About Poppy

Poppy is a gentle kitten who is learning to trust, especially enjoying the company of her brother Jack. At 8 weeks old, she and her brother were rescued from NYC and are thriving in their foster home in Greenwich, CT. While Poppy is a bit shy, she warms up quickly and enjoys being held and petted. It's preferable for her to find a home with her sibling or another friendly cat to help boost her confidence. These kittens are fully vetted for their age, having received thorough examinations, vaccinations, and preventative care. Poppy and Jack have tested negative for FIV/FeLV and are microchipped. The adopter will need to arrange for Poppy's spaying at or before 6 months as part of the adoption agreement. Vet references are required, but there is no donation fee as their care has been sponsored. Interested adopters can meet Poppy in Greenwich, CT, after a brief application review.
