About Butternut

Meet Butternut, an adventurous little kitten ready to embark on a new journey. Rescued when he was just a few days old, he and his siblings, Tater and Rhubarb, have transformed from tiny beans into lively little whirlygigs. Now almost 10 weeks old, Butternut is curious about everything around him. He jumps, tumbles, and pounces with enthusiasm, always eager to explore his surroundings. He boasts beautiful mackerel tabby markings that make him stand out in any crowd. Though we’d love to keep him forever, Butternut is ready for adoption and to find his forever home. To ensure the best of companionship, we prefer that kittens be adopted in pairs. A single adoption may be possible if there's a playful young cat already in the home. He also requires a strictly indoor lifestyle and cannot be adopted into homes with children under five years old. Adoption is an adventure filled with joy and love. Let Butternut bring new excitement to your life!
