About Zenebe

Gerard is a brown tabby kitten who thrives on playtime and affection. True to his age at about 7 weeks, he's brimming with kitten energy and especially enjoys napping on people and romping with his siblings. Gerard needs to be adopted with one of his littermates, or into a home that already has a young, playful cat to share in his enthusiasm. He’s likely to settle well with respectful children and should do fine with dogs given slow introductions. Gerard's a social kitten who wants to be in the middle of action—if he’s not cuddling a person, he’s off chasing Zenabe or tumbling through a game with his siblings. He’s motivated by both food and fun and is just starting to learn his way in the world. Gerard is up to date on his vaccinations. Neutering, a microchip, and additional vetting are included with adoption. As an Aries, Gerard brings the curiosity and spunk you'd expect from his star sign. Ready to fall in love?
