About Theodore

Theodore turns heads with a sleek black coat and an even softer personality. Surrendered by his last family through no fault of his own, he quickly wins over every visitor with his easygoing way. He thrives on affection, and he’s equally happy batting at toys or melting into your lap for a good chin scratch. Theodore is the sort of kitten who wants to be near his people, ready to fill quiet nights and busy mornings with company and cheerful purrs. He’s still young, so there’s plenty of kitten mischief and wonder left in him, but it’s his warmth and gentle heart most will notice first. This little guy is looking for a place where he’ll be part of the action—an adopter who values companionship and will give him all the attention he craves.
