Story
Meet Litten 🐾🔥💖Litten is an adorable little guy who's still figuring out this whole "people" thing 😸💕 This playful kitten has a gentle spirit and a sweet purr, but he's still learning to trust and build confidence in a busy shelter environment. Right now, he's more of a "take it slow" kind of cat, and that's perfectly okay. This handsome boy enjoys playtime, especially when it involves his littermates 🐱✨ Wrestling, chasing, and kitten antics are some of his favorite ways to spend the day. Litten has lots of energy and curiosity, and when he's feeling comfortable, you'll see his playful personality shine through 🌟While he's not quite ready to be scooped up and cuddled all the time, he does enjoy affection on his own terms and rewards patience with sweet purrs 💛 He would likely do best with someone who understands that trust takes time and who will let him settle in at his own pace.One thing that helps Litten feel secure is the company of other kittens 🐾💕 Having a friendly feline companion may help him continue building confidence as he grows.If you're looking for a young cat whose personality is still unfolding, Litten is ready to start the next chapter of his journey with a patient and loving family 🏡😻🔥✨Litten's adoption fee is $90.Litten has received age-appropriate vaccines, flea & tick treated, given dewormer and will be microchipped and neutered before adoption. **Can only leave on a foster-to-adopt until surgery appointment.Our cat adoption process is open and straightforward!
