About Poppy

Poppy is one half of a charming orange Domestic Long Hair kitten duo, paired with her buddy Prince. This pair is exactly what you want in young cats—cuddly when they're tired, but quick to chase toys and climb blanket forts when it's playtime. They’re young, so you get all the rambunctious fun and deep purrs you’d expect. If you’re looking to multiply the cuteness, their friend Gabriella rounds out an irresistible trio, but Poppy and Prince already have a special bond worth keeping together. Both are ready for their permanent home and would love someone who wants entertainment, affection, and a purring companion (or two). Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
