Meet Joan, a tiny tortoiseshell dynamo with a big personality and even bigger plans. Born around March 7, 2026, this spirited kitten is already making a name for herself as the life of the party-and the first one to greet you at the door. Joan is wonderfully social and absolutely adores people; she'll come trotting right over to say hello, politely request some pets, and then be off again on her next important adventure. While she doesn't mind being picked up, Joan has a packed schedule and simply can't be tied down to lap duty just yet. There are toys to chase, imaginary games to win, and household "matches" to dominate-especially when there's a ball involved. If she had a career path in mind, she'd undoubtedly be a professional soccer star, showing off her impressive batting skills with every enthusiastic swat. Like her mama, she's delightfully chatty and always ready to share her thoughts with you. Joan is full of kitten energy and curiosity, but she also has a soft side. She shares a special bond with her mother, Theresa, and can often be found by her side, taking breaks from her busy day to recharge with a little family time. Joan would thrive in a home that can keep up with her playful spirit, offer plenty of affection, and appreciate her lively, affectionate nature. She loves to have a kitty playmate, so Joan is looking for a home with another young, playful cat or kitten. She's equal parts heart-melter and entertainer, and she's ready to dash her way right into your life.
