About Finch

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Finch—a lively, playful little guy bursting with personality! Finch loves to be held and carried, always seeking a little extra attention like the charming, spoiled kitten he is. One of his favorite activities is dropping his toy balls and tiny mice into the water bowl, hoping to see them swim—much to his delight and to the amusement of his siblings, who gather round for the show. Finch is always on the move: when not splashing and playing, he’s found perched by a window, keenly observing the world outside. He’s also known to playfully pester his friends while looking adorably innocent, showing off his mischievous yet endearing side. If you’re seeking a talkative, sweet, and entertaining addition to your household, Finch could be the perfect match! Almost Home Foundation has specific adoption policies for kittens under 6 months: they are generally adopted in pairs to ensure proper socialization and healthy feline development, unless you already have another young kitty under a year old. Please review the foundation's requirements regarding age, household approval, and residency before applying. Finch is ready to find a loving home in the greater Chicagoland area and can’t wait to bring his playful spirit to your life. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
