Having been brought to us around St. Patrick's Day, it was befitting that Paddy and his siblings were given lucky names and are now ready to bring a little luck into your life! They've been in foster care, where they adored the foster's toddler and ultimately gave the resident dog a paws up after careful consideration. Paddy is what we lovingly call a little "mushy marshmallow." This kitten has the sweetest, most gentle old soul. He starts purring the moment you so much as look in his direction - and those purrs only grow louder the second you pick him up. He absolutely lives for attention and affection. At his core, Paddy is a soft, snuggly lovebug who just wants to be close to his people. Whether he's curled up in your arms or soaking in gentle pets, he is happiest when he's being doted on. But don't let his mushy side fool you - Paddy can also hold his own during playtime. He loves to wrestle with his siblings, keeps up with his bigger brothers, and isn't shy about stealing toys right out from under them. While he's still a bit clumsy and figuring out his coordination, that only makes his playful antics even more endearing. Paddy has also enjoyed being held and doted on by a toddler, showing just how patient and easygoing he is. With his loud purrs, gentle nature, and adorable clumsiness, Paddy is pure sweetness through and through. Thinking about adopting multiple kittens?
