Hamate (aka Hammy) is an adorable male kitten who was brought to the HSOV on August 20, 2025 along with his sister (Crista Galli) and their mother (Glory Pesto). This little family was found on Greene Street in Marietta, and Glory was doing her best to take care of her newborn babies who were just 5-days old at that time. Thankfully Glory and her kittens went home with one of our wonderful foster mothers on August 24th so that Gloria could raise her babies in a loving home environment instead of a small shelter cage. This little playboy has a black short smooth coat, a long tail, and a cute kitten face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers. Hamate was given vaccinations and Pyrantel wormer on October 19, 2025. He weighed 1.8 lbs that day. Hamate was given booster vaccines on November 9th and December 22, 2025. Glory Pesto, Hamate, and Crista Galli were returned to HSOV on December 23rd since the kittens were fully weaned. Hamate and Crista are currently sharing a double-wide cage in our Jungle Room. Momma Glory has her own private suite in the same room. Hamate has a sweet, easygoing personality. He loves to play and snuggle up with his little sister Crista. Hamate is good with children as well as other cats. We look forward to taking more flattering pictures of this handsome little man but wanted to let potential adopters/rescue groups know that he is in our shelter. Hamate will be neutered in the near future and will be ready to find a fabulous home of his very own. Naturally we'd love to see him adopted with his sister Crista or his mother Glory Pesto .. Or better yet a family trio (smile). Update: Hammy was neutered on March 9, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine. He weighed 7 lbs that day.
