My story

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

🐾 Meet Baby Fishy! 🐾

Baby Fishy is an 18-week-old male tabby & white kitten who is litterbox trained and ready for his next chapter. 🤍🐱 He’s received all age-appropriate vaccines, is Felv/FIV negative, flea & tick treated, microchipped, and neutered—all set for adoption!

Baby Fishy is a 4.5-month-old kitten who is still getting used to shelter life and all the new sights, sounds, and people that come with it. Right now, he’s on the shy side with staff and prefers to stay calm and observant—but we just know there’s a playful little guy waiting to shine once he feels safe and settled. ✨

At the moment, Baby Fishy is nervous around adults and may tolerate or quietly avoid interaction until he feels more comfortable. He hasn’t been around children that we’re aware of, so we recommend bringing kids along to meet him and see if it’s a good fit. With other cats, Baby Fishy is friendly and tolerant, and we think he would adjust best in a home that already has a cat—or by being adopted with a feline friend. 🐈🐈‍⬛

We’re unsure how he feels about dogs at this time. His energy level is currently low, but that’s very likely due to the stress of a brand-new environment. In a quieter, loving home, we expect his confidence—and his playful side—to grow. 💕

Baby Fishy is litter box trained and, for now, we’re still getting to know him. He went from living outdoors with his siblings to suddenly being inside a busy shelter full of cats and unfamiliar people, which is a big adjustment for a little guy. With time, patience, and a calm environment, he may slowly come out of his shell—or he may surprise everyone by blossoming quickly once he feels safe.

If you have a gentle heart, a little patience, and maybe a friendly cat waiting at home, Baby Fishy could be the perfect addition to your family. 🏡🐾

Come meet Baby Fishy and see if he’s the perfect fit for your home! 🐾💕

Not all animals need an application but some may need one due to having special needs or not being spayed or neutered yet.

Additional adoption info

Once an animal is chosen, you will pay the adoption fee via cash or card. The card does charge a fee to use.
