About Astra

Meet Astra, a little black kitten who is ready to light up your life! This playful girl loves to snuggle with her fellow feline friends, so you'll often find her piled up, enjoying the warmth of companionship. When it comes to playtime, Astra is a fan of anything that flutters or resembles a bug. Even though she's still mastering the art of bug hunting, she has plenty of enthusiasm and charm. Astra has a bit of an independent streak. Found under a deck with her siblings, she’s adjusted to the indoor life but still shows her spunky side. She can be shy and may hiss when feeling unsure, but with your patience and understanding, she’ll become a loving companion. Astra must go to a home with another cat; she thrives in the company of her peers. While she would be thrilled to go home with her sibling Nova, she can also adapt well to a friendly feline that shares her zest for life. If you have a calm dog that respects her space, Astra might be open to that too! Ready to welcome a unique personality into your home? Submit your application today! To ensure a smooth adjustment, we encourage adopting kittens in pairs, so they can learn from one another and keep each other entertained.
