My name is Butternut!

Born around August 5, Butternut is now 3 months old. He's the last of his litter with an interesting light orange coat, but without the traditional tabby striping you'd expect!

Butternut is super sweet and affectionate. He takes about a week to adjust to new people and surroundings, but he loves strings and sticks and can be lured out to play. Butternut is easy to pick-up, but isn't one for snuggling much yet. However, he loves pets and will start purring if he knows a petting session is coming, even before you start petting him! His whole body rumbles with the vibration of his constant purrs.

He was fostered with a lovely couple and their older kitten. 'They are now comfortable walking around our house and are all okay with being held, at least by us (but maybe not strangers yet).'

He is currently fostered with Gigi & Tostada, if you are looking to mix-and-match for a pair. He loves other kitties!

If interested, contact Dana at 925-586-6408 or DanaCC4C@gmail.com. Or meet him on Saturday, 11/23, 1-4pm at the Pet Food Express in Walnut Creek.

Since he's a baby still, he needs to be adopted with another young kitty for companionship and appropriate social development. And must return to our Cat Hospital in Clayton at 4 months of age for his neuter appointment.
