About Ernesto

Ernesto is just as sweet as his brother Dreamer, always ready for some love. He prefers to stay on the ground instead of being picked up, but he's the ultimate cuddler. He communicates his affection through gentle love bites and playful antics, often grabbing your shirt as you walk by to get your attention. Picture him rolling around like a little rag doll, showing off his playful side. This charming kitty comes from a rescue of five kittens who were found abandoned on the east side of the Big Island. Ernesto and Dreamer were scared and sick at first, but they've blossomed into confident, healthy cats with wonderful personalities. Ernesto would thrive in a home with his brother Dreamer, but he could also adapt well on his own. They’re both social and enjoy sharing attention with humans. Whoever adopts Ernesto is in for a treat; he's a delightful mix of love and quirk, promising to bring joy to any household. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
