About Rootin'

Rootin' is a charming male kitten, discovered alongside his brother, Tootin', on June 2, 2026, after well-meaning Good Samaritans found them on State Route 26 in Marietta, Ohio. At just 6 weeks old, Rootin' exhibits a delightful personality packed with playfulness and sweetness. With a short white coat marked with orange tabby patterns, Rootin' is easy to fall in love with. His unique van pattern coat features golden eyes, orange tabby ears, and a long ringed tail that adds to his adorable look. He received his vaccinations and dewormer, with a weight of 2.8 lbs recorded on August 5, 2026. Rootin' complements Tootin' perfectly; while Tootin' takes charge of fun, Rootin' remains the calm counterpart. Both kittens are set to be neutered before adoption, and it would be wonderful if they could find their forever home together. They get along well with cats and children, making them ideal companions for a family.
