Espresso was found near Galesville, Wisconsin, alongside a couple of other kittens. He’s about 8 weeks old and weighs around 1 lb. 4 oz. Upon arriving, it was clear he needed some extra care. He showed signs of a previous flea infestation and has been diagnosed with ear mites, which he is currently being treated for. Espresso is still learning that people can be safe. He isn’t ready to be snuggled yet, and that’s perfectly fine. At our rescue, we take the time to help kittens like him gain confidence. A patient adopter who understands that trust takes time, perhaps earning it one slow blink at a time, will help him thrive. He will need a loving home that continues his socialization journey. Before adoption, Riley's Rescue at Henthorn Haven covers the cost of his neuter and vaccinations. If you're searching for a kitten needing support to transform from a shy stray into a cherished family member, Espresso might be the perfect match for you. You can meet him and begin the process of building trust together — even if it starts with just quietly sitting nearby and offering gentle waves and slow blinks. Espresso is ready to discover what true HOME feels like.
