Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Explorer, Wrestler, Social

Chive is the self-appointed explorer of his family! This brave boy was the first to start venturing outside the kitten room, proving that no frontier is too far and no baby gate is too tall. If there's a cat tree in the vicinity, you can bet he's already plotting his route to the top!

Chive is always ready to rumble, and loves to wrestle! Even though he's the biggest of his siblings, he doesn't always win the match, and will snuggle as the consolation prize. He's a humble guy!

Chive loves being held and enjoys all the pets you can give. Sometimes he sees your toes and can't resist giving them a nibble! He has seen the resident chihuahua in his foster home and didn't think twice about it.

Chive is growing up with his mom Herb Garden, and his siblings Clove, Cilantro, Cherry Tomato, Chamomile, and Carrot! They play, they snuggle, and he is used to a big happy family; we think he could be lonely without a buddy. Check out this beautiful garden of kitty cats by searching for them at the following link, and please consider taking Chive home with a friend! bit.ly/APA_AvailableCats
