Once she decides you are her person, she will demand all your attention… and honestly, you’ll be happy to give it to her. 💗 Personality & Vibes Dent is: Affectionate • Gentle • Cuddly • Easygoing • Quiet • Passive • Attention-Seeking She may be a little scared at first — loud noises, surprises, and strangers aren’t her favorite — but she warms up quickly and transforms into the sweetest, most loving companion. 🧸 Her Favorite Things Her sister, Tundra, is her #1 playmate. She also enjoys crinkle toys and climbing the cat tree. Sleeping spot: Her foster’s bed, every single night. Treat: Catnip — she adores it. 😻 Endearing and Adorable Quirks She walks in little circles while waiting for pets, like she’s revving up for affection. She wants to be the center of attention no matter what you’re doing — typing, folding laundry, trying to watch TV… she is there.

He’s affectionate, people-loving, and thrives on attention and interaction. 🐾 Background Zombie is one of six kittens born at Animal Control to a very young mama.
