About Apizza

Apizza is a four-month-old tuxedo kitten with a gentle spirit and a quiet way of moving through the world. She started life outside in New Haven alongside her mom and siblings, so the indoors still feels foreign and sometimes overwhelming. Apizza tends to be shy—when faced with new situations or too much activity, she will retreat or even hiss, but she never lashes out and simply needs time to adjust. A calm, patient home will make all the difference for her. She needs someone who can offer consistency, gentle reassurance, and the space she needs to unfold at her own pace. Apizza does best when she has another confident, friendly cat around; she must be adopted with a littermate or placed in a home with an existing social feline to help her learn the ropes and feel secure. For an adopter who understands her pace, Apizza could become a quietly devoted companion. She is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed. The adoption fee is $275.
