Hi, my name is Brightheart, I was named after a character in a novel. You see I was found all on my own with a very bad wound on my face just like the kitty in the book. King Street Cats thought I was very strong and brave for such a little guy and I should have a name to match.

It was pretty scary at first. I was in a big city shelter, it was so noisy with lots going on and my face hurt a lot. But then I was whisked into a carrier and before I knew it I was at King Street Cats. Then in another blink I was in a warm comfy foster home. I needed some special care at the vet and quite a few stitches but I am all better now!

I just love playing with the other kittens here. I really like all the yummy food and treats and even try to steal some from my friends. I don't mean anything bad it's just that I didn't always have enough food and I need to make up for lost time. My foster thinks I will always be kind of a small guy because of my rough start. I love people and snuggles are just the best. Oh and sun puddles, I love sun puddles.

Anyway, I didn't mean to run on. Do you think maybe I might be just the kitty you are looking for to join your family? If you do let's meet!

[Brightheart needs another kitten or two to play with. Because of all he has been through and his habit of trying to steal others food he cannot be with dogs.]
