Gamma (male tabby with stripes), Rho (male tabby with swirls) and Zeta (male, black and white) are three kitten littermates born approximately 12/20/2025. They either need to go home with a sibling or have another energetic pet in the home. Here's what their foster volunteers say about them:
How would you describe the cat's general personality?
Gamma: Very friendly little guy who loves pets and lots of attention. Has a BIG purr and isn't afraid to use it to earn him more pets!
Rho: Very sweet, loves attention too (just not quite as much as Gamma) and gives the most adorable gazing look of love to us. Likes to bop noses with us. Enjoys a lot of playtime.
Zeta: Also very sweet but quite goofy. Likes attention, but prefers to be next to you than on your lap. Strikes the most ridiculous poses. Loves a belly rub.
Does the cat enjoy being pet? YES, all three love to be pet. Gamma is so in love with petting he'll climb on his siblings when you're petting them to get pet himself.
If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Everywhere. All enjoy a belly rub. We've made a lot of effort to rub their paws so that they're used to having them touched.
Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Nope!
Does the cat come on your lap? Yes, all three will climb on our laps when we're sat on the floor or in a chair. Rho and Gamma will climb all over us, including our shoulders. Zeta likes to be next to us on the floor more, but will come on our laps still for attention.
Does the cat like to be held? Yes, all three, especially Rho and Gamma.
Does the cat sleep in your bed? They have not been given the opportunity to do so, as they stay in the kitten room. But I bet they'd like to do so if given half the chance!
Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, yes and more yes! Gamma in particular is quite attention loving, but all three enjoy attention.
Does the cat like to play? Yes!
What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Spring toys are a big favorite, as is romping with each other. They enjoy chasing a wand toy, particularly Rho who gets good air to his jumps. Zeta is coming along with the jumps as well.
How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make? They meow at wet food time (fed twice daily). Otherwise, Gamma and Zeta have loud purrs, Rho has a softer purr.
Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Not yet that we've noticed, but they aren't bad about scratching the furniture either. Since they’re still so little, they sometimes use their claws to jump up into the chair, but not like you would use a scratcher.
Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes, never had any accidents. A funny fact is that Rho likes to use the bathroom promptly after every meal. They are all very good at covering up in the litter box.
What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Free feeding dry food (Purina kitten) and twice-daily wet food (Fancy Feast kitten pate).
Is the cat picky about food? Not at all - they are very good eaters.
What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu!
Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? No.
Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Only unintentionally when climbing on us and because they have sharp kitten claws.
Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? No
Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No
To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? We're working with them on this. We've only had one group of visitors so far, and they were hesitant. More visitors are planned in the coming weeks. They are also a bit afraid of voices on the phone, which again we're conditioning them on.
If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? They've met one of our resident cats and that went great. They largely ignored him and played with each other.
Does the cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions?
Gamma: Loves to pounce on other kittens' tails. It's really cute!
Rho: Seems really obsessed with human faces. Wants to give nose bobs/face rubs and stares adoringly at us.
Zeta: Sometimes falls off our laps because he has no sense of his personal space and strikes the silliest of poses.
In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt?
They are a great group of sweet kittens. They've been remarkably tidy and are very loving/sweet boys. It’s been so special watching them discover toys and learn to play, and discover how much they enjoy petting!
What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them?
They came to us from outside, where they were living under someone's house in snowy conditions. We've focused on socializing them - the tabbies set the pace, and Zeta trotted right along. Their two other litter mates are not being posted for adoption yet as they need more socialization work, although they are making strides as well. Showing them love, affection and giving churu really helped to bring them out of their shells.
