Barrett - Domestic Medium Hair Cat for Adoption in West Jefferson, Ohio

** In order to adopt a kitten from HSMC, you must live within an hour of the shelter. You will initially "foster to adopt" the kitten and then the adoption will be finalized when they are brought back for their spay/neuter surgery. You may need to bring the kitten back for vaccines and exams prior to their spay/neuter surgery**

This little darling is, Barrett. This sweet little guy was born around 5/30/26, so he's just 11 weeks old. Sweet Barrett and his two siblings were found as tiny, stray kittens, who had already had one sibling disappear, and a kind person brought them to us, determined they not suffer the same fate. This impossibly gorgeous guy and his siblings have been lucky enough to spend their time in a foster home since coming to us and that's where they currently reside.

Barrett looks like a perfect calendar kitten, but he's more than just a pretty face. He's a total lovebug too! He loves people, but is also a huge fan of other kittens. His favorite things are running, playing, jumping and wrestling with other kittens and cats in his foster home. His foster mom says that he is a total sweetie pie, and would really benefit from having a kitten friend. It would be IDEAL if he could be adopted with another kitten. Kittens adopted in pairs do SO MUCH better than kittens adopted alone. They are better adjusted and socialized, less "bitey", generally happier, plus no one can play with a kitten the way that another kitten can. Trust us when we tell you, you don't want a Kittenzilla loose in your home! Look up, "Single Kitten Syndrome". It's a real thing and it's REALLY no fun for people or the kitten. Plus you save two lives instead of one!

Being so young, this tiny little guy would do just fine in a home with other kitties, or cat-friendly dogs. Care must be taken to protect his tiny size from being stepped on, sat on, hurt by a larger animal, or unintentionally injured by young children.

Since this dashing young man is going to have long, flowing fur it will be imperative that he be brushed regularly in order to maintain a gorgeous mat-free coat. Please keep this in mind if you are considering this looker, as he will need extra help with all of that fur, especially as he ages.

Would you like to meet this cutie and hopefully another HSMC kitten too? If so, please complete an application and schedule a meet and greet. Remember that this cutie patootie resides in a foster home, and is not at the shelter, so a meet and greet must be scheduled!
