About Alder

Alder is a little tuxedo who moves through life at his own pace. His foster home says he’s got an easygoing spirit—playful when he feels like it, then suddenly content to lounge and be cuddled. Alder takes his time, sizing up the action, and gets involved when it suits him. He isn’t flustered if other kittens try to pull him back into games; he just goes with his own flow. There’s an old-soul quality to this curious kitten, almost like he’s studying the world as it unfolds around him. Born March 2, Alder is a Pisces—no wonder he’s so affectionate and intuitive. Currently fostered in Salinas, CA. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
