a jar of pickles you need to open, I have the paws to help. Oh, did I not mention that? I am a 4-paw polydactyl ... which means I have extra toes on ALL my paws. My front paws look like mittens—with thumbs! So I look like I could open jars and stuff. (I mean, if I was allowed in the pantry. I *am* still a cat.)
Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.
