About Pistachio

Meet Pistachio, affectionately known as "Mr. Stache." This charming little guy boasts a sweet demeanor, often found napping at the bottom of the kitty pile. With his light orange fur, he embodies all the playful antics typical of orange cats. Pistachio loves to wrestle with his siblings and is always ready for a good cuddle that comes with a soothing purr from just a few gentle pets. He shares a special bond with his sister, Truffles, and they make quite the greeting party for their foster humans. Treats like freeze-dried chicken really get him engaged, sometimes even prompting him to perch on a shoulder to survey the room. Pistachio needs to be adopted with a sibling or to a home with another kitten under one year old. Almost Home Foundation emphasizes adopting kittens in pairs to ensure their socialization.
