Donkey - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Calgary, Alberta

Donkey is currently facing a minor PR crisis: he looks like he is permanently bearing the weight of the entire world's problems on his tiny shoulders. He is blessed with a face of pure, unadulterated melancholy.

But please do not let the face of existential dread fool you--Donkey is actually a total fraud. He is not sad. He is, in fact, an absolute blast.

Donkey completely rejects the concept of stranger danger. The second you step into the foster room or sit down on the floor, he is consistently one of the very first members of the Shrek crew to march right up and greet you. Occasionally, his welcome protocol involves launching a surprise tactical assault on your socks, but given that he's just a baby, we've agreed to give him a pass on his minor foot-fetish crimes.

His operational manual includes:

-Classic Kitten Shenanigans: When he isn't plotting against your toes, Donkey handles his daily business with a ton of energy. He pounces, he runs, and he does all the high-powered kitten stuff you'd expect from a well-adjusted little dude.

-Sibling Dependencies: While he is still actively prototyping his human affection style--alternating between accepting head scratches, sitting on you, and occasionally trying to climb you like a tree--his true passion is his littermates. He absolutely loves piling into a massive, tangled cuddle puddle with his brothers and sisters.

Donkey is incredibly adaptable and is tracking to do great in almost any home environment. Because he is still a tiny dude learning the finer points of how to cat, he will need to be adopted with a littermate or join a home that already has a friendly, playful feline mentor to show him the ropes.

He is currently accepting pre-adoption applications, meaning his forever family can reserve him now. He will be fully ready to officially pack his bags and move out of the swamp in early August!

Estimated DOB: May 8, 2026
Adoption Fee: $225.00
