My story

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

Since mom was of royal Siamese blood, dad wasn't sure if he had what it takes to catch her eye. But when he came courting in his fancy tuxedo, mom fell head over heels in love. My brother, Snowy, and I inherited our beautiful white coats from our mom and our tails from dad. My brother and I make the perfect pair. He likes a nice warm lap to sit in while I prefer to amuse folks with all my clownlike antics. Looking for the perfect pair? Here we are. Aphrodite came to ADOPT with her brother Snowy in November of 2012. She was born around August of 2012.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE ADOPTING A KITTEN:

1. The average life span of a cat is sixteen to twenty years. Will your life style continue to accommodate a cat for the next twenty years?

2. While your house may be child proof, is it kitten proof? Clothes washers, dryers, refrigerators and toilets can be hazardous or deadly to kittens.

3. It is natural for a cat to gravitate to high places such as counter-tops, tables, etc.. The best way to alleviate such problems is to provide your kitten with a cat tree.

4. Cats have a natural need to scratch. Providing a good scratching post or cat tree along with regular nail trims is a great way to protect your furniture.

5. Folks who have not been exposed to cats may be allergic. Ask a counselor about the pillow test to check for allergies.

6. Active children may not mix well with small kittens. You may want to consider an older kitten or adult cat.

7. Young kittens (under five months of age) are very active and would benefit from the company of another kitten or young cat to keep them busy and develop normal cat social skills. We typically require that kittens be adopted in pairs.
