Named after Winter from the Wings of Fire book series, this handsome boy lives up to his legendary namesake—quiet, observant, and secretly impressive. While he may be shy at first and still unsure about being held, Winter is slowly building confidence and learning that people can be pretty great (especially when treats are involved). His estimated birthday is 11.1.25.
Winter is gentle and reserved, preferring to take things at his own pace as he warms up to new surroundings. Once he feels safe, you’ll start to see glimpses of his playful side—and wow, can he move. If Winter had a professional career, he’d absolutely be an Olympic athlete: fast, agile, and graceful, with kitten energy that shines during playtime.
Winter would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands shy kittens and is willing to let him come out of his shell on his timeline. With love, consistency, and a little cheering from the sidelines, Winter has all the potential to become a confident companion.
If you’re looking for a quiet soul with championship-level zoomies and a legendary name, Winter might be the perfect fit for your home.
We’d love for Winter to be adopted with another cat or kitten, or into a home with another playful kitty, to help him to continue coming out of his shell.
