Meet Plato
The Fluffiest Philosopher With Very Strong Opinions
Plato has always known exactly who he is. It just took the rest of us a minute to earn his trust.
Born in a homeless camp to their resilient mom Era, Plato and his siblings survived a devastating fire that destroyed everything around them. Rescued at just 4 weeks old, still a tiny fluffball with blue eyes and barely coordinated legs, even as a tiny baby, Plato had opinions. He gave us the hardest time during rescue — outsmarting traps, dodging hands, and insisting he was a free spirit who didn’t need anyone.
We tried everything. Then Plato discovered the truth: Humans bring treats, wand toys, chin rubs, and cuddles. Game over.
Plato may be skeptical about change, but the moment a wand toy appears, it’s like magic. He transforms into an elite toy hunter — leaping, twisting, and showing everyone how it’s done. He’s shockingly athletic and impressively precise, basically a ninja disguised as a cloud.
His favorite things include:
• Wand toys (his true weakness)
• Fluffy balls
• Pipe cleaners
• Kitty tunnels
• Treats (instant friendship contract)
Offer him a treat and congratulations — you are now best friends forever.
Plato is the fluffiest fluff in the litter — unbelievably soft and made for hugging. Once he trusts you, he loves affection. He purrs when hugged, melts into chin rubs, and will gently tap your shoulder when he wants attention — often while presenting his wand toy like a formal request.
He’s affectionate in a thoughtful, intentional way — never pushy, always meaningful. Plato’s journey from cautious survivor to affectionate companion is what makes him so special. He didn’t give his heart easily — but once he did, he gave it fully.
Because of Plato is a kitten he must be adopted together with one of his siblings (especially his beloved brother Aristotle, who he adores), or into a home with another young and/or playful cat. Here is some information about why we have this policy:
Two kittens are better than one
For a pair of kittens we apply a $25 discount from each adoption fee.
