About Joey

Joey, also called Jo, is a mellow young kitten who prefers the peaceful spots in a room, often content to simply observe the world around him. He was rescued from the street with his sisters Tammy and Shaina and has adjusted well to life indoors. Joey likes to bat around bottle caps, toy mice, and springs, and finds fun in simple things like boxes and leaves. This kitten does better in homes without small children, as he values calm and quiet. Joey is spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and flea-free, so he is ready for a fresh start with someone who appreciates a thoughtful, gentle companion. Ready to fall in love?
