About Shire

Shire is a lively little guy full of personality, and his journey is quite remarkable. As the only survivor of a sick litter of five, he embraces life with unmatched enthusiasm. His purr can be heard from across the room, and he adores cuddling on your chest, radiating pure bliss. Shire is adventurous when it comes to food and is eager to try anything, even your dinner. Because he's a spirited young kitten, he sometimes forgets his manners and would thrive in a home with school-aged children and experienced cat owners. Shire gets along wonderfully with other cats and is dog-friendly as well, so he’ll need mature playmates to guide him until he calms down a bit. When you arrive home, he’ll rush to you, chirping and begging for affection, making every reunion delightful. It’s clear he survived for a reason—perhaps that reason is you! Remember, if you don’t already have pets, we ask that you adopt two kittens to ensure proper social development. They’ll keep each other and you entertained! This cat has tested FeLV/FIV negative, is up to date on vaccinations, parasite-free, and litter-box trained. Ready to find your new companion? Apply now!
