About Carrot

Meet Carrot! This handsome 5-month-old orange tabby has transformed from the shyest of his litter to a confident little guy. With a gentle, independent nature, he's made a special bond with the large dog in his foster home. Carrot has been around dogs, children, and new adults, though any children in his forever home should be age 5 or older to respect his space while he acclimates. He can thrive as an only pet as long as someone is home most of the day to help him build his confidence. If household members are away during working or school hours, a friendly, social pet would be ideal for keeping him company—he would particularly enjoy a dog friend. It's worth noting that we recommend adopting kittens in pairs, as having a littermate can provide important companionship and playtime, helping him adjust more easily in unfamiliar situations. You can make an appointment online to come meet him! The adoption fee for Carrot is $250. Your new best friend is just one click away.
