About Garden

Garden is a lovely 3.5-year-old female kitty who arrived at the HSOV on May 6, 2026, with her five adorable kittens: Cucumbers, Leek, Parsnip, Tomatoes, and Turnip. Unfortunately, three of her kittens did not survive, but Parsnip and Turnip thrived under her care and have never left her side. With her striking black-and-white shorthaired coat and charming face, Garden has dark golden eyes, a pink nose, and a distinctive black 'goatee' on her chin. Her personality matches her looks; she is sweet, calm, and affectionate, always keeping a watchful eye on her little ones, especially the quiet Turnip. Garden has received her vaccinations, ensuring she's ready for her forever home. Currently, she shares a spacious cage in The Jungle Room with her kittens, demonstrating her nurturing nature. She's due for spaying soon, but she's ready to find her place in a loving family, ideally alongside Turnip. However, she'll still be a wonderful companion even if adopted separately. Don't hesitate to give this loving mom the home she deserves! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
