Meet Dipper! Dipper is a shy but sweet 10-month-old tiger-striped kitten learning to trust the world. Though he’s nervous at first, with patience and gentle handling, he settles in and sometimes even enjoys being held. He loves other cats! (especially his sister Mabel, who he would love to be adopted with! Dipper is also very food motivated (treats are the way to his heart!). Dipper needs an adult-only, cat-savvy home with experience socializing under-socialized cats. A slow, crate-based intro is key so he can ease into his new home with comfort. Dipper is making steady progress and will thrive in a quiet, patient home filled with love, treats, and time.
