Hazel is still just a kitten herself, yet somehow she’s already raised four babies of her own. At only around 8 months old and tiny beneath all her fluffy fur, this sweet young mama is finally getting the chance to discover what it means to simply be a kitten. Hazel is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her people. The second you walk into the room, she’s likely to weave around your feet, flop onto her side, and ask for pets and attention with loud happy purrs. She’s gentle, easy to handle, and perfectly content being picked up and loved on. One of the most heartbreaking and endearing things about Hazel is that she doesn’t quite seem to understand toys yet. Whether she grew up as a stray or simply never had the chance to experience carefree kittenhood, playtime is still something new to her. She spent her babyhood surviving and raising babies instead of learning how to chase toys like she should have been able to. Now, Hazel deserves a home where she can finally feel safe, spoiled, and loved—where she can slowly learn that life can be soft, playful, and full of good things just for her. Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
