Meet Halo! Halo is a 4–5 month old Domestic Short Hair with a beautiful torti coat of rusty brown and black. She’s a super friendly, playful, and inquisitive kitten who wants to be wherever her people are. Halo greets you at the door, follows you from room to room, and happily “helps” with whatever you’re doing. She loves to play with anything that moves—golf balls, jingly plastic balls, bottle caps, and fishing toys are all favorites. She also enjoys watching cat TV and soaking up sunshine from a cozy windowsill. When you talk sweetly to her, her eyes grow big and dark and she melts right into your arms. She’ll quietly crawl into your lap and fall asleep, perfectly content just being close. She eats wet food mixed with dry twice daily and settles nicely when left alone, often choosing a high perch for a nap. Halo will do best in a loving home with sunny spots, a scratch pad, and lots of companionship. Halo has met other cats and two cat-friendly dogs without issue. She’s confident, curious, and not shy with new people. She would likely do well with respectful children and would thrive with a kitty friend or a cat-friendly dog, though she could also be happy as a solo cat with plenty of attention.
