Story
Hi, my name is Ernie and I’m a very cute and soft approximately 10 month old kitten. My foster parents rescued me from the streets about 5-6 weeks ago. They love me but their older female cat isn’t adjusting well to me and sometimes I’m too rough with her when I get excited playing which isn’t good especially since their home is very small. My foster parents have me up to dates on my shots, have been neutered and I have a chip. They are training me to get my nails clipped regularly at home. In fact, I have a clean bill of health all around. I’m seeking a home where I can be myself and be loved without disrupting another kitty. My foster parents even bought me a very fancy cat tree with 4 beds and a cabinet at the base for my litter box that they want me to take to my new home. It is gray/ white/ cream in color with multiple scratching posts. I am extremely clean with myself, very good at using the litter box and I even clean the floor well after I eat if I make a mess.
