About Streak

Just arrived at the Montecito Pet Shop, Streak stands out with a sharp streak of white running down his nose and exceptionally long whiskers—both stylish and handy for squeezing through tight spaces. He’s a striking black and white tuxedo kitten, found under a house with six other kittens and an unrelated mom. No one’s sure how he made his way to that spot, but it’s a small miracle he landed somewhere safe. Streak is playful, though you’ll notice a hint of caution at first. Give him a little time and he’ll warm up quickly, eager to become your favorite companion. He’s already had a vet check, is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his FVRCP vaccines after testing clear for Felv/FIV. Meet him through RESQCATS at The Montecito Pet Shop in Santa Barbara and get to know this little survivor for yourself. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
