About Thyme

Thyme, a sweet little Domestic Short Hair, is a bit on the shy side. He’s spent some precious time in foster care, where he slowly learned to enjoy short pets. Wand toys are his favorite, and he has a cute habit of licking churru off your fingers. Thyme would thrive in a patient environment where someone can help him continue to socialize after adoption, making him feel safe and secure. As a "Tiny Spirit Kitten," he comes with his own unique challenges. Kittens like him may take time to adapt to a new home, so patience and dedication are key. They often adjust best in homes with other animals, and with the right guidance, he could also do well with children. Along with adoption details, his future family will receive specific instructions to ensure a smooth transition into home life. To see more about adopting a kitten like Thyme, he’s ready for his forever home! Ready to adopt? Get in touch today.
