Story
Laverne is an adorable, energetic and sweet kitten who came to Fancy Cats within days of her October birth from a crowded shelter.  Her mom is Tolkein and her siblings are Shirley, Lenny and Squiggy.   Laverne is a quiet young lady – when she meows, only a tiny squeak comes out.  Laverne is very friendly and the “bravest” of her siblings.  She is the first kitten to climb new heights, tackle stairs and run around the foster’s house. Laverne is too busy being a typical kitten to be carried around but loves to climb into a nearby lap when she needs to take a rest from chasing her siblings.  Laverne is very interested in toys and shiny objects.  She’s athletic and loves to climb the cat tree.   Laverne is healthy, uses her litter box faithfully and is learning to use her scratching post…..however, she is still a baby and will need oversight and reinforcement to keep these good house manners.  Laverne has met her foster home’s resident dog and cat – she was very curious and would likely do fine in a home with other pets as long as an appropriate introduction protocol is followed.  Laverne loves food and is always ready for mealtime.  Laverne has a fluffy black and white coat – it’s too early to tell how long her hair will be but it’s likely that she’ll have medium or long hair so her new family should be prepared to brush her regularly to keep her looking gorgeous.       Please note it is Fancy Cats' policy that kittens have an age-appropriate playmate in the home. We also do not adopt kittens to families with children under six years old without seeing appropriate history/experience with cats.   Adoption fee: $250, includes 1 st  FVRCP, deworming, deflea, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
