My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi my name is Vanderbilt AKA Vander.  I am a playful silly little boy with a tail fetish.  I like chasing the tails of my two sisters but also like chasing my own rather long tail.  I love climbing high and playing rough which often upset my overprotective mom cat.  I adore food and will steal from my siblings.  I don't like being told no to stealing treats.  I'm very sweet and love attention but playtime comes first.

Likes:  Rough housing with my siblings and climbing up high.

Dislikes:  Being told NO to stealing treats.

To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication

For additional information, email our Adoptions Team at adoptions@shelteringhands.org.  Once applications are approved the Adoptions Team will coordinate the best way for you to get your new furry family member and bring them home.
