My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Astroturf! Why Astroturf? Because I'm a little scraggly and right underfoot! My favorite thing to do is play. I love wand toys, ribbons, feathers, kick sticks, tunnels, and just about anything I find on the ground. I even love to play with toes! (I don't understand why people don't like that.) When I'm sleepy, I will cuddle, but only until I'm ready for more play. I'm so excited to find my forever home!

Astroturf was found outside with his brother, Looch. He is a sweet, playful kitten who can definitely get into some mischief. We suspect that Astroturf would be good with other cats and would likely benefit from having a playmate. It is unknown how he would do with dogs or small children. With his age and demeanor, it is possible he could do well! A slow introduction is crucial for success in bringing a new pet home. Ask our adoption counselors for tips on introductions!

Notes from foster: On more than one occasion, Astroturf got curious and jumped into our toilet...you may want to keep your toilet seat down!

Astroturf is a kitten: he will jump, climb, scratch, nip, and get into trouble. He's supposed to! Be ready for a little extra chaos when bringing this guy home.

Astroturf is a medium-hair cat. As he gets older and his hair gets longer, watch for tangles and matting. Regular brushing is the best way to manage longer hair.
