We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.

She loves cuddling and, especially when she’s with her sister, purrs up a storm. While being held isn’t her favorite, she truly enjoys affection, pets, and happily making biscuits for her people. Masala can be a bit vocal and expressive when she’s bored or feeling cooped up, and she has shown some mild nippiness in those moments. With more space to explore and mental stimulation, she is expected to thrive and show her best self. In the right environment, Masala has all the potential to truly blossom. She enjoys toys but is a little less active than her sister Zara, preferring a calmer play style. Masala has not yet been introduced to other resident cats and would likely do best with slow, patient introductions. Overall, she is a good, affectionate kitty who will reward a loving home with cuddles, purrs, and plenty of biscuit-making moments.  Masala is from an owner surrender with her sister Zara , and they must be adopted together.

Thanks to a compassionate property owner, she and her feline family became part of a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program and were able to live safely in an insulated garage. Her days were filled with companionship—especially with her mother, who was her closest friend. They hunted together, played chase, and curled up side by side for warmth and comfort. Recently, MissGray’s mother did not return, leaving her to face the world on her own. Despite this loss, MissGray has shown remarkable resilience. The property owner decided to bring her indoors to see how she would adjust, and she has truly surprised everyone. MissGray is doing wonderfully in her indoor foster home and is learning that this new world is a safe and loving place. She has excellent litter box manners and is gaining confidence each day. While she may be shy at first, after about a week she began greeting her foster mom at the door, rubbing against her foster dad’s legs, and meowing to say hello. Once she trusts you, she loves to show her belly and ask for pets. She has even started climbing into her foster mom’s lap and will happily relax there for a few minutes at a time. MissGray enjoys human companionship and would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She has been introduced to other cats and seems to enjoy feline company, though slow, thoughtful introductions to new cats will be important. Missgray has also taking a special liking to her roommate in her foster home, Faye, and really love having her around. Thinking about two cats? Check out Faye's profile.  MissGray is truly a sweet soul with incredibly soft fur, and a heart that’s learning to trust again. She’s ready for a loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and never alone again. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
