About Pine
Meet Pine and his siblings, the Tree kittens! These little guys came to the shelter feeling quite frightened after spending their early days on a property with their parents. They were brought in for their safety, as the owner feared for their well-being around wildlife and traffic. Though a bit timid, Pine is learning that humans can be friends, especially with positive interactions and lots of Churru treats. Ideal adopters should have some cat experience and patience, helping these kittens adjust and grow. Having an outgoing resident cat around could greatly benefit their transition and show them that the world isn’t so scary. While they've seen the outdoors, they must now stay indoors for their safety and health. A catio could offer a wonderful compromise for outdoor enrichment without the risks in the environment. Pine is available for pre-adoption and will be ready to head to his forever home after spay and neuter surgeries. Stop by to meet Pine and see if you’re ready to add him to your family!
