About Leinster Bates
Leinster Bates was born around April 5, 2026, and he's ready to find his forever home after being rescued from life outdoors. This little guy is full of personality without being overly hyper. He loves to play but also enjoys bonding moments, often circling your feet when you’re busy or sitting down to eat. Leinster isn’t just friendly with people; he loves interacting with dogs too. He has a particularly playful relationship with the dog in his foster home, and he shows no fear, just a bit of initial caution. You’ll often hear his soft purring as soon as you engage with him. He adores being picked up, cuddled, and carried around. His enthusiasm shines when it comes to toys, especially cat wands and anything with bells. He’s been exposed to both a senior cat and a large dog, showcasing his adaptable nature. Leinster would thrive in a home with another young cat or kitten, ideally one of his siblings, Munster or Ulster. He’s up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is negative for FELV/FIV, and microchipped. Although he will need to be neutered once he reaches the right age, he is ready to join a loving family. *** PLEASE NOTE*** 4Paws only considers local adoptions in the Northern VA/DC/MD metropolitan area and does not adopt to students.
