About Yertle

Yertle is a striking black kitten with a soft, glossy coat and a charming white patch on his belly. His long white whiskers frame amber eyes that reflect a sense of wonder about the world around him. At just 8 weeks old and around 2.125 pounds, he’s a tiny bundle of energy and affection, destined to grow into a medium-sized cat weighing between 8 to 10 pounds. Yertle arrived at Cobb Animal Services on November 7, 2026, and he deserves a family who will cherish him and provide a warm lap to curl up on. As a black cat, Yertle often goes unnoticed in a shelter setting, which is a shame because he is ready to make a big impact in a loving home. He is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and he will be neutered prior to adoption. Yertle is currently sharing his space in kennel 660 with friends Horton and Cindy Lou, and while he would be happy to go home with one of them, he is also ready to start his own adventure. Come meet Yertle; he’s waiting for you at Cobb County Animal Services. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
