About Bloom

Bloom is a shy calico kitten who needs a little time to settle in, but she can be gently picked up and snuggled. She has always been around other cats and feels most at home when she has a feline companion to curl up with. Bloom does best in a peaceful, calm space where she can adjust at her own pace. She is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention. Bloom is also spayed and has tested negative for felv/fiv. Anyone applying as a first-time pet owner will need to provide a personal reference and must be over 21. If you already have pets, they should be spayed or neutered and current on vaccines, and a vet reference is required. Bloom is currently fostered in Vass, but she is available for adoption in Southern Pines, NC. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
