About Cowboy

Cowboy is a brown tabby kitten with short hair and a big personality for his size. He’s about six weeks old and ready to take on the world, mostly from the comfort of a soft lap or with one of his favorite toys nearby. He’s at that age where he’s open to new experiences and will likely get along well with other cats, dogs, and kids—just give him a little time to settle in. Cowboy’s ideal day includes playing with his siblings, chasing a ball across the floor, and then curling up with his people for a quiet nap. He isn’t demanding; he just wants some love, a few cuddles, and the chance to be part of a family. Given how young he is, you’ll be responsible for completing his vaccine series and scheduling his neuter by the deadline in your adoption contract. If you’re considering more than one bundle of joy, Cowboy’s siblings are also available for adoption. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
