About Ares

Ares and his sisters, Athena and Astra, are a trio of 8-week-old kittens who already live up to the title of playful and mischievous. Ares is a classic brown, gray, and silver tabby with a short coat, always ready to tumble after any toy and invent his own fun. He’s just received his first FVRCP vaccine and a microchip, but his vetting isn’t finished yet—adopters will need to ensure he completes his care schedule, including deworming, rabies vaccine, and neuter. Like many kittens this young, Ares would do best adopted with a sibling or another kitten for company; he thrives with playmates and benefits from the socialization. He’s house trained and already shows a brave, independent streak. While he is comfortable with cats, Ares is not suited for homes with dogs. Applications are open for singles or pairs. Closing chapter for this little #Ateam member: he’s ready to meet his person. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
