About Sable

Sable is a bold little black kitten with an explorer's heart. He spends his days scaling armchairs and dashing down hallways, turning everyday furniture into mountains and forests for his adventures. After a round of energetic play, he’ll curl up for a deep nap, usually right next to his siblings. Sable loves company—consider adding one of his littermates along for double the fun. At just about ten weeks old, he’s ready to settle in with a family who will give him toys, cuddles, and lots of affection. He’s young and adaptable, so he’ll likely get along well with other cats, dogs, and children as long as you ease the introductions. Sable currently thrives in a foster home in Washington, DC but is looking for a place to call his own. He isn’t neutered yet—his new adopter will need to handle this by the stated deadline. Vaccinations are up to date for his age, but future rounds may still be required. Sable’s only requirements are a bit of patience, a cozy home, and lots of love. Ready to meet your new best friend?
