Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Northampton, Massachusetts

Chooka spent the first few weeks of his life living outside before he came to Dakin to start a new adventure. He has come a long way in trusting his new human companions and is now ready for his next step into a home! A "Tiny Spirit Kitten is a feral or extremely shy kitten that has had no socialization with people in their first few months of life. These kittens will vary in terms of becoming social in their new homes; some may become very sweet and outgoing, while others may only ever trust you and no one else. They will all take patience, dedication and hard work to help them adjust into home life. Confinement to a single small room with a litter box, food, and water is a must. They do well in a home with other animals and, depending on the kitten, may even do well with children. They will go home with specific instructions that will need to be followed in order for everyone to have a successful transition.

Levy has been at Dakin for awhile prepping for her new home. She is a cat who knows what she wants and what she likes! She loves playing with toys - she will chase a crinkle ball, bat around some crumpled paper, and fly through the air chasing a wand toy. She likes to be in the center of the action listening to conversations, stealing pens off your desk, and knocking things to the floor if she thinks she can make them into a toy. Once she is settled in and knows her people, she will come over for some head rubs and attention. She prefers head rubs only - she is not a fan of full body petting and will let you know when you've crossed the line. If you're looking for an inquisitive, playful, companion, Levy may be the girl for you! Sassy cats are usually confident, intelligent and active. They often don't like to be held, or have places on their bodies that they prefer not to be touched. When handled or petted in ways they do not prefer, they are likely to swat, nip or bite. They will be happiest in adult only homes or those with older kids who understand cats that have rules and will leave them alone. If they are bored then they may get into trouble and often need extra playtime in order to be their best selves. Sassy cats will go home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for EVERYONE in the home to be happy. Typically, sassy cats are not for first-time cat owners.
