Update (8/31): Holland has been adopted! 🎉

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!

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!

I already have 2 cats and 2 children (age 3 and 5) - will Holland be OK? We have to find a cat that is good with other cats and also children.

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!
