About Scoots

Scoots is a Turkish Van mix kitten with a strikingly white body dotted with cute brown spots and a brown tail. This little lap cat loves to curl up for naps but has a playful streak—he enjoys chasing toys and wrestling with his siblings. Though Scoots has cerebral hypoplasia (CH), which makes him a bit wobbly, it doesn’t hold him back. CH cats often grow stronger over time, and Scoots already jumps, plays, and explores just like any healthy kitten. He gets along with other cats, dogs, and children, making him a good fit for many types of homes. Scoots is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for parasites, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV, so he's all set to start his next adventure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
