I'm ready for my new family!

Hi! My Name Is Shay

I'm Available

I am sweet but tiny. I was born in foster care, and had three siblings. Sadly, one didn't make it, but my two brothers and I are thriving! We were all black in color. I have a tiny white kiss of fur on my neck.

I am taking longer to grow, but I am eating well and love to play with my brothers. Sometimes I want my own space, and like to hang out on a heating pad or in my cat carrier on a fuzzy blanket, with the door left open.

I am not a fan of sitting on laps much, but I enjoy being held. I have a squeaky little voice, and if you talk sweetly to me, I'll give you a soft meow--otherwise, I don't talk much. I am spunky, but have good manners.

I am used to Feline Pine litter.  I prefer one box to pee and one for poop. My litter box MUST be in a private space. Because I am small, I use a low-sided open box (my foster mom found our litter boxes at the dollar store, and they are a perfect size for me!).

Recently, I learned two tricks: how to clean my face and purr! I feel very proud of myself when I'm all cleaned up with a full tummy. It makes me feel purrectly wonderful!

I like hiding in boxes, chasing plastic kitty toy balls (the ones with a jingle bell), and sometimes like to carry a fuzzy toy mouse around with my mouth. I love to play after meals, then I'm ready for a super cute kitty cat nap.

I prefer Fancy Feast wet cat food . . . though I occasionally munch on Purina ProPlan kitten dry food. 

I am gentle with my mouth and claws (which are kept trimmed in front). I don't bite, but if I'm scared, I'll cry. I've practiced wrestling with my brothers, but they can be annoying. I wish they'd just learn I am a pretty princess, and don't want to be gnawed on!

My ideal home would be with another sweet kitty to show me the ropes. I think I would feel lost to be an only kitty. I haven't tried out dogs yet, but I am cared for by my foster mom's young boy, and I trust him. If you have kids that won't chase me or squeeze me too hard, I think we'd become good friends.

If you have a peaceful home, with a spot or two for private naps, I'd love to come home with you!

I will be ready for my new home sometime after the third week of June 2023.
