Oak - Domestic Long Hair and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Oak, a two month old male kitten.

Oak is a fluffy little kitten who is still learning that people can be pretty great. Right now, he can be shy and a little hissy when faced with new situations, but don't let that fool you—this youngster is all bark and no bite. He's easy to handle and young enough that with a little time and socialization, he should gain confidence quickly.

Oak will do best in a home that understands shy kittens and is willing to help him come out of his shell. Starting him off in a small room, such as a bathroom or bedroom, will help him feel secure while he adjusts to his new surroundings. Plenty of gentle handling, affection, and positive interactions will go a long way in helping him learn to trust.

With patience, consistency, and a little "forced love" in the form of cuddles and attention, we think Oak will grow into a wonderful companion. Underneath that cautious exterior is a fluffy kitten just waiting to discover how good the indoor life can be.
