Teddie Bear is a striking male kitten who embodies the perfect blend of independence and selective affection. As the largest of his litter, this athletic boy carries himself with quiet confidence and grace. What makes Teddie Bear special is his discerning nature - he's very much a "cat's cat" who appreciates respect for his independence. Well, he actually could be a "dog's cat" too since he gets along well with the resident dog and even tries to snuggle with her. While he may not be destined to be a lap cat, he offers something even more precious: selective snuggles with his chosen people. When Teddie Bear decides you're worthy of his affection, those cuddle moments become incredibly meaningful.
This handsome fellow is blessed with gorgeous light eyes that captivate everyone who meets him, and his sweet disposition shines through in his calm, gentle demeanor. Teddie Bear is wonderfully quiet, preferring to communicate through body language rather than excessive meowing - perfect for those who appreciate a more serene household companion.
His athletic build suggests he'll be an excellent playmate who can entertain himself while still being a loving family member. Teddie Bear would thrive with someone who understands that the best relationships are built on mutual respect and appreciation. If you're looking for a beautiful, independent companion who will reward your patience with genuine affection on his own terms, Teddie Bear is ready to find his perfect match.
Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt kittens in pairs, or into a home with a compatible playful cat. Kittens really need a feline playmate in their forever home…and then they can get to play, and snuggle while you're not home, wrestle with each other instead of with your ankles, and grow up with an always-available companion. Bored cats can become destructive cats. If you are only interested in adopting a single kitten, and you’re home most of the day, and able to spend interactive time with a kitten, we may consider adopting out a single kitten. We usually prefer that they be 4 months or older. But each application will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Many of our kitten litters may also be able to be mixed ‘n matched to make a pair if they are not particularly bonded with a sibling. Each foster home knows the kittens' personalities best, and we follow their recommendations for single placements or mix/matching.
Teddie's date of birth is 9/15/25, and his adoption fee of $195 includes: medical exam, Feleuk/FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccinations, routine dewormings, microchip and neuter.

Our adoption process: Adopt-A-Pet does not own a shelter facility. Because all of our animals are in private foster homes, they are shown by appointment, after an application has been submitted.
How to start the process: Contact us by email or phone. An adoption counselor will return your message within 1-2 days. You will be asked to fill out an application that will ask for personal information about your family, your home and about the kind of pet you're looking for. Vet references, personal references and landlord information (if applicable) is required. You can also download an application from our website. Once you return the application, an adoption counselor will call you back for a more thorough interview, again within 1-2 days. Sometimes it may take a little longer as we're all volunteers and sometimes it gets very busy. Assuming the pet you're interested in appears to be a match for you, a meeting will then be set up. For some animals, a home check may be required. If an adoption takes place, you will be asked to sign a contract and pay an adoption fee. Each animal's individual adoption fee is posted in its description on our websites.
