Alice is a very sweet, playful girl who craves regular play and attention. She learned to love pets through the scratchy nylon brush, and has been a regular seeker of affection ever since. After a slow introduction with toys and treats, she has done well with calm dogs and cats. While she did initially have lots of hissy introductions to the critters in her foster home, Alice eventually realized that she was safe enough to interact with a diverse group of personalities and sizes of dogs and cat. She meows a bit if her foster is late for playtime, but is usually cat quiet. She initiates cuddles with family and strangers alike, but does not like grabby hands or other behaviors that are rude. She loves to explore new territory, and usually wins races with her siblings to get a toy. Poke out a finger to ask for affection, and she usually gives a nose boop or allows petting. She will usually turn into a purr baby at the stroke of her neck. Some days, she allows herself to be cradled like a baby, but she really likes shoulder rides.Despite her attitude of independence, Alice still panics a bit if she finds herself alone in a room too long, thus we feel Alice would do best with furry friends. I just joined my foster family and we are still getting acquainted with one another. Once they learn more about me, they will add more information here! Alice is from Houston, TX.
Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats' emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of "Single Kitten Syndrome" (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten's most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
