Gordo is very kind and lovable. He likes belly rubs and curling up next to you on the bed or couch. He loves to be at the very top of his cat tree by the window for sun bathing. Very talkative and his meows still sound like a kitten. He just turned 3 years old. He does well with kids, other cats, and small dogs only. He is shy at first so it’ll take him some time to warm up to people and other pets.

Story
Void and his sister Null came to us after they were found outside in La Mesa together, abandoned. When storms started rolling in and they had nowhere to go, luckily a former Tiny Kitten Coven adopter (who adopted a black kitten that looks JUST like them!) took them in so they had somewhere safe to stay. Now they've been fixed, vetted, and will never have to fend for themselves again! Void is very sweet and snuggly boy, who likes to be held and is always ready for cuddles! He purrs sooo loud, too. He is good with other cats, with kids, and would be good with dogs with a proper introduction. Null and Void are bonded and we are asking that they go home together. We offer a pair discount off the total adoption fee for kittens adopted together.
