About Griffith

Griffith is part of the "we were promised Siamese and got black cat excellence instead" club, and he’s working through any letdowns with the sort of seriousness only a very small, earnest kitten can muster. He comes across as the mysterious tough guy—always a little reserved, always observing from a safe spot—though those who know him best just see a shy little guy who sometimes pretends to be intimidating. He’s sensitive beneath that act, slow to embrace change, and still figuring out that indoor life doesn’t require constant vigilance. He’ll need someone patient who understands that for Griffith, trust is built slowly, moment by moment. Let him take his time, and you’ll spot glimpses of his playful side, particularly when a wand toy comes out or he’s reluctantly joining in the sibling games he’d never admit to enjoying. To help him thrive, Griffith must go to a home with another friendly, young cat willing to show him the ropes. If you’re up for letting a gentle, cautious kitten set the friendship pace, Griffith could be your match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
