About Louie

Meet Louie, a shy yet affectionate little guy looking for his forever home. Rescued as a stray in June 2026, he was just a baby and understandably a bit scared at first. But it didn’t take long for Louie to warm up to people, revealing his playful and loving nature. He has a unique charm, with a little quirk in one of his eyelids, which doesn't cause him any discomfort. Louie has been great with the other kittens at the shelter and would thrive in a home with children. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, so he’s fully prepared to join your family. This sweet cat is eager to bring joy and companionship into your life.
