Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Justine is an all-black 4-month old kitten who is sweet and a total love bug who doesn't mind being held.
But don’t let her innocent face fool you—Justine is a certified foodie! This little ninja kitten has mastered the art of cabinet climbing. If there’s a snack within reach (or, frankly, out of reach), Justine will find a way to make it hers.
She’s playful and ready to add a little bit of adventure (and maybe a little snack heist) to your life.
To meet Justine, fill out our simple prescreen (link below), and a volunteer will reach out to help you schedule a time to visit our PetSmart Millbury (MA) adoption center!
