Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
He is a sweet and playful boy. About to turn one year old. He likes to be outside and is very active. He loves to take naps in the sun, or cuddled up on your lap. He plays a little rough, but he is learning to be more gentle. He needs space to play as he loves to run and jump. He was found outside very sick when he was less than a month old. He had an eye infection which will need a salve from time to time. The vet said it will reoccur possibly his whole life. It goes away quickly but does return every couple months. He has been tested and had a negative result for feline aids. He has a litter-box that looks like a large house plant, a litter genie, and a little hammock/ play set that will come with him. Including any litter or food I have as well. My daughter loves him but we are now realizing she is allergic and he triggers asthma related difficulties for her.

Story
Step aside, rookie groups—Exo is here to steal the show! This 4-month-old kitten is curious, adventurous, and totally ready to be the center of your world (and maybe your camera roll 📸). Whether he's exploring new territories like a true leader or climbing to the top of his cat tree like it's his debut stage, Exo lives life like it's a comeback performance. He's already neutered and up-to-date on all his medical care, so he's healthy, prepped, and ready for his forever fanbase. With his playful energy, curious nature, and undeniable charm, Exo is the full package—visual, main dancer, and cuddle-line all in one. Ready to give your heart to a star on the rise? Adopt Exo and let the fan chants begin! Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!! Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.
