Dill is a 4-month-old male Domestic Short Hair, classified as small. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and house trained. While he has special needs due to balance challenges from early illness exposure, it does not affect his energy or lifespan. Dill is based in Lafayette, CO, and while he is high-energy and playful, he enjoys snuggles, too.

About Dill

Dill is quite the character with a big personality, often expressing his demands with loud meows. He lets you know when it's dinner time and is not shy about requesting a cuddle by meow-screaming until someone picks him up. This little guy loves being held and exploring his surroundings, displaying a delightful mix of energy and charm. Born on May 31, 2026, Dill faced a rough start. He survived a distemper outbreak that took the lives of some of his siblings, leaving him with permanent balance and coordination challenges. He wobbles when he walks and tends to fall over, but he approaches life with enthusiasm, running, jumping, and climbing without hesitation. While he has mastered using the litter box, he needs a little extra help when it's meal time. Dill's ideal home will prioritize his safety, ideally with more carpet or rugs as he needs something to grip onto. His current setup includes low entry litter boxes and special bowls for meals. Although Dill may get stronger over time, he will always have his wobbles, and his condition won't affect his lifespan. Dill, who is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and house trained, is ready for adoption. It would be wonderful for him to find a home with his sister Cardamom, though he can go to a home with another kitten or young cat if that isn’t possible. His adoption fee is $250.
