Hi there, I'm Cole — a sleek, solid black kitten with a big personality packed into a tiny frame. I was rescued from a nearby city where I’d been wandering alone, hungry, and scared. Luckily, a kind soul saw I needed help and made sure I got to safety. Now I’m settling in at Animal Ark, waiting for my forever home. Even though I’m still getting used to my new surroundings, the staff say I’m sweet, affectionate, and full of playful energy. I’m also quite the chatterbox — I’ll happily keep up my end of any conversation! Because I’m still a young kitten, I’m looking for a home without children under five. I tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV), which means I must be the only kitten/cat in a home or share a home with another cat/kitten who is FeLV positive. About 70% of cats exposed to the virus can eliminate it and live normal lives, and infected cats may still have a good quality of life. If you’ve been dreaming of a miniature house panther to brighten your days, come meet me at the shelter. I might just be your perfect match!
