About Petunia

Meet Petunia, a charming 2-month-old Calico kitten who's just arrived at our rescue after being found as a stray. She's still settling in, which means we’re still learning about her personality and habits. Like any young kitten, she’ll require patience and training to thrive in her new home. During this crucial time, it’s essential to help Petunia become confident by offering her various experiences. Socializing her with different sounds, touches, people, and even fellow pets will play a vital role in her developing into a well-adjusted adult cat. Remember, kittens aren’t born knowledgeable about living with humans—it's a learning journey. Petunia will need your guidance to understand how to navigate her new environment successfully. If you think Petunia could be the fit for your home, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Keep in mind that our process prioritizes matching based on the best fit for both you and her. We encourage same-day adoptions when there’s a match! Our fees include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and even a small bag of food to start. Don't wait too long; Petunia is ready for her forever home!
