My story

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

Hey there, I'm Sarafina!

I'm a 4-month-old kitten with a lively personality and an adventurous spirit.

Here's what you should know about me:
-I'm an independent little explorer who loves to venture around and check out new places.
-My curiosity keeps me on my toes-I'm always looking for something interesting to investigate!
-I'm quick-witted and love solving puzzles, especially when they involve a fun toy.
-I'm all about playtime, and my energetic nature means I'm always ready for some fun.

I'm a bundle of energy and love to stay engaged. Whether I'm chasing after something or discovering a new hideout, I'm always busy and loving every minute of it.

Great news! Right now, kittens like me are buy one, get one free, so you can bring home double the joy with a sibling or friend for me to play with.

Good news! I'm already spayed, up to date on all my vaccines, microchipped, and ready to find my forever home!

Want to bring me into your life? You can easily apply on our website: www.foothillshumanesociety.org. Don't worry-applying doesn't commit you to adopt, but it helps speed up the process if you decide I'm the one!

For any questions or to arrange a visit, contact us at adopt@foothillshumanesociety.org or call (828) 863-4444.

I can't wait to start our new life together!
