About Penelope

Penelope is a sweet little kitten from our "Odyssey" litter, named after a character from the classic epic poem. Though she came to us slightly older than the usual socialization window, a dedicated foster has been working hard to help her adjust. Penelope is the shyest of her siblings, often appreciating a calm environment to build her confidence. All of the kittens in this litter are fully vetted and ready to find their forever homes. As we continue to learn more about Penelope’s personality, we’re excited to help her discover all the joys of being a beloved pet. Ready to make Penelope a part of your family?
