About Peter Cottontail

Peter Cottontail had a rough start but is now bouncing back, thanks to some dedicated vet care. At just four months old, he came in weak, not moving well, and barely eating. That frail little body is gaining strength each day, and he’s showing more of his sweet personality as he recovers. During his healing, Peter bonded with fellow feline Autumn—a confident and affectionate companion who stands by his side. The two are now inseparable and need to find a forever home together, where they can keep enjoying each other’s company. Peter gets along with other cats, is already house trained, and at this age still has plenty of kitten energy paired with a gentle temperament. While his early days weren’t easy, he’s resilient and ready for the next chapter. Fun fact: Peter was born under the determined Capricorn sun, so expect a little extra spirit in this sleek black and white kitten. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
