About Aspen

Aspen is a bold little heartthrob who lives for excitement and affection. His soulful gaze will stop you in your tracks—serious eye contact that makes you melt. Still young, Aspen hasn’t outgrown his playful spirit. He chases toys, launches up cat trees, and keeps his foster friends on their toes—especially Colin, his favorite roughhousing partner. They’re not a bonded pair but adopting them together might be the best move you make. When the action pauses, Aspen turns into a snuggle expert. He soaks up attention and stretches out with his people or the nearest cat pal. Aspen’s gentle touch makes him a natural with kids and he fits right in with both cats and dogs. Beware of those mealtimes, though—he’s a notorious wet food bandit and thinks every surface in the house is a potential buffet. His hunger for food is matched only by his appetite for fun. As a kitten, Aspen had a congenital esophageal defect, but that’s in the past. He eats without issue now and is thriving. He does have some allergies, but it’s unclear exactly what triggers them, so a little extra care keeps him comfortable and happy. If you want a mix of sweetness, mischief, and sheer charm, this young gentleman could sweep you off your feet. He’s available for adoption in Hoover, AL through Kitty Kat Haven and Rescue.
