He lovingly lays his head on your hand, showing he's an affectionate boy who just needed a little time to come out of his shell, and enjoys head pets and chin scratches.

Safira came to Dakin when her life lifelong guardian lost her housing. As such, she was pretty much a one-person kitty. To complicate matters, she was about to have kittens! But she's come a long way and has proved that she is resilient. Safira went into foster care and was a fantastic mom. Now the kids are ready to find their own place in the world and she's ready to become a sweet companion to some lucky person. Safira's foster says she's laid back, affectionate, sweet, and always ready for a snack! This kitty has excellent communication skills and will chat up a storm when she is hungry or wants pets. She enjoys getting scratches and chin rubs but isn't a fan of being picked up. Right now her play drive is low and she'll swat a feather toy now and then, but she prefers to just laze around. Maybe after being such an attentive mom, she's just pooped out from motherhood! Her foster home was an adult household with one dog. While she had her doubts about him, she kept her cool, so perhaps she would do well with a slow introduction. She lived with another cat in her previous life and they got along well. Safira lived with children on the rowdy side for a brief spell when she was between homes. She avoided them, but was fine with the teenager who spoke softly and petted her gently. She was accustomed to being with a single person her whole life, but she may do well with older children who are gentle with her. Safira has been through a lot in a few short months, but she's ready to move on to the next leg of her journey...your home. Change is hard for this cat.

See my adoption video! https://youtu.be/aGDGAM4er00 Schweppes was trapped outside and brought to Dakin. He is slowly learning to trust people and has started to allow petting. If you listen closely, you may even hear him purr!!! A "Tiny Spirit Kitten is a feral or extremely shy kitten that has had no socialization with people in their first few months of life. These kittens will vary in terms of becoming social in their new homes; some may become very sweet and outgoing, while others may only ever trust you and no one else. They will all take patience, dedication and hard work to help them adjust into home life. Confinement to a single small room with a litter box, food, and water is a must. They do well in a home with other animals and, depending on the kitten, may even do well with children. They will go home with specific instructions that will need to be followed in order for everyone to have a successful transition.

He truly lives up to his name.  He is squirrelly and silly.  He is sometimes hyper and will play with anything.  Squirrel is also the most affectionate cat you will ever have.  He loves for you to hold him and he gives the best kisses.  Squirrel likes to cuddle up to you and lay on your neck.  He is a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to new things but trusts his human to protect him. ##2098177##
