About Cola

Cola is one of three wary kittens who started out fully feral. He’s still fearful and will hiss when approached, so anyone handling him needs to go gently. Scooping him up by the scruff or using a towel is the safest way to pick him up for now. With time, care, and patience, Cola could warm up, but right now he’s not a lap kitten. Adopters should be comfortable working with kittens that haven’t had much positive human contact. Ready to take on the challenge? Click apply to start the adoption process.
