About Lavender

Lavender is a sweet little kitten on the lookout for her forever home. At just 9 weeks old, this black Domestic Short Hair already has a spirited personality and is ready to charm her new family. Though still very young, Lavender is likely to get along with other cats, dogs, and children after a bit of acclimation. Her playful nature means she will thrive with plenty of toys and love from her new family. Currently staying at a shelter and destined for a new life, Lavender hasn't been spayed yet, but her future adopter will need to ensure this is done by early January next year, as part of the adoption agreement. Vaccines may not be fully completed upon adoption, so the new owner will need to continue her vaccination series. She truly deserves a loving family who can offer her cuddles and care. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
