Story
Calliope is full of spice, can be very brave, and is a beautiful 3 month old. She has been coming out of her shell the last couple of weeks and once she warms up to those around her she enjoys playing and being around others. Calliope would do best in a household with adults as kids are a little scary for her. She needs to be adopted with one of her siblings Comet, Yoda, or Cinder, or have another young playful cat in the house. Due to her young age, Calliope will need to return to Scruffy Paws for future vetting. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!

Story
Look, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Comet! Comet is a very outgoing, playful, and adventuresome 3 month old male kitten. Comet LOVES to play and is the life of the party. He is very active and is great with all people including kids. Comet will need at least one young playful friend to live with as he is serious about play and really likes company. Because of his young age, Comet will need to return to Scruffy Paws for future vetting. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!

Cinder is a bright, playful, and brave 3 month old boy! He loves to seek out adventure and fun while he plays with his siblings. He is particularly close to his brother Yoda, but gets along with all well. He takes a little time to warm up to new people but once he gets to know you he loves to play and snuggle. Cinder should be adopted with one of his siblings, Yoda, Comet, or Calliope or have another young playful kitty to play with in his home. Because of his young age, Cinder will need to return to Scruffy Paws for future vetting. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!
