About Burnett

Burnett is a playful little guy, about 6 months old as of September 30, 2026. He tested negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworms, and he's up-to-date on his vaccinations. Neutered and ready for a loving home, he’s come a long way after being rescued from a gas station where he suffered from fleas and malnourishment, along with two botfly larvae embedded in his neck. Now, Burnett has transformed into a friendly, funny, and affectionate companion who is great with other cats after some proper introductions. While he’s not been around dogs, his playful nature suggests he might adapt well. Given our values, we don't believe in declawing or allowing pets outdoors, so we kindly ask that you respect this philosophy. Come meet Burnett and see if he’s your next best friend!
