Meet Pecan Pie! Pecan Pie came to us through our Community Cats program. Having been born outside, he has had very little human interaction. Because of this, he will need a very slow transition into your home to help him feel secure and prevent him from feeling overwhelmed. Pecan Pie might also enjoy having a cat friendly big brother or sister who can help insecure kittens like PP to build their confidence as they navigate what it means to be a companion to humans.
WHAT TO EXPECT *Hiding-for the best transition, we highly recommend confining your new kitten to crate in an active part of the home where they can learn about their new surroundings but still feel secure in the crate, without your having to worry about “losing them” in your home. We would be happy to send you home with a loaner crate, at no charge
*a potential backslide in behavior. Transition is scary. Just as this kitten was starting to feel comfortable in the shelter, they are adopted and come to your home. Be patient while they learn the new patterns, sounds and smells of your home. *Hands-on work from you-Find a wet food that your kitty loves and while they are eating, pet them all over. If petting is too scary, feed them by hand first, so they quickly learn that hands are not a scary thing. Pairing yummy food with handling is the quickest way to teach an under-socialized kitten that petting is a good thing and it can really get that purr engine running!
Pecan Pie is currently up to date on all vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and has been seen by our veterinarian.
For more information on Marble or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.
