About Butternut

Meet Butternut, a sweet, gentle, and shy little fellow. Much like his namesake squash, he has a kind and mellow personality. While Butternut can be a bit reserved at first, he becomes friendly and playful as he warms up to his surroundings. He thrives in the company of other cats and would flourish best alongside one of his siblings, Pumpkin or Sweet Potato, or another friendly feline buddy. Born outdoors, Butternut was part of a trap-neuter-return (TNR) project before being welcomed into the rescue. He now deserves the cozy indoor life of a forever home, where he can receive all the love he craves.
