I'm looking to re-home our kitten. Coal was born May 30, 2021 and we adopted him from a local vet. He is very shy but loves to play with all kinds of toys and cat towers. He doesn't scratch furniture, but he does love to ruin plants. We have another kitten and they aren't getting along well. Mainly due to our first kitten being spoiled and liking everything his way. We think he would do best in a quieter home to fit his shyish lifestyle. He likes to do his own thing. Please feel free to send me a message if interested in giving him a great home. ...
