Gelato - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

For inquiries contact jean@staf.org. Information and application are at www.staf.org.
Gelato is a handsome grey-blue striped tabby with an endearing personality and a goofy little charm all his own! Gelato started life with his mama and siblings, fending for scraps behind a restaurant.
Thankfully, they were rescued and welcomed into a loving foster home, where there was no shortage of food, love, attention, or fun. Gelato is a very sweet boy who loves to show affection in his own adorable ways, including giving little love bites! He’ll happily come nose-to-nose with you for a close-up greeting, and he absolutely loves kisses. He’s playful and loves tunnels, but he also has a serious couch-potato side. After a good play session, Gelato is perfectly content to kick back and relax. He’s okay with being held, although he can be a little shy at first while he gets to know you. Once he feels comfortable, his silly, affectionate personality really shines. Gelato absolutely adores his siblings and does wonderfully with other cats. He would like a home where he has a feline friend to keep him company and plenty of opportunities for play, exploration, and, of course, cuddling.
Now, Gelato is spending his days with many other kittens in our Kittengarten, but he is striving for a very special kind of flavor to his home, one where there is lots of fun and folly to be had!
