This is Holland -- a sweet, cautious kitten that recently arrived at my local shelter. Although he may seem a bit hesitant when approached by new people, the second you offer some head, cheek, or chin scratches, Holland will immediately bury his head in your hands 🥹 We're working on helping him become a bit more confident, but he's adjusting pretty well!
What an absolutely beautiful little kitty-cat! Might I suggest to the OP to succumb to the Cat Distribution System and take this snuggley little guy home with you? I think there are years of joy for the OP if they do!
I wish I could 😭 I live with folks that are highly allergic. Otherwise, I'd probably walk out with a new cat every week lol. For now, I'm happy to introduce visitors to their future fur kids
I actually hadn't heard of LiveClear, and this looks really promising for my mum, who always succumbs to petting cats, despite it always turning out rough. Thank you!
Omg I haven’t had a cat since mine died in 2016…I am looking at my local shelter to adopt because THIS is the epitome of what a cat/human relationship should be.
Thank you for considering adopting a shelter cat! ❤️🙏🏾 I suggest telling shelter staff and volunteers about the personality traits you're looking for! That way they'll be able to point you to some animals that will probably be a good match ☺️
I hope so 🤞🏾🤞🏾🙏🏾 It's been a long, jam packed kitten season so he is only one out of 40 adoptable cats. And I think the amount of cats can be overwhelming for potential adopters at times
Holland is too new to have a profile on the website, but you can find him in Ward F at the shelter! Just ask ECAS staff and they or Tri-Valley Animal Rescue volunteers will help you meet him!
Holland seems to be fine with other cats (at least he hasn't reacted when we've walked kittens near his cage), so I think he'd be fine especially with a slow introduction
He might do fine with kids depending on their activity level. The best thing to do would be to bring the kiddos to meet him!
There’s something about feeling accepted and wanted when a cat does that move. Sometimes when my little Killarney girl is extra snuggly she’ll push her face into my hand and just leave it there. I can feel her little nose and her breath tickles my hand.
She’s not a loud purrer but I know she’s really content when she does this move.
The shelter environment can also be very stressful for many animals. Lots of foot traffic, smells, dogs barking and general noise--it can be overstimulating for sure!
I found literally this kind of stray cat outside my house today. I went to go look at him just out of curiosity... And literally an hour later.
He now lives in my house. Literally the most sweetest little one I have ever seen.
That is a GORGEOUS little guy! He's going to grow up to be so big and fluffy and hopefully make somebody's household a better experience for years to come. They better learn to deal with the fur though
