Meet Honey Comb and Fruit Pebbles! They are 3 month old female kittens! Like all our cats they are spayed and up to date on their vaccines. These gals came to us from one of our local TNR ( Trap Neuter Return) partners. It is that time of year so kittens are coming in by the numbers!
Both kittens are shy and need someone to continue to help them build confidence. I would say not great for a busy house hold and should go home families with older children (and together!) Don’t worry if these personalities don’t match what you are looking for we can try to match you with one of our other feline friends!
If anyone is interested in Honey comb and Fruity Pebbles or any other pet here at the shelter visit website and apply at cthumane.org/adopt to see all available animals! New animals are added weekly so make sure you check out our site often!
